We can all debate what is rich and what is successful in life. You KJ making over a million from AP is as real as it gets to me and I have no doubt it’s true. But it’s pennies compared to this MD character.
I think he is a rich guy too, Boz. I didn't always think that. But he is NOT a winning player, winning every session, every trip, lifetime winner, all things he has claimed.
As for KJ, do you guys realize I am now in my 18th year of fulltime AP/Blackjack (mostly blackjack) play? getting old!
A little over a million dollars isn't all that much when you divide that out. And my ride has consisted up ups and downs, just the way real gambling, with or without an advatage works. And it has consisted of under-expectation, lower income years, early on, when I was playing smaller stakes and during my run in Vegas, again, just the way real gambling works. Like me or hate me, there is nothing math defying, or even improbable about my journey. It is just the way gambling works. I suspect it is rather pedestrian and uninspiring to many.
As to why these guys push the fake narrative. I don't know. I guess it is just a narcisstic thing. wanting to be someone or something you are not. And the internet provides that opportunity, I guess. What is shocking to me is the doubling down, often escalating claims, when there is no one left believing these fairytales. That one is weird to me. I guess if they stop, they fade away into irrelivancy as Mr Singer is doing.
