No.

Scintillating stuff. And that is post number 2,734.

Up next on the boymimbo network: I'm going to have some coffee and make myself a sandwich. What kind of sandwich will I have? Text your vote to #43423 and you decide. Text 1 for tuna, 2 for ham, and 3 for turkey. Text 4 for I don't give a rat's behind. Film at 11.

GOLD!!!!!!

But seriously, Ahigh, the craps stuff I might find interesting... the rest of it, no. To be constructive, if it was a pure hour of just watching craps and you setting the dice or showing off your robotic arm, I might take notice.

Sorry you didn't take notice, but the stuff you are complaining about was before 7:30. We were started on craps last time at 7:25. If you tuned out before the show started, maybe you should figure out how to use a watch. I'm not responsible for your lack of attention to the starting times, and I apologize. If you go back and look at the post, I made it really clear when I was going to start.

IE: it was MORE than a pure hour of craps stuff after you tuned out because you didn't take note of the starting time.

Another high profile gaming radio host? Whoopie!

You know what, forget it guys. The show is off.

I don't need this. It was fun until this thread, honestly.

Just forget it.

I would like to formally submit a complaint to all the members of this forum who post little one-liner quips like those on this thread.

I'm not sure what makes you act that way, but I am done dealing with you all on here.

I'm really not sure why I felt motivated to do things like this in the first place.

I will follow through with the show on the 11th, but I'm not doing any more shows specifically because of kinds of comments like the ones on this thread.

You guys just don't get it: how much work this is to do, and that I was doing it purely for the entertainment value.

You guys just ruined it for me. I don't enjoy responses like this, and the entertainment value is the only reason I do it.

This is not fun for me anymore.

Wizard: feel free to ban me, I'm done with how this board is run and how people are so rude on here. I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people?

Aaron, I wish you'd simply block those who engage in puerile comments that belittle your efforts. I count myself among the many here who appreciate what you are doing and the value your posts bring to the community. Hope you'll not let these spoil sports ruin it for the rest of us.

The show must go on.

darn, we were THIS close to beating the game of craps until you inconsiderate lot ruined it for ahigh.

thanks a lot.

DANG, dude. Really? It's the Internet. Get over it!

You know what, I apologize for letting it affect me, but the positive feedback I get is _ALL_ that I get out of this.

When the response to my doing a show is ridicule, I just don't want to do it. It's just that simple.

Sniffle sniffle.

I have so many issues with this short post.

OK,

1. So your main motivation in your craps/AV work is positive feedback? But if you only get positive feedback, it's meaningless, isn't it? Positive only means anything when there's the possibility of negative. You should appreciate the negative feedback as giving meaning to any positive feedback you happen to get. You can't draw a picture with white ink on white paper.

2. You are coming to an online message board for personal validation. Not only is that all kinds of wrong, but you are also coming to a board filled with skeptics and logical/analytical types, and your entire body of work is based on hunches and intuitions and unfalsifiable claims. It's just not gonna go over well here, and frankly I am surprised you get as many "fans" as you do.

3. For someone so desperate for social validation, you do not seem to have any sense of humor. I took the time to click on your show link last week and all I saw was a lady doing dishes. That is why I asked if there would be dishes this week. If you can't see the humor in that, you are taking yourself too seriously.

4. You seem to have a very nice house, a lot of disposable income, a lot of free time, a girlfriend, and a daughter. That's a lot going for you. Someone working from such a position of strength shouldn't be on such an emotional hair-trigger when his illogical craps schemes are questioned on a message board.

Really, dude? Maybe you missed the part where I said I don't need this. I think you're projecting a little bit here.

I enjoy the positive feedback, that's a lot different from need.

I absolutely don't need any of this crap .. including your little analysis above.

If you don't have something nice to say, just shut the hell up, dude.

Out...

For the best you realized this now. The internet is full of haters. If you can't deal with the negatives, then.. well, best stay out of the kitchen.

Yeah, I have plenty of other things to do.

WTF? Craps is not a beatable game. Except to potheads.

So, this chick that was doing the dishes.......Was she hot? What was she wearing?

