Red, I am sorry, if you feel I am/was attacking you. That was not my intent.
Couple things. 1) I never really got the attack on someone that goes:
"I was doing this or that when you were in diapers". 
All that really says is one peron is several decades, older than the other. I think we have established that.
2) so all these publications (from decades ago), list players that were in contests and what their records were, right? Because they wouldn't know what a player was betting as far as cash bets and how they were doing. So they are publications tracking contests. Ok, great. I really never doubted and still don't doubt that you did well in
some contests. I say some because I am sure you tell us the ones you did well in and conveniently don't mention the lousy ones. (kind of like Mdawg reports all his winning days but none or few of his losing day).
3) you mention working for Billy Walters for 6 months and even made the comment that you don't get hired by him if you are a nobody. I don't know that. I assume these top sports bettor went through "runners" like some of the top blackjack teams used and went through low level card counters. If you are going to repeatedly bring up Billy Walters, has he ever vouched for you or even said he knows who you are? I am not requesting that because I don't ask people to prove anything, but YOU keep claiming that.
4) You like to mention all these different academic type people that you claim you know, the latest being this "chair of a college department". Who gives a fuck? What does that have to do with gambling, or sports betting? I am casual friends with an actor. Not a huge name, but he has been in a dozen movies. I have never mentioned it because it has absolutely no relevance to gambling discussions. So why do you think all these different professors and academic types has relevance or impresses anyone on a gambling forum. To tell you the truth, if anything, it makes me think you are really from the academic college professor world, and like to gamble on the side.
5) And finally, I am an advantage player and specifically a card counter type advantage player. We play daily (or how ever often we play) against an industry and people from that industry, that want to stop us and want to identify us. My identity and anonymity is top priority for me. I see no reason to ever meet anyone from a forum, unless I was considering working for/with them. There is just way to much shit that occurs. I am aware other AP's don't feel as strongly about that and like to meet just to hang out. That is their call.
You specifically, I have had concerns about ever since you first expressed, or I first read your comments on members of a gambling forum and their anonymity. Even if not a card counter type AP, anyone around the casino industry as you claim, should understand that. That you claim not to is bizarre to me. And lately you have gone even further. It is almost like you are trying to discover peoples identity. Maybe it is nothing, but it raises red flags to me. I have experience with nutjobs from forum trying to indentify me for the purposes of harming my career. And I am not saying that is what you are up to. Just saying...
So No, I am NOT interested in having dinner with you any more than I am having dinner with Rob Singer. If I was going to meet someone from a forum, just to meet (not to partner on a play with), it would be mickeycrimm. Even other AP's that I have no doubts are AP's or even someone like Druff, I just see no reason to, when there is possible even if minute possibility of risk.
How about you just answer this one little question for me....just out of curiosity now. Is the Mob family girl you are in contests with your (second) wife? Or did Munchkin just make a mistake referring to her as that?
Otherwise have a good Vegas trip. meet lots of people if that is your goal. Heating up here now. Bring sunscreen.
