I am writing a review about bj21.com and would appreciate some input from regular posters.
Here is what I'm looking for: your thoughts on what differentiates bj21 from other sites--either positive or negative features. If you have anything you'd like to share, I'll need them by Thursday at the latest. Please send to: Kevin@kevinblackwood.com. Thanks!

Kevin, I'm surprised that no poster has yet responded to your request in this thread, thus I'll do the honor. I prefer Wong's site over Viktor's & other's because I sense some good vibrations & satisfactory participations of posters around this forum. Here are some of my personal experiences and examples off the top of my head:
1) Kingambler's system
When I asked BjTraveller about the system, he implied that he didn't believe it, and that he preferred only good games, not voodoo systems.
2) Gambling problems
When I posted the problems, I got good replies, especially Dave Jay's.
3) Questions about exposed aces & monkeys
When Snapper posted about the ace off the top question, good replies were followed.
Hey it's good to know about the rules of thumbs for:
Exposed ace: betting 40% of bankroll, if doable.
Exposed monkeys: betting 10% of bankroll, if doable.
4) Question about "Kard"
When I asked that question, I got the answer!
5) Question about DD's lawsuit
When I asked that question, I got the answer too...even SSR loves & calls it "outstanding."
There are some negative things about this forum (i.e., busting & barring of me!), but since this page is free, and I can live with them. Peace.
> Kevin, I'm surprised that no poster has yet responded to your request in this thread,
How do you know they have not; he requested replys be emailed to him.
If you want your's read, maybe you should do the same.
What purpose does it serve?
It isn't the website, it's the posters who post on the websites that make it what it is, good, bad or indifferent. It has nothing to do with Wong, Parker, Rogers or Nacht, so exactly what is your goal and what will you do with those who offer responses to you?
Seems to me you'd have better things to do with your talent.

If you read my post, you will see why I am asking for input: I am writing a review and want to touch on the pros and cons of the site.
Thanks for the rather patronizing comment, doesn't say much for your temperment when challenged.
It appears you are soliciting comments from the POSTERS, not those affiliated directly with the website. Therefore, your "review" is based upon nothing to do with the website, just opinions of those that post.
Let's see now, I've had about a half dozen of my posts busted on BJ21, should I write and tell you I think Wong is a jerk, perhaps Al Rogers? How can you discern validity in what I would have to say about BJ21 if I had an axe to grind? How can you put any value on what posters say in cyberspace, when in fact you claim you are writing a "review" about BJ21 or other gaming websites? You are in essence then writing a review of comments you will have received and taken them as gospel. I wonder what weight you'd put upon comments from the ilk of Cameraman Joe, or Dr. Wogga, perhaps you weren't around then, but I doubt they'd give rave reviews to anything, let alone BJ21. Their "opinions" would be biased and totally unfair as they would hammer the hell out of BJ21. So, if ten people respond to you with nothing but negatives (none of which you could validate), would this sway your opinion for your "review" and then point a jaundiced eye towards BJ21?
Just for the record, I get along with about 99.9% of people, both on the boards and off. I disagree with what you are trying to do, and suggest you do your own research based upon fact, not rumor, conjecture or innuendo, I think that's what real journalists do when presenting a document for public view.
Additionally, for the record, I've met both Wong and Rogers, both upstanding, good and decent people, whose company I have thoroughly enjoyed.
GL with your "reveiw".

Appreciate the input and everything you said makes sense.
Kevin, I read somewhere that you're a biblical archaeologist, right? Assuming so, I think you would have more fun in digging for Jesus' tomb than digging info around here. When I read about the lost tomb of Jesus, I think of you. Just think of this newspapers' article with heading: Kevin Blackwood's discovery of Jesus' Tomb, and with photos in which Kevin showed off (1) Jesus' hand & foot bones with rusty crucifying nails in them, and (2) Jesus' ossuary with the inscriptions: "Jesus cruxified under Pontius Pilate, son of Joseph & Mary." Instead of writing about bj stuff, you would write the best seller: "My discovery: Jesus' Tomb" and make millions of dollars. I just think out loud, and so please don't mine me, lol.

are you writing a review? If not specifically, then I think we deserve at least a general answer. I see where Stanford wrote a testamonial for your book, so I'm assuming he's okay with your "review" intentions. Thank you.
because it is the clearest... easiest to read and post. I believe it is also the most read bj website with most posts... what is the reason posting at a website that aill be read by little people and get low responses?
Thanks to the people who did respond. Your input will help my research (which I am quite capable of doing). However, I do want to apologize to WC if he found my earlier post condescending. I did not intend it that way. Apparently I am not as clear a writer as I thought since I felt my original request was fairly straight forward, but evidently, that was not the case.
Anyway, thanks again for the responses!

Yo BJT, after reading lots of your posts here, I can sense that you've really enjoyed chatting with APs on this page. In some of your posts you mentioned that you had earned 6-figure-winnings during 2005 & wrote a book about it.
How about for 2006? Are you as lucky in 2006 as in 2005? During 2005 you had written "80,000 bj Miles" which detailed your gambling activities in that year. For 2006 have you written another book similar to the "80k bj Miles?" Hey keep those books coming. Hollywood will make a movie from your books someday.
> Are you as lucky in 2006 as in 2005?
For the most part I imagine BJT's 'luck' is self-created .. the regular recurring streaks of negative variance not withstanidng.
I offer you this...
There is a distinct difference between objectivity and subjectivity. But then again, you already knew that.
Undergrad and Graduate school was a long time ago for me, but I recall having to write many a term paper, boring and tedious as the task was, anything I put my name on demanded objectivity. That you may choose to place your name on anything which incorporates subjectivity does your credibility a huge disservice.
I'm done.

Do you really think that the opinions of users and posters of an Internet forum are useless. I would think that they would be indispensable in the review of a site like this. At no point did Kevin suggest that the opinion solicited would be the sole basis of his review. I thought Kevin's response was far from condescending and I saw no ill temper in his remarks. I frankly don't understand your reaction. You make a few good points but also several unwarranted assumptions.
that I won $145,000 at 2006... less than 2005 but I wasn't robbed at 2006...: ) I have posted most of my trip reports at Macao's newspaper, Shiming Daily. I will not do a book on my 2006 activities. I am now working on a book teaching people how to go round the world gambling. I did OK at 2007 so far winning $24,000... found nad played afull ES game with limit of $100 only... of the $24,000, $5,000 was from Poker!
I won $28K in 150 hours played... all my income in year 2006.