Was it part of the dice control stuff or is Ahigh also doing a racy show that you stumbled onto?

There's some funny stuff here. My first reaction
is to pig pig pile on, but I'll take the other road.

Lighten up, Ahigh. Use the comments to make
your show better. Personally, craps makes me
suicidal, just watching it in the casino makes me
look for a knife to fall on. If people think your
show is boring, do it in the nude. You'll make
new friends, even if its still boring.

You know what? All I have been trying to do is to have fun with this thing.

I'm sure it's not hard to understand why this isn't fun being subjected to all this stuff from you guys.

If I were in the shoes of an observer here, I'd say the same thing. The old, "don't worry about it" and "toughen up."

But guess what? I don't have to and I don't owe anybody anything at all.

Not my problem.

You guys want to pretend that what you say shouldn't affect me, go right ahead.

But it does. And I'm not going to pretend like it doesn't and I don't have to do anything I don't want to do when stuff like this happens.

It bugs me to work so hard on the stuff that I do only to be ridiculed by people who think in their mind they know more about this stuff than I do.

So forget about it. You smarty pants guys can just keep on thinking what you're thinking. Fine with me.

You think you've beaten craps? WTF do you care what
we think, the casino is who you have to impress. We're
just the dumbass peanut gallery. Go win millions and
write a book.

Sheesh.

I must have missed some comments, but I liked the show Ahigh. Thanks for your efforts to share. The video I thought was excellant and the audio seemed to be live streamed right to my house. Other than some hollywood flick, that was the best craps related pertinent dice throwing on topic video I've seen quality wise and even better because your not trying to sell anything. Just sharing. I could see room for expansion, too bad Teddy didn't make it, maybe some other shooter's, etc. The show had the possibility for fun for many. Good roll man, good roll....petro

This isn't The Journal of the American Medical Association, where you will be cogently and civilly analyzed, and praised for your hard work by a panel of your peers.

This is a bunch of yahoos sitting around their computers in their underwear ready to make smarmy and stupid comments with the push of a button.

Granted, you will get some good feedback (there are good people here), but you will mostly get bullshit. That's what Internet forums are about.

As far as I know, there isn't a professional association for craps yet, so this is probably the best you are going to do. Some of us are interested enough to not make stupid comments.

I would appreciate some more advance notice on when the show is on and the specific time in the pacific time zone. I tried before but for some reason I could not get on the site.

by the way, the thread was titled "show tomorrow night at 7:30pm" well what date and what time zone is that, exactly????

Well my whole evening is wide open now that the Dishwashing and Dice Delusion Show has been put on hiatus due to hurt feelings.

I hope Aaron reconsiders; otherwise I have nothing to fill the void.

Now, I wish I didn't cancel Directv yesterday!!!

Ahigh, your dice setting fixation / fantasy is only one of many subjects you could examine using your private channel.

Invite the gang to your home during WoVCon; ply them with booze and group them in a circle; play "The Hokey Pokey Song" and determine once and for all if THAT'S what it's all about.

"You put your right foot in ... "

Use Slo-Mo to finally get down to the heart of the matter.

The troll trolls, and having trolled, moves on ...

For those who are just finding out what it is that I have been doing, I have made the point before, but I have never had lifetime wins in the game of craps.

Never.

I have never claimed that I could or am beating the casino's edge with the bets that I make when I go out and play.

Never.

I have never claimed that there are not lucky fools who do much better than folks who set the dice.

Never.

Yet I continue to have to listen to the diatribe of people trying to explain things to me that I already know.

And I continue to have to listen to fools who think that I am doing something DIFFERENT than what I am doing because they just aren't paying attention and group me in with every Tom Dick and Harry that mentions dice setting, controlled shooting, or any other buzzword related to the topic that I am researching.

I am not a money-motivated person. I like to have fun. And when things aren't fun anymore I don't want to play.

So that is one thing that makes me different from you guys.

I am very successful at generally all things that I undertake. This has already taken me years. I probably spent as many years undertaking other hobbies to use my motor memory, and I am familiar with how long it takes to develop the motor memory to do things like this. I never thought it was going to be quick. This is not a task you can master in a weekend.

