Quote: Beethoven9thQuestion: If Ahigh is on Station's sh*t list as a cheater, does anyone know if other casinos in Vegas can/will find out about this? (If so, then his craps career may come to an end faster than he thinks)
Eventually. It used to be casinos didn't share
info but not anymore. If you're in somebody's
book, all the casinos find out eventually. He
might end up in Griffin, which would not be good.

He posted that he takes Kelly to the casinos now, and he posted that his kid loves to play craps.

Oh, he'd be finished everywhere, no doubt. My point, which I failed to make, is I think he'd be less likely to make it in there due to its archaic-ness, and has other, more pressing worries.
Quote: 1BBO. S. N. is the new kid in town. Oregon Surveillance Network.
Also true. But such is the world nowadays that you don't even need a centralized database anymore. With a click, I got emails and updates from any casino across the country, many of them unsolicited; they were just offered. "Hey, this just happened here". With another click, I could request it from casinos across the country. Forget Griffin, OSN, BOLO, just "Hey, you know this cat Ahigh?", click send, and by the end of the day I'd have 100 replies. Forget big stuff that'd get you into Griffin, I could get the obscure stuff that isn't "big enough to mention" just about as easily.
The more and more that things like WGPC pop off, the more contacts are made and the more people participate. Forget tech, the age of info sharing is ramping up and that is what is breaking the trail.

It's classy to make insinuating jokes at the expense of someone's innocent relatives.
Ahigh put them out there in public for all to view and comment on.
He put up at least one video that shows him and his kids tooling down the highway in Las Vegas (youtube); his site has one with his wife in their kitchen (aptly eclipsed by a craps table in the foreground).
tupp, when someone puts a ball in play, don't complain when someone picks it up and runs with it.
His last post not related to Ahigh was on July 2nd, telling someone to go to another site that would be better for blackjack than WoV.

Right... unlike you, who is not disturbingly obsessed with Ahigh and whose posts are always exceptionally insightful and informative on the subject of gambling.
By the way, I have made ten posts since July 2nd (not including this one), and six of those posts have absolutely nothing to do with Ahigh.
Furthermore, had you bothered to follow the link to the "blackjack site" in question or had you bothered to read the series of posts which led up to the post with that link, there is a slim chance that you would have realized that I was actually scrutinizing a poster to determine if he/she was a cleverbot (or an utter troll). I wasn't trying to send users away from WOV.

On his forum he wrote that I am responsible for saying that he made a claim that Fiesta Henderson was using unfair dice. Tell him to get his facts straight. My only comments were about his reports about the Fiesta in North Vegas.
Please see the very first post in this thread from February 24:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/craps/13148-bad-dice-the-saga-continues/
Now look at the first post on page 23 of that thread where Ahigh goes into detail:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/craps/13148-bad-dice-the-saga-continues/23/
Then on March 17, Ahigh again reinforces the claims made in the original post about the Fiesta, see the comment here:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/craps/13148-bad-dice-the-saga-continues/30/
And on this thread, on May 7th, I wrote a cautionary post to Ahigh:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/craps/13148-bad-dice-the-saga-continues/43/
Tell your buddy I don't know anything about his claims about a casino in Henderson.
And remind him one more time that HE revealed who he worked for in a post from December of 2012. See:

Quote: tuppYes, and it is interesting that only you have decided to make them into targets.
Targets?
I wish neither of them any ill will.
In lampooning, I hope to shine a light.
a supervisor there who says you have to bounce the dice
off the back wall, not just touch the wall with them. Of
course Ahigh has to argue with him. He doesn't seem to
realize that when a casino says something is done a certain
way, thats the way its done in that casino. Now he's accusing
the same supervisor of fondling female employees while
they work. Yup, this can't end well, but Ahigh doesn't see it
that way.
He totally reminds me of Ken Uston in the late 70's. Uston
believed the casinos should allow card counting and refused
to let his team do any kind of moves that would cover their
counting in AC. Of course he was eventually banned in every
AC casino. But like Ahigh, he would get in screaming matches
with the pit over how he was being wronged. The casino is
always right, even when they're wrong. If you want to play
there without getting banned, you have to do it their way.
Ah, you beat me to it! I just read that myself less than 2 minutes ago.Quote: EvenBobNow Ahigh is trying to get banned from Binions.
The big difference is that Uston was an AP and a proven winner. Ahigh's a wannabe AP. (This isn't a knock on Ahigh; it's simply the truth) Even Superrick is warning him about his antics. We should try to predict the next place he'll get banned since he's had run-ins recently at Red Rock, Las Vegas Club, and now Binion's. What's your guess? lolQuote: EvenBobHe totally reminds me of Ken Uston in the late 70's.
Also, I can't believe he actually told the crew at Jerry's Nugget that he got banned from another casino. That's just plain nuts.
Quote: AhighI hear what you're saying, but this is what I'm saying...
WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE $%^# anybody who thinks they shoot good enough without rolling short rolls that ANYBODY IS WORRIED.
All the way down every roll, and give them a player card, and even win a bunch of money. THEY DO NOT CARE!!!
We could have been best friends had he came up with this little gem 6 months ago...

