It's gonna happen one of these days, maybe later this year!

You know how it is though, you get one watch you consider to be the Holy Grail and then something else comes along. There's no end to it. I've actually been getting watches only for the wife lately. She points out that I have too many.

The next Vegas trip has been booked, and the Adventures will be posted here sooner than you might think!

At the prompting of - ironically enough, AxelWolf, they will be time delayed so that no one here may determine exactly where I am at at any given moment. AxelWolf has suggested that crazies might try to stalk.

That won't be as much fun for me, not being able to post results at the end of each day, but I'll write the posts and keep a log and then post them all eventually.

anyone notice caesars bumped many of its active club members to diamond? i should only have like 6000 points but i have 16000. they have gotten rid of a lot of perks and having the diamond card at this time is not any better than the gold card was from what i recount. i just think its funny that they devised this up to get people to feel special at no real extra cost


I haven't played at a Caesar's Ent. (the name Harrah's Ent. assumed) property in years. But in 2019, I upgraded to Diamond via their Tier Match using my Platinum card from Cosmopolitan.

All I got out of was the free ($100. towards anyway) dinner, otherwise did not stay or play at any Caesar's property.

And my status went back to nada (Gold) at some point earlier this year, so I guess matched tier status that was set to expire by the end of January, was not extended.

Caesar's must be considered a great name, because when Harrah's bought them, later in 2010, they assumed the Caesar's name, and now that Eldorado bought them, they too will be assuming the Caesar's name.


However, in that I have not played at any Caesar's property in so long, this is one property that my friend who is an outside host has said he can get me into on his ticket. Caesar's still has the grand Baccarat table - only one left in Vegas as far as I know.

At this one major where I got a new mid to high five figure creds line during our last trip that ended March 2020, but never got a chance to play this year. I had a line with them years ago, but haven't given them any action since way back then.

Either because they've seen no action from me in over a decade, or no action since opening the line (I actually went in and presented my ID and signed for it, it was active in February 2020), they asked that I resubmit all banking info to "activate" the line before coming in. Not a full-on resubmission of application although behind the scenes I am sure they also ran casino credit. Also it's interesting as their casino credit stated that due to the pandemic they are experiencing delays in verifying bank balances, and asked me to submit the first page only of bank statements to self-verify.

Anyway, all done and activated.

but just goes to demonstrate that at least one of the casinos is re-verifying data post-pandemic to make sure peeps are still casino credit worthy.

I always used to spread table min to table max at blackjack. How do you think I beat the hell out of them so much? For whatever reason, it worked for me consistently. I've mentioned the circumstances where I felt it was justified here more than once. And it worked almost all the time. Sometimes it actually worked for days on end, all the time. That was before I got banned for a period (handicapped to a 3X spread) - they really hated someone who lost only table mins and won all his table maxes.



KewlJ describes an existence where he is concerned about whether whatever he is doing is even worth it, and has actually gotten to the point of thinking that the casinos might be cheating. This shows you that yes, I do actually read what others write and absorb it.

I don’t think KewlJ, AxelWolf, Redietz, and some others, read much of what I write, at least not carefully, judging by how they summarize it. I think that OnceDear for example, reads what we write here carefully, and whether I agree with his interpretations or not, I have to give it to him that he’s actually responding to more or less exactly what we were trying to say.

In any case, I was never in such a precarious situation as KewlJ describes – possibly undercapitalized, clearly constantly worried about getting banned, wondering if what I was doing was going to feed me this year, and musing about whether the casinos were cheating me. I went in to win, and win big and I didn’t even think much if at all about whether I’d get banned. I did actually get banned for a couple years, handicapped to a 3X spread due to my jumping between min and max bets, but eventually the same top dog who banned me let me back in and even cheerfully introduced me to his crew as “This is ________ , he likes to jump his bet between table min and max.” I mean I was known for that at BlackJack.

