Let's be real, Ivey is not the real AP. He was a well known degen craps player away from the poker table, and some real pros used his image and possibly bankroll to get big money down and socially engineer games where they would have difficulty otherwise doing so.

Tell you what novicegambler, you are a man looking for education, so here is a good offer for you because they say if you teach a man to fish he can feed his family for a lifetime.

1) Pay me $5000.00 in "Cash in advance" to cover 5 days of Gambling.
2) I will work with you for 5 days, teaching you my methods in Person the absolute right way.
3) all the Gambling for the 5 days will go to your Pocket up to the amount of 5000.00
Then we split 50/50
4) after the five days you will be fully educated to make a living for the lifetime Utilizing my methods.

Deal? or No Deal?



Wow, "Ivey?" was banned for 473 years for "No free advertising" & other violations! I reckon that he wanted to teach SORTING at that time for a price, but nobody believed him, except for AxelWolf who always gets an open mind for new stuff---such as SORTING at that time.

I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

Seems like the casino isn't being ethical not paying up like you have to bet was promised at one point by the casino. No do overs right. When the casino acts, it's their responsibility, not the player, and the casino was the one acting so can't be cheating by the player. The casino knows this and has no right to withhold winnings in the first place. Ducking dumb asses letting the table stay open for so long running up his wins knowing it's Phil Ivy and not Joe Blow getting luckn.

Just for the record...varmenti publicly threatened to take down this website with DOS attacks if he were nuked. So Mission banned him for 473 years.

Carry on.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

That's absolutely right, and long after I am dead, should WoV still exist, I expect that the Administrative team unsuspend Varmenti at that time.

Why? So he can explain how his system went bust eventually, and how he is now working the $50 a night karaoke contest circuit.

His poor cats have been downgraded from eating Fancy Feast and rolling in c-notes, to eating trash can fish bones and rolling in change in the back of his rusted karaoke tour van.
♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

A little while back I emailed him through facebook. I have his actual personal facebook and his girlfriends (not hard to figure out btw)
and he never responded. He has been somewhat active on FB but has never made a single gambling reference on that one.
