I'll be sticking around the free area

RollingStoned: Thanks for the clarification. So, I see how it works now. Everything is fine as long as we subscribe to the mainstream belief system. Having a contrarian opinion or approach is considered stirring it up. I'm sorry to disagree but there is a huge difference between winning at singledeck 1 on 1 and multiple decks/players.I'm not saying it cannot be done but the games are different and multi is more complex.

Multi-deck is generally NOT more complex using traditional methods. When you are using a complex counting system, it may be more difficult to implement it in multi-deck.

Good post HCB: Non-Troll = veteran forumites with mainstream opinion offering one-line condescending quips...and now they are "paying" to stay away from those with a different perspective. Hilarious. Pro Player = one who makes his living playing this game. Flash; Tarzan; DBJT, big player. Productive players = Those willing to put in the time, study, and effort to constantly improve their game to remain in the black and grow. Tthree, Nyne, Kj, 8675309, stevestheman, midnite toker, rollingstoned Up and Comers: Fierce desire to improve their game. Hate to lose. Hard-workers; sometimes misunderstood; often bashed by Non-Trolls; Hardin County Boy, Rainmaker; Legends of their own mind; Sadly those so deep in the red that there only contribution left to this game are one-line condescending quips. "moses and rainmaker living in the same parallel" - followed by stupid sign. and "Threads like these are the reason why many of us lose interest in message boards"; To which I reply Grow up and put your big boy pants on. I prefer to be a nice guy and give respect to others or say nothing at all. But if you're going to "suggest" your superiority over another with one line condescending qoutes, then yes, a load in return is a given. If you choose to give disrespect then don't cry about what you get in return.

How did DBJT get ranked ahead of Tthree and how did I get lumped in with a non-AP? Norm managed to go unranked. No wonder everyone hates the BCS.

Most definately. I agree that a complex system is extremely difficult, almost impossible in a multi-deck/player game. My hat is off to Tarzan that can actually do it. He's got to be a genius. However, us "mental midgets" lol can profit very nicely in singledeck 1 on 1 with a sound strategy and gameplan.

I believe it goes without saying that Norm is in a respectful class all by himself. Tthree - most knowledgeable. But a guess is he doesn't travel to play.

I'm definitely NOT "ahead" of Tthree and moreover I'm not even "pro full time" -- tried it a few years ago and long since decided the travelling lifestyle is not for me, hence cannot be a full time AP pro since travel is absolutely required for the lone wolf to have any chance at all.

On the contrary, what I'm working on with our team website is local-focused and part time emphasis for MOST (or even maybe ALL) team members... because that's gonna solve the problem I have, personally... which is namely being a long-time AP who is possibly reaching the end of the line for local play tolerance, but who is unwilling to travel, but also unwilling to give up on the game, or give up on taking money out of the casinos, LOL.

I told you, Moses should not be in charge of the BCS.

Sorry, an oversight on my part. I was saying you're best days are still ahead.

Using what I like to call 'supervariables', you can choose any indicator you want, give it whatever weight you want, and you can have an 0-10 team as national champion. The real BCS was not that bad, but I have seen marketing literature for the academic programs in bottom rung schools that have them ranked like 7th in the nation, just barely losing out to places like Harvard and Columbia. They do not use things like graduation rates and income projections. They do use things like square footage of the second floor of the library.
