Mikki Beating Baccarat?
Quote: OnceDearQuote: DieterQuote: Marcusclark66Absolutely great video. =. Exposing Mikki and his so called claims and open ended statements, etc. I thought Spencer did a good/great job of debunking.
So I am wrong now?

That would appear to be an endorsement of Spencer and his videos, at least on this subject.
Urging people to watch another video of his shortly after would seem to be a furtherance of the prior endorsement.

To give Marcus credit where it is due, he seems to, quite reasonably, highlight the value of watching the videos while not endorsing the content.
Hard to say whether highlighting the value of something equates to 'endorsing it' I'm inclined to think they are different things.

True enough. Is "recommend" a more suitable word than "endorse" here?
How about we rewind and don't use any words, lest we misinterpret or are misinterpreted.Quote: DieterQuote: OnceDear

The one video, yes. In most ways on a personal level I would side with Spencer or I would tend to agree with the majority of what Spencer was bringing forward as an observer.
However, IMO and hopefully that of most others, since I did not say I totally endorse or Spencer is always spot on, etc, whatever else Spencer comes out with does not automatically obtain my approval and endorsements.
I don’t believe I urged people to watch a video. Urging, would have to be, IMO, a bit ‘stronger’ than ‘watch’, no?
But maybe I am wrong?

To watch something, to sit in a conference, to read a summation of an incident or review video footage, etc, is to become aware and learn what is happening or might happen or what is out there, etc.
To endorse, approve of, side with, recommend as the correct way, etc, is to be included in such and such trend of thought or actions and furtherance of what the author or the subject is presenting.
The above two is my way of thinking.
Quote: AxelWolfI have no idea if Mikki has some back-end deals with the casinos or what kind of profits he makes from his social media stuff. There's certainly a potential +EV situation given the right situation, especially if he has the money and knowledge to negotiate a favorable deal. I believe he actually does. I can see a situation where casinos are/were willing to bend over backwards offering player-friendly deals(+EV) to get a shot at his and his connections money only to realize after the fact that they have been duped.
With that being said, I just lost any faith I had in Spencer Cornelia's investigation abilities. It's clear he is capable of being easily bamboozled. He looks at ONE(one he Mikki chooses himself) of Mikki's casino online casino player accounts and deems him legit. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It doesn't matter if you look at three or four or five or six, it's the one account that has a massive loss on it and that totality of all his play that really matters. Even then, you would have to factor in good old positive variance.
If Mikki's investors don't have an actual advantage(Fyi Mikki could be making something off the back end for himself) and he's just using some Marty system or whatever, Spencer Cornelia just helped perpetuate a financially dangerous situation to some gullible ignorant people.
It seems like it's only people who have a s*** ton of money to lose, that this has the potential to affect.

I thought twice about it, (Axel and I have wrestled a bit, LOL) but his rendering of Spencer’s video described in his post above is excellent IMO!
However I have done zero investigation or read anything more than an industry wide bulletin/memo regarding both Mikki and Spencer. My end of the memo was to alert another department’s personnel if those two individuals are recognized on the floor. That dies not imply anything is wrong or against the gaming regulations that govern our properties.
Again, I would side with Axel’s interpretations.

E.g.
Imperatives or commands (example: Watch!)
"Watch." is a complete sentence. The sentence commenced with a capital letter and was terminated by a period.
If it were referring to timepieces, or if it were just a verb, we would normally need a second word.
Now. I did not use an exclamation mark, so I did not URGE you to click that spoiler button. I 'suggested', 'commanded', or we might say 'recommended' that you click on it. You clicked on it. Thank you.
Now, Let's all stop assuming what we each mean or are thinking. Let's just read what we see on the screen and let's not argue about what we infer?
Click!

Just curious as to why the casino would care if Spencer was on the gaming floor? Concern that he might be filming?Quote: Marcusclark66My end of the memo was to alert another department’s personnel if those two individuals are recognized on the floor. link to original post
Mikki would not exactly blend in, would he?
Well done. You saw an amusing subtlety that I had not intended. But if I had, I'd have been proud.Quote: Marcusclark66Quote: OnceDear
