It is highly unlikely he is pulling a Don Johnson style loss rebate trick on the casinos to where he's +EV. Besides, most casinos are wise to that, anyway, as Johnson's "secrets" have been revealed. I do believe he probably has loss rebates though.

I don't understand why other forums are protecting him from criticism. I guess they like the content he brings, and they don't want the little fantasy story to be brought down to earth.

For many -EV high rollers, being treated like a king is enough. For MDawg, it seems he also wants the forum gambling cred to go with it, and figures that posting evidence of big bets, big chips, and nice suites is somehow evidence that he's winning. Obviously only the most naive ploppy is gonna fall for that.

With that said, MDawg doesn't really bother me, because he just spins tall tales to make himself feel important. He's not really hurting anyone, so I don't bother trying to expose him, or anything like that.
