Is Sports Betting AP Play?

[AxelWolf]

It appears that some of you took offense when I said there was a link between AP play and the Greater Fool Theory. Do not be offended if you are included in those covered by the Greater Fool Theory. Anyone who buys a home, buys art or collectibles is also lumped in there. The title "Greater Fool Theory" is not meant to insult anyone -- it's just an understanding of the mindset of consumers.

I collect coins and art, and I bought coins and art from people who wanted to sell and I bought with the idea that I would resell it at a profit someday.

I have no doubt you have more experience at being a greater fool than most.

Is this greater fool theory based on buying something with the intent to sell at a profit someday?

Not everyone buys collectibles, art and a home with the intent to sell or make a profit. So I don't know how you can say anyone that buys that stuff fits in with the greater fools theory.

From my understanding, going on the basic idea of the greater fools theory, AP would not really fit well with that theory. I guess there could be some aspects of AP that might.

What if I use 2 match plays on baccarat while betting banker and player at the same time? Can you honestly apply the greater fools theory to that situation?

Come on, there is no need or that kind of nasty language, Onehitwonder. I am talking about the term "LarryS". I find that term completely offensive! It's the holiday season for gosh sakes.

Anti-semitic, are you?

Oh stop, you fucktard. (that's a word I am borrowing rom Mickey. )

Well, now, I wouldn't call him a fucktard.

... I'm not buying something and holding it to cash out in the future.

I wonder how many AP's bought Grosjean's blackjack books to profit by resale; or realized, later, that those might become very profitable to resell? Their "value" varies wildly, depending on the AP who wants one at the time? A more general example is a high-stakes poker player who solicits backers. He or she has to know the "greater fool" game to hold out for the deals.

Come to think of it, Grosjean set the whole thing up that way. To drive up the price.

What a little man screaming. Come on, pussy, take the bet. Alan will hold the money (if he wants to get involved.) What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

C'mon, pussy. Take my bet. To chickenshit, eh? What a punk little bitch you are. You have never contributed anything meaningful to this forum and you never will. You just troll. That's all you know. What a small little man you are. I ignored your bullshit for a long time. But push has come to shove. You should be banned from this forum. You are turning it into a cesspool just like Singer did.

Look, man, I would never offer a bet that I wouldn't take myself. You want to show how great you are, but fear that the next guy is better.

My exact proposition to Argentino was I could take a $2000 bankroll at 8 AM and gamble it up to a $2500 bankroll by midnight. Are you saying you can do the same thing?

[mickeycrimm]

Claiming I've won all these years is not jumping though hoops.

Tens of thousands of posts on dozens of forums claiming and arguing that you've won is jumping through hoops.

Compared to that, posting whatever you consider proof of winning shouldn't be a problem.

Lying about the facts is no problem to you. I haven't even made 10,000 posts in 12 years on the forums. And that dozens of forums is only half a dozen. You don't let the facts get in your way do you. I've gone through the motions of putting up facts at your requests in the past. All I got in return from you was nasty sarcastic responses. So go fuck yourself.I don't go thru the motions for a punk ass bitch like you anymore.

[mickeycrimm]

Are you really trying to tell me -- and everyone else -- that being an AP is pure science?.

Yes. Look up Probability Theory. It's the science I use in gambling.

Ah, stirring works which, coupled with strong coffee, together have helped to jump start me for the coming weekend.

Thanks for the inspiration.

I like Chinook Winds too. I don't run much action there but they give me the $35 rate midweek when I'm there. The rooms have a great ocean view. My sister lives in Alsea, not far away so I always drop in to CW when I'm in the area.

Anymore?...all storytelling aside, have you ever proven that you've won?

Can you prove that you've won?

You might be because of the slots you play. But a tables game player also uses skills such as card counting, which can't be disputed as a skill.

[Alan Mendelson]

AxelWolf your use of match play coupons is similar to an art dealer who goes to an auction knowing that a client is interested in owning a Dali that is in the auction.

Your match play coupons have a value. Knowing that there's a customer for the Dali has a value.

What I'm understanding here is that there is some problem with abstract thought. When I took the LSAT for law school I scored very high on the "make believe language" section.

[mickeycrimm]

Prove it to who? You? Who cares what you believe?

The purpose of card counting is based in probability theory.

Prove it to anyone.

If you don't care what anybody thinks, then why have you been jumping through hoops all theses years,
trying to get strangers to believe that you've won?

[Alan Mendelson]

Mickeycrimm of course card counting is based on probability. But you have to see and count and keep track of your own game. And I'm not even going to start with counting two tables. The point is there are other abilities needed to be a good blackjack player besides probability.

I have no doubt you score very high in anything that's make believe.

[Alan Mendelson]

My LSAT score was not make believe. Nor my diploma and I don't need to send anyone a package of my history because it's all online.

However I've NEVER had a profitable year gambling.

OMG! Just STFU. No one cares! No one cares about how smart you think you are, or your diplomas, or your journalistic career, or what awards you have won. None of it means shit as far as this or any other topic here. I guess you are upset that you have become irrelevant in life, so you keep telling us how great and smart you are and what a successful journalist you were. Nobody cares and it is meaningless.

The one thing you have said that does appear to have some meaning is your last sentence. I guess this is the basis for your anti-AP bias and agenda here. You can't or don't win, so you are bitter towards those that do. Get over it dude!

LOL -- calm down, KJ. Don't you know the old adage, the first one who brings up his college boards or his IQ already lost the argument?

You bring those things up only if somebody asks you first. Lots of posts, but nobody's asked me. Damned shame. I guess some things are self evident.

[kewlJ]

LOL -- calm down, KJ.

I am just so tired of the same shit over and over and over! Everything with this guy is his anti-AP agenda and everything an attempt to discredit some AP on this site. The little digs over and over. Today again, little digs at you with the package, with me with the counting two tables. He has been proved wrong on these things, just as he has with the 18 y.o. in a row, and yet he continues. He never lets up. There is something seriously wrong with this guy.
