Baccarat Winning Session Record: 6 out of 6 & 1 out of 1 Mini Session
Quote: Marcusclark66"EXTRA NOTE: Almost gave up and left a $1,500.00 loser, but MDAWG is to credit and receive a huge hug and high five for his ‘words of wisdom’ and other private things that have been absorbed from the great one! Public thanks and huge appreciation to the Great MDawg!"
So you wanted to stop doing some -EV gambling but your hero convinced you to keep -EV gambling.
Yeah, made up stories about winning all the time aren't at all dangerous.
A couple of players that I remembered vaguely from the past when I was playing at public tables showed up. They asked politely to play at my Reserved table.
"We won't bet against you, we'll just follow whatever you do."
THEN each time I chose the hand they kept referring to the "same good looking" winner. And we did. Keep winning.
And that was that.
I was barely betting. They were betting hard. Those two clocked just under +$100K at my table. They actually kept tossing me chips as tips that I just accepted and put next to my own bets, for the dealer. I don't need charity but showering me with lucky chips - hey I don't have a problem with that.
+24000 for me.
Ole!

Let's revue forum rules.
You are allowed to say you don't believe a poster. However, you can't call him a liar, as that would be a personal insult. Saying a story is "made up" is essentially saying the poster is lying.
That said, consider this a warning to respect the rule against personal insults.
I don't believe MDawg.
Costello: Are you calling him a liar?
Certainly not! That would be an insult!
Costello: Are you saying that he's delusional?
Certainly not. That would also be an insult.
Costello: What if he is delusional?
Then calling him delusional would be an insult because he doesn't know he's delusional.
Costello: But what if he knows he's delusional?
Well, then it's not an insult to call someone delusional if they know they are delusional, unless they don't want other people to know they're delusional, in which case, they may pretend to not know they're delusional, so calling them delusional becomes an insult.
Costello: But if they pretend to not know they are delusional when they know they are delusional, isn't that lying?
Calling someone else a liar is against the rules. Actually lying is not. So it's okay to lie about knowing whether you are or aren't delusional.
Costello: If you say that someone who is delusional and knows they're delusional isn't delusional, then isn't that lying about them?
Lying about them is better than calling them a liar.
Costello: If I say I don't believe them, but don't call them a liar, isn't that another way of saying that I may be delusional because I don't believe them?
It's okay to be delusional as long as you don't insult them.
Costello: I get that. But if I'm right about them, and I say I believe they are not delusional when they are, isn't that lying?
Lying is fine, as long as you don't insult anyone.
Costello: But if I call myself delusional, I'm insulting myself.
Well, just keep the truth to yourself. Otherwise you're calling yourself a liar, and that's a suspending offense.
Costello: I'm not calling myself a liar. I'm just saying that I don't believe myself.
Then there's no problem, is there?

See what it brings out?
I guess it's back to do other things for me.
Quote: redietzWith some apologies to "Who's on First?"
I don't believe MDawg.
FWIW.....
I read through that post in the context that it was made. I see that one member thinks it's trolling, so I'll give my opinion.......
I THINK that it was a reasonable and well written post. It properly addressed the rules as defined by Wizard. Being at this point in this thread, it WAS on topic.
Was it an insult, of itself? I assert definitely not.
Was it trolling? Borderline and tending towards not. I would not and will not suspend for it. Indeed I liked the post.
BUT I believe that Wizard would disapprove of that post and maybe this one. I discourage Wizard from penalising the post while STRONGLY suggesting that Redietz has made his point and should desist from posting similar again.
Whether MDawgs posts are true and fair representations is totally moot. As Redietz said. There is no rule against lying or as I might say.,. Selectively reporting.
PS I personally believe little in this thread
"Why do others trust you more than you do yourself?"
She's right though - while certainly there are sessions where I have won 50 - 150K, sometimes I am having such a good time winning that I forget to bet big. I need to fine tune myself to press more when things are really happening.
Wasn't feeling my best and I was down a few times, but managed to eke out a small win.

One casino, fortunately, bans all smoking in its high limit area.
Second hand smoke gets to you especially if you're used to fresh, clean air.

The players who mirrored my action on Day 85 showed up again, asked permission to play at my table, permission granted - this time were playing very small. Odd. I ended up winning more than they did.

If you’ve followed I suffered from a little cold the past few days, which I attributed initially to throat irritation from second hand smoke. I don’t allow smoking at my tables – never have, even before they were Reserved private ones. However, at some casinos even Reserved tables are right out there with public ones and smoking is sometimes rampant in the area. I’m very health conscious and no amount of money is worth day in day out exposure to cigarettes. A few weeks here and there - fine! but moving onto the casino floor full time, I don't think I could justify it until they ban smoking.
Quote: MDawgTuttigym, you're late to this party, I've already been verified through and through, more so than any WOV member in the history of WOV.

