Misc WizardOfVegas Forum is Dying

I'm afraid I know literally nothing about Statman other than there is such a person and he is dead to Wizard. A cursory examination of the Suspension List archive reveals to me that he had been Nuked before I had ever joined the site. Perhaps even before I fully realized that WizardofOdds had a corresponding Forum, but I can't say that 100%. I knew about the Forum for a few months prior to joining it.

I definitely agree with that credit to Wizard, the guy's got gamble in him, that's for sure! I don't know what you are basing your statement on Zuga upon, the only thing I can say is I presume I have had more direct contact with him than you have and I don't know much about him or his backstory. Just like you said, I can only HONESTLY judge Zuga by how he has treated me, and he has treated me about 5x better than I probably deserve to be treated.

 

Not my material...YOUR material. I'm just repeating your material. If you're using "material" as in material for comedy...there is nothing comedic about masturbating in front of helpless females. You walked it back and now say you didn't but writing about is just as creepy and sends a huge red flag. You should face your demons before they get you in trouble.

I'll give you that making it to the top of the rope is not something that every 50 year old can do. On the other hand, a fat 50 year old slob with strong arms could do it so it's not always a conclusive test of overall fitness.I will concede, though, that your hero seems to be fit. How else could could he keep up with those young hookers that he often has written about?

Does climbing a rope make him a real man in your eyes? How about riding a unicycle? Reverse climbing an escalator? How about the way he treats his wife on Valentine's Day that he has no problem sharing with the forum? Does that make him a man? Care to comment on that?

You hope Nathan does nothing to warrant a suspension? Are you really that hypocritical? Doing nothing wrong hasn't stopped you or that abomination from suspending him/her twice. You even bypassed the customary 3 days for a first offense (non offense in this case) and went straight to 7 days. The one that you call the "middle aged female" followed up with 14 days for a second non offense. You did the same thing to Kentry. Who is pulling your strings as if it isn't obvious?

 

Oh, please. Every last banned person on the suspension list is dead to manboy. Who has returned after being permanently banned? The only one I can think of is juicy jennie...the one Wizardofnothing has accused of being a prostitute. Any idea what his WOV handle was back when Jennie was active?

Now why did manboy rescind her ban after he met her on the strip and argued over $40? Maybe he wanted her to strip?

It's your obsession, not mine. You're the one who brings it up incessantly.

I wasn't speaking to his manliness, my point is there is no humiliation in getting smoked in rope-climbing by someone twenty years (or so) your junior in peak physical condition.

The Hell does his wife have to do with me? After I answer that, should I answer for the U.S. dropping the big one on Nagasaki and Hiroshima? What other things that have nothing to do with me would you like me to answer to?

I've already stated my reasons for banning Nathan and for the length, publicly stated both here and there. You're welcome to go back and reread them, if you like.

 

Again, the Hell does JuicieJennie, her Nuke or her reinstatement have to do with me? You're a Member in good standing, according to you, so if you really want to know, PM Wizard and ask him.

 

Not sure if you meant to post that here but nice hit,Wizardofodds1!

 

I just reread them per your invitation. You can state all the reasons you want but that doesn't make them legitimate. They make you look weak and ineffective. The followers know it too but as long as it's not them...

 

Was that the old lady's win playing next to you? Imgur strips all data out of submitted digital photos so we can't check that stuff out.
Guess we have to take the pic with a grain of salt.

 

Reply no- this was her chips

A grain of salt is way too much. The question is why did he suddenly return here and make two completely off topic posts in this thread? One can only speculate but his return does coincide with some less than flattering posts about Mission/Pavlov/Brandon James. Was WoN sent here to disrupt this thread by posting off topic...by hijacking? Is the plan to get posts removed to the graveyard...out of the public eye? Those posts have absolutely nothing to do with this thread and he and Mission know this. Nathan was suspended for less.

The photos of chips and slot wins are meaningless. With no claim of wins and no back, story those wins may all belong to someone else. In fact he just posted a photo on WOV of someone's win less than 2 hours through imgur using the name Wizardofodds1. He posts these photos all over the internet under various names including: Wizardofnothing on WOV, robsingerwho on Vegas Casino Talk and Wizardofodds1 on imgur...stealing Shackleford's handle to give himself credibility.

