Memo to 15ofClubs : Blackjack software

15ofClubs,

I have tried to respond to the enquiry about Blackjack software you posted on Arnold Snyder's www.bjfonline.com website. This was what I was trying to write:

In my humble opinion, you should definitely go for Norm Wattenberger's CVCX and CVData. I have both and they have returned their worth many times over. There is simply no software program around that can do all the things they do and at such a user-friendly environment.

Check out the software's capability for yourself at www.qfit.com

PS : The above post was busted some 5-6 times at Arnold Snyder's website (Blackjack Main forum) and then I gave up. Norm Wattenberger has taken sides in the argument between Snyder and Nacht, and apparently because he took the "wrong side" his products cannot even be mentioned there, let alone recommended! I'm sorry to say that silly actions such as that are very detrimental to Snyder's reputation, not to mention to how the public perceives his side of the argument. ...Pity

PPS : I would speculate that Arnold is perhaps not really in charge of that website.

Yes, I saw your post there before it was busted. Interesting way to act for a site that so loudly advertises it's come one came all attitude. Even the cess pool of the Fight Club board won't accept my mail anymore. What are they afraid of?

So they do their (new) readers a dis-service by eliminating from view one of the best practice/sim programs around.

A pretty strong statement -but anyone whos bias isn't showing does recomend the QFIT.COM stuff without reservation.

Silly? It's embarrassing. The double standard for fairness in posting over there is not to be believed .. until experienced first hand.

I posted a response to a sim-type question on July 15th on the Blackjack 101 board. It included a reference to Norm by name with a link to his site and expressed my appreciation of his products. It is still there. Arnold Snyder posted in the same thread just about one day and a couple messages later. It would seem to me there is some discrepancy in either moderator behavior or reporting regarding this matter. I can think of many reasons for this discrepancy, from mild to severe. The vast majority of them, like speculation itself, have very little to do with Blackjack and even less EV at the tables.