Not that it mattered, because I eventually moved towards playing more Baccarat than Blackjack anyway. I just like Baccarat more and I win at it, so why not. But I’m still not going in there to make a living at gambling, and these days I’m not even trying to win big like before, these days just making sure I stay ahead is enough. Which I have stayed very far ahead these past two years since my return to play after my decade or so hiatus.
MDawg win/loss 2018-2019.

MDawg win/loss 2019-2020.

And I won over all back then too (pre-hiatus), including some nice low to mid six figure winning trips.

Maybe Vegas has changed; I get the impression KewlJ hasn’t been alive very long so maybe Vegas was different back then and they gave us more leeway. I don’t know. But, I think when you’re clinging desperately to not getting booted you’re already playing with a handicap. Me, I didn’t worry about getting booted and just went in and played to the max every time. If I got booted, so what, gambling was never an occupation for me I’d just go home from my trip back to my real career. Vegas was just fun for me not an occupation. If you don’t care, you play a lot harder than the kind of grind KewlJ describes – if you think you should jump your bet, just do it, don’t pull your spread back to avoid detection that’s silly. I just think it’s a waste of time to pussy foot around how can you win if you’ve got a ball and chain of your own making around your ankle.

No you don’t have to jump all the way to table max if you’re KewlJ the Pro but I get the impression that he doesn’t even spread as far as he thinks he should because he’s afraid of getting detected. If so, he’s already handicapping himself without any intervention from the powers that be. And there are many “professional card counters” who will tell you the same thing – to do your thing when you go in there not ease back just to avoid detection.

And at the end of the day, still KewlJ is wondering whether whatever he is doing is worth pursuing. That right there is enough to tell me to avoid whatever path he’s on.

The path I choose is the MDawg one.

I had actually signed up for this trial
Inquiry Begins Into AstraZeneca's Vaccine
but it was halted before any of us in my group got a single dose.

I also got my annual flu vaccine a week or so ago. I don't have any problem with vaccinations I have received them all.

By the way don't ever try to buy a car from https://cars.trovit.com/ almost every valuable car listing on there is fraudulent. I'm in the process of restoring one of my classic cars and I found one like it on there for a fraction of its value - several in fact. Made me wonder, why am I spending thirty grand to do some work on my car when I can buy the whole thing for that on trovit. I thought my car was worth minimum hundred and fifty K, and two hundred fifty K once fully restored. Well, it turns out what they do over there is lift pictures of legitimate listings and then relist the classic cars with absurdly low prices. Inquire, and some bozo tries to direct you to a fake auto shipment / auto escrow site that he just built a few days ago, to lure you into wiring money into some "escrow" where the auto broker claims he will then ship the car to you. Avoid at all costs! Just run a search on the images and you will find the images from almost every listing on trovit was pulled from a legitimate listing where the classic vehicle sold long ago at 5X the price.

As some of you know, we've been in Vegas continuously since very early October. For details come to the TruePassage forum / ask me for the URL via PM. Such a long stay is not unheard of for me, but what is unusual even for me, is that most of it is at one resort.

I think it will be of benefit to others for me to reveal that it does appear that they are comp'ing heavier than usual these days. Perhaps there just aren't as many big players around these days. Granted, my average bet has been over a thousand and I am putting in the hours (not really average four per day, but still some solid hours), nevertheless, the eager willingness of the host to keep extending our stays, fully comp'ed, is not the norm.

Observations:

-Coronavirus measures seem to be adequate - I mean at least, I haven't gotten sick while here and I have been at the tables almost every day. Everyone must wear a mask or shield (thankfully most wear a mask - a shield alone in my opinion is inadequate), and at two out of three of the resorts we have stayed at, there are plexiglass barriers at the tables. We have avoided in-restaurant dining and are doing almost exclusively take-out. I carry alcohol spray for my chips, and my own hand sanitizer.

-Crowds at many of the high end resorts on the Strip are decidedly NOT high end. Lowered room rates (or free rooms for "essential workers") have brought down the caliber of the visitors. This is not just a typical tourist crowd, which would be okay, but a low end crowd in general. We spent a week at a resort in Henderson and that crowd was more typical tourist and not so low end.

