"The Color of Blackjack" – My Observations

[ZeeBabar]

Zee's response:
Wow, quoting a post from over 3 years ago to attack a poster rather than their posts. I guess I have an obsessed poster that views me as an enemy. All I did was say what everyone was already thinking. Extorting backliners is the kind of move that will quickly get you barred from the casino. It also may be illegal. It is a very low thing to do. You think quoting my very mild criticism of your reprehensible behavior that was posted over 3 years ago makes me look bad? Also posting about defamation of character with a post that does the same is extremely hypocritical.

Pointing out bad advice given by other posters is what this forum is about. It is not my fault your posts constantly give very bad advice to other forum members. If you gave good advice I would follow up your posts with a +1. The point about character in this post was intended to get you to understand how the casino will see you and why they would have little tolerance for someone that extorts money from their patrons. There is a reason the casino doesn't let people bet on your side bet. What you said you do is why many casinos don't allow scavenger play or betting on another side bet. They know some people are slow that they will not give the person their due. They will try to get profit from other patrons rather than the casino. The casino can't get involved and doesn't want the bad blood you and others cause in their casino. It was really bad advice and deserved to be pointed out that the casino would view it as a low life they don't want to have in their casino.

I guess you are saying long posts is the same thing as suggesting people use reprehensible tactics that are probably illegal. Sometimes you amaze me at how messed up your thinking process is. I don't need to assassinate your character, you do it everyday with your posts. It is the duty of the other forum members to point out all the bad advice you give. Unfortunately most that would do so probably have you on their ignore list. That means the rest of us have to be more vigilant.

Enough of the distortions and trying to continue all the lies. First, I am not into the advice giving business, No one asks me for advice and I dont give advice. I might occasionally offer my opinion but its not exactly advice. There are far better HiLo players than me on this forum aqnd elsewhere. Moreover, I have pointed out that I am a part time recreational player. You and others have made it clear to everyone that I am a poor player who is mostly incompetent. As can be seen, I point my actual experiences, and ask questions on this forum (often repeatedly). No one who reads your posts will take anything I say for advice.

I do NOT extort anyone. Again a lie. In a long forgtotten thread on sidebets, I had said that I tell others at the table that if they bet on my side bet, that IF they win, I would get the original $1 or $5 bet. It bis below you to keep repeating it. I can dig up some threads where some great players called you out for stupid posts but I wont. I thought you were a smart AP, but you sure are a poor person. Try showing some discipline and stay off my posts.

It is advice if someone follows it.

As can be seen, I point my actual experiences, and ask questions on this forum (often repeatedly). No one who reads your posts will take anything I say for advice.

And the more experienced players give a more realistic explanation of what to expect. Then you get all pissed that they didn't pat you on the head and give you a cookie.

No one who reads your posts will take anything I say for advice.

Newbies have stated they think you sound like you know whwat you are talking about and are either following what they took as you giving advice or intend on following what they took as you giving advice. You can say it isn't advice all you want but if people take it as advice then it is advice.

The quote you made was from you saying that if someone back bet you with a big bet you would make them pay you so you didn't hit until you busted. That is what my comment that you quoted was about. You said you would and/or have been doing that. How is threatening to go out of your way to harm someone unless they pay you money not extortion. That is the very definition of extortion.

If you post things that people disagree with they will make a dissenting post. That is what a forum is. If you don't want dissenting posts stop posting stupid posts. Most of the people that regularly corrected you have you on ignore so the ones that still view your posts must work overtime to limit their damage.

[*]In making the insurance decision, disregard the dealer’s Ace in the running count (makes sense – I didn’t know that).

Interesting, is this the case for balances counts as well? I assumed it would have been factored in to the index

I just received the book today.
I'm eager to read it.

I'm surprised how "small" the book is tho, for a such price I was expecting something bigger...

Maybe you should try a bigger count instead of squeezing out a small additional gain from KO. Or buy a bigger book.

I do have maybe 15 BJ books, I just don’t feel comfortable enough with any TC conversion counts.
That will come a day, maybe,

I think true counting an unbalanced count is tougher than true count conversions for a balanced count, but that is a matter of opinion.

Not that much with COBJ honestly.
I've just finished reading it, Dravot has a good way of teaching how to TCKO with "visual memory" which is quite great.

Then why are we still in this thread? You've found the answers you are looking for, right?
