Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!
I don't like this guy at all. He's a failed AP who desperately tries to sell what little he knows about gambling to the casinos as a consultant. But he's a failure there as well, as far as I can tell. That's why all his information is free. He knows more than the floormen, but who doesn't? I honestly believe that makes him think he's smart. Big casinos have special departments, and they know all this stuff already. They've invented ways to cheat that have never even been used yet.
I already asked you nicely and I'm not asking again. Quit trolling me. No one wants to read your insane ramblings, least of all me. You are not going to bait me into sinking to your level. If this isn't the end of it, I'll ask Norm for guidelines on how I may respond to your baseless attacks and thread derailments.Originally Posted by moses

So, lost this thread to personal attacks and mental masturbation.
Like him or not, APHEAT website does publish a lot of good information regarding a wide range of games/side bets, etc. Unfortunately, his target audience is casino management, a fact I do not like.

The worst part about this article is that it's more propaganda than anything. Every game protection see's Phil Ivey and uses this 1 off example to get the casinos freaking out about advantage players. "OMG THIS ONE GUY WON $12 MILLION! YOUR CASINO COULD BE TAKEN OVER NIGHT!!!"
The amount of Advantage Players with WINNING GAMES is low enough, let alone ones that could actually hurt or even effect a casinos bottom line. Yet this kind of propaganda is used to encourage casinos to spend MORE MONEY on "protection" then they would even possibly lose to AP's, and to boot, it doesn't even stop AP's... so now they're losing twice as much.
Much like how AP's and Casinos indirectly are both taking the ploppies money, this 'anti-ap' and 'game protection' propaganda is just another way for "game protectors" to indirectly take money from the ploppies as well. Thus, casinos are just giving up more of their bottom line listening to the hysteria from these people.
I've read some of his stuff. According to him, he gets death threats from players for the info on his site, which may be an exaggeration, but I generally believe it. I don't think he likes APs and I think he wants to be in casino management. My guess is that's why he targets casino management; he wants them to hire him.
I haven't found his info all that impressive. He does have access or knowledge of simulations that I lack. And a whole lot of spare time. But other than that, I've found zero use for anything he's ever written. It's either already known to me or completely inapplicable to me. I don't consider him a reputable source. I consider him biased. And those who can't do, teach. I consider him one of those as well. Except with my experience, I know it's not all that difficult. So being schooled by someone who admits he can't hack it--I wouldn't trust the source without verification. I have a similar level of education. Nothing about my education has anything to do with gambling, nor do I teach at a university. But Dr. Jacobson this, Dr. Jacobson that. Seems pretentious to want to be called a doctor outside of academia or a medical setting.
The main issue I have is he's easy to find and he's spreading awareness to dealers and floormen. Casinos know everything he does and more, but their first-line employees generally do not. He does nothing helpful, and makes life just a little harder for everyone.
