    Are we doing bold now? ok. This guy Mdawggy is GREAT!!!

    You can literally see him trying to figure how he got played so badly and desperately seeking some sort of face saving response. :D

    The fact is I would never have answered any, not a single one of those questions above. No AP would. We fight a war against an industry trying to identify us and stop us on a daily basis. Why would I or any real AP give any information like the questions asked above?

    The fact that I did not only answer these kinds of questions, but literally ran all around the internet (gambling forums) revealing all this and more, should have been a clue to anyone with half a brain.

    My email has blown up today, with my internet AP friends and, even players I network with, telling me they knew all my personal "story" was not real and meant to throw people off. I suspect a few real AP's did (probably not all those now claiming).

    The fact is I did exactly what I intended. I bought myself alot of cover (a decades worth), while I shared my experiences with zero risk. :)

    Keep trying Mdope. I am enjoying your humiliation.

    Yet another life's lesson you apparently haven't learned yet my UNKewl friend, is that the way things appear, is usually the way that they are.

    Sorry, but you're every bit the gay nervous poodle that you have consistently presented yourself as all these years. Whatever happened to Pride anyway? now you're going back in the closet?

    And ALL this concocted story about your life love "Joey" and the same sex marriage, your open heart surgeries, your broken heart, was all a bunch of B.S. :arghh:

    https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/announcements/30942-announcement-from-kewlj/

    We already know you faked your own death and that most everything you say is a lie. And now you're confirming that all you do is lie. ;)


    monet on the UNKewl one: Nothing you post is 100% true.
    From faking your own death to using multiple sockpuppets.
    Like Coach said... you are constantly lying to the forums and you have admitted to it time and time again.




    Quote:kewlj
    During my time in the AP community, on whatever AP/gambling site I was on at the time, I always tried to share my AP experiences as a professional mid level card counter blackjack player along with some of my personal experiences relating to that journey. Such was the case when as a member of Wizard of Vegas, I announced and posted about my marriage to my long-time friend and AP partner in 2014:MY SAME-SEX VEGAS WEDDING.

    It has now been 2 months since my partner, spouse and best friend passed away rather suddenly, although it seems like so much longer since I have seen his face and talked to him. I just felt I needed to say a few things about my AP partner/spouse and friend, who from this point forward I will refer to as my partner (both professionally and personally) and this seemed like the site to do so, not the garbage/hate site that until recently, I participated at. So I very much want to thank Wizard for allowing me this one time opportunity address the WoV forum members.

    Both directly and indirectly my partner is in a big way responsible for what success I have achieved as a blackjack card counter and AP. Directly, he was my partner, for a few years playing blackjack and being 20 years my senior it allowed for my own little unique version of the call-in approach...think father/son. And we could do so in plain site. Unfortunately his bad back didn’t allow him to play blackjack too often or long, so for the last 4-5 years his role as my partner has been playing through our machine play, playing the free play offers and generating future offers. This kept him busy and accounted for about 20% of my annual EV.

    In addition he served as my driver an managed my chip inventory. His perfection of these two responsibilities helped me develop and maximize the short session, hit and run attack that has been so beneficial.

    Indirectly, he might be even more responsible for where I am today. Back in the summer of 2003, before I had any interest in blackjack or casino play, nor knew anything about it, I shared an apartment with my partner. It wasn’t romantic, just a roommate situation, well ok, with a bit of friends with benefits situation. I wasn’t even 21 and was working a low level retail job. My partner, fairly recently divorced from his wife, worked part-time and received a small monthly disability allotment, so he needed a roommate. It worked out well for both of us. And he was a recreational video poker player several times a month in Atlantic City…..a losing video poker player!

    So when I stumbled onto a book on card counting at the library summer book sale, I was thinking maybe we could turn his gambling activity into a profitable or at least break even deal. But he wasn’t interested in blackjack. However I found that I was….big time. That summer and fall I learned all I could and declared to him that I was going to be a professional blackjack player. He played the role of doubter and every successful AP had somebody, a friend, relative, parent that played that role so you know what I am talking about. He didn’t know it at the time and neither did I, but his continuingly telling me it was not possible….guaranteed that I would find a way to prove him wrong. Eventually he became my biggest supporter.

    After 5 years of my career and building a small bankroll and limited success playing my home base of Atlantic City, and wearing out my welcome, I made the decision to relocate to Las Vegas and the abundant opportunity that the desert offered. In 2009 I left my friends, including him, my best friend behind and relocated to a place where I knew no one. 2010 was hard. I was enjoying some success, but was lonely. The next year, my partner picked up and followed me to Vegas. He left behind even more that I did. He left friends, family, and ex-wife and 3 grown sons. Their loss was my gain. We once again became roommates and formed the business partnership I described above.

