The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

[MDawg]

Humor aside, my experience has been with winning and getting comp'ed for years. When I first started playing again after that decade or so hiatus, I did feel like they had become tighter with the comps, but then also when I started playing again my average bet was more like 300 versus 3000. Whether it is because my average bet moved much higher over the past couple years (but still nowhere near a 3000 average) or I was wrong about their being tighter these days, I have had no problems with getting all the suites, all the RFB, and still winning consistently. So we may theorize all we like, but the reality is what it is, that as long as I have given them the action, they have given me the comps.


AMZN 2030 to 2031. It dropped below 2020 and I had an order to buy more in at 2017 but it didn't drop quite that low. Anyway, another successful trade and funny how this "2030" line that was mentioned seemed to me like a good point to buy for a trade today. And it did work out.

Another thing that is interesting is that when a trade moves against you you are actually supposed to RAISE not lower your sell price, making it more of a swing versus scalp, trade. I left it the same, did not raise or lower, but counterintuitive as it seems, that is what you are supposed to do. And if you look at AMZN now, it is over 2033.

Over at WOV that mixed metaphor and hackneyed cliche "writer" DarkOz offered to do PokerGrinder's suspension

Follow your own advice and ignore DarkOz, he's mentally ill.

He wore a mask to meet the other WOV members socially.

This is the sort of thing that rouses me to action. Homeless DarkOz comes in and says that the casinos would be immune to lawsuits once they open because they would be opening once the government gives them the green light to open.

That anyone would listen to this homeless hobo's legal advice is bad enough, but that he would even say such things with conviction is further evidence of how lost this mentally ill guy is.

I check in to Wynn and a maid going room to room passes the coronavirus to me. Assuming I can prove the source of my illness, how is the fact that the hotel opened for business after the governor lifted the closed business ban even relevant?

"You can't make this stuff up."

And this is how I get into trouble at WOV, I step in to argue with idiots spouting off about things they know nothing about. That I am offended by people who speak about matters with which they have no personal experience, is my problem.

A person giving bad gambling advice like MDawg does has no business criticizing others for giving advice. And he needs to clean up his own backyard when it comes to speaking about matters with which he has no experience.

PS: MDawg must really be pissed at Belly and Bumhole. They are constantly speaking about matters they have no experience at.

You didn't have to tell me

it makes perfect sense that mail order companies will surge during this period.

2200 seems more than in the cards in the near future, but there will be inevitable ups and downs.

TSLA achieving another post-coronavirus-collapse high too.

[MDawg]

Looking good Billy Ray!

[MDawg]

Wait a minute - tomorrow's Good Friday.

Belay that exultation!

[AxelWolf]

They are constantly speaking about matters they have no experience at.

That's a good point. It certainly seems like Mdawg and those guys have come to the conclusion that we can't possibly know what's possible since we don't play high limit Baccarat.

Let's just assume no one has any experience playing baccarat whatsoever. That leaves us with the rules of the game, the house advantage and the math. If people don't want to believe in things like math and science. What can I say?

Yes, it is all about reality and that is why they are being generous with the comps. They have the hook set so far up your ass that it is only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. Of course no one is going to hear about it on any forums.

What is the inevitable that will happen? That he will lose?

Are you conceding that he has won so far?

My response was to MDawg, not you. Coach, I am done answering your questions.

DarkOz walks back his comment and discussed how WalMart is being sued by an employee who claims to have contracted coronavirus at the workplace. Then he talks out of the other side of his mouth, saying that casino's can't open until they are certain that no one will sue them, which is, as I mentioned, nonsense - there is no way to prevent or foreclose lawsuits, all one may do is minimize liability. In other words, like some of you, DarkOz says all things and ends up saying nothing.

My response was to MDawg

Your response is a "yes".

[AxelWolf]

MD, its seems as we are both up so I will ask again, would you like to play some heads up NL/PL poker? I'm currently playing.

[MDawg]

I don't play online.

I did play poker actually, on and off during that decade or so hiatus, at a "free" site (you start with a free roll and then, and I won so many chips I started selling them monthly to other players). Was making decent money at it too. But when I started playing in Vegas again in 2018, I sold all the rest of my chips and stopped playing.

Many of us speculated as to whether the site I played on was legit. It seemed like the algorithm was beyond the range of what would be expected...people were getting ace flushes versus full houses where the river kept completing both hands, all the time, and other close hands constantly where it seemed just too implausible to be pure blind luck. Anyway, for whatever reason I won consistently, but it appeared that it could have been rigged to make the hands seem more exciting.

In any case no, I don't trust online.

If you're playing heads-up and it's rigged, it would be equally rigged for both people. I'm certain we could do a live stream game with real cards and a live dealer. How about that?

Coach is a piece of shit troll not worth resonding too. All he's looking to do is start shit.

[MDawg]

The way we observed (or believed that we observed - we had no proof) the rigged aspect of the free poker app I used to play on, was that it would bias at certain times against big winners who had accumulated a lot of chips. In order words, bias against me! I was in the top five or ten of winners on the site, before I sold all my chips. It was a free site, but you could buy chips if you ran out. Somehow, that is legal even in the U.S.

As far as straight playing for money across the internet, I know you guys don't always read what each other post, just mostly spout out without thinking, but that is currently deemed illegal by the DOJ.
https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...l=1#post101126

As I mentioned, besides the UIGEA we have the Wire Act (1961, 18 U.S.C. § 1084).

The DOJ has flip flopped on its interpretation of this. Originally DOJ interpreted to apply to all forms of interstate gambling, in 2011, the DOJ opined that it applied to sports betting only, but in 2018, reversed this position "meaning that [its] prohibitions applied to all interstate betting or wagering."

All you have to do is place a bet or wager across the internet for the Wire Act to apply. Up to two years in the federal slammer! I'd imagine that if you were caught and it turned out that you were using some kind of VPN to cloak your location or identity, or any complicated means to disguise the money transfers to your U.S. person, the sentencing punishment would be aggravated. But the mere placement of a bet or wager for financial gain across U.S. state lines by wire (such as internet) is enough to trigger the statute; there is no further requirement that the funds land in your U.S. bank.

Until such time as the Supreme Court decides to take up this issue which the 5th Circuit (2002) or the 1st Circuit district judge (2019) have ruled on, the DOJ remains the ultimate authority.

I always assumed that the reason that we are not allowed to phone or text while wagering at the tables is due to the Wire Act - that we might be taking a wager on the table action.

[AxelWolf]

What's interesting, and again two faced as can be - is that on the one hand Axel comes in and warns that I shouldn't post too much about what I do, and then follows up a day or so later with some post about how I need to show him more, up close and personal, about how I play Baccarat!

for some reason I didn't see this until just now. I was telling you should probably be careful with the semi live reports of exactly where you're playing out in the open on a forum for everybody and anyone to see. That's significantly different then having a semi-private Meetup. I don't know how you equate that with being two-faced. Just because someone else use that term for a specific reason in a certain situation doesn't make it true. That's very unoriginal of you. You should come up with your own material and think for yourself and not just get your ideas from everyone else. It looks pathetic that you're Clinging onto what somebody else said and trying to twist what I do or say to fit that narrative.

And if I'm cordial to someone in a PM or even in person but I State the facts of other things not privately discussed that doesn't make me Too Faced. If I told you you were the best baccarat player and that I believed you and all your stories and then I came on the forum and said the opposite, you would probably have a point.

[MDawg]

Who else used that term "two faced" with regards to you? I had no idea I wasn't the first.
