Quote: Zcore13It's even possible he goes on a rampage on his first post back knowing he will be nuked and trying to get one last jab in.
Good call. This could very well happen.
Quote: Zcore13IF he comes back it won't be long before he nukes himself. He can't control himself in a Casino, on his forum or here.
Whats funny is, he constantly complained when he was
here that he couldn't say what he wanted when he wanted
without getting censored. So on his own forum he tried
it for awhile, letting people say what they wanted. It didn't
last long. Now his forum is more censored then Germany
in 1937, to the point where he now screens all potential
members and you can't discuss anything but craps. Of
course he himself and say whatever he wants, just like
any dictator can. Which is what he really wanted all along.
Quote: MrVOh, baloney!
Nobody has a crush on him.
He's merely a lightning rod.
As such, he is a disruptive force,
Yeah. He's so disruptive that, while over 3800 of the active members of this site couldn't care less, about seven or eight creeps actually go to another site to find bits and scraps that they can use to perpetuate ridicule and derision... for 56 pages in THIS forum.
Perhaps that's not exactly a crush, but it is some type of disturbing obsession.
Can anyone sum up who/what this guy is.........in a sentence or two?
Quote: Zcore13I've been gambling for 27 years and have never had words with a dealer or Supervisor. Wonder what the difference could be?
Quote: MrVClass.
Oh. That's exactly the difference!
Certainly, in regards to the few members who drive this thread and who actually go to other web sites to find material to use for ridicule here, they are in a class by themselves!
Quote: KeyserSozeCan anyone sum up who/what this guy is.........in a sentence or two?
A positive spin:
A talented guy in many ways, who seems to purely love Craps. He has a real Craps table at home. His capabilities include the ability to "televise" using the internet. This resulted in one of the few times we have been able to have someone who claimed to be able to influence the dice have an exhibition. It was cool to have some of the frequent posters show, and also a Masked Man, and see some bets play out. Now that he has shunned the site this is all gone.
A negative spin:
Actually I think I will just let you read all the posts in this thread.
Quote: KeyserSozeI can't wait for this Ahigh dude to return to the forum. He hasn't been here since I joined.

Aaron Hightower, aka Ahigh, is determined, intelligent, curious, and gifted.
Alas and alack, he's also confrontational, disrespectful and argumentative.
He does walk the walk as well as talk the talk: see: machine he built

+2 and Soooo obvious... 560 posts and counting, over 25,000 views so there is a lot of envy among those who ran him off but continue to feed the fire. And, yeah, I get that he ran himself off by jousting with them rather than simply blocking them...
I've been wrong about this once before, but I don't think he'll return, he has moved on (I can't get the hat trick here even if he does return because the haters will instantly be on him like stink on shit and he'll be nuked for his response to their incessant baiting). It's really too bad some members cannot simply agree to disagree because the intolerance of a few has cost this forum a passionate guy with unique perspectives and enthusiasm.

What's with his bullying, his challenging and daring people to meet him in the real world?
As it happened, I took him up on it and met him at WoVCon; "Here I am!"
Nada.
I kept waiting for him to explain, through word and / or deed, why he'd challenged / dared me to meet him.
Did he want to continue the verbal sparring in person?
Did he want to bully and insult me to my face?
Was he crazy enough to try to take a punch at me?
Whatever, he had little or nothing to say to me, which is fine, because god knows I'd nothing to say to his face that I hadn't already posted on this board.
It was psychologically curious, not to mention very, very anticlimactic.
What is that expression about "hat" and "cattle?"
has antenna TV and no cable so he can have an extra
dollar a day to gamble with. Good god. Can you imagine
living in a house and doing without cable so a family
member can use the $30 a month at the casinos?
There's a word for this kind of behavior. Actually there
are several..
He's the guy that spends tons of cash on TV cameras and computer equipment.
"I am BROKE BROKE BROKE BROKE BROKE.
But I do have some new toys to play with at the house."
Makes no sense.

Well he'd better start saving up. I'm going to take $10,000 of his stash if I ever get that bet going with him.
To Ahigh: I know you and your fanboys are reading this. Let's make a friendly little wager on whether or not I am 'HendoRobert'. I will happily take $10,000 from you, baby!