Proving that it is possible to get a biased outcome from a biased toss coupled with years of motor memory is what I am setting out to do.

Convincing every hick in the United States of America that it is possible is not a goal of mine.

Even having a single other soul be able to verify my findings isn't something I care much about.

I just want some proof, and my quest is my journey.

I undertook the quest because it is hard not because it is easy.

When I blew out my meager $2,000 bankroll, I made so much money doing other things with my free time (IE: investing in stocks) it was absolutely ridiculous to think that I am doing any of this for anything other than entertainment value. I also built the dice throwing robot with some of that free time.

I absolutely know my way around and I absolutely know how to make money.

You guys who think I am doing this as my desperate hope to financial success know absolutely nothing at all about me.

Okay?

I set up all this stuff so I could broadcast the event on March 11th. I will continue with that.

The plan I had when I posted this thread got derailed when it stopped being fun for me.

If things change I will let you know, but I'm still unhappy about all of this. I don't have to be happy, but I'm telling you this is what you get when I'm doing it for my own entertainment. You have to deal with my whims. You have to deal when I'm not happy. You have to deal with the effect that other people have on me when they make crude, snide, uninformed, ridiculous, and just plain stupid comments. People say some of the stupidest troll-baiting comments on this forum. And I know everyone here is used to it, but I don't have to deal with it if I don't want to. That's all.

If the topic is now becoming what a boo-hoo baby cry Ahigh has become, that is absolutely fine with me. I can exit this entire website again for years as I have been here before with this forum and how I get treated, and I can and did just leave for a long period of time.

I absolutely don't need any of you guys to make my life complete.

No, as I stated upthread, I believe you are doing this for social validation.

You might consider changing your screen name to "Ahab:" dice setting is to you as the white whale was to Ahab.

Arrr, thar she blows ...

Really? I will tell you what, I have to get on and do a google search to know the details of what you are suggesting. But I think your suggestion is no different than calling me a name.

The idea that I need this forum for ANYTHING is ridiculous to me.

And CERTAINLY the idea that I need YOUR comments is.

If not a true troll, then certainly troll-like.

You post ad nauseum on a controversial subject, seeking to elicit our reaction, and then when it blows up in your face we get: "Well fine, I'll just take my jacks and go home."

You've settled nothing, only encouraged polarizing and divisive comments.

Very imaginative. I think you and people like you are the ones living in fantasy land.

Bbbbut....he's a SUCCESSFUL troll!

Every person I've ever known who says they aren't motivated
by money, always is motivated by money. It always comes out
eventually that money is extremely omportant to them. Even
if they have a ton of it, and often especially if they have a ton
of it.

So when I hear somebody say money means nothing to them,
they know how to make money, my radar always goes up. Whats
their hidden agenda. If you confront them, they get very uppity
and defensive about it.

Normal people never talk about money this way because they
know money is important to them. Always be leery of people
who say it isn't, because they are usually obsessed with it.

EvenBob, it sounds like you're putting words in my mouth.

I believe what I said was that I wasn't "money motivated."

And in this context, we are strictly talking about the game of craps.

I am very money motivated when it comes to employment.

Maybe the clarification helps out here.

I just get a little weary when it comes to arguments that amount to "if you're so great, where are your wins?!?!"

I hope this clears things up, and if you have questions, feel free to ask. Context here is key on the subject. And I'm not sure, but I think you're the one who brought up the question, "why bother on here, why not just go win a million bucks" or whatever you said.

You brought up the money, not me.

For those following along *this* is what I call trolling. Not publishing a bunch of data and filming performances to demonstrate something that nobody else is demonstrating.

I would have to agree, that if Ahigh's intention was to troll this forum, he is doing an amazing job at it.

I am not sure what I am rooting for. I can't decide if his posts are sadder if he is intentionally trolling or not.

Since you're the guy with all the psychological references, maybe you should look up projection.

I'm anything but sad, buddy. Ask anyone who's met me if they think I'm, what you refer to as, "Sad..."
