Albalaha,

  Is your "forum" open for discussion now or is it still a closed, one-sided affair?

  I ask because I haven't been there since you made it a closed system.

  AD

It's funny you should mention that.

I've got this nice pile of $100 bills sitting on the shelf (gambling money, obviously) and every now and then I wonder just how many of those are counterfeit.

As they only get used at the casino, I'm not too worried about it but if I had to take them to the bank for some odd reason, it wouldn't surprise me if a few of them are "duds".

Every time I'm posting something your reply (Albalaha) is against my post, I say black you say white, I say white you say black, what's your problem with me?!

That's our Albalaha.  He hates everyone's ideas equally. 

Don't take it personally, he's on a mission to rid the world of, well, I'm not really sure, but he's very passionate about it.

AD   

I kind of see where this thread started to derail and I think it can still come back 'online' but only time will tell.

We'll let it ride for a little while longer before chopping it up into two separate threads.

AD

I have always maintained that keeping good, solid records of your casino play is important to knowing if you're a winner or loser.

You will find that most people who do NOT keep records, are usually losing but just don't want to know just how much the amount is.

I do keep track of the monthly net and I reconcile the gambling account at the end of the year.

BTW,

  Are these actual shoes/spin results or are you just generating sessions for testing money management?

  If they are actual results from a game, can you provide the results instead of the W/L registry?

  I'd love to see just what method lost 23 wagers in a row.

  Thanks.

Deary me, why are decent folk banned, censored, muted by a moderator who has promoted some of the worst scammers in the gambling fraternity, yet this tread is allowed...

It stinks once again...  and no, i don't expect this post to be approved.

Deary me, why are we subject to your constant whining.  If you hate it here so much, why do you keep coming back under different usernames?

Get over yourself, act civil and even this username of yours can stay on the forum for more than a day or so!

Maybe some of you don't want to talk about ADulay - fine, but IMO when you got a moderator who was involved with scam sites (maverick and Ellis) and knew it questions should be asked.

You make that sound like it's evil or something.  I paid the full membership to join Ellis' BTC a long time ago.  Why does that make me a criminal in your mind?  Maverick was born out of the BTC site by a member who had a better idea and he broke away to build it on his own.  I was lucky enough to watch it build from day one and understood the reasons for each build and why it apparently worked.

And to keep everybody happy, I was NEVER, EVER paid anything to help Maverick explain his system play to the others.  As I understood it better than most, I helped anyone who needed it when they asked the questions.   Evidently helping fellow baccarat players with a system is some type of evil now.  Which might explain the next quote. . . . .

Andy doesn't really add much to the forum even though he apparently has vast experience with Baccarat

Because Andy has been burned bad from helping anybody with a cause.  When I see a discussion of intelligent baccarat, I'll stop by and participate, but only if I have something of value to add.  Arguing on the internet with people hidden behind their keyboards in their mother's basement is pointless.  I rarely even post on any of the forums I participate in as there are just too many people who just want to be argumentative.   I find it odd that you can literally be anybody you want on the internet and most people choose stupid for their alter ego.

You got to ask what the motivation is for a guy to be a moderator on all these different sites.

I'm glad you asked.  In EVERY case, save for my own private forums, I WAS ASKED to be a moderator by the site owner.  I have never solicited my internet service to any forum.  I have always been invited.  I can be asked to leave anytime and will leave gracefully and quietly.

Anything more you need to know, just ask.  Just because some members in the gambling community have a beef with Ellis is not a reason to complain about the unpaid, hired help.

....... to be a moderator on all these different sites.

For the record, I am currently a "mod" on THIS SITE ONLY.

AD (unpaid, volunteer staff)

All,

  Yes, it was me.   I removed Rolex-Watch/Johno/Mahatma and whomever else he comes in as at least until the end of the month.

  The continued harrassment and negative attitude towards other players, continued disruption of threads and overall bad attitude just got to be too much to let ride for free so he has been put on the "No Fly List" so to speak.  He is not banned.  He has been put on the "Group W" bench as it were.  If you're old enough to know what that is, you'll understand.

   He will be welcome to return later as a fellow gambler, as long as the never ending hatred demonstrated over the last several months is left behind.

   In a message earlier today he has stated that he "is out of here" as this forum is of no use to him.   We shall see if he'll keep his word.

   So when another brand new member shows up later this afternoon and starts slamming the active posters again, we'll take it one day at a time.

   AD

   

It sounds more like something may have happened to the original "group" at some scattered locations or perhaps one single location and it kind of went away.

With the former members now drifting in space, so to speak, if they show up here, they can get back into contact.

One would think if it was a "tight" group, they would have had their emails to reconnect, or any of a hundred or so "social" links.

A private forum is cheap, like in free so I wouldn't be too concerned about secrecy and people hiding valuable information on the casinos.

At least not here.

3) why do you need to press the enter key so many times, before hitting the post button, creating a lot of empty space on all your posts?

I've often wondered that myself! 

AD

As a side note to all of this, I've found that everyone I ever dragged over to the fronton to watch (and wager) on Jai-Alai really liked it.  ALL of them said they preferred it to dogs or horses for wagering.

For me, the main reason I never got into dogs or horses was the time in between races.   You can go a half hour or so at the track while Jai-Alai is a strictly timed EIGHT MINUTES between games!!

You had better have your picks ready and at the window to make the wagers.   That's also one of the reasons we did a lot of "advance wagering" as I generally had my picks ready for the entire session at one time.

All that and you can sit down right on the screen/mesh and literally be in the action on the court.

All this talk has the wife saying we really need to make a run over and catch the matinee one of these days.  Dania Jai-Alai is closed for renovation and a new casino setup but the Miami Springs Jai-Alai fronton is open.   Hmmm.   Road trip!!

AD

Believe it or not, I actually have that book here in the house.  I bought it a LONG time ago.

When I lived in Orlando, I was wagering $1100 a week, every week, on Jai-Alai.  At the time you could "advance wager" up to two days in advance of the actual game so every other day the wife and I would drive up and make the advance wagers.

I was seriously into computers and this was a time when almost everyone used pencil and paper to track what they could.  I wrote several very nice routines on those old computers and had DAILY printouts of which games and players to wager on.

When I left the area, computers still hadn't caught up with Jai-Alai and I had some very interesting offers to purchase my years of data.  I eventually gave it away to a very deserving older individual that I had struck up a great relationship with on Jai-Alai and all things worldly.

Now, everyone and their brother has the data basically handed to them with each program for a dollar!!  What separated my data from the current data was the depth and percentages that I carried over time.

Yes, I did show a nice profit year after year in the pari-mutuel arena, but it was literally a daily grind.  I loved the game so much I actually learned to play it from the pros and played in the open public leagues that they had there.  Jai-Alai is a beautiful game but I can only see it now when I head over to Miami or Dania to visit friends.   They closed the Tampa fronton about two weeks after I moved to the west coast of Florida.

That book that you mentioned had some good data in it but it is now terribly dated.  It did give me some great programming ideas at the time though.
