Boz, I hope you are kidding with this "I can prove" comment. But just in case you aren't, let me explain, no one need prove or explain any kind of win over a trip or any short-term period. That happens all the time, both players winning playing -Ev and players playing +EV and losing. That is gambling and variance.
I realize not everyone cares, but for me the problem occurs when someone claims winning over the long term playing -EV with no explanation. Mdog claims winning almost every day for 16 months playing -EV with no explanation other than
"betting into streaks" and a large bankroll somehow enables a player to over come -EV and win.
Singer, well his claims have been all over the place and change frequently. At one time he claimed 10 years, over a million dollars of winning, playing -EV video poker, not playing 100+ % games, not even using a players card for that added EV, just using a progression system and some "special" less optimal plays and I guess machines telling him when they are hot or cold.
Now when Singer stole the DU bug claim, he shortened this period from 10 years to 4 years, which he is still claiming (even repeating it today).
So years of winning -EV with no explanation, other than voodoo nonsense (Singer) or winning nearly every day for 16 months, with no explanation of how you overcome -EV are the things that have become pet peeves to me. Not someone winning over a trip or two or three. THAT happens regularly.
Congrats on that big win BTW.
