KewlJ plays anonymously and gave up after a year in the red in BJ, no? That's what happens when you are an unlucky grinder. If you're getting twelves and thirteens all night who cares what the count is.
Since you asked, the answer is no. This is a lie you have repeated several times now.

My blackjack results for the year are slightly in the black. Yes, I had my worse year blackjack-wise due to less than half the rounds I normally play, and a significant portion of them at higher stakes, that variance wasn't very kind to me. Smaller number of trials at higher stakes is a formula for higher variance. It could be positive or negative. So happens it was negative for me.

Gave up? who gave up? I have supported myself for 17 years from blackjack play and a bit of other AP (mostly machine play). I have made just under 1.2 million from blackjack and approaching 1.5 million total from advantage play. No giving up. I'll be right back at it in 2021.

But you make a good point that I have always shared my losing and winning experiences. I have shared bad years like this barely in the black. I have shared a few years back when I made about 1/3 of expectation. I have shared months long losing periods. Because that is the way gambling works.....there is variance and losing periods! You lose some, you win some. If you are playing with an advantage you will win more than you lose in the long run. And that is why anyone with half a brain recognizes I am telling the truth.

Sure I may rub some people the wrong way (sideways instead of up and down ) and people will fight with me and call me names because they don't like my personality on forums, but deep down almost everyone recognizes I am legit because the math works and my experiences are just what they should be, up and down.

But some egotistical nut job like you comes along claiming to win all the time, every session, playing -EV, there is no one that believe that because it defies math and reality. Some people might humor you and enjoy the clown show for entertainment purposes, but even they don't believe the great "adventures" of hucklberry MDawg.
