We'll miss out on some incredibly entertaining videos while he's gone, but at least Norm won't have as many people calling him and breathing into the phone to him? What the heck is that about?!?

Theories:
1. Publicity stunt
2. Enjoys being Bubba's prison bitch
3. GF stole all the money and he beat her up
4. Spent all the money on drugs
5. Lost all the money being a shitty blackjack player
6. The money is counterfeit/stolen and he doesn't want to risk passing it as bail. He has previously done time for armed bank robbery: http://incarcerationconsultant.com/about-me

really is a shame, though....sure looked like real bennies he was burning

I actually watched a video where he as raising his bet...like 10-fold, after the first hand of a 6 deck shoe (Eldorado) where you could see the TC was <1

'a fool and his money will soon part'

This is quite an early proverb in the English language and, as such, might be thought to contain the wisdom of the ancients. The notion was known by the late 16th century, when it was expressed in rhyme by Thomas Tusser in Five Hundreth Pointes of Good Husbandrie, 1573:

A foole & his money,
be soone at debate:
which after with sorow,
repents him to late

he seems like a good dude...sincere...had (has) some hardships...someone I'd likely be friends with (according to my wife...all my friends are losers....lol), but I really do wish him the best

Well, not counting the two arrests for assault against girlfriends and the long stretch for armed bank robbery, and the obvious scams he is pulling....

A good background resume for his career in incarceration consulting - a proven felon available 24/7, experienced in negotiating reduced fines and jail sentences.

Boy, I think a guy could make a decent living at this - only problem is, that contact with his client base might result in revocation if probation.

ok...so you got me there...wife wins again...ah..LOL

he did his time for the bank robbery...I don't know anything about the domestic violence...and not familiar with any scams he runs

I would never lay my hand on a female in a violent manner, ever...but does remind me of a funny (sic) joke:

what do you tell girl with 2 black eyes?
Nothing!...you told her twice already

again never had, or would lay my hands on a lady, but that one just cracks me up every time

**TeeFleek** · 04-11-2017, 02:29 AM

Yeah, I have watched this proclaimed "best in the world" drunk dumb ass. He employs a Hi Lo system for counting. He bets very high when the count is low or negative. Also doesn't have any sort of bet ramp in his videos. I've counted the cards when he bets high, and the count is always negative. He jumps from a minimum bet of $10 to $350 the next hand after the count is still low or negative. Then you will see in the comments some guy trying to justify his play of his huge bets by saying he's "shuffle tracking" as he's sitting at a A.S.M. table lmfao. This guy is a joke. I think he just films 100's of hours GAMBLING then uploads the videos that he wins on. Then says he counts cards. Notice he doesn't have any losing sessions? All it is, is to boost revenue to his website to purchase over priced garbage on there. Even has a book on there written by him. Everything probably in there is plagiarized from other books. So to conclude this rant about this con artist. He wants people to purchase stuff off his website by promoting card counting videos. In the meantime, he is gaining subscribers. The more subscribers a person has, the more believable his videos are going to be. As well as, the more views he will attain on his videos. Which correlates to the more money he makes. People make money off of views on YouTube, not subscribers. He can also add Ads in the future to his videos to gain more money from YouTube. His end goal is too have as many subscribers as he can get. Which translates into, guaranteed views from his subscribers. Which in turn, makes him more money. If you think about it, it's a good scam. Hes the only one doing it, and his videos are the only videos on YouTube that have real casino footage. It's not an honest living though. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. I'm not fooled, Mr. "best card counter in the country". This man is a con artist. His criminal record confirms that. But what he's also doing is, spreading false information that, if you count cards, you will never have a losing session. His change jar challenge of having $50 dollars, and then turning it into $2,000 dollars is bullshit. All this is going to do is steer people into believing that if you count cards, you will be rich. That's not the case. People will listen to this guy and will eventually go broke as this guys laughing all the way to the bank. It's really sad. Oh, by the way, I think I just gave this man a True Count. On a spread of 1-20, ill bet 1000000 that this guys fake. LOL

Sadly, there's no way to stop him.
At my age, volunteering to murder
him is a thought that has occurred.

I think he stopped himself asking for $5,000 to get out of jail is Waka a lot of people up. I got on his website I wanted to see you but this was bad I joined the army and all these people are talking now. He would ask for donations for animals to go to dog and cat society to help shelter them and feed them they're saying on there the people who sent the money he's kept it and not donated nothing. So I think he killed his own game

Michael Morgenstern was arrested for domestic assault while under the influence of alcohol for pushing and then choking his girlfriend (they were not married). His girlfriend has left him and moved out of the house with her child and also has a restraining order/no contact order against him. There are rumors that he is going to be getting bailed out sometime this week. So the train wreck show might go on.

He's a moron and a con artist. But while anyone who follows him is going to get crushed can't it be a good thing if a bunch of people watch his garbage videos go to the casinos thinking they're experts and get crushed from the standpoint of casinos possibly being more willing to let people who might be counting play?

**Tarzan** · 04-12-2017, 02:44 PM

I've often said, "There are gamblers in casinos that think they are a whole lot more talented than what they really are." I think we've just found one of the sources that could lead up to that situation.
