Misc WizardOfVegas Forum is Dying

IIRC terapined lives in an RV that he continuously moves from one interesting spot to another.

I applaud him for doing so: what better way for a Dead-Head to spend their Golden Years?

"Not all who wander are lost."

 

Thanks. Just paid my respects to B.B. King today. Deep in the Delta listening to the Blues. My biggest complaint about the Dead, not enough Blues.
542 pages of a forum dying started 10 years ago. Fascinating. Complaining that the Wizard doesn't care about the forum. lol. Of course he doesn't care. Would you???????????
Hmm. Maybe everybody here would. 540 pages proves it.
Those over here care more about the forum then actual members. 10 years. 540 pages.
I've posted on a lot of forums but I've never seen a forum obsessed with another forum. Fascinating.
I post a lot on Reddit these days but under a different handle
Thanks for following me on FB
I'd follow you back but not sure who you are
The Wizard?

 

I actually follow the guy on FB and find him fascinating. You can easily spend an hour or more looking at some great photos and reading the posts that go with them. You might even get used to his grizzled old mug.

 

T.Pined isn’t a Deadhead. Deadheads are open minded and far from stubborn.

From what I’ve been told T.Pined worked some low level repetitive job all his life and his mind boggles and can’t relate to anyone who ever earned more than $50,000 a year.

A poseur Deadhead.

He’s an insult to the free wheeling live and let live Dead community.

 

I just don't believe your gambling stories
That's all
Sad you take offense to that and have to insult back.
Weird
I don't believe hardly anything on forums
That's just the way it is
I just popped in for fun
I don't really post at WOV anymore and this is the last one here.

A Deadhead is just somebody that's likes Grateful Dead music. That's it.

Peace
Ed

 

There he goes again. Number one WoV braggart, SOOPOOP, started a thread to brag that he's buying a house...like no one else has ever done that. He couldn't mention it in the Moving thread, couldn't mention it in the Miscellaneous thread...oh no, he's too important and needs his own thread. Never mind that the forum rules say to keep it about Vegas and gambling. Isn't that what "Mike" says? Does that not apply to "Mike's" inner circle? He just can't help himself just as he can't help gambling on anything under the sun.


Mr. POOP proudly tells the forum that the house is in The Villages in Florida. Yuck. I'd rather live in West Las Vegas. He's got it all figured out and apparently "wifey" is on board. She's a dentist you know. The good doctor doesn't stop there. He's on a roll.

He just posted in another brag thread that he started over ten years ago...the Stock Portfolio thread. He has a portfolio you know. How do we know? The same way we know about his dentist wife, smartest kids, best vacations and best investments to name a few. He posts it over and over and over. In this post he brags about making 333% on a pension investment.

Then he ends the post with a cheap shot at MDawg right out of the blue. Classy.

 

I think everything over at WoV is fake. The card counting, the edge sorting, the advantage play, the comp arbitrage... I forgot they all have 49,000 poker win bracelets. WoVers are all gatrillionaires. They just post stuff to keep the peasants entertained.

 

RV and bicycle is a hell of a way to spell Gulfstream and Bugatti.

 

That's what we do here, in this thread particularly, insult back and forth.

 

Let's take a look at a few of these *cough* successful people. Darkoz claims to have made $50K a month in Hollywood editing film. One day technology caught up to him and he lost his job. Next thing you know...he's broke, homeless and living on the streets of New York. He takes a bus to Atlantic City with 3 cents in his pocket and gets $10 free play after applying for a player's card. He turns that into $20K a week by recruiting smelly, homeless, mentally ill boardwalk bums to get players cards and give them to him.

This is a guy who goes around looking for people to sue. This is a guy who doesn't even own a car. What kind of decision making skills entail going broke overnight after making $50K a month?

Then we have AxelWolf...always on a "play" as he calls it. What exactly is a play? Is it looking for credits left in a machine? Abandoned tickets to cash in? How about standing behind old ladies at machines trying to intimidate them into leaving so he can do a "play" or call in a friend?

Here's a guy who hates Vegas, hates Nevada and everything that goes with it. What kind of decision making has a guy spending over 30 years living in a place he hates? No wonder he hits the bottle. Just another braggart....cars, truck, wife. He's even mentioned his pecker on three different forums. I think it's up to 7 inches now.

What's funny is that these guys always seem to have someone who'll vouch for them. Never met but they post a lot so it must be true.

