This will tell you who he is.

Quote: RSHe's a total idiot. He went to prison for a while for bank robbery (according to him). Also a video of him supposedly burning $10k cash. A few videos of him playing live at a casino and making a mockery of himself when getting backed off (just watch, he's saying sh** like "the count's +4, everyone bet more!"). Bit of chatter about his videos on BJTF, he signed up, argued with everyone, then started making alternate accounts (sock puppets) praising him then he got banned and a few recent videos include him talking sh** on BJTF members.
Have you ever burnt more then 10k in cash?
Have you ever won tons of money like this guy?
all on camera? I thought so.

23:20 gets told no action
at 29:10 he claims to have turned 35k into 200k in one night
Maybe he did, but he counted, played and outed himself like a complete jerk.
I begrudge him the publicity, but the vids do have some entertainment value. Ignore his advice though
To be fair, that is a genuine problem with those.Quote: rainmanHow come his spy glasses are always dead when he is laying out the big action?
What's more in question is why he feels it's a great idea to shove out $350 a hand in modest, or even nonexistent counts just because he's now 'playing with house money' Also in some of his rubbishy vids he's playing online live table blackjack, which is certainly not at all countable the way he does it... But he still mumbles about count while acknowledging it has no value.
So far, what I see most is a guy promoting his website, which he hopes to monetise. Any betting action that he shows is just a publicity stunt.
Amazed his monster sized camera specs were not instantly recognised as such.

I missed all that but went and read it (not a member of bjtf). Pretty funny stuff. I had stumbled onto one of his videos a few weeks ago while watching some poker vlog videos. I didn't watch much of it because he was berating a player for not following basic strategy (watch him play and you'll quickly learn he doesn't follow it either!). Maybe he learned his shtick from Rob Singer. :-) It'll be quite interesting to see how this "army of counters" will pan out. Especially when these novices learn the harsh realities of bj card counting.
This guys is like the vegasdave of bj.. he brags and posts fake winnings (those stacks of 10k are probably filled with singles, just like in vegasdave's photo where he got busted by a viewer... and there are suckers who are so desperate that they will pay for a subscription for hope in a jar.
However, if you want good entertainment and want to see how not to raise your kids, watch his videos. ha
Quote: SiegfriedRoyI'm scratching my head... The tough thing for me understand is his action (wager size) on his youtube videos doesn't warrant winning $210K. However, If he is a phony, I don't know how he would be able to get a hold of all that cash he shows...
They sell fake 10k stacks as props online... It is not difficult to show stacks like this. Take a look at the vegasdave post on here. There was a pic of vegasdave showing all of these 10k stacks in front of him as he bragged about how much money he had. Some sharp viewer zoomed in and showed that there were 1 dollar bills inside the stacks...not all 100s as he tried to convey. Lots of scammers out there..
If he did burn 10k, I think that is illegal. It doesn't seem smart to record yourself doing that and then post the video online, especially when you are already an ex-con.
If all the stacks of cash are legit (notice he never fanns the bills out or anything) Who knows where he got the cash. Someone with cash could be involved with him. Who knows, perhaps he saved money from illegal activity.
I love when he talks to dealer's with his leading questions. "Hey, remember when I made that 60k...blah blah blah. What's the dealer going to say? They are just going to go along with whatever He says.
Yah, ye-ah! G........tech!

Quote: IbeatyouracesApparently, one of his followers found a dealer cheating on one hand
https://youtu.be/j1EiWvN11nU
14:55 the dealer very clearly deals a second and wins the hand. Feels back of card in shoe. Pushes it up and draws the card below it.
Like WOW!
I've seen online dealer errors before, but this is pretty amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzS38MmFsOY
To do that deliberately for a $60 bet would be too incredible for words.
Ignore the monkey that's playing and narrating. He's claiming to be counting the game, but that is 5h1t.
I don't know if he got 455-raped when he was in jail, but some cyber criminal is going to tear him a new one some time soon.
Oh yeah, and what kind of blackjackprofessional splits 7s against an 8 with the very last $50 in his account. And who goes all in on a $100 hand with no chips in readiness for a double or split opportunity?
What a ploppie
Then proceeded to "burn" a $10,000 stack in a fire pit. :-)
Oh well. I guess he got enough publicity from us. Publicity stunts every step of the way. Traffic is money. I don't wish to promote him any more, so regardless of what stunt he pulls, I'm outta this thread.

The sitting in jail part is more than supposed:

Just go to that site, choose Arkansas and then put in his first and last name.

I don't like to trash talk other people's finances but since this guy likes to flaunt his supposed wealth I will enjoy a hearty laugh at his expense. Can't even come up with a $5,000 bond, what a joke.

Never heard of not being able to post your own bond either.
Quote: onenickelmiracleThe bond is only the fee, 10% of what is owed if he doesn't come back. I really don't get it completely, but maybe the bondsman doesn't think he'll make money if he doesn't show to court. Bad risk essentially, they want someone to cover searching for him and bringing him back. $5,000 is a pretty hefty bond. What good ever came out of Arkansas anyways.
His entire bond was $5,000. Which if he pays with his own cash he gets back at the end of his required court appearances. If he needs to pay a bondsman its usually like 10-15% of the entire bond he has to pay as bond premium. You don't get your bond premium back because its what the bondsman charge for use of their services.

I would have shed a tear but they forgot the soft sad music like they have in the save the animals commercial.
I thought the $5000 was 10%, not the entire amount. So he wants someone else to pay $5000 and it'll be in his pocket. The channel blocked me I think, commented "free bozo jabroni"(Sunny in Philadelphia reference). The link doesn't show a video anymore at least.Quote: DiscreteMaths2His entire bond was $5,000.

Also Vinelink 'unauthorised' for me. Maybe because I'm in UK.
I'd love to read about or see this.

All of his money was in safety deposit boxes, he has robbed a bank in the past, he got beat up so bad by the police he went to the hospital, he wants to sue the police, he is filing a tort claim against the jail for not screening for TB.
