Boz, I hope you are kidding with this "I can prove" comment. But just in case you aren't, let me explain, no one need prove or explain any kind of win over a trip or any short-term period. That happens all the time, both players winning playing -Ev and players playing +EV and losing. That is gambling and variance.

I realize not everyone cares, but for me the problem occurs when someone claims winning over the long term playing -EV with no explanation. Mdog claims winning almost every day for 16 months playing -EV with no explanation other than "betting into streaks" and a large bankroll somehow enables a player to over come -EV and win.

Singer, well his claims have been all over the place and change frequently. At one time he claimed 10 years, over a million dollars of winning, playing -EV video poker, not playing 100+ % games, not even using a players card for that added EV, just using a progression system and some "special" less optimal plays and I guess machines telling him when they are hot or cold. Now when Singer stole the DU bug claim, he shortened this period from 10 years to 4 years, which he is still claiming (even repeating it today).

So years of winning -EV with no explanation, other than voodoo nonsense (Singer) or winning nearly every day for 16 months, with no explanation of how you overcome -EV are the things that have become pet peeves to me. Not someone winning over a trip or two or three. THAT happens regularly.

Congrats on that big win BTW.
Nope, I am not.

I can show we played at a positive number in Vegas in 2021 on one trip. And yes, regardless of what I played in positive EV games my wife played regular slots. But we put a lot through and I can prove we made money because of a few good hits.

Of course it’s luck to be an overall winner and we could argue the numbers on what I played versus what she played versus the comps we received.

And of course I won’t argue it’s not a winning strategy overall.

But we are invited to multiple huge events. Until of course we don’t meet casino expectations.

But yea, I can prove anything I put out there.
I don't think anyone ever doubts you. You don't go around posting nonsense, as so many others do.