-Comps are being offered up freely. We are going on an entire MONTH at one very high end Strip resort (stayed so long that actually had to move suites because of some "Nevada residency" rule). For me to stay at one resort this long and for the comps to still be flowing, is an anomaly. The about 1300 square feet suite we are in at this current resort would be just under a thousand a night at current rack rates.
-They are giving us full RFB (room food beverage) but that's nothing new, what is unusual is that they are comp'ing not only spa, but also spa TIPS, and also even room service tips.
- I asked about promotional chips at the resort we are at now (and have been for almost a month) but they said that was based on the prior 18 months of play and I did not qualify. However, I did get as I recall $400. of promo chips from a different casino about a year ago, and I used to get a lot of promo chips when I played years ago (prior to my decade or so hiatus from gaming).
-We got a 1000 "shopping spree" too via the casino's affiliate stores, and tons of promotional crap that VIP has been giving out. Need an extra suitcase or two just to take the promotional crap all home.

On top of all that, I have won, consistently, at all three resorts. Two of the resorts we already left, so the wins are absolute there - done deals. As for the third resort, of course, anything could happen and the only thing that matters is what I take home with me, but so far looking great. I have not been down on any day of this trip, although I did have one day when I dumped some of my winnings. Will probably go home in a week or so.
So you don't need to lose to get comp'ed - just keep that average bet up there.

Anyway, if you are not afraid of coronavirus which - it would sure be a shame to catch it now when it seems like a viable vaccine is on the horizon - and can put up with the lower end crowd (at most all, but not all casinos - there seems to be at least one exception one Strip casino that is doing a better job of keeping the riff raff out) - you may get a lot for your play right now. The comps are great, but at the end of the day all that matters to me is winning, which, fortunately, has kept up on a consistent basis for me.

Sooooo,

You qualify for over a month of RFB but based on your last 18 months play you don't qualify for promo chips?

In his (their?) fictional universe promo chips are only given to losers as loss rebates at the end of the trip. I guess to bring back on the next trip? Table games players don't get offers that include free chips. Offers certainly aren't mailed since whales hate getting mail so I don't even know how whales would know if they had free chips, which they don't.

Nice job winning every day for a month straight.

As I explained already at the other forum, this casino, which is a major on the Strip and perhaps the nicest most luxurious on the Strip with some of the highest rollers on the Strip, has never given promo chips before except for tournament winnings. They started giving out promo chips based on play, only post-coronavirus reopening. That’s right though – not one of you has ever had a promo chip from this casino, so…how would you know? other than to cavil.

I got the exact spreadsheets for how these will be handed out, but I am not getting any promo chips this trip. I have not won any tournaments at this casino. I may be getting some promo chips in the future based on their new program

But let’s get right to the heart of things. I won another +5200. today. I confirmed today with my host today that at this casino, this leg of the trip, I have put in some 71 hours of play at a 1200 average, and that my theoretical loss is some seventy grand, but instead, I am up some twenty grand at this moment (at this resort – my over all win between the three resorts is some fifty grand for this over month long trip). If I had not had the one day where I spilled earnings, I’d easily be up a great deal more than twenty grand. And again, this twenty grand is solely what I have won so far at this one resort.

If anyone is willing to put his money where his mouth is, I can confirm that all the following are true:

-I have been in Vegas continuously since very early October.

-I have won – net ahead – the exact figures as posted at TruePassage – at both of the resorts we were at before this one, and am net ahead some additional twenty grand at the moment, representing just the win at this third resort.

-That at this resort as of today, I have put in some 71 hours in play, at a 1200 average, with a theoretical loss of some seventy thousand dollars.

-That I have played almost every single day at all three resorts, pretty much every day other than check in and check out days.

-That all of the suites, room, food, beverage, and spa, have been comp’ed, to the tune of some fifty thousand dollars of comp’ed goods and services.

