I admit I some times use different names to stimulate responses. I agree that Grisjean contributes greatly to BJ society. You are however limiting the world to be English-speaking only and accused me of coutributing little...
I have written 7 Chinese BJ books sold over 30,000 copies so far. One of my readers made US$4 Million in 3 years. There are dozens Chinese full time counters arising from my books. My gambling column, at a Macau newspaper, contained 400 articles. You can't benefit from them for your not able to read Chinese is not my responsiblity.
I have no problem your advising people not trusting me. I don't truse myself either. I once leaked a good game information to a guy I met at a BJ party. He brought his team to the game before my people, made US$80,000.Hhe charegd the team 20% for finding the game... at my cost. I hope I will never make such mistake again.
I have visited 52 countries over 750 casinos so far. My trip reports to most of these countries were written in my books and my columns. I plan visiting 100 countries and really don't need people telling me their secrets as I may find them out myself any way.
1. Don't trust me... I agree with you.
2. Using different names, yea.
3. I contribute little... perhaps at bj21... but definately more than you... if including non-English readers...: )
at English sites? You will get heart attack reading my Chinese columns...: )
I will post less.
Do not let ONE poster change your ways of posting
whether some of my posts might expose certain people and may stop casinos doing some stupid promotions. I will be mre cautious.
I, personally, know BJT and he is a genuine person.
I admire him for what he has achieved and all being well will meet him again soon.
Maybe he will guess who I am now with this clue.
Carry on as you are, don't change your ways.
Otherwise, we may have exodus of posters just like Grosjean, Kardcountr, Humble, etc, who post here no more.
ditto
discussions of some of my columns in English at advantageplayer.com International.
posting
1. to encourage fellow counters.
2. to give high goals such as making US$ 4 Million in 3 years from AP even 40 years after Thorp's book.
3. collect stories for my columns.
I might look bragging some time such as saying "I got $1K hourly rate for the past one week", "Ms. J made US$410K in 2005 playing LV alone". My intention is demosnstrating there are still playable casinos in the world even at LV... I won't disclose location which should be understandable. People may feel intimated for they make much less even lose from AP and category my stories as fiction comforting themselves which is also understandable. Please do remember the world move forward because several high acchievers demonstrate there are ways and people follow. If one ignores others' acchievments believing there are no way making that kind of money, he/she is limiting themslves.
"I, personally, know BJT and he is a genuine person."
As opposed to what - a bot?
:-)
Your point# 3 can be done through advance-googling. You will find good gambling stories about how APs beat casinos. Making big money from casinos demonstrates the incredible ingenuity of APs. They can make money NOT only by their skills, but by smart lawsuits, i.e., using Bill Zender (ex-casino-big-shot) as the AP's expert-witness to beat Caesars & Griffins. For your next newspapers articles, you may want to write stories about how Grosjean & D'Aquin beat various casinos in American's Courts. Oh, you may want to add my favorite story to your article: Campione vs Tropicana.
"Anthony J. Campione v. Adamar of New Jersey, Inc, [aka Tropicana Casino]
Date: 7/2/1998
Gambling discrimination and malicious prosecution by plaintiff, a blackjack player and professional card counter who frequented casinos in Atlantic city. Plaitiff sued defendants for discrimination, breach of contract, and malicious prosecution. He alleged that defendants selectively enforced gaming regulations against him because he was a card counter.
Outcome: Jury verdict for plaintiff for $1,519,873.43.
Comments: As modified, affirmed by the Supreme Court of New Jersey awarding plaintiff's estate (he passed away during the pendency of the action) $1,000,213.50.
By the way, the old saying comes true against Tropicana: "What goes around, comes around." Tropicana attempts to screw everybody & gets what it deserts, especially it loses its gaming license recently for wrongdoings in addition to Campione case . Now It waits for a buyer to take over. Believe or not, Tropicana gets such a bad KARMA, even Bear Sterns (Trop's broker) went "belly up" & got merged & bailed out by JP-Morgan-Chase Bank...with the help of the Federal Reserve Bank!

C, what R Urs vocabulary building techniques? Through the last 10 years, you have used lots of intriguing words & materials in your posts. From your short post above, I have to look up 2 words in order to comprehend your message fully & appreciatively. Don't tell me that you just memorize all the words and vocabularies from a Webster's pocket dictionary. By the way, U'r really a solid poster who can dig up lots of info, and I have a feeling that you're a decoder like Alan Mathison. Perhaps you may work for CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, Mi5 or Mi6?
