Yes you have cluttered the point.

To be clear...

Considering that you accept your friend's record of his online winnings as proof that he won here...

then do you stipulate that MDawg's check is proof of his winning for April & May?

That's ridiculous on the face of it. I can access every detail of my friend's account if need be. I can see every wager. And I can verify his printout with his records on the site.

So unless you can access every wager made by MDawg at every casino where he played and verify it from the casino's end by checking records there is no comparison.

Plus, coach is trying to make winning 100K in 48 hours at one site the equivalent of winning 85K in two months at one casino. In terms of the likelihood of the person doing the winning having the actual net profit in the time frames being discussed, the 100K in 48 hours is more likely (by far) to be the net than the 85K in two months.

Good try, though, coach.

Now let me explain what clear writing is about. There's an old axiom, "If you try to write for everybody, you write for nobody." In other words, when I write, I have to make the decision, "Am I writing as clearly as I can for my target audience?" or "Am I writing so someone with an agenda can't tease out some confusion?"

The answer is I write for the former. I'm not writing for coach belly. He is not my target audience. I'm trying to be clear to the VCT audience. I knew coach belly would try to make the analogy he did. My point, however, was about how mundane the 85K-in-two-months figure was for MDawg. So I wasn't going to address belly's anticipated junk because it made the mundane 85K point less clear.
