Hi Alrelax, I don't expect you to not be mad.


I just discovered that I have been seeing Narcissists everywhere for the past year. It turns out that almost all of us have one to two characteristics of Narcissism listed out of 12 items in the DSM-5. The DSM-5 says that to be an NPD the person must have 5 or more characteristics to be listed as having NPD. I have at least 2 characteristics myself. I was totally wrong to suggest that you are NPD.


Now you can see that I don't really care where you get your donuts. I hope you don't really care either or will soon not care.


Have a better and nice life,


I apologize sincerely,

Mark

Mark,

You are what you are, the same as myself. 

The only mistake I kind of made on this board was the 'Saturday Night Live' type of skits converted into the written words/posts I had made regarding systems and such.

The rest of just about everything I ever posted, deleted and re-posted, posted, has been my experiences, downright real, justified if needed and absolutely the truth or what I believed to the last word.  Not, words of hate and spite and words that attempted to demolish or put someone's light's out, so to say. 

Problem is, so many are exclusively inhibited and as well--introverted on here.  They picture just about everyone else the same or just below themselves with little to no imagination, experience or optimism.  All of course, IMO.

I thought for a while--we were about on the same level, play--experience wise that is.  But, you did (again IMO) go a tad bit too far with the medical, personal and professional valuations regarding myself.  Why?  I can't really say.  Maybe I was just there. 

I seriously have been through some pretty tumultuous times and experiences in my life from being affiliated through marriage with NYC Asian Triads to all out criminal activity regarding adult businesses and financially related activity and businesses, to non gambling and non criminal professions that were just nasty-dirty and extremely difficult years with the history of them, etc. 

I generally (unless pun is intended or some other form of humor) tell the truth with explicit and redundant tenacity on here.  Yes, I have been on other boards and self banned myself or been banned for generally not caring one bit about what they stand for and got in some two bit 'back alley' fight with some internet troll.  Like I did on the other forum I last told the Admin to ban myself.  I just got that NYC 'don't give a F*** attitude when I take a stand for something', etc., etc. 

As far as accepting or not accepting an apology of the type you made, I honestly see no reason to have even brought up what you did.  You have nothing to prove here the same as myself, although I have tried at times, why---I could not answer except to say, I write the honest and unforgiving truth. 

There is a way to gamble and there certainly a way not to gamble.  The same as writing on the board here or anywhere else.

Just because someone gambles differently than myself does not make him or her inferior or superior to myself or anyone else for that matter.  Likewise, the way others write and what they write about or have belief in, the exact same would have to hold true as well.  If we were all the same, this world would really suck a heck of a lot more than it already does. 

Thanks, Alrelax. 

Good to see people putting their own ego's aside.

big thumbs up !

It is now 3.30 am.  I worked about 40 hours out of the past 48 hours. I just got home and cleaned up and jumped in bed. I have to wake up by 6 am to be in the office to unlock and open for my crew of guys in at 7 am.  I would have slept on my comfy couch in my office the exact same as last night.  But I have no shower there and I need one before I start another day.    I also want to grab all my little kids presents for Christmas and wrap them beforehand weekend, as I always show them by Halloween how Santa drops by between his runs and leaves stuff off for my 3 wonderful never ever do anything wrong perfect kids!  LOL.

So, Mark, yes. I kind of skimmed around your apology above where you are apologizing for openly berating and humiliating me on the board, i do forgive you 100 percent, its been bothering me.  There, you happy?  I would not have said it if I didn't mean it, sincerely, Glen.

Thank you Glen.

We all make mistakes, personally, business wise and financially.  But I would like to say, I do believe Gizmo, AKA Mark, is a good person and of course, extremely knowledgeable in the gambling/casino world.

I talked to him today and I buried that proverbial hatchet.  He is most welcomed back here with a clean slate.

I would be grateful if he accepts my offer to return and calls BetSelection.cc home. 

Respectfully,

Yep, talked with Glen today. No more BS back and forth. We all, including myself, have demons to forgive and forget about, especially myself.

Time has helped everything.

Glen knows how to win.

I wrote a thread that supports everything that I have theorized. This July it will have been 4 years since I published it. I sold my last class to a single student around 5 years ago. I waited one year and then wrote the "Reading Randomness" thread. It has more views than any other thread over at that website forum. That thread is a full, in the wide open, discussion of everything, all for free. It is supported by free software that I built in order to practice it and to validate the theory. You can download that software there for free.

A few people have gone on to perfect the skills explained in the thread. They are skilled at Reading Randomness. They know and have experienced the "Global Effect" and the "Elegant Pattern." Some have stuck to the thread's validation experiment. Many have spent time learning this and have never contributed to the threads discussions. So who knows how many use the technique?

I defend my ideas against the onslaught of the never ending assumption projected by the math oriented players that frequented the thread. Even here the "mathZombies" feel the right and privilege to attempt to cancel me. I'm done with that. There are too many people now that see that this has taken off as a viable method to take advantage of the casinos through observation, situational awareness, and skill.

There are still people in different stages of learning about gambling that feel the need to lecture everyone on the realities and beliefs of statistical established norms. I expect to change the world's view on this. That includes the beliefs that the casino always wins. The cassino has a mathematical advantage. The games are rigged to win in favor of the casinos. The casinos win because they have an 5.4% advantage built into the game. This implies that the known beliefs about statistical math is also wrong. So it's a big deal observation. I call it "Coincidental Change." It's based on a comparison to "Variable Change," a well known concept derived in counting cards in Blackjack. 

I also discussed this at the website forum developed by, I think it's Steve, who sells targeting computers. He allowed it to be discussed away from the original thread that was at the other forum. It became tiresome and for some reason or another I stopped supporting discussion over there. The primary discussion is at the Reading Randomness thread. I just mentioned Steve's forum because several people over there became masters at the skill and validated the experiment.

Anyway, that is all that has been happening. I discovered a video that changed everything for me. It is from a guy that has all the truth about what is happening in casinos wrong but has almost all the truth about strategy right. I based my Reading Randomness thread on his ideas. I was about to quit when I discovered this video. Everything changed after seeing that video. I could see a way to control my weaknesses.

Actually how incredible this definition applies to a former US president.......and the danger it implies.

What are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder?

Sense of self-importance.
Preoccupation with power, beauty, or success.
Entitled.
Can only be around people who are important or special.
Interpersonally exploitative for their own gain.
Arrogant.
Lack empathy.
Must be admired.

Gizmotron last posted here on BetSelection.CC August 5th, 2023.  So it's been right at 1 year now with his absence. 

That is why I posted the other thread with my attempt to contact him.
