And here is Moses response to the discussion on blackjack variance, in it's entirety, word for word:

"I'm only speaking to the single deck straight up game. I know now or care about the rest. But I do KNOW THIS GAME.

It was derived from my basketball background was spanned over 4 decades of playing, coaching, officiating.

High school. Suppose you win a game 100-88. There are several runs positive and negative during the course of that game. Plus most games are played on Friday and Saturday nights. So tired legs become a problem on the 2nd game. A 50-38 win achieves the same objective. The idea is ball control which reduces negative runs significantly. Keeping the other team on defense make it easy on the offense. Suppose you have a clear 20 foot jumper at the 7.13 mark. A high percentage shot for a good shooter. However, suppose you have a layup at the 6.05 mark. Almost a slam dunk by any player on the floor. Plus PLUS we kept the pressure on the defense for an additional 1.08. That is a long time to be playing man to man defense. Now, the opponent rushes their offense".



I gave you mathematical formulas generated by the top blackjack math guys with the use of computers to back up everything I said and my results. Moses responded with a story of some high school basketball player taking a jump shot at the 7 minute mark of a basketball game. Nonsense from the twilight zone that has nothing to do with nothing.

UCFX: please thank your friend Moses for the wisdom he shared and someone please share with Moses THE clip from Billy Madison, because we are all dumber now thanks to Moses.

I am done with you now Moses and all your sock puppets, alter-egos and various multiple personalities. Enjoy your life and all your ahhh...friends.
