I am too dumb to know exactly what pseudonymous meant. Had to look it up. Some on this forum do think highly of themselves, but that's Internet forum standard anyway. As a pseudonymous poster, I try not to come off as "I'm better than you." It's an attitude i don't really care for. The most informative posters here rarely seem to have this attitude which is refreshing to see.

Could he be talking about Ahigh lol. BTW, I saw Ahigh at Silverton last week and shook his hand(a weak shake at best) at the craps table and introduced myself as Mdh. He had chips in his hand and I was hoping to see him shoot, but he just stood there shooter after shooter letting the dice go buy him when it was his turn. Oh well maybe next time.

He didn't want to show you the magic. He's probably not very happy he was rated the worst out of all the forums that Mr. S. was able to post at.

I'm guessing he started there with something and edited himself, either out of kindness or in self-defense against flames.

I don't really worry about flames and I had a whole review of how great this site was --- highly recommended (the highest rating) for the intelligence of its posters. I do love when reviewers take a single sentence from a longer review and review that sentence. I once had one of my books reviewed where a single sentence became the focus of the whole review. I actually thought it was a pretty good sentence.

I did have a couple of boards that I thought were vomitous but I jettisoned them. I just forgot to remove that review level.

Someone mentioned I didn't mention one of my books. Darn! Here is my latest: "Confessions of a Wayward Catholic" available now on Amazon http://tinyurl.com/kvux22v. Just read the reviews from some heavyweight reviewers. (Whew! Don't want to give up my reputation of pushing my books!)

Lol, Frank; the "Confessions" blurb was below the forum reviews, so you didn't miss out.

Here's another quote from the video: Speed Count is so simple a twelve year old can learn it in about 15 minutes. It makes you wonder why anyone would buy the DVD for $129.95 or pay $495 for the seminar.

I bought the pdf version of the book. For the 5 years I have been using it, I am in the positive, have seen countless comped concerts, partied with celebrities, been comped suites in AC and Vegas and been on one hell of a ride so, thank you Speed Count!!!

I think that seminar started out at $895.

You what's funny? An acquaintance of mine has been playing at Revel for the better part of this year. He's slightly above break even and the casino just pulled all his comps and offers. I don't have all the details but this person is reliable. He's also been half shoed on the main floor just outside Ultra Lounge. Be careful, Ace.

Has several message boards on blackjack, video poker and roulette. Has a high intellectual level with some big-name writers such as Don Schlesinger, Norm Wattenberger, Viktor Nacht, Karel Janecek, George C. and pseudonymous others who post quite often. Really slow at times but sometimes the discussions are quite riveting. Highly recommended.

Still, using such identification also allows posters to be nasty, small minded, sarcastic, arrogant and downright dumb (seriously, anyone who disagrees with me must be dumb).


Frank I find it hard to believe that every gambling board wouldn’t welcome you with open arms!
All jokes aside, some of the guys that run boards only want their views to see day light on their boards, to them there should be no opposing views to what they are writing.

One of the things about any board is you always have the name calling, when there is a disagreement, and that is why it’s so hard to get people to post on them! Some posters take offense to anybody disagreeing with them. You can see where it got those boards as members fade away.

If there was no disagreement on these boards, nobody would learn a thing!

Some boards are nothing more than propaganda machines for what they sell, if they aren’t selling it at the time, because they haven’t figured out a way to make money off it, they don’t want anything written about it. Once they figure out a way to sell it, they become all consumed in the latest and greatest thing out there that they can sell you!

Frank just think about this for a few minutes, how many boards would there be if they didn’t have something to sell? Would you even bother to post on any of these boards if you didn’t have something to sell?

Typical sweat the money joint. They should move to downtown Vegas. Oh wait, no respectable or disrespectable casino would hire anyone outside of a Bathroom Attendant with "Revel" on his or her resume.

Well he rates him "ok"

The owner of the board claims to have discovered the new improved BS, which brings the vig to zero......and its "ok"

and if you ask for proof of the claim...you get censored or banned.....and thats "ok"


in sports betting

The owner touts that...it matters little WHO you bet but how you bet who you pick that matters....and its "ok"?

If I were a newby gambler.....patricks is the last site I would need to stumble upon.////but its "ok"......cool

alot of deletions and bannings, and threats by patrick......the board owner....the person who calls himself "a dominant force"....and thats "ok"

geez..it kind of ruins the credibility and makes one question the total honesty of the ratings

At least he gets around the country to gamble, press the flesh, and feel the pulse of casino gamblers.

Unlike the guy who modestly calls himself "one of the most dominant forces in the world of gambling today, " a guy who seemingly hasn't been to Las Vegas since the Wise Guys ran the place.

Hell, he's probably afraid they'll plant him in the desert for the Honeymoon Suite con.