    Personally, our relationship was never one of great romance. I always considered him my best friend “with benefits”. I figured a good deal of that was me being so screwed up, I had no idea of love or what love is. So it was a bit odd when I agreed to Marry him in 2014 after gay marriage became legal. Marriage offered a way to protect both our interests. Some may consider that an abuse of Marriage, but I am not so sure. Two people who care a great deal for each other and live together protecting themselves legally. Is it really all that different? Anyway, I hope you all won’t have that political discussion here.

    Now, with my partner being 20 years my senior, I always knew there was a reasonable chance he would go before me. But I figured that was 20 years down the road, when he was in his late 70’s or 80’s and I was in my 50’s. I didn’t expect to lose him in my mid 30’s. And I always thought I would have the opportunity to take care of him at some point, health-wise, but I really didn’t. He nursed me through two open heart surgeries, in 2011 and again last fall, when my once replaced heart valve failed. I never got to return the favor.

    Things have changed in my life in the past few years. My younger brother lives with me and this is our second year as blackjack partners. My mother who I was estranged from for 13 years, moved to Las Vegas and lives about a mile away in a 50+ community and we have grow close. And I have several close friends. But, I feel alone. Two months after my partner’s passing, I am still devastated. My heart is broken. He taught me many things in our 15 year friendship and I now realize among them just might be what love is, because I miss the hell out of him.

    I will survive. I will go on. I am not looking forward to the dating scene at my age, but whatever. But I know that what I am, including what success I have enjoyed as a blackjack player/AP, I owe to him. Thanks for being a part of my life Joey.

    And again, thank you Mike for allowing me to share this update. Doing so is important to me and will help me.

    I can dig up every post I have ever written. Doesn't change a thing.

    I can just see the wheels churning. I think you are slowly, very slowly (like online education type slowly) coming to grips with what has occurred.

    You're REALLY out there if you think anyone is doing anything other than laughing at you and shaking his head in disbelief at any of this backpedaling. No one is buying it, other than to the extent of confirming to us that you're an incorrigible UNKewl liar.

    REDietz! given that you view with disdain anyone who doesn't post under his real name, are you still in love with your partner UNKewlJ after this latest backpedaling of his and trying to claim (albeit, with no success) that his entire online persona is fictional? I'd think that you'd want to wash your hands in disgust of the UNKewl one now.

    I mean he's now the equivalent of the impeached witness on the stand who is asked, So when you said you were lying, you were lying? When were you telling the truth? now, or then?

    Watching you struggle to accept what you now KNOW but don't want to believe is truly priceless. :D

    But just to be clear. Only identifying aspect were changed to misdirect. Age, description, sexual preference, education, descriptions of where I live, things like that.

    i did share a few personal aspects like my 2 heart surgeries and my spouse unexpectedly passing away.

    I don't know what your trying to prove here now, but it is funny watching you now try to figure if I am a 40 year old female, 56 year old black male, 60 year old asian female, 66 year old retired guy or [insert description here], or [insert description here] or maybe a 38 year old gay guy....:rolleyes:

    But please keep going. Funny as shit! :D

    LOL. Redietz has been around the block a few times.

    If you'll notice, whenever I was defending something kewlJ mentioned (at VCT and here) that was eminently logical and mathematically sound, I started the defense with the mantra, "I don't know if kewlJ is a professional blackjack player, a short order cook, or working the brothels in Pahrump, but...." And then I would argue why what he said was sound. I must have used this same exact preface at least 20 times.

    Is the light bulb coming on, MDawg?

    And, not to be snide about it, but I avoided all responses regarding his love life or marriage or whatever. If you check, you won't see much of a response by me to any of that for all of these years. I was actually a bit rude with my perfunctory remarks (or no remarks) regarding his big life events.

    I guess you and belly and Rob should have, shall we say, taken my lead on that stuff. But no, you see what you prefer to see. You like targets, even if those targets are mirages.

    If you had any perspective, you'd see that he was taking you where he wanted you to go. I warned you about this not long ago.

    The other issue guys like you and belly have is that you wouldn't know how to evaluate odds if they were licking your face. You constantly make excuses about why ridiculous stuff is possible, so it could have happened, so it'll happen to me or it did happen to him. You guys are ass backwards on Ockham's Razor type of analyses. You literally can't see what's likely or what's not likely. It's frightening.

    Redietz, over the years you have wondered on these forum whether what you do qualifies as advantage play and you as an AP.

    A big part of APing is reading situations and people. And to that you most definitely qualify as an AP.

    Singer, MDawg and coach belly... Not so much. Moses? Well he was blinded by his hate, but at least recognized it almost immediately so we'll give him a 50%.