I'm new here, but Ahigh is mentioned often- its the only name I recognize (other than the Wizard).
He sounds like an entertaining cat- when is he returning to the forum?
ZCore13
not worried about that. Every guy I've even known
who talks like that is really worried.
SuperRick is right. Ahigh is giving DI's all over Vegas
a bad name and opening them up to even more
scrutiny. Shining a light on yourself in a casino, like
Uston did and Ahigh does, is never a good thing. You
want to leave the smallest footprint possible, not
wear a sign that says 'Here I Am!' And going into a
casino and telling them you were just banned from
another casino is laughable. Why would you do that.
Sure, that pit will be on your side that you were wronged,
and as soon as you're gone they'll be on the phone
finding out what happened so they can get rid of you too.
They all know each other and they all talk to each
other. One big happy family.
In Tombstone in the 1880's there were 110 saloons
and they all had gambling, mostly poker and Faro.
If you got caught cheating or were a suspected cheat,
in 48 hours every saloon in town would know about it
and you were finished. Its no different today.
Here's a pic of a Tombstone Faro table in 1881. Notice
the lack of cowboy hats. Only cowboys wore them and
they weren't 'cool' like they are now. They were the
low life working mans hat. Real men wore bowlers.
Quote: KeyserSozeI don't know this Ahigh dude...
He sounds like an entertaining cat- when is he returning to the forum?
Not soon enough!
he has no BR at all. He plays with what the old
timers called the 'knife and fork' money, the cash
you need to pay bills. Yesterday he complained he
was short on gambling money because he had to
shell out for his wife's new car. He says all the
time he has more money to play with because the next
mortgage payment isn't due till Sept.
This is a hugely dangerous way to gamble. Your BR
has to be completely unconnected to the money you
need to live on. Many gamblers have two banks
accounts, one is for the BR only. If you don't do this,
you're asking for big trouble. You're just kidding yourself
that you're a serious gambler if your paycheck is your
bankroll.

You haven't watched the whole thing unfold.
Think: "hubris."
Quote: Beethoven9thI don't think Ahigh plays with food/rent/bill money. Software engineers make a pretty good living. Now he may not be as rich as he has claimed, but I'd be surprised if he's hurting financially.
If you add $0.33 to this, you can buy a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum, but here are my $0.02.
I think the only, "Fault," that I could find with AHigh is in attention-seeking behavior. This isn't merely by way of my opinion, as it is almost by admission on his part. He goes in and gabs with the dealers about dice setting, or counting faces, or whatever it is he is doing/trying to do at that time, he brings a stick into a casino to replace a house's broken stick and he makes complaints about flickering lights and, "Ghetto tables."
I've never really seen a table that disgusted and/or offended me, but I think that the majority of the gamblers here would agree on a simple course of action, which is not to play at that table anymore. That's what I would do, simply stop going, my assumption is that if there is a flickering light, staff is already aware of it and doesn't need me to tell them. Of course, I wouldn't avoid a house simply because of a flickering light, either.
That's like going to Gaming over his ban at Fiesta Rancho, at least, I think that was the one. He thinks there is any chance of it mattering that he perceives their reason as illegitimate, and there's not. A business can boot you basically for any non-discriminatory reason, maybe they just don't like the look of you and tell you to get lost, nothing you could really do there except leave.
In this sense, I think that the gambling is simply a means by which to get attention and he is being 100% genuine when he says he, "Bets small," or makes statements otherwise alluding to the fact that he doesn't get in over his head financially. It doesn't seem that he has a separate gambling budget, but if you read some of his recent posts in his, "Losses," thread, it doesn't seem like he'd need one. I could easily weather that type of action without financial difficulty, and I make a fraction of what he does (I believe) and am worth a fraction of what he is, in terms of net value.
This thread kind of feeds into the whole attention thing, so I'm quite sure the existence of this thread doesn't bother him at all, quite the contrary, I imagine.
Quote: Mission146A business can boot you basically for any non-discriminatory reason, maybe they just don't like the look of you and tell you to get lost, nothing you could really do there except leave.
Maybe he could argue that it was a discriminatory violation of the law for the casino to bar him for bringing in the mechanical device by claiming he brought it to keep him calm and centered, much like what people claim is the justification for bringing in their service animal.
Quote: Mission146

But thats only recent. Just a short time ago he was
losing $600 and $1000 and lost I think over $3000
in one day awhile back. He had to cut back because
he lost so much and had bills to pay, like getting
another car. This betting small thing is very new.

That's it! That's the justification for grown men who go out of their way to dig for dirt on another website, and then cross post up to 45 pages trying to disparage a person who isn't even present to defend himself.
Ahigh's "hubris" is at the root of it all.

Nobody digs up anything, its reported on a daily
basis for all to read on Ahighs site. All we do is
discuss it here. Why you even care is a mystery.
ZCore13
casinos like Silverton and Gold Coast and Rancho
because they are easiest to get in and out of fast.
If you've ever been in Vegas with a car, the Strip
casinos are impossible, it takes forever just to hit
3 of them. So off strip and Downtown is where you
play if your in a hurry.

Oh, I don't know... maybe it's due to having a sense of fairness and decency.
Perhaps a better question would be: Why do you and the others care enough to go to another website and then cross-post on and deride and individual for up to 45 pages?
