    Darkoz was cruising along on that thread exposing AP plays like a Victoria's Secret model on a runway with the most revealing lingerie.

    But then he screwed up by insinuating without evidence that BBB had edited one of his posts, which was irrelevant to the fact that he had free reign to out AP's secrets despite BBB's and AP's outcries. It turned into a feud between him and BBB and she used it as a smokescreen to shut him down, temporarily at least. Darkoz overplayed his hands.

    Darkoz has always been a little sensitive about people altering his posts. Just another paranoid WoVer or someone with a legitimate beef? I'll leave that for others to decide.

    Back in April of 2016 Darkoz posted about a play at the Plaza. They called it Tax Day Promotion and it ran on April 18th. Everyone who won a taxable jackpot over $1200 was given the amount of the tax in free play. There's something called "flagging a post" on WoV where if enough members flag...the post disappears. It was supposed to be for inappropriate material but was immediately misused by the smug Aps who, as always, felt entitlement.

    A livid Wizard brought the post back and posted the following: "What I speculate is selfish advantage players teamed up to flag it off the site. In fact, because of this sabotage I will be analyzing it and drawing even more attention to it."

    After the culprits were discovered they were given suspensions for misuse and abuse. Want to guess who they were? Ringleader AxelWolf of course and pals djatc, Wizardofnothing and RS. The little boys who still think it's their personal forum...who think they're more important than anyone else, who use and laugh at Wizard behind his back, who use Bitch Bum Blabs to do their dirty work and then throw her crumbs.

    Wizard has posted more plays and promos than probably everyone else combined. Isn't it curious that the boys never complain when he does it?

    The posting boycott of WoV by some "APs" is still going on. No one has shown any interest in it but it's still in force...sort of. Are these deluded rejects having any effect on the site? Are they affecting the owners' bottom line or are they just pouting like a bunch of babies who didn't get their own way. No, no and a big yes.

    As we contemplate why jet setting, trailblazing, living large APs would waste precious time on a forum when they could be making money in casinos (those abandoned credits aren't going to cash themselves in) let's take a look at the commitments that some have made.

    Rigondeaux: Started the thread "Why You Should Leave Now." In the first post he said "Several others have jumped ship already. Do the right thing and join us." He went on to post 6 more times and has logged on faithfully every day since.

    AxelWolf: "I too am going to abstain from posting for a while." See how he leaves the door open to return to his beloved "Mike's house?" He made another post 8 minutes after that and has logged on faithfully every day since.

    PokerGrinder the lost little boy from Canada: "I'm logging off and I'm not sure when/if I'll be back." He then made another post disclosing darkoz's real name. He has logged on faithfully every day since.

    Tough guy Boz: Said he was leaving...left and has not logged on since. So the only guy to make and keep a commitment is not even an AP.

    Time to out some AP moves. Here are some of the more tried and true moves....okay I'll call them 'plays.'

    Take the batteries from the remote in the room. Take towels, tissues and toilet paper. Distract the housekeeper and take what you can from her cart.

    From the food court...load up on packets of salt, pepper, sugar ketchup, and mustard.

    From the buffet...bags, bags, bags. Bring lots of big, sturdy bags. The possibilities are endless.

    Remember...it's not stealing if no one knows.

    #AP forever!

    To Axel's Credit, he didn't post after that day. Just visited without talking. He's tbe number 2 Poster and hasn't posted since January 12th, despite logging in daily/constantly. That's saying he's actually taking a stand. It shows he's taking it seriously.

    Axel's credit? Not the way others see it. You are a very forgiving person, Kentry....considering all the things he said about you...all the stupid jokes he made at your expense while the crooked mods sat on their hands.

    I don't see that guy take anything seriously. No...he backed himself into a corner with his ill thought out temper tantrum/boycott and now has to figure a way to get back to Mike's house while saving face at the same time.

    Maybe he'll take a limo to Mike's house. You know...one of the limos that the casinos have at his beck and call. Maybe stop at a burger joint along the way. After all...he claims the casinos pay for those too. And MDawg is the bullshit artist? Too funny!

    Thank you for the compliment. :) Sure I'm permanently banned there for doing something that many other people admitted they did, and I even remembered asking why I was getting so much vitriol for merely having a bad run on a Casino Trip, but I shouldn't have admitted that I was playing with money meant for other things.

    The posting boycott by the misfit APs continues at WoV. The claim is that 15 people have stopped posting because darkoz posted about a 'play.' The little boys threw hissy fits over the play that's not really a play..but could be a play. A play that's over but might not be over....sort of over...kind of over.

    WoV now boasts 18, 535 total members. They lost 15. Can anyone name these 15 members? How about 5? Can anyone name 5 boycotting members? Didn't think so. They are already forgotten by the fickle followers of Herr DICKtator.

    It must be torture for AxelWolf and PokerGrinder as the try to rectify their ill advised decision. Life without Mike's house...life without Mike. What's an AP to do? It's day 10 of the boycott and they're having more withdrawal symptoms than DrunkDear trying to stay off the booze. No one supporting them...no one missing them...no one asking them to return.

    What do the math geeks call these misguided little boys? Oh yeah...a small sample size.

    Who would have thought that Boz would be the one to keep his word? He said he was boycotting WOV on January 12. It is now January 26, and he actually NEVER came back! The leading person urging people to leave WOV? Rigondeaux... And Rigondeaux came back and even posted many times since he urged the WOV Boycott. What a hypocrite Rigondeaux comes across. Kudos for Boz for showing a steel backbone, steel reserve, steel integrity, and steel principles! Didn't know Boz had it in him!

