No one who has good information they are actually profiting from is going to revile that information publicly.

There is nothing to gain, it can only hurt you. So that's exactly why people are only willing to take that risk if there is something on the line that is worthwhile. Risk VS Reward. Why do some people give up TMI? People have other agendas. Perhaps they have dreams of radio shows, books, websites or whatever. Even KJ said something about a book.
Axel, I am not a math guy (geek). I am not a great AP, like yourself and Mickey, or a James Grosjean, that can figure out different ways to beat the casino. I am a lowly card counter. Nothing I do is new. Everything was learned from others and most of those "others" were on one of two blackjack sites that I participated on early in my career. Some of those guys worked hard teaching me, because I was resistant at times. And there was no reason for them to do so, no benefit for them. And when I turned the corner and began to have a little success, I vowed to pay that forward.

The way I do that is to share my journey. That's what I have done for, I don't know...7 or 8 years now. I share my journey....the ups and downs, the winning, the losing for weeks and months. The backoffs, the frustrations, the 'perfect shoe' in 2011. I can't share my journey and experiences without sharing the numbers. And I think sharing the actual numbers is important, because many of the newer players, come into the game with crazy, unrealistic expectations, from books and movies, especially the books and movies concerning the MIT teams.

I want these newer, young guys starting out to know, that blackjack AP play isn't high-end comped hotel suites and making millions per year. That's the movies and books. But real BJ card counting AP is not like that. It is much more of a grind. And it is not max bets of 10 grand. It's much more modest limits that are better tolerated. And playing these limits means an earnings ceiling of upper five figures, to maybe just touching 6 figures from blackjack. Maybe a little more if you do some supplemental stuff. So I share my numbers to convey that.

Yes I was robbed. And I know for a fact it was related to my participation on several forums. There are dangers. But I vowed to share my journey and that is how important it is to me to do so, just as others helped me.
