I am sure most or at least many members got that email and yes we all know who sent it. I am not sure but I think that kind of thing may be against the rules, but who even cares. All it is a this guy proving that they people that have doubts and challenge his claims are right. No one telling the truth does a smear campaing like this. No need to.Originally Posted by Midwest Player
I have people that publicly say they don't believe me or my claims all the time. You know what my response is? "You are free to beleive whatever you like". If there is some misunderstanding that is contributing to their wrong beleif, I might try to clear it up, for example if someone says, I don't see how you can play only or mostly Las vegas and get away with it for 12 years, I will try explain some of the things I do that have allowed me to achienve some longevity, but other than clarifying something like that, I am not trying to change anyone's mind. They can think whatever. I don't go to "war" with everyone that doesn't belive me and list 27 people I am at war with because they don't beleive me, like this Mdog did. So that is what this is about.
I will say that me being jealous is about the silliest thing I have ever read. I am pro AP and anti-casino. I don't like the casino industry, I think they are slimey and take the low road every single chance they get. And to that I want all AP's to succeed and do well. I want all non-AP's to do well and win money. Unfortunately there aren't many blackjack players on this forum. I encounter a few at BJinfo, where you at least read. I wish them all success and many are more successful than me in terms of making money. I am a grinder and usually at the lower end of making a living. I am absolutely fine with that because I don't measure myself against anyone else, only against myself and my goals.
Here I engage with many AP's that are not blackjack players, or if they are they don't do what I do (jbjb, who is more successful). Ap's that do other things like Mickeycrimm, Axelwolf, Maxpen, BoSox (who is mostly BJ I believe), even Monet to name a few, I am pulling for and wish nothing but success. AP's that I don't know exactly what they do like darkoz, the same. I'll bet each of these guys that I just named, make money money than me and have made more money than me. Not jealous of any of them. I am not competeing with them. I compete with myself. So that is pretty silly.
Now do I get along with all these folks on every topic, of course not. Some of them call me names (sometimes about things total unrelated to AP or casino play). I still respect all AP's, anyone who can make money vs the casinos and honestly wish all well.
Now, yes, I do have a problem with a very few individuals who make claims that can't be, that defy math. Many of these claims I ignore. But the ones that keep going on and on and on with claims that can't be and defy math, I will challenge, like a T3, Rob Singer, and now Mdog. I think professional players and gambling math experts have a right to do that. It isn't personal with me, it is defending the math. It often becomes personal because these guys response is always to attack. That seems to be the playbook. If you have no legitimate answer for the challenge to the math, you attack on a personal level and name call. To me, that just confirms, their claims are BS. They can't answer so they attack and that includes sending mass PM's around.
