    Are we talking about a team of ploppies here? Do they all invest their money into a joint bankroll in order for one player to play at a disadvantage? I didn't know such things existed outside of fraudulent investment schemes. Why would people give their money to someone else to lose for them?



    Your idea does not allow you to bet below the house minimum. It achieves nothing.



    Not more than giving your bankroll to a ploppy.



    Haven't you changed your handle enough over the years? Ion, Parpaluck, Neutron Bomb, North Wind, Fon Chee-U, Win21, suru, ZeroMystic, Betpro, North Wind, Jomoats, falling star. Can't you take a hint?

    Your do nothing argument is worth its' weight in Bull S.... .

    All players can benefit from team play.

    You have a blind spot that even glasses couldn't help.

    You scored four out of ten. I hope you do better at BJ. What casino instructed you to try and kill the post?
    You're not very good at it.

    Delusion can cost you your BR. I doubt anyone here sees things the way you do. Sonny is well respected for his expertise so trying to discredit someone like that almost always destroys your credibility. You didn't have any to start with so there is no loss there. Many of the most respected posters on the site has taken the time to tell you what they think. Rather than learning from that you want to get into a pissing contest with those that have earned respect with many years of posting history across many AP forums. That is a very bad decision if you want to establish credibility. You can do that and eventually establish credibility by learning you were wrong and having posts that show you have learned. Continuing a pissing contest with someone that has credibility built on years of forum posts on the subject lust causes you to continue to erode your credibility if that is even possible.

    Generally people that get into trolling spirit in their posts are ignored except when it can be useful to rookies to point out where and why they are wrong. They usually don't get it and ramp up their trolling spirit when in fact comments are not even intended for them because they have shown they will not learn and have no hope of developing any credibility. You learn the most when you are proven wrong. Smart people admit when they are proven wrong and earn respect. Stubborn people get entrenched in argue mode and refuse to admit when they are proven wrong which just makes them look even worse. I have found this kind of advise is rarely obeyed and the posters usually end up being banned but I try to help when people start down this road by pointing this out. You can take it or leave it but I have done my part to help you if your reason for posting is to learn and inform others. If your reason for posting is to troll or stubbornly stick to a position that is wrong so be it. You will end up being ignored and possibly get banned. Happy posting.