Verify yourself? No. You presented yourself to the Wizard and played a winning session. That was the extent of your 'verification.'Quote: MDawgI was paid $2000. for my time, to verify myself.
How much are you willing to pay.
So far we have had evidence that you are a high rolling player, that you have stayed in a Vegas hotel., and that you have some of the trappings of wealth. Your NDA with the wizard was so tight that he has not even revealed whether you gave him your identity. He has not revealed whether you presented him with any evidence of skill or advantage.
If you want to call yourself 'verified' then you need to loosen up that NDA and have Wizard say something like...
"The Member Mdawg identified himself to me and showed me that he has a way of beating baccarat consistently and the nature of his secret is such that he has made the game +ev. Obviously I cannot reveal that secret."
or maybe
"The Member MDawg has satisfied me that he always wins at Baccarat and probably always will because he can read the trends"
Wizard has said neither. not even close.
Constantly throwing out the challenge (NOT A QUOTE) "I'm richer than you are and if you want to challenge me, pay me" proves one thing to me. But I won't say what it proves because MDawg would be insulted.
DarkOz went so far as to say:
Quote: darkozQuote: WizardI did not want to post this before the challenge, but here is how I would have played it.
- Make 56 $200 bets on the Banker and one $205 bet on the Player. The one $205 on Player to comply with the rule against flat betting and not always betting the same way.
- If I'm up after step 1, quit.
- If I'm not up after step 1, go into a Martingale until I'm up or lose the full $8,000.
I estimate my probability of success at 98%.
This is what Axel and a few others were concerned about and felt I was being conned.
The fact that MDawg lived up to the spirit of the challenge instead of just finding an advantage angle such as described speaks volumes.
Anyway why don’t you post three years of WIN statements from the casinos the way I have.
You and the rest of the WOV membership could spend their entire lives and the combined lifetimes of every WOV member combined and not come up with as many verified by Wizard (by viewing winning casino checks) sessions in which I have won over 100K, and yes, that’s a Challenge. Book it! if you dare.
I contend that I am light years beyond anyone here, as far as heavy duty winning sessions. If you want to disbelieve that the sum of all that winning in such a short period of time doesn’t result in a winning trip, I suppose you’ll just have to wait until the end of the year when I may show the winning WIN statements privately to someone.
Quote: MDawgI shared privately with the Wizard additional checks issued to me by the casinos, dating from the very end of May 2021, to end of June 2021, totaling approximately $250K (where all but approx. 100K was memo marked as "verified win" or "verified chips" - the remaining 100K had no memo on the check(s) at all), and these are besides the ones I shared with the Wizard before for the period March to May 2021.
The Wizard stated that he had no objection to my posting the above since it is true. Stated that he will not be verifying images at the forum any longer though.
The prior winning checks, that the Wizard did post verifications about at the forum in this thread, totaled some $260K, so that's a half million in winning checks issued to me for verified wins in the past few months, notwithstanding cashed chips and those converted to straight cash.
I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but casinos will not issue checks other than for VERIFIED WINNINGS or return of front money cashier's check money. I am a credit line player only - no front money - so in my case, every penny of checks issued to me represents a WIN.
Quote: MDawgI was paid $2000. for my time, to verify myself.
How much are you willing to pay.
The IRS won't pay you a dime "for your time." So the IRS was NOT the "verifying" party? I also wondered if with all these posted large wins, has any of the casinos where the "action" took place provided you with some form of 1099? Just askin'
tuttigym
Sorry, but when you go on like this about what might be supplied to the player by way of IRS reporting forms for table game WINS, it makes me think that you have not only never played Baccarat or Blackjack, but also never won at either game, because if you had – you would know more about this.
Quote: MDawgA 1099? As you must know, no 1099s are issued for table games. Anyway, I think you’re pretty late to this party. My suggestion is that you go back and re-read this entire thread when you have some time. The verifications are all there, including what casinos do issue to table game players.
You are correct about Baccarat, but I have indulged in "21." Never won much though. Just not my gaming thing.
Many thanks for the posted "verifications" above it saved me much valuable time from reading almost 600 pages of posts on this thread. Very considerate.
The information above brings to mind a question that maybe the Mr. W. can answer: When a casino entity files their corporate federal tax returns which show large payouts to patrons as "wins" which is part of the cost of doing business, aren't the casinos obligated to show copies of those checks to the IRS? Those $$$ dispersed go against the bottom line of the casino and would be, I imagine, deductible against any tax liability. These are rhetorical questions that would require very specific knowledge of the inner workings of the IRS, so Mr. W, you really do not have to answer.
tuttigym
And then also one random table game session of mine was witnessed, which ended in a win and play that was consistent with the sort of play I have reported in other sessions.
You are GREAT! Acknowledged by some and challenged by others.
The challenge should just be viewed IMO and thatt of many I ran all this by, as admiration mixed with jealousy.