-That I also got a 1000 shopping spree.

Send me a PM at the other forum, I can arrange the wager.

P.S. How about a side bet over that my host asked me for advice on how he might be able to win at casinos.

Otherwise, put a sock in it. Naysayers who either cannot or do not have the cash to back up their twaddle are annoying as huck, like mosquitos biting at me while I’m being hand carried like royalty through the jungle on a safari enjoying my God given privileges.

You've played for 40-50 days straight, have been up every single day, but are up only $50,000 total while wagering over $1,000 on average?

Makes a lot of sense bro.

He also claimed he wanted to meet up with the Wizard and some other members so they can verify his outrageous claims of the amount he's betting and his always winning. He has been here numerous times for extended periods of time, and yet....you guest it.

I am more interested in the "always winning" part. If someone has the means and bets a lot regularly, playing a losing game, that doesn't impress me.

So as someone who doesn't play baccarat, doesn't even know how to play is there a way to play with an advantage? I mean there seems to a number of these guys running around claiming winning baccarat play (or maybe 1 guy with many handles and names lol).

I mean I guess a high roller getting a rebate could make play +EV. I know JSTAT also claims to be able count baccarat, but frankly he has little credibility and people that play the game say no.

So is there something I don't know to make the game +EV? And no I am not expecting anyone to share with me what that might be.

He also claimed he wanted to meet up with the Wizard and some other members so they can verify his outrageous claims of the amount he's betting and his always winning. He has been here numerous times for extended periods of time, and yet....you guest it.



He's also fallen on the last resort of the fiction writer, system scammer, conman script of "Bet me bro, I only do $50k wagers and you have to pay in advance before we decide the terms" schtik.

I mean, there are countable side bets that can be lucrative if game is being dealt down to less than half a deck. Many baccarat tables have nice big displays showing prior results. In some places you could track the game from a nearby bar and wander over when there's a positive situation and slam down huge money without anything looking too weird. If you're willing to risk a felony you could track the played cards on your phone and identify +EV situations with 100% accuracy.

At the end of the day though you're doing a lot of tracking to get down very few wagers.

This is all moot though. Nearly everyone who says they're winning at baccarat is either outright lying, like MDawg, or counting their winning sessions while forgetting lots of losing session.

I am more interested in the "always winning" part. If someone has the means and bets a lot regularly, playing a losing game, that doesn't impress me.

So as someone who doesn't play baccarat, doesn't even know how to play is there a way to play with an advantage? I mean there seems to a number of these guys running around claiming winning baccarat play (or maybe 1 guy with many handles and names lol).

99% of us already know the "always winning" part is completely bunk and that goes for anyone playing -EV games and even for the most part +EV games. There's situations where someone may choose to target and play only stone cold locks, therefore, they always win. For a time back in the day I would target such things.

I don't believe 90% of what he's claiming or what he would have us believe. I already said I would be satisfied and admit I was wrong and even pay some penalty if he could prove to me by doing a betting session of 3k per hand over x amount of hands. Should be easy for a guy who claims to have bought a bunch of Bit Coin back when it was pennies or whatever and is still holding.

We have been here before quite a few times....Fancy pictures and various types of so called proof of a luxurious gambling lifestyle or some crazy claims. Eventually, the truth comes out and it's always BS.

Of course there's plenty of people that do have some high rolling gambling lifestyle, but you can oftentimes tell when it's legitimate. Then there's certain people you can tell something isn't right. The best course of action for a faker is to avoid meeting a true skeptic or someone savvy enough to ferret out the BS.

Wasn't there something like this that was proposed earlier this year? Didn't involve me, it was Axel if I am not mistaken, but I was hoping to tag along, just to watch some play and see if he wins "every session". If memory serves, there was a semi planned meet up in the lobby of Cosmo where Mdawg was staying, and I don't know....it never materialized beyond forum banter.