    I'm not at all surprised that Boz would stick to his guns on this. And I doubt he is having the withdrawal symptoms that the others are struggling with. (Isn't he banned for 1 year at DT?) I wouldn't be throwing him a parade or even giving him pat him on the back though. The inexcusable, vile way that he treats people is what really defines him.

    In other WoV happenings...how about that "Narcissist Personality Quiz"? The thread comes with a link to a test to see just how narcissistic you are. Does anyone else think that was started as a shot at Wizard? Had to be right? Notice he's steering real clear of that one. Narcissistic is just the tip of the iceberg with that guy.

    Here's another one for the 'you just can't make this up' category. Brand new WoV member jamesantony7221 has started a thread selling Nembutal Phenobarbital. He calls it the "peaceful suicide pill" and goes on to list a half dozen or so reasons to end one's life.

    Once one of the lazy, incompetent mods sees the post this new member's name will forever be in red...unable to ever post again. Oh never fear...he will be forever be counted as a member there. How do you think they got 18,000 members?

    Once banned, a click on his name will reveal that jamesantony has not started any threads or made any posts. Honesty was never a big priority over there. How embarrassing for Sad Shack...the "man of integrity" and how embarrassing for the people that paid $2 million for that garbage.

    A lot of these spammers come from England. I wonder if DrunkDear knows any of them.

    I just had an interesting interaction over there -- Shackleford suspended me for three days for "hijacking," which he knows means I won't bother posting there again.

    He started some thread about a parlay someone played and got shorted odds, and I asked why nobody had spoken up about how stupid it was to play this kind of parlay in the first place. So Michael99000 took a shot at my credentials. I responded that I had no idea what my credentials had to do with playing parlays being dumb unless one of two criteria were met, then I listed my credentials. Well, the first part of the post directly referenced the subject matter. My credentials-listing did not, but it was a response to Michael 99000, who was not suspended.

    Anyway, I'm done over there. I was doing them a favor, as they are unbelievably naïve regarding sports betting. The only one who knew his stuff was Boz (and Boz really does).

    I don't get how Shackleford can call it "hijacking" when I addressed the subject in the first line. Well, that's not true. I get it. Shackleford asked a math question regarding a really stupid gambling play and felt bad that someone called him out on it. He can do whatever he wants. LOL. When it comes to sports gambling, he's at sea. Nobody should be playing parlays like that. It's dumb-as-a-rock stuff. So that leaves one with the question, "Why are they allowing dumb-as-a-rock" stuff to go without criticism? Unless they are not in the players' corner.

    You didn't deserve to get a three day Suspension for that. Also note how Wizard only quoted the very first half sentence/first sentence of your post when he suspended you for hijacking. You did absolutely nothing wrong and in fact your posts were very insightful and knowledgeable. I myself got a two week Suspension for talking about Alimony twice in a thread about a guy trying to hide his Jackpot. Two other people brought up Alimony first and I responded to both of them, hence talking about Alimony twice. And I was suspended for two werks after responding to two different people who brought it up first. Still mad about that. So I know how it feels to be the recipent of an unfair Suspension..:/ So sorry you are unfairly Suspended. :/

    What everyone has to understand is that, in the wacky world of Weak Wizard, hijacking is code. Code for you disagree with them...code for you got the better of them or simply code for you rocked the boat and they don't like you. How dare you not follow in lockstep! Actual hijacking has nothing to do with it.

    Vaguely defined, unevenly enforced and grossly abused...the phony charge of hijacking is one of Wizard/Sad Shack's tools to "shame" people and satisfy his massive but oh so fragile ego. He has said since day one that he enjoys shaming people just as he enjoys sitting for hours watching bugs flying into the zapper and getting fried. I shudder to think what else he's in to. The brainwashed mods happily follow suit as they do their master's bidding.

    Most of what these societal misfits call hijacking is just normal flowing conversation. If one were to meet a friend for coffee... would he scream hijacking every time someone changed the subject? I think not. Hey Joe..we were talking about football. How dare you bring up baseball. Most every thread in every forum on the internet gets hijacked...it has to happen. It can't not happen.

    Imagine what it would be like with the censorship imposed by these dysfunctional crietons. If you don't want to be 'shamed' on WoV...don't think for yourself and don't disagree with the boys or the mods. You see...when they don't understand something, these insecure types don't want to learn. They don't want to admit that they don't know everything. No, they just sweep it under the rug and suspend.

    LOL. Freddy, I get that. I actually think it was a set up with Michael990000 posting a non sequitur attack response to me that wouldn't be labeled a hijack. That was too obvious. Shackleford can do whatever he wants. It's his site. But I'll have a couple little surprises for him down the road. I own a few sites, too.

    Here's what I do not get, strictly from a gambling perspective. Betting parlays is, in 99% of the cases, a mathematically bad thing. I can tell you when it isn't, but I'll save that for when I hold Shackleford up as a bad teacher of practical gambling. And the fact that it is almost always bad is not even debatable. So Shackleford nonchalantly posting a parlay wager and never bringing up what a bad/lazy wager it likely is, and then posting his own parlay, which is also a bad/lazy wager, undermines his entire persona. It highlights what a point man he is for offshore casinos as opposed to "math expert" helping players.

    I'm glad he exposed himself so blatantly, but I'm surprised that he did. I guess there are so few knowledgeable sports bettors at WoV that how dumb this kind of thing is just hasn't been part of the site's DNA. It's mindblowing, really.
