Can I please ask, and hopefully you won’t ban me, but this is IMO and what I simply interpret your intense and consistent postings in MDawgs thread as well as mine.
Question is. It seems to me, you really do hate winners. Or is it just MDawg and myself?
Respectfully,
Marcus Clark

I'd call such a man a Wizard. Maybe even The Wizard. The M in mdawg surely stands for Magical. Great and Magical would be more appropriate but I suspect he is too humble for that.
There was a man in AC who could cut himself a picture card every time. If a gambler can cut himself a picture every time, is it all that far fetched to believe the great Mdawg can't cut the cards in such a way that the next forty cards will be in his favor?
I believe it was Tommy Dreamer who said 'Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer".

Ultra Fantastic!
Thanks for your great thoughts.

TLDR, I'm one of life's hecklers.
I love winners and applaud their good fortune. I'm an occasional small winner myself. I'm not jealous, by the way. If you guys want to throw down big wagers, you get the benefit or the cost thereof.
No Hate towards any member here.
The posts of Mdawg and yourself have certain characteristics. It's those characteristics, of the posts, which I feel a certain hostility to. Unfortunately many of those posts are the antithesis to the ethos of this forum, where we would hope to see useful, believable posts, guiding our members to make rational wagering decisions.
We have lost too many good contributors either to short suspensions or to permanent leaving in disgust that your posts go unchallenged. THAT is something I feel 'intense' about.
A man comes up to a craps table. He has two choices - play the Pass line or the Don't. He decides on the Pass. He keeps it there, and the shooter makes 8 passes. Then craps out. Then makes 10 passes. The man wins 18/19 times that he bets. Did he have to possess any clairvoyance to win?
In Baccarat my usual opening strategy is to free hand the first hand, then bet whatever came up. If I win, I press, if I win again, I press again. So, in such situations, if that side runs, I will win a lot. If it doesn't even repeat even twice, I will have lost one bet. If it runs at least 3 times, I will make something or at worst break even. In other words, Plan A on all shoes is usually to see if it runs straight out the gate. If not, then I free hand a bunch more and see what else might be in store. (Keep in mind also that when I cut, I might be cutting at that point for a reason. 😉)
On this particular shoe for Day 164 play, all I did was decide to bet Player instead of free handing the first hand. Call that clairvoyance or call that just deciding to do that instead of free handing the first hand. And then I pressed as usual from there. The only mistake I made, was that I bet 500 on the first hand, 1500 on the second, but then didn't keep to the more aggressive than usual press I was doing at that moment and go 4500 on the third hand and up from there. If I had, I would have won a LOT more, in tune with what the pit boss remarked: "You could retire on a shoe like that."
Remind me if I forget in a week or two I'll post a picture of the shoe. We'll have ThatDonGuy evaluate the odds of a shoe where the first 8 out the gate are Player, followed by 1 Bank, then 10 Players. As well, once the side by side Player runs ended, I just free handed about 10 hands and just evaluated that the gravy train was more or less over, and left. That is also key - when something extraordinary happens and you have taken at least some (winning $15K or so on a run like that was nothing, I was barely betting) advantage of it, be sure to leave. Session over.
I showed a picture of the shoe to a couple friends of mine and they were amazed that I didn't clock $200K on it. I was a little gun shy though in that I had actually lost a few K on the first shoe, and had been down as much as -10K at one point on the first shoe. So, along those lines, from lowest to end point, it was a 23K or so run. (Which gets back to my other point made before.)

This "winning big when you have to" may also work against you, because in this case, just a few hands into the beginning of that Player run, I was even again, and I let off on the gas. I should not have, but I did. It's sometimes hard to bet huge on the very next hand after you just got even, even if the progression would have called for it.

So, in plain English and in simple terms, you are requesting me to stop posting in regards to my real and factual Casino play?
I can only assume you would also like me to stop posting about any day to day casino related items that happen at my casino properties?
Am I correct?
Well you can start by not putting words in my mouth.Quote: Marcusclark66

Are Marcus or MDawg to blame for the suspensions of other members?
Didn't the contributors who left in disgust choose to leave, rather than simply follow the repeated advice of the admins to either ignore or block bothersome members and posts?
Are Marcus and MDawg to blame for the choices made by other members?

In the original (now closed) "Adventures" thread, you directed Marcus to do the following...
Quote: OnceDearDrop the hostility.
This smacks of "rules for thee, but not for me" - ism.
How about you drop your admitted hostility, instead of reacting with hostility?
Quote: OnceDearYou simply told the cards how to proceed and they obeyed you?**
** What does one call a man who claims such magical powers?
The quote above is just straight-up trolling.
Yet another mod in desperate need of a self-check.