I have already attempted setting something up before. He seemed a bit wishy washy when it came to that. Whatever the case, I believe I'm not on his list of people he is willing to meet, under the guise of... "' could be out to get him'.

I can't blame him for not wanting to meet me since our forum relationship isn't a good one. However, there's others who would be willing to do so. That's already been suggested. The ball is in his court since he's the only one who knows his own schedule and can say, let's do it.

I ALLREADY SAID THIS BEFORE. For the most part, I would not show up somewhere I'm not wanted or search for someone who doesn't want to be found. Real or fake he has the right to his privacy, even if he himself doesn't respect others privacy. As we already know, he attempted to doxx me by screen shot posting and repeating a few times what "someone else" posted. And he was suspended here for some other doxxing infraction.

This isn't anything I think or care about once I exit the discussion.

If there was any discussion of me meeting him at the cosmopolitan(or any place for that matter) I certainly wasn't involved in that discussion, at least not as far as I can remember.

It's possible there was a discussion, but I didn't notice.

thinking about it, it may have been someone else, who no longer participates here. lol. It was before I was re-instated here I believe, so I wasn't involved in the discussion, but like I said was interested in tagging along, just to see the results of a few sessions.

I don't know, it just seems very familiar to me....and then it never came about.

Time passes, things change.

He requested that those interested in debunking him can PM him.

If you attempted to set something up, then you must have been interested,

The meetup required a ridiculous $50,000 wager in which he played his $50,000 while you played your $50,000 and he guaranteed he would have more money than you when finished (not necessarily even a winning session if memory serves. So if you wound up with $47,000 and he had $48,000 he won)

And then if you did win, he refused to have any actual wager. It was just for him to prove himself. If you lost a bunch of your money but wound up with more than him then he owed you nothing in return.

Ridiculous terms and as he clearly hoped, no one took him up on it

I didn't bother reading anything after
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/trip-reports/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/35/#post785503

BUT

I'm done for today. As you know I play just one session a day. Won again today.

So, if anyone wants to do this PM the Wizard he'll get hold of me. The bet is that EVERYTHING I posted in THIS post
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/trip-reports/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/35/#post785503
is 100% true.

I'll put up fifty thousand which I have right on me, or more if you want me to go to the bank. We have Wizard hold our bankrolls - $100,000. - while we both remain in his presence. We will all three of us meet at the casino I am at now, we'll first verify everything is true as to THIS casino, then I'll have them give us a car and we'll be limo'ed to the other two resorts we were at prior to this one, and verify the wins and info at those two resorts too.

If ANY TINY bit of what I posted in THAT post

-I have been in Vegas continuously since very early October.

-I have won – net ahead – the exact figures (or more) as posted at TruePassage – at both of the resorts we were at before this one, and am net ahead some additional twenty grand at the moment, representing just the win at this third resort. [This is as of 11/18/2020, which I am now actually a bit further ahead (about four grand more) than twenty thousand at this resort.]

-That at this resort as of today [meaning - yesterday 11/18/2020], I have put in some 71 hours in play, at a 1200 average, with a theoretical loss of some seventy thousand dollars.

-That I have played almost every single day at all three resorts, pretty much every day other than check in and check out days.

-That all of the suites, room, food, beverage, and spa, have been comp’ed, to the tune of some fifty thousand dollars of comp’ed goods and services.

-That I also got a 1000 shopping spree.

is false, I lose. Otherwise, all your stupid cash is mine.

As far as the side bet, I will bet any amount of money that my host yesterday sought my advice on how to win at casinos.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP. I'm free for the rest of the day.

Yes I'm sounding like an arrogant bastard but as my host put it, he doesn't even have players who win consistently, let alone one who has been in town as long as I have been and is still winning. So at the risk of falling over, I think I am owed a huge pat on the back. C'mon, I'm ready. I'm free the rest of today.

PM the Wizard I'm ready. I have contacted him and told him about this post, and that I trust him to officiate.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people. https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/betting-systems/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/

Is there any reason why someone who is convinced that 90% of what you claim is untrue would not easily take $50K from you by accepting this bet...especially if they live in LV?

