ExhibitCAA He didn't like that I was discussing oscar's grind with chitown so he called me an idiot and a liar in order to show how superior his knowledge of gaming is to mine. I guess he didn't like that I was having a DISCUSSION with chitown and didn't just call him names and tell him...

You guys are too much. What exactly is a "progression faithful"? So, discussing OG with chitown without calling him names and telling him he is an idiot makes me a "progression faithful"? So tell me of the advice that I gave chi which was that he should learn to count and run some sims...

You don't know what you are talking about. Chitown was trying to discuss Oscar's Grind. I was discussing it with him. I wasn't for it or against it. I gave chi some ideas he should pursue to come to his own conclusions. What dangerous errors are you talking about? So, I am a fool...

No, these assholes are talking about me. A poster was trying to discuss Oscar's Grind. I told him that he should learn how to count and he should investigate the characteristics of poorly shuffled shoes to see if they are indeed exploitable by the betting scheme he was using. I didn't say...

I would have beraded you also! You must mean soft 13. I can't imagine why you would stand on that.

If the guy was being truly abusive couldn't you appeal to the pit boss to get him off your back? I have had to do that a few times. For the most part I don't think casinos like it when one player starts harassing other players.

Why insult other players? Let's see, you have spent a great deal of time accumulating knowledge and expertise that you know the rest of the population does not have. Then you go to play in a place where the vast majority of other players fit that category of not knowing. Then you get upset...

I can tell by the posts that you make that you have no real skills in math or computer science or statistics beyond perhaps using an excel spreadsheet form time to time or perhaps you use the cash register at McDonalds to add up the order at the drive through window. You just like to repeat...

Well, since I don't belong to the Church of Smart Aleck Know It Alls Who Beat Posters Up Because They Think They Know More Than Everyone Else, I don't think I have committed blasphemy. I told the guy to learn to count and I told him some characteristics of shoes that he needed to investigate to...

According to you. I know many people that started out using betting schemes and now use advantage play techniques. But saying as a statement of fact that someone who uses progressions cannot become a counter based on people you know is hardly "empirical". Just as my saying that people who use...

No, you are not missing anything, this is a common fallacy for this side bet, a higher count does NOT help this bet. A 3 card 20 or 21 is more difficult to make with a high count. You can't use a bj count for this game. You can easily prove to yourself why this is. Take excel and set up...

What basis do you use for your guess? Not seeing a given denomination for a long period? I don't know why the RM would be streaky. If it truly is then a positive progression would work well IF you had some way of determining when the streakiness is going to be in your favor. I'm guessing...

The worse thing a card counter can do is not bet that percentage of bankroll as dictated by the current advantage. You don't see enough high advantage plays to make up for all the negative advantage or low advantage hands you had to sit through to get to that point. Now the count and your...

I expected this kind of holier than thou nonsense, just didn't expect it to come so soon. I didn't say I couldn't afford to make a $4,000 bet, just said that psychologically it was a baseball bat to the stomach, which is what chitown said about his not being comfortable with making big bets...

Aren't you overlooking the presence of the cut card when you say this? If you are counting, and this just happened to me, and the count is high because the remaining deck is very rich in Aces, BUT those Aces are behind the cut card, you THINK you are playing at an advantage, but you are not...