    Now speaking of "reading people", now that Madawg is so rattled by events today, let me tell you what his next play is. If he hasn't already he will be contacting Wizard and crying to him that I lied on his forum and should be banned (probably made that argument to admins here as well).

    The fact is that any AP that reveals almost anything about themselves is lying or mis-directing. I am sure Wizard knows that. Plus when many people complained about Mdawgs lying claims, Wizard always responded that it isn't against forum rules to lie. So he has already ruled on it. Either way, would be fine with me though. :)

    Boz writes; The Sienna in its short life by the river was an AP players dream. Their offers trying to get players to return there were the stuff AP books are written about. Who ever they hired to run the place had to know what they were doing wasn’t a good long term strategy if the right (or wrong) people took advantage of it.

    Tater says. Maybe it was called another name before Sienna. And that's the one that banned me. I remember sitting at Sienna one and guy walked in. He looked like a cross between John Candy and Edwin Thorp.

    That guy was the best I'd ever seen. He cleaned them good. I went back and the pit boss was all flushed in the face and looked like someone just shot his dog.

    Next day they dropped single deck to 6.5 and moved double deck to a shoe.

    Was that you Boz?:troll:

    Tater says: No, I simply realized you are more elusive than Barry Sanders. Now I could exchange insults with you from now until doomsday. But you are never coming out from behind that keyboard. So why bother?

    Hate: In real life 3 chose get in my biz, hurt my daughter, and run their mouth. I tracked everyone of them down. One cried, one died, and one stayed inside twice.

    On forums? Just KJ and Flash. What an absolute arrogant dickhead!. No I'm not going to compliment you more.

    In casinos/ sportsbook. O shit. More scuffles that I care to remember.

    Right but unlike the autobiographical (but false) Liberace narrative, your virginity was taken by some dude, and not a female stripper named Miss Bea Haven.

    Again, what's amusing is that the UNKewl one actually thinks anyone takes any of this backpedaling seriously. You posted truthfully about yourself, gave up too many clues, and are now trying to reverse course to throw the hounds off your trail, is all. Not that anyone really cares. If anyone did care, you'd be long gone and already outed from all the casinos by now.

    Like Coach said... you are constantly lying to the forums and you have admitted to it time and time again.

    How about doing one of your infamous "polls" to see if even one of the VCT members believes you are anything other than the gay, slight of height and build, 38 year old from Philly, that you have described yourself as, for years now.

    Those stupid polls are your department. How many have you run on MDawg, where invariably the majority of the people who respond post that they believe in MDawg.

    In MDawg We Trust!

    In the UNKewl one...not so much.

    So who is KJ? He was connected to Norm for a long time.

    One theory I have is KJ and T3 are one in the same. KJ would shoot own mother if he thought she played an advanced count. T3 count was so advanced nobody could understand what he was saying. Except Flash of course.

    It sure made Don S 3 books appear to be of little use other than kindling.

    Confused, is what he is. Mixed up.

    And stupid to think anyone ever believed him about much. Stupider to think that he did anything but make himself even less believable with this backpedaling stunt today.

    Moses you have never understood Don's position. Don is a proponent of simplicity.

    People like you, are confused because Don plays a level 2 count and plays over 100 index plays. THAT is the way he was taught the game from Lawrence Revere. The RPC (Revere Point Count) a level 2 count and 100+ index plays.

    But here is what you are missing. Don has stated that if he were learning Today he would learn a level 1 count like hi-lo or K-O and that he would learn and play 18 index plays. Want to guess what 18? The Illustrious 18 that of all the things he has done he is most known for. He doesn't switch because he can't "unlearn" what he already learned 50 years ago.

    And his reasoning why if he was learning today he would go simplicity with a level one count and 18 index plays is diminishing returns. To learn and play a higher level count is considerably more effort for very small, diminishing returns. With the index plays, since the top 18 (illustrious 18) captures 90% of ALL available gain from index play, learning more than that is diminishing returns and not worth the effort for minimal and diminishing returns. If you don't believe me ask him. I know because I have had that discussion with him several times.

    If you need further proof, while Don plays RPC (a level 2 count) because theat is what he learned so many years ago, the book is written in the language of hi-lo. All examples including the illustrious 18 are set to hi-lo numbers.

    I consider myself a disciple of Don's. Simplicity and diminishing returns. Don't waste time and effort on diminishing returns. Do things that matter.

    As for Mdawggy. A guy who claims to be a multi-millionaire, comped high end suites for months at a time, while winning whatever his escalating claim is that day, spent this beautiful Saturday in Vegas, sunny and 66 degrees, couped up in that comped room, fretting about, and clearly this guy is mega disturbed to discover what a real advantage player does to stay ahead of the casinos and casino industry personnel. And that is why I have been successful in playing Vegas for 12 years now.

    Fret away.
