This is a "great" message board...

John Patrick is a loser!
Who said so? Do you know why?

Because that's the formal policy of this message board... Please do not disturb the leaders of this pack... they do not care for what freedom of speech is.

Card counting is the only way to make money in bj!
Who said so? Do you know why?

Because that's the formal policy of this message board, dummy! If you don't agree, your post will be censored!

A great message board, isn't it? But, why to call it a FORUM? Isn't a forum for discussing all points of views?

I'd like to what these guys lost !

I dont read many post by you or Frank and am not to sure who you are.
Are you a winner,loser,ex-card counter who have failed, a ploppy,progressionist,etc?

What's your history?

Get over yourself. You do not have some God-given right to just say whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want. That's not what Freedom of Speech is about. Sure, you have the freedom to express yourself, but not the freedom to force another person to reproduce that expression in his/her privately owned medium, even if that medium is distributed for public consumption.

Rather than quibbling over whether this is a 'message board' or a 'forum,' you should think of this place as Stanford's house. We are all guests here. Stanford is an obliging host, but there are certain house rules. If you don't follow them, he might politely ask you to please follow them. Or he might kick you out. And you can't say boo about it, because it's his house. How would you like it if I came over to your house, barged into your kitchen while you were eating a bowl of Fruit Loops, and started ranting about the merits of the Flat Earth theory or some such crap? And I wouldn't shut up even when you started jabbing me with your spoon and trying to shove me out the door? I'm guessing you wouldn't be real keen on that.

view. Why is everyone getting so heavy with him or her. They are merly expressing themselves. What they are saying is not inaccurate. In reality, when anyone in here disagrees with the counters, they get abused. They handle it as though it's there own personal thing. My god, it's only a game. Sometimes it's hard to believe how personal people in here take it.
If you don't like a point of view, you do not have to respond. But in here people go after people.

We keep score with real money.

And it's not just a difference of opinion, some concepts are correct and mathmatically sound, others are just plain wrong.

I had some incorrect assumptions when I first started studying advantage play. However, when knowledgeable people carefully explained to me why I was wrong, and where the fault was in my reasoning, I learned from it.

I did not continue to trash the message board spouting gibberish and nonsense, insisting that I am correct and that 40 years of research, done by some of the greatest math experts on the planet, along with years of real-life experience by some of the pros who post on these boards is all wrong.

Just kidding. :-)

Our host Stanford Wong, respected author and card counter,
operates this site as a business which generates income catering
to card counters and other forms of advantage play. If it were
not for the paid membership of Green Chip and the merchandise sales,
these free pages wouldn't exist. And since SW undoubtedly expends
many hours and expense to provide the "Free Forum" he can do
whatever he deems to be in his best business interest, which
includes busting your posts or any post he thinks is inappropriate.

Lets make this nice and simple.....you don't have to become a
card counting disciple....for that matter, you don't have to
come to this site at all. It's not like anyone is twisting your arm.
After all it's your loss if you choose not to be open minded and benefit from the experiences of profitable players and the advice of
mathematicians such as MathProf, The Mayor, Cacarulo and Don S.

Personally, I wish there were more players that didn't employ some
form of advantage play, because without unskilled players,
(spelled .... p l o p p y) the Casino's couldn't survive
and in turn, we successful players would have to find another
vocation. So in a sense, I'm grateful that you think as you do.