One more. The guy who starts many posts with "I'm in my umpteenth year playing blackjack for a living." Beating the heck out of the casinos. Playing "under the radar" and winning. He's won cars, contests, large payouts, lawsuits and sports bets...all under the radar.

No matter how big Vegas is...they know you after a few months. There is no under the radar. If someone is under the radar it simply means they are not a threat to the casino. Is anyone making money at casinos? Sure...but they are not on forums 18 hours a day talking about it. They are actually in the casinos plying their trade. Most of the successful players have gone on to writing books or even working for casinos. That's because that's where the money is...not nickel and diming the casinos.

Case in point: Out of the over 25,000 members claimed by WoV the second top poster is AxelWolf. Coming in at number 10 is Darkoz. I think that tells us all we need to know.

 

A couple of cheery anecdotes to tie into the post above. I generally steer clear of this fray because it's stupid.

About five years ago, Shackleford was touting his sports betting "parlay calculator," which enabled a gambler to precisely calculate paybacks. I made hellacious fun of the whole idea, because it's bottom-line stupid with a big dose of lazy. Eventually my attitude, mouth, and truthfulness got me canned from the site, but here we are, five years later, and offshore sports books are GIVING parlay calculators to people so they can use them. Gee, I wonder why. LOL.

Axelwolf, he of the alleged expertise and 30 years of LV living (as opposed to my 100 days each year for 20+ years) corrected me on VCT regarding some video poker machines I mentioned being where for how much in the 90's. I immediately accepted his correction because I assumed he was right, since I play about 40 hours of video poker a year (maybe 50 those years I was in LV), and Axelwolf probably plays 20 times that and is up on all that stuff. Then I happen to stumble upon an old American Casino Guide regarding the subject for which he corrected me. LOL. Turns out I had the details right and Axelwolf was wrong. Will wonders never cease?

Finally, what you say about anonymity is correct, freddy. As someone who spent decades in LV showing my face in 20 sports books a week, I can tell you that LV is actually an intimate place. It's like Cheers -- everybody knows your business, if not your name. And usually they know your name. It's why so many blackjack players have retired in the last decade -- you just can't function. But nothing prevents folks from making up fairytales online, so that's what you get.

 

Freddy, freddy, freddy. Not in my anything -teenth, year. This is year 21. Get it right.

Freddy, could you quote where I EVER said anything about "flying under the radar"? THAT is NOT what I do and have done for 2 decades. I identify and play limits and a style that are better tolerated by casinos and pit people. If you don't know the difference between that and "flying under the radar", well that is why I am me, writing about what I do, and you are you, writing about other people.

 

The executive summary:

 

What's under the RADAR? These netizens are delulu. Executive managers at some houses know most everyone and yes.. they have one or two responsibilities. Go on down the line and most 100% of staff knows everyone. It's what I think is so incredibly fake about the MIT bros. supposed story.

 

Delusions of grandeur. Narcissistic personality disorder. It's almost like these disorders trickle down from the self proclaimed DICKtator who runs that has been forum. Perfect example.

 

Atta boy KJ, you tell 'em what's what.

The hound is just jealous...and he has a man-crush on you.

 

The guy is a gambling forums (several) internet troll. End of story. Mdawg isn't even his first handle as a troll. This is at least his second round. He may be wealthy as he claims, but probably not as wealthy as he claims (Donald Trump syndrome). Several AP's believe he is only associated with someone really wealthy. I don't really know or care about that.

Either way, he thought that spreading cash and chips out on a bed in a casino suite, somehow proved he won and has a winning system or whatever he claims. It in no way does. He proves he has some cash and chips. Nothing more. You prove you are a real winning player by knowing real advantage play techniques that allow you to flip the advantage from casino to play. He has NEVER demonstrated anything like that.

But what I do know is that he is NOT the winning player he claims. Nothing he has EVER said or talks about explains how he wins almost every session and that casinos allow this in the heavily watched higher limit areas. I know a little bit about identifying and playing within casinos tolerance or comfort levels and what this guy claims is pure fantasy. I also know that "betting into hot streaks" or claiming you are rainman with total recall of all cards is just pure nonsense.

Mdawg hates me because I was one of many real players, real AP's that dared call out his story as nonsense. And his attacks of me degenerating into all the name calling and made up comments of homelessness and homophobic attacks, only proves it.
