Ahigh Suspension
when you're winning.
Quote: Zcore13He also said he was not going to report wins (and losses) because he has soooooo many people asking him for money.
Yeah, that's the other thing that surprised me about him reporting his (alleged) 4-figure win. hehehehe..
It's against his nature, he doesn't want to do it, and it's an exercise in futility.
Tick, tick, tick.
You should not compare DI's to alcoholics, you give alcoholics a bad nameQuote: MrVIt's like watching an alcoholic trying to limit himself to just one small glass of beer each day.

Welcome back, AHigh!
(Now let's get that $10,000 bet going, brah!)
Has anyone put up a betting line yet?Quote: Mission146Since AHigh has his own thread here, I suppose it is appropriate for me to welcome him back. He was unmanned five minutes ago.
Welcome back, AHigh!
-650 he will return just to tell everybody off
-700 he will return as if nothing happened and continued arguing
1000 to 1 he will apologize and become a nice, polite contributing member.
over/under 24 hrs before his first post
over/under on re-banning
Perhaps something like a football pool where you buy squares
edit: that's "infinity to 1" but can't get the infinity symbol to display, duh
Quote: RaleighCraps- hold down ALT key and type 236
thanx, Gordy, did that and got the double-dagger or whatever it's called, and got it again. Just not my day... ;-(
It almost seems like your system is translating the ASCII 236 code to double dagger, instead of the infinity symbol that my system sees.
Quote: chickenman... my Win 7 with IE9 renders the double dagger...
I am reminded of the old saying: "Computers are a lot like air conditioners; they generally work pretty well until you start opening Windows."
I will say this to you with all due respect to you.
Ahigh is the most closed minded person i have encountered in my 65 years. In my job i meet some nice
people and i also have to deal with some very difficult people, and he is by far the most difficult person
i have ever came across.
You go back and look and see what happens if you have any position different than his.
His ego is writing checks that his craps knowledge cant cash, and it is my hope that he does not cost
some people some serious money with his nonsense.
He is taking a different approach to the game, and he has every right to do that, however when you
think about it, it is the throw that each of us has that has to be constant enough to see where different
sets will produce different results and therefor give you a potential for profit. Ahigh wants to ignor or
marginalize all attempts to get a decent throw and tell people it does not matter i will just test your
results and tell you what set to use, never mind that the next day their toss could be completely different.
In a recent post by hornhighyo where he dared to disagree with ahigh, here was the typical Ahigh responce...
But more importantly, I get a little bit irked by people who think I need to learn how to throw thinking that the throw has already been conquered by other folks. I think that's a little bit narrow minded.
His child like diatribe about spelling and grammer and their affects on craps play or knowledge is an immature response to
anyone that challenges his god like opinion of himself.
He left this board because he said it controlled opinions and then started a board where only his opinion counts
and has time only for those that feed his ego. Mark my words as he turned his immature rath on me he will turn
that on others in his board if they dare to question him.
As long as he is respectful he should be welcome here, even as he is respectful of no one else.

I had to shake my head when he banned you for simply disagreeing with him, but then again I'm sure everybody (including you) knew it was coming. On the bright side, at least he didn't make any ridiculous accusations this time.
For example, he actually accused me of going to his forum using a pseudonym 1 1/2 months ago and criticizing him for his treatment of casino staff, and then posting another message last month claiming that he's gay. His proof? I posted a message here on WoV on July 4th. (I know...wtf?!? I'm still trying to figure out the significance of a random post on Independence Day.)
Anyway, I want to bet him $10,000 that I didn't do itwith the burden of proof resting 100% on mebut I have yet to receive a response.

You are right on the mark, unfortunately. I've been in Customer Service as Manager/Owner for the last 25 years. I see his type everywhere I go, but it is very rare few that are like him. No matter what you just can't talk sense with someone like that. He flip flops back and forth so much on things that you can never pin down where he's at. He tries to bully people. He hates criticize, even when it's intelligent and constructive.
I feel bad. I honestly think he has good intentions. He's just not able to control his ego and thoughts. The passion he has is probably why he has succeeded in his career(s). It's also probably why he is unable to have normal conversation, debate and friends.

Craps is such a great game, and there are so many very interesting people playing it, so many
ways of playing it, and some people are very good at it.
There is room for all of us and all our ideas.
Just be respectful of others and their ideas and enjoy the game.

