This also prompted the following reply from Shackleford himself several posts later:
At this point, let me make a disclaimer that not only do I think betting systems can't beat the house edge in baccarat, they can't even dent it. This includes whatever Mdawg is doing, without knowing much about it. So, I am not endorsing anything he says. In fact, if he is implying a way to beat baccarat straight up, I would strongly disagree.
This was one of several attempts by Mike to state as clearly has he could with the NDA hanging over him, that Mdawgs story was bullshit.
And lets not forget that to this day, Mdawgs thread and account of all his play is in the Betting Systems section, where immediately after the section title "Betting systems" it says: All betting systems are worthless. However, for the mathematically challenged, here is a forum of your own.
That Mdawgs entire work, consisting of all his claims resides in the "Betting Systems section" next to Dice control and other crazy "voodoo" shit is another attempt by Wizard to say just what theis garbage is.
