lol wow. Looks like the casinos want to confuse the wizard of odds with one of their henchmen. I would imagine there's some kind of copy right or trademark violations here?

...Who knew. The Wizard is apparently a comcast fan.

Wow is right! What the hell?
I don't follow AC news very much.
Are the reviews accurate, authentic? Or dated?
Or nonsense? They talking about "The Wiz"?
The more I read, the less I desire
To visit AC. That makes me sad,
Never been there.
Total rewards offered to fly me up there
And comp me a long weekend,
a year or so ago.
Now I wish I had gone.
Probably best I didn't.....
I haven't lost any money there.

I started a thread titled Wizard of Odds - Atlantic City Version on August 21, 2010. It was in TV Atlantic Magazine back then. I think it's the same publication with a different name. It's available for free on the Boardwalk. I'm not sure if it's been determined which Wizard came first.

I note that "our" Wiz uses a copyright emblem: one would assume that MS registered "Wizard of Odds" as a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

And the Ceasers properties did OK in reviews
And If I go, it will probably be courtesy of them.

It's usually all fluff with this guy. There's never anything substantial to do with actual gambling. The guy definitely doesn't do any heavy lifting.

There you go again. I was talking about the Wizard of Odds in Atlantic City. I wasn't talking about you. I do not insult anyone ever on an anonymous forum. That's not me. It's not always about you. I will not be suspended for this no matter who you tell. Others have tried and failed to get me suspended. Life goes on. Deal with it.

Yeah, I think there's a lawsuit wanting to be filed (assuming there's a copyright infringement/trademark violation). Can't see Mike putting up with this guy shilling for AC casinos using his good name. But since 1BB says the guy's been around a while, maybe Mike's aware of him and we just don't know what, if anything's being done in that direction.

A few times a year my wife and I attend Patriots games with some friends. One friend informed us that he could no longer attend. When I asked him why he said it was because watching the huddles made him nervous. You see, he was sure that those guys in that circle were all talking about him. :-)

Every scruffy low-rent racetrack in America from Finger Lakes to Pomona Fairgrounds and Tampa Bay Downs to Portland Meadows and all points in between has had a cheesy tout sheet peddler set up in a little booth calling themselves "The Wizard" for at least half a century, and probably a lot longer than that. I think even the Racing Form sells a tout "service" they call something like "Wizards Selections" or somesuch. But the complete phrase "Wizard of Odds" does seem significantly more specific than that, even if the superficial appearance of that thing does resemble one of those smudgy poorly laid-out semi-literate racing tout sheets.

I swear that some here are obsessed with post count but not me and I don't think you are either. When I have something to say I say it. It's that simple.

I certainly don't want 2 user names. One day I couldn't log in and for three weeks tried everything. I followed all the directions, sent all the emails and asked anyone who would listen to help me. Ask me how that worked out.

I have never tried to log back into the first account and assume that it is inactive. I'm far from the only one here with more than one user name although I don't know the circumstances of any the others. You can read my first five posts as 1BB. They deal with this.

Any greens out there want to fix this and consolidate both accounts? Take your time, it's only been 3 years and 9 months!

I noticed that 2F was concerned about my post count. He mentioned my occasional double posts a few times. I don't know why or how it does that. I notice it happens when the site is lagging badly. Mabey I hit the send button 2 time's thinking I missed it the first time, since nothing happens.

I don't care about number of posts. Like Bob, I also have tons of threads blocked. If I wanted to, I believe I could certainly reach the top of the list. And keep it gaming and Las Vegas related, especially since I live in LV and frequent casinos. It would probably be easy If I posted new threads with casino pictures, trip reports, news stories etc etc.

I have been a passenger traveling for 12+ hour's (GF has to stop often) over the last few days I certainly could've belted our 20x more than my usual number of posts.


Never was it my intentions to have so many posts. I would certainly hate to be the number one forum poster.

If the connection is bad and it's taking forever to "post" your post sometimes people hit then"post" button a few times before the page switches back to the thread, and this can cause it to submit more than one post.

I have this problem a lot on forums when in places with cruddy Internet. Or sometimes on my phone if I might run against the "post button" (touchscreen) a few times without realizing it.

Yes, if you hit send twice when it's lagging you'll usually double post as Gandler mentioned. Once I realized this, I've avoided hitting "send" again.

There was no Wizard of Odds column in the July 9th edition of Atlantic City Weekly magazine. I think he writes every other week. We just spent a long weekend on the Boardwalk and I made sure to bring home the latest copy copy of this free magazine.

There is someone worth reading in the latest issue. I believe some here are familiar with John Grochowski. His columns have been appearing for some time. I'm not sure if he's syndicated or if he writes these particular pieces exclusively for them. He has two columns in this latest issue, one of which deals with the proposed lowering of the $1200 threshold for W-2Gs on slot wins. Good stuff.