You've got more chance of AZDuffman voting democrat. :)
Quote: thecesspitYou've got more chance of AZDuffman voting democrat. :)
He'd probably agree. LOL!
"A couple of days ago, someone randomly thinks that I might give them $10,000 cash...I think it was some strange contrived scenario where they were trying to imagine a way to forcibly have me produce cash for them. It seemed like they were trying to come up with a legal way to force me to give them money somehow."
Although Ahigh didn't mention any names, I did recently challenge him to a $10,000 bet after he claimed that I posted 2 messages on his forum:
1) an angry message last month blasting his behavior towards casino staff
2) a malicious message a few days ago claiming that he's gay
To Ahigh: Are you delusional, bro? Assuming that you're talking about me in the above quote, I'm not "asking" for your money. It's called a 'bet'. I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Are you? Hell, YOU could actually make $10,000 off of ME...if your silly accusations are correct. Just imagine all the craps you could be playing on my dime!
All talk and no action. That's the Ahigh way. lol
Quote: BeardgoatWhy ask him on this board? You know he can't answer
If you have a better idea of where to write him, let me know. He screens all of the members on his forum. Plus, he still reads this board all the time.
Also, his fanboys are still here, and he can always answer through them.
Quote: Beethoven9thI totally agree. His fanboys are definitely obsessed.
And you are #1!!!
Quote: DeMangoAnd you are #1!!!
Um...I'm not a fanboy. You are. You can't deny it either because I've seen your gushing messages on his forum. They sound like a teenage girl writing to Justin Bieber.
I agree. Ahigh's fanboys are clearly obsessed.Quote: DeMangoObssesion does that to people.
Simple. It's kinda like that old saying about train wrecks.Quote: DeMangoSo why do you continue to go over there?
Actually, I think you're obsessed with me. None of my messages were even directed at you, yet your obsession compels you to read and respond to my posts.Quote: DeMangoObssesion of course, there is no other reason.
...and you've contributed to the count.Quote: DeMangoAlmost 50 posts about Ahigh, just on this thread, amazing.
No, not really. For example, let's say someone made a ridiculous accusation against you. Considering the type of person you are, I highly doubt you'd let it slide.Quote: DeMangoAnd your signature, just more obssesion of course.
Quote: DeMangoNo, somebody has to stick up for Ahigh
Yeah, his fanboys.
Does he hold it on axis to help ensure a controlled outcome?
Quote: Beethoven9thLooks like Ahigh's gambling reports are getting a little too detailed. Now he's telling his readers when he urinates.
Guess the Ahigh-ster must still browse this forum regularly since he deleted his urination updates. lol

Tomorrow?
Quote: Beethoven9thBTW, I believe the Ahigh-ster's suspension ends in a couple weeks. Do you all think he'll be back?
Unless earth crashes into sun, he will return !
Wants to let it all hang out.
And who could blame him?
Go big, or go home.
The house edge still exists, but it is possible to end up in profit over a lifetime of rolls. There's no need to believe anything. You can prove it (and I and other have done via simulation).
He just doesn't get the math with statement like this and obsessions with the p-values (which he abuses), and his insistence on a certain standard of post (love me or get out). He doesn't want debate, so I don't understand why he doesn't just have a blog rather than a forum.
I hope he doesn't rejoin. The WoV is better without his sort of arrogance.
ZCore13
He has at least one supporter on this board: that must count for something.
There is little doubt that his confrontational style will result in him being suspended / nuked when / if he returns, but hey, who can resist watching a train wreck as it happens?
Let the thing play out.
At this point it looks like Ahigh stands alone. It's really to bad, at one point I though his show really could have blossomed into something successful if he were to open his mind to other things. If not for his craps __________. I think he's a good guy when it comes to most other things. It must be hard to love and believe in something so much and want something to work so bad, yet everybody seems to be on the other side or against you.
Quote: Zcore13My guess is he strikes with an overly abusive and nasty post knowing he's going to get banned for life...
I agree. The Ahigh-ster may have very well decided that he's gonna out in one last blaze of glory. Could be fun to watch. ;)

and losses because he's 'tired' of people hitting
him up all the time for money.
LOL! Sure, thats the reason. You've bragged over
and over that nobody has the guts to reports wins
and losses except you and now you're backing down
for some sissy-boy reason? Horse pucky. You're
tired of the grief we give you for making $2 and $6
and $1.98 bets. Nobody is asking you for money, you
constantly say you're broke. Get real..
