Let's go over a couple thing:
I suggest you check with the AP's of this town (vegas), not the trolls on forums. Despite my best efforts to keep my distance and anonymity from even other AP's, events of this past year have definitely changed how well I am known by both casinos and other AP's. Ap's read the databases regularly and I have worked on a number of (non-blackjack) plays with a well known AP friend and his team. I guess word got around because Mdawg even recently revealed that an AP member that he frequently argues with, recently confirmed that I am who and what I say I am. I am not thrilled about this development, but it is what it is.
One of the stupidest things you have ever written about me. If you have read me for years, as you claim, you would KNOW that I am a strong proponent of simplicity as far as counts and opponent of side counts for basic blackjack. There are some instances where a specialized side count can make a side bet, very advantageous....much higher advantage that traditional card counting. It is a specific and rare though.
As far a plagiarizing other players and authors, nothing is further from the truth. My game is about simplicity and some technics that I have taken from other players and authors, I have always said that and often credit different people for different specific things I do. And some of the things I do or have done, you wont find in any book. There is no discussion of counting a second table in any book (that I am aware of). Opposition wagering is discussed by Arnold Snyder in a book 25 years ago, but I never read that book. Instead it was explained to me by another AP on another forum, and I took that as the starting point for my own opposition type betting, which as it turns out is very different from what Snyder was talking about.
This notion that I don't play and only read books, is retarded. I think it was AccountinQuestion that first said something like that. You would have to ask him why? But the trolls jumped on it and repeat it ad nauseam.
Look the fact is, I am a blackjack card counter. The math of card counting is well known as books have been written on it for 60 years now. Casinos have worsened the rules, which forces players to be more aggressive in terms of bet spread and ramp and escaping at least some of the negative counts rather than playing through all hands, but other than that not much has changed as far as the math and how it is applied. What is new today and by today I mean the last 10 years is what a player does to be ABLE to keep playing. I have shared some of what I do, when I probably never should have. But anything I do has no or minimal cost. Short sessions....no cost. Escaping some of the negative counts....no cost. Spreading both way....minimal cost. My form of opposition betting....No cost. Higher variance but no long-term cost to advantage, EV or win rate.
Give it a rest dude! I am NOT at war with you. This isn't some pissing contest I am trying to win. Chill out. I recognize you took offense of something I said early on and continue to hold a grudge, even though I have admitted I was wrong and apologized. I guess you are the type of person that can't let things go and move on. Not much I can do about that. But come on dude....these things you are attacking me with are more like the different trolls behavior. Give it a rest.