They have none less than their trusted friend The Wizard of Odds as judge of what is real or fabricated, plus they finally have the chance to expose and embarrass you, besides the sweet satisfaction of taking money from you.

What is the delay here...won't any of you doubters snap call this guy's bluff?

Because most of us have seen "The Sting" and other assorted con job films to know trust is the first weapon of a con.

EDIT:. Not saying the Wizard would be involved in a con but cons work by involving unwitting "trusted" principals as well.

This just reeks of a con to my con radar.

At any rate, I am in NY so I am "out" anyway

I am generally willing to officiate a bet. I am not sure how I would verify everything MDawg said, but am open to negotiating the details of two parties are at least close to a bet.

I will say that MDawg once offered to buy a watch of mine for about $4,000*, but I declined.

Note:
* I originally and incorrectly said $5,000.

Thank you Wizard.

I am here in Vegas for...who knows how much longer. I keep winning, they keep comp'ing, I don't see a reason to leave quite yet, although I am pretty much at the informal goal I set for myself. I'm not trying to hit a home run, just win.

I am willing to have the above claims I made above subject to any level of scrutiny by the Wizard in the presence of the bettor, after he puts up his cash alongside mine for the Wizard to hold. Unless you think I somehow have the ability to get into the computers and minds of the staff at these casinos, there is no way to fake any of this. We may go from hotel staff, to casino hosts, to wherever else you might suggest. Everyone will verify. I play alone and choose my own bets. My facts will be corroborated across the line any way you want to slice it. Just, you gotta make it worth my while and I'm not going through all this for under fifty grand. I'll go up to a million and I'm not joking. I can provide that in a heartbeat. Bring it.

This isn't a wager. This is a done deal, and anyone who dares to show up is going to lose whatever cash he puts on the line here because it's a lock at my end. I speak the 100% truth and always have. Now it's time for one or more of you naysayers to put up or shut up from here on in. I am looking for a bettor.

Obviously you will question this post because of who I am. But to me this is a make or break moment for your credibility and this sites or will ignore it because of who I am.

You either will challenge MDawg yourself and meet him at his strip hotel and try to prove he is either legit or full of it.

Otherwise you are allowing a guy who claims to be beating all laws of math you believe in, rightfully. The guy claims he can read the cards, never loses and gets major public corporations to provide him with months worth of full comps while he beats them on every trip.

You can read the reports, but do you believe them? Most of your members who you know are legitimate think the guy is fucking with you and your forum. Surly someone like you who says he is out there for the player can figure out if the guy is legit or not.

You are in Vegas, he claims to be in Vegas and seems to be open to meeting you. Make it happen and do an honest report like you did with Singer. I’m sure MDawg is open to it. Sounds like a good opportunity to promote the site.



There's a point!

It is like if the Wizard was taking a wager that someone had indeed created a perpetual motion machine.

It would seem weird for any wager to even be bothered with!

The assumption would not be someone indeed managed to create a perpetual motion machine but that a con or hoax was underway

I mentioned "The Sting" in an earlier post.

The plot surprise was precisely that many people were in on the Sting including upstanding police officers.

If anything your demand for a minimum of fifty grand makes it MORE PLAUSIBLE that a long con involving casino staff may be in as a large payout would be needed to grease all the wheels.

A wager of $1000 would be less likely to be a fix!

I am not convinced that a perpetual motion machine is unreasonable. I would agree that it can't be done based on our current knowledge of physics and thermodynamics but that doesn't mean that in the future it can't be done.

It's easier to buy-in 3 times and win the session than to lose 2 sessions and win big on a 3rd, because you don't have to declare a losing session on your taxes.

Big deal! Ill give you $5,500 and I haven't seen it nor do I know what kind it is. What's the value of the watch? As I already said before... I suspect he works for someone who deals in Rolexes and that would explain a lot .
