I will also answer the question about does he win all his largest (Max) bets? I think most people know the answer is unequivocally NO. If a card counter won even a majority of their largest bets, the advantage he would be playing would be far greater than a lousy 1%. The real answer is that a player doesn't even win half of his largest bets, even when the count is very high. Less than half.

The reason the advantage flips...ever so slightly, is because of the slight increase in blackjack at the 3:2 payoff. There are other much less important reasons like some of the double downs hit a bit more, but most of that advantage gained that allows the edge to flip ever so slightly is from a very small increase in blackjack.

But anyone who reads Mdawgs reports will have seen him say many, many times that he won the vast majority of his largest or Max bets. Again, that is just not how it work.
Of course his claims are BS, and anyone (everyone) here understands that. I guess most gave up questioning them years ago and see him as a buffoon (granted a rich one) for the claims. No one is allowed to win at will in Vegas under the circumstances he claims.

But it’s YOUR claims in this thread. And I’ll never understand why you perpetuated this lie. What did you have to gain? Obviously NOTHING. You did bring Max, a great poster, back but again WHY?

I’ve had my issues with you over the years but always believed your life story. And never doubted the BJ stories until now. Like V, I feel you screwed your believers over.

But as always, I’ll live. It’s sad seeing you in this situation, but you have no one to blame but yourself. Hopefully you look in the mirror and see what a mess you created (on these forums) for yourself.