Remember, Wizardofnothing is the guy who claims to be on the road over 300 days a year jetsetting all around the country/world building his mass fortune playing slots while rubbing elbows with celebrities. It kind of makes me wonder why he would keep an apartment in NYC costing $13,500 a month. (WOV thread "About The Homeless" Oct 25, 2016). Does he have money? Is he rich? He could be a trust fund kid but one thing is certain. He does not make that kind of money playing slots. The real APs on the sites shun him.

What boggles the mind is that none of the geniuses, mathheads, brainiacs will challenge anything he posts. They have no problem going after others but this guy, this teller of tall tales is off limits...perhaps protected by the mods. The WOV myth busters leave him alone.

Both Mission/Pav/BJ and WoN are representing Michael Shackleford every time the post here. They'll never admit it but they don't need to...it's that obvious. How sad for Shackleford.

 

I don't know that this is exactly true. You are indicating a organized conspiracy type thing. I don't think that is the case. I certainly hope not. I would hope Wizard has more important things to do than organize what you are suggesting.

While Mission, Fisk, WoV, and I would include the likes of Axel and RS are definitely pro-Wizard and often jump into threads defending or supporting his reputation, isn't that their right? Unfortunately their pro-wizard status on every single issue, disqualifies all of them from any objective consideration of their opinions on any subject involving Wizard.

 

An interesting little story that occurred yesterday. I was contacted by a publisher who had read Mission's interview of me on WoV and wanted to discuss a possible book deal. I guess he wasn't aware that I had a book deal last year and actually paid a penalty to pull out of it this past fall, deciding it wasn't the right time and that I wasn't ready for that project yet.

But the fact that Mission's interview lead to this brief communication, intrigued me to go back and re-read the interview. Sadly, it took a little doing to even find the interview as it is sort of buried, unless you know what you are looking for, but I eventually found it.

While the interview is now 4 years old, there are a couple answers I would have answered slightly differently now, but overall I am very pleased with that interview. It allowed me to share some of my experiences and advice in one shot and I really think it may be useful to younger aspiring blackjack-type AP and AP's thinking about re-locating to Vegas. And that is one of my primary goals in participating on some of these sites (along with enjoyment). It is a shame the interview, is sort of buried.

But I did want to take this opportunity to thank Mission for that project.

 

WoV should have been WoN. (I didn't catch it within 5 minutes...)

 

Why the Hell do you always implicate me as having something to do with things that I have nothing to do with? I don't know why he chose this thread to post that in, and I should like to think he's not really concerned with what you have to say about me. He should have better things to do with his time than be concerned with what you have to say about me, and I'm sure he does. Maybe the pics are in response to the accusations of some who refer to him as an, 'Alleged AP.'

Do you think the AP's might just leave him alone because they know him to be an AP? Perhaps even worked with him on a few things? Have you never for a second thought that might just be a possibility?

I'm doing no such thing. I'm representing myself and myself alone and do not appear here in any official WoV capacity. Why do you think it is I generally do not attempt to answer for things that Wizard or other Administrators have done?

 

I should imagine that said, 'More important things,' might include the following items:

1.) Literally anything else.

2.) See #1

I respectfully disagree with your assertion that I am, 'Pro-Wizard,' on, 'Every single issue.' There are many issues that have invoked the Wizard that I have not spoken to here simply because I had nothing to do with them and do not have full information about them. Granted, I have probably not posted anything anti-Wizard here, but it's not like I jump to his defense against every single little thing that is said about him...especially the things I know nothing about.

 

I would also like to thank you for conducting it with me, and given that I am the one who conducted it with you, give you express permission to reproduce the content of that interview, provided it is verbatim, wherever you may like. It definitely represents the sort of information I am interested in learning but would not get firsthand as it has nothing to do with the area of Advantage Play that I have directly participated in.

However, my gambling knowledge is certainly more well-rounded for having done that with you.

 

Mission, just between you and me, do you believe Ace of Spades had a tendency to exaggerate ? Even occasionally make things up. Never mind the losing 30 hands of BJ in a row. I mean like missing out on a big drawing because he was in the bathroom ? Or always having some obscure ruling used against him. Or the misdeal that cause him to lose a BJ tournament . Not saying these things might not have happened to somebody sometime, but always AOS. He left in a huff when challenged.

 

Hey look, StrictlyAP is back to post his photos of other people's chip stacks again. Welshed on any bets lately?

 

Don't burst Mission's/Brandon James' bubble. He really thinks the guy's an AP. We don't want to upset him. He might start calling people "retards" again.

I wonder if Mission has ever been invited to the $13,500 a month apartment in NYC. Or was that a Section 8 flophouse in Camden?
