Additionally, there are some things not even really about his claims that are or were big red flags to me.

The first was that wager that Dark oz put up the money and Wizard verified. the conditions were Dark oz was betting Mdawg couldn't have a winning session. Any gambler, advantage player or not, knows you can play a simple martingale or other progression and the likelihood of a winning session goes up to 80% or more. This is not a long term winning strategy, but short term like a wager on one session, that would be the play. this is exactly what Mdawg was prepared to do. And of course, Wizard is held to a confidentiality agreement, so he can't say.

But what was really disturbing is Mdawg tried to use this for some credibility saying things like "wizard has verified that he wins". That is not what happened. Wizard verified that small, short session was a winning session, as per terms of the wager.

The attacking of every player that dared not believe his story was also a red flag to me. And finally, the PMing or DMing as some of you say, people behind the scenes, trying to manipulate them or get them to support him, is a huge red flag. That is just not what real players do.
