Freighter. You are derailing this thread. Lol. The question was can you make money. The first answer was "hard data." Stealthy answered the question as well as it could be in the next post.
We have simply supplied hard data that you better have one helluva sense of humor. Thank you for your contribution.
I bet it's the last time Clint will ever ask that question.

Exoter 175: "Don, on the other hand, doesn't own the forum, and the only interest in suggesting "Buy my book" or "read my book" is to further his royalties."
You're so full of shit it's coming out your nose. You are so painfully ignorant on the subject that you don't have a clue. If I listed 5,000 things that contribute to my personal wealth in this world, royalties from BJA3 wouldn't even make the list. 19 years' worth of royalties of the book don't even show up on my balance sheet. Your accusation is beyond aberrational; it's insane. Your comment is that of a madman.
"So let me state something real quick, right now. I DO NOT begrudge Don for wanting or trying to push the sales of his book, it is wonderful."
I have ZERO interest in pushing the sales of my book. I don't spend five minutes a year thinking about it. On average, I would say that I sell about one book a day in a good year. The royalty is about $2.25, but the book is now being sold at a 40% reduction on LVA, so the royalty would be much less. I don't make $1,000 a year on book royalties, and if you think that money matters one iota to me, you're out of your fucking mind.
"I DO begrudge him for pretending like it isn't the intent or even a concern of his when posting. Simply reading his posts you can tell he's full of shit when he denies it, and perhaps I take Honesty and Truth a bit more serious than others, which is why it chaps my ass a little."
You're a fucking asshole. That statement is pure, unadulterated horseshit. I quote my book in answers for one reason only: I've already answered the question in print and I am telling the poster where he can go to find a clear, detailed, complete answer to his question. It's either that or spend hours a day answering the same thing a hundred times, and I don't have the time or the inclination to do that.
I'm done here. Have the last word. Write whatever drivel you like. Those here who know me well know that what you've written is so far off base as to be delusional. And Norm would be the first to tell you that. He and I are currently involved in two business projects regarding companies valued at $30 million. Do you think I give a flying fuck about a $2-a-day book royalty, you pompous ass?
Don
Don. I gotta admit, I'm impressed with your new version of the English language. You are starting to sound like a regular guy. Is this the "Don" ing of the Age of Aqarius? I think Jupiter just lined with Mars.
I recommend spending 3 days worth of royalties on a Coney Island Dog. You've earned it.
Personally, I would have substituted bull shit for the word drivel. But if this was a gymnastic routine, I'd hold up a 9.

Best post from Don, ever!!!! Sometimes we need to know a bit more about him and this helps. I really appreciate Don taking the time and interest to be on these forums.
As regards Don's book. It is for the pros. For recreational players with lesser goals, playing at local casinos, it's too much info. I bought it the first time but not being a math person or good with charts, I could not utilize much of it. So, my idea now is to get the book, post the question and let Don or one of you tell me where in the book to look for the answer.
Before you you jump on me for knocking the book (which I am not. The book is like the Bible and if I need to find something, I need the pastor to tell me where it is), about 22% of the reviews on Amazon are not positive. Again, most of those are by low level card counters.
Pastor Don has been angered. It is raining really hard and lightning outside. Coincidence? I can not be certain.
It is good to see the more human side of Don, though I wish it was not his angry side. Perhaps Don needs a snickers bar too.
