You keep cycling back to this comment, Deitz.

Where did I EVER say I was doing something new or that I invented or try to take credit for. I don't care if something id 500 years old, if it is something I can gain an advantage doing.... I do it.

I mean card counting certainly isn't new. been around since Thorp's book in the early 60's and really even longer as the 4 dudes in the Army published a paper with a crude version of card counting 10 years before Thorp. Probably others that were doing some version of card counting and kept it to themselves.

I am NOT trying to take credit for anything. I just find something that I can do at an advantage. So stop with that shit Dietz.

Here is what you are doing, in blackjack lingo. You are telling people you have won for 10 years at a particular shop doing particular things. You are recommending others do the same.

Meanwhile, the shop has changed their rules, but you don't know the rules. You have no sense of them. You don't grasp that the previously 3-2 blackjack payouts are now even money. But you keep recommending the shop. And you are baffled when, this visit, you lose. You vow to come back next year and try it again. All the while, you have no idea that you are dealing with odds that have been cut. But you publicly tout (see what I did there?) the shop and you publicly recommend it.

That is how naive you are.

You have basically become a menace to any gambler who thinks you know what you are doing. In a sense, you are worse than a "tout." You have become what we like to call a "reverse tout." That's when the value lies in doing the opposite of what you recommend, a kind of George Costanza label. The difference is George eventually figured it out.