Couldn't agree more about the "difficult personality" but in far less time than you I have encountered what are IMNSHO worse egos.
But my point has been right along that he was doing some interesting things with the tracking software, mechanical throwing device and inquiring minds like Mr V, Alan and others were open to see the investigation furthered to see what could be learned. Several chose instead to garbage-up those trials with incessant baiting and an objective mind could see that much of it should have led to warnings (yes, there were supensions for particularly egregious comments) to allow any progress on those fronts to be attained.
I'm not defending Aaron -- he could (and I stongly urged him to do) have simply blocked the haters, but he decided to stand up to them and got out of control. Still need a very thick skin on the Internet and stay civilized and not lower oneself to the level of the haters. Just desserts and all that...
At the end of the day I have learned a few things, retain a healthy skepticism (and agree that the skeptics should call out for proof), was amused by the Titanium dice, but most of all amused by those who fetch the latest from his board and post over here. I won't be cynical and suggest the range of motivations for THAT activity but this thread stands testimony to the reality...

I also found the work quite interesting, but I have to admit, I was quite happy when the project 'died'. I love craps, and what would happen to our game if AHigh did manage to prove that you could achieve a marginal advantage, either through a certain throwing style, or by setting dice that benefit from your particular throwing style? Every casino would drastically alter how craps is played.
I doubt anything concrete would come out of this experiment, but I hate to see it play out in a very public setting, on the off chance that something real was found.
It would be akin to having broadcast the decision to see if counting cards was feasible in BJ, and then experimenting in public with the process.
I personally side with the camp that believes that, akin to a professional athlete (pick any: pitcher, golfer) that somefew with an inborn talent, discipline, practice can achieve a small average edge at the table when coupled with a betting strategy linked to the specific bias obtained can win at the game. My belief is that so few would do so consistently that the casinos wouldn't even really notice let alone employ counter-measures. Who knows? The idea here is that pounding the table demanding proof is fine, but the ones willing to try may not have the chops. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
I also side with the majority who feel if someone actually can do it they are standing on the sidelines and not offering any public proof...
That is the jist of all this.
Other than to feed some ones ego what point is there to proving card counting or dice setting or anything else
that helps a person try to get an edge in gambling.
Casino's are not blind.
Would it be advantageous for a great craps player to work with ahigh or anyone else to prove how you get
an edge on craps only to find no casino would allow you to play?
There are in this country a number of poeple who have figured out how to make craps work for them, and there
is no doubt in my mind that the increase in craps classes and the number of people that take them have already
made it harder for those people to play. They are under more casino heat...etc
I dont see any way to fix that, people have a right to offer classes and people have a right to take them, and i am
part of that, and i am sure i add to the problem.
But teaching people to throw a certain way is not the same thing as saying this is a fool proof way to beat the
table.
Trying to prove to a casino that you can beat them, and then say you can show everybody else how to beat them , and then
asking to play at their casino.....well see i dont see that working

Still would not believe anyQuote: RaleighCrapsif AHigh did manage to prove that you could achieve a marginal advantage,
either through a certain throwing style,
of his results based from his coding of any of his programs used unless I saw ALL of his code he used
or his results matched exactly my results from my independent efforts.
(right ME?)
He had a program on his website that constantly showed errors
and made all sorts of excuses why the errors were there instead of saying "thanks for finding that'
and fixing correctly his code.
Instead the error filled program stayed until he removed it.
That is just great work!
he also filled an excel sheet with errors
but that was not really a worth while project.
Thanks!
But those of us that code computer programs, a nice group,
know we never make mistakes in our programming code
that matters
and if we do on those very rare occasions, it does not really change the end result that
comes from our efforts.

Aren't you a dealer in Reno?
I get your point but this is 2013 and we are far more advanced then were were in the 60's it didn't take long before counting was made public to really prove it. DI and various craps systems have been public knowledge for along time, yet no one has been able to prove it. Compared to back then the information and technology we have now is overwhelming. The time we have had plus the technology should have showed some proof by now.Quote: RaleighCraps

It's easier just to say, "nope it wasn't me" or to have whoever it really was to man up and admit what they did.
There's absolutely no way I'm giving you a dime. Not for a single thing. I don't ever want to meet you; so don't even expect me to cover a tip on a free meal coupon you provide. Hopefully that's clear enough, no?