I must still be under the weather, as I was ahead 56,000 and then in one shoe dumped it all to lose 34,000 which is quite a swing.
Been somewhat off from a cold past few days. My wife actually suggested that I not play that day. She was right. She realized that I wasn't 100%, but I had been winning past few days prior to this session even while sick.

I am pretty sure that and this statement will upset many people here. I'm sorry if it does.
You have helped me score many thousands of dollars as I have outlined and also gave me a working bankroll without taking any funds from our family revenue or savings.
True I work in a casino for many years but it is no different than working, say at a bicycle shop and then taking the transition into mastering the many skills of say mountain biking or competition riding of some type. I had zero clue until I read your stuff and you helped ne,

Can a novice player just sit down and make $1000 the first night? No practice. No or limited knowledge.
The reason I ask is casino BSers are starting to give me a complex. It seems like everyone is making "easy" money but me. I work my butt off to pay some bills.
My question for you is, do you believe if you fully explained what you do that other people would emulate it and casinos would put an end to it?
You still are the one that showed me the pathway.

The thing with blackjack is that no matter how much you make at it, you are always in danger of having the spigot closed off. Casinos view blackjack as a game of skill, and win too much at it, too consistently, and they will give you the boot. Been there.
Baccarat is viewed as a game of chance, and no one gets banned from it unless cheating. So, if you may figure out a way to win consistently at Baccarat, you're going to have a much greater casino shelf life than any blackjack winner.
I haven't lost any money in casinos either though - lifetime winner.

Quote: MDawgAs far as new money, old money...eh, not necessarily. While it may be true that when a person gets into luxury watches first probably all he knows about is Rolex, and then later learns and gets into the other brands, there are plenty of new money people who are into Pateks, such as for example Ed Sheehan is a real Patek hound (now, whether he started with Rolex and built up to Patek, I don't know), and then all the richest rappers these days are into Richard Mille.
(Richard Mille was the brand of watch stolen during that Beverly Hills robbery a month or so ago.)
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/trip-reports/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/289/#post797576
They caught at least 3 of the thieves involved allegedly with this $500K Richard Mille robbery. (But have not recovered the watch itself.)
It's gotten to where it's dangerous to wear a high end watch almost anywhere. Inside a Vegas casino is one of the few safe public places to wear an expensive timepiece. Out and about - most any city - you become a target.
Which is another reason to chill in Vegas - gives you an excuse to wear a quarter million dollar tourbillon with impunity.
Quote: Wellbushyeah I noticed some posters recently asking the Dawg some dubious questions. They got nothing better to do !
Well you know, people got to put little digs here and there but all it does is remind me of how much I am on their minds!
They were born to love me, and will never be free.
How long is it possible to stay in one of the larger/est suites in a top Vegas Strip resort WITHOUT playing, fully RFB comp'ed, before they give you the boot?
I tried this experiment back in the day. I made it about, mmm, 10 days beyond where I stopped playing at all, total stay was something like 17 days I believe.
This time, we're looking at possibly THREE WEEKS with no play at all. The room comp alone would be coming in around $22K.
But they are totally relentless in their attempt to belittle the Great MDawg!

Baccarat Winning Session Record: 7 out of 7 & 1 out of 1 Mini Session
Shucks, I got bored. And, they lured me down to the casino with some promo chips. It was a spontaneous decision. Played just one shoe, very easy, won around $6K. Still have some of the promo chips left over, too!
I had to play at a public table because I didn't want to wait around while they set mine up.
This player came up towards the end of the shoe and started betting, sometimes with me, sometimes against. I was about to have a no smoking sign placed on the table when this player declared that "sometimes smokes, do you mind?" Hellll yes, I mind. That was it, made the decision for me to leave. Before I left, I said to the player, "Well, I am sure you smoke only when you get nervous, so, as long as you win, you won't smoke, right?" The player actually responded with, "I am sure I will get nervous." I couldn't believe it. This player was basically saying, yes, I am sure I will lose.
And sure enough, as I chatted leisurely like with some of the dealers and pit bosses after scooping up the six large in profits, and on the way out, noticed the player was down to last couple chips.
What's funny is - I was actually going to play double deck blackjack. Could I have done as well, as easily?

I suppose you will find a lot of articles, but for whatever reason I tend to think that thieves target high end watches more than rings. And I assume that the reason they go for the Rolexes more, especially yellow gold ones, is that I have never seen a fake solid gold Rolex. The Rolexes that are faked are all made out of stainless. I am sure the other watches that are faked, in other Swiss brands, are also never made of real precious metal. Apparently even the thieves know this, so they look for shiny gold watches, and assume that whatever they get will end up being genuine, and quite valuable.
In general, fake watches are not made out of precious metal. Why encase them in gold or platinum that will end up making them cost thousands of dollars, when the typical client for a fake watch is only willing to spend a couple hundred dollars at most.
