WHy Do They Lie?

He pulled one of the most dishonest stunts I had seen at the time, when he posted an intentionally blurry picture

That's another lie.

I recommend you read a few pages. It is interesting reading.Yes I took offense at Alan's less than honest behavior. But if you read the next several pages, I didn't call him any names.

And that's another lie...here's a summary of the thread...

Jumping to the next table is a big part of my game, because I usually try to track a second table, as I am playing one.

I'd like to see how card counting is done from another table. At Caesars Palace the only way is by turning around in your seat because the tables are side by side, and players are facing towards the middle of each table. To see the action at the next table you'd have to swivel at least 90-degrees in your seat.

"Turn your chair to see another table"?? Seriously? I gotta say about half the stuff you post, Alan, I find myself saying "what?" or "hun?" or "what is he talking about?"

I never said anything about turning your chair. I asked about turning in your seat.

The table to my right is NOT 90 degrees to my right. The table lies at about 1:30 to 2'oclock on the vision 'clock', with the actual playing surface of the table more like 1:30. You DO NOT have to turn your body or your head or stand up and rotate to see that area.

Interesting kewlj. I haven't been in a casino where the tables are set up like that.

I'm sure this isn't an AP secret so how about naming the casinos where you can peek at the next BJ table so you can count cards at two tables simultaneously?

How about EVERY casino on the west side of the strip from TI down to Mandy Bay.

I can drive to any one casino RIGHT NOW.

Please name a casino with this set up. I'm going to take a seat and with my cell phone I will take a photo showing my view.

I'm a reporter and this is what reporters do.

What casino do I go to?

You want to drive to a casino, sit at a blackjack table and take a still photo looking straight ahead, as if you are some sort of 1950's robot. What, in your mind, do you think that is going to prove or disprove?

What it proves to me is that you are not understanding what is being described. What I haven't figured out is whether you truly aren't comprehending or whether it is some sort of unwillingness to understand. I get the feeling it is the latter.

Many times when a discussion reaches this point of failure to communicate or failure to comprehend what is being communicated, one party will ask the other if English is your first language, thinking maybe there is a language barrier. Since I know you understand English, I will refrain from that, but instead I will ask "Is this your home planet?".....because you seem like you are from another world to me.

I went to the Mirage at 3am. The blackjack pit was empty. I sat at a table in seat #2. I turned to the table on my right and took a photo from eye level. Obviously there were no players to get in the way. Now, tell me, can you see what the cards would be?

What an absolutely ridiculous exercise that was Alan. Completely manipulative and dishonest.

I don't know how much I will continue to participate here, or if I will at all. But I do know that you have now revealed yourself as a fundamentally dishonest individual. Someone I have little interest in interacting with.

kewlj you told me to go to any casino on the west side of the strip from TI to Mandalay Bay, so I chose the Mirage...I showed in the photos exactly what you didn't want me to see and confirm: the tables are too far apart so you can't read the cards on other tables. And it would be impossible if there were actually players at the other tables. Also -- and everyone else will see this too when they do what I did -- you're going to have to twist your head like Linda Blair in the Exorcist in order to look over at another table.

Alan, you have proved nothing...except that you are a nut...completely detached from reality. There is no benefit for AP's to participate here. I guess for the amusement. But watching a handful of complete nut jobs, is only funny to me for about 10 minutes. So I am out.
