Risk of Ruin Reached

[Tellafriend]

mickeyrimms you have ruined this thread same as your life.


just go away.

[Jayjami]

Yeah what can I say? We are just a bunch of know nothings who like to have fun punting away our hard earned money.

Wait, I have an idea.

Why don't you open up a PPH account and I and a few others from the PFAWT can put in some plays with you. After all you being the OG Gambler that you are knows the house always wins and a bunch of losing gamblers like us don't stand a chance.

Let me know if this is something you want to do. Ill escrow 1k with Todd (and you should too in case the imposable happens and I/we win a week).

What do you think?

I'm living proof that the house don't always win. The last time I had a losing month was 2007 I think. Been so long I can't remember exactly. I work the biggest edges in the business. I'm purely a scientific gambler.

You guys think you can hunch bet against the spread and win long term.

So you haven't had a losing month in almost 20 years? Lol. That is statistically impossible, unless you play very little or don't play at all. Even Chrissy Mitchell thinks you're full of shit.

The truth about JeffDimes becomes the truth about MickeyGrimm

[BetCheckBet]

I swear Mickey is the most miserable SOB on this forum and that's saying a lot. At some point you gotta look in the mirror and ask yourself what your attitude is doing for your life. I'm sure Jeff will bounce back and the fact he is so well liked speaks volumes.

[mickeycrimm]

Years ago I shared podcasts in which Mickey was the subject. There were a few podcasts I regularly enjoyed back then. I love the biographies of gamblers and bookmakers as a genre. Can’t go wrong. Always colorful.

Quite by accident Mickey turned up next in the queue one day. I enthusiastically shared that pod and other Crimm interviews here too. What stuck me as particularly odd was that Crimm never responded to my posts or interacted with me in any way about them. I was not beefing with him either. I have never been able to imagine an explanation. Puzzling. I just shrugged my shoulders and carried on without comment. Until now.

In my informal observation of humans I have gathered that as a rule successful people skew happier. Mickey doesn’t strike me as happy. Subsistence gambling is a hard hard path. I get it. He strikes me as a casualty of the game as much as JeffDime.

1. I don't recall you asking me any questions. If you have questions then ask.

2. I agree that subsistence gambling would be hard. You thinking I'm unhappy is just wishful thinking on your part. I moved well beyond subsistence gambling back in the 90's. Made 5 figure contributions to my retirement fund every year. Another thing I'm extremely happy about is countries buying up gold. It's running the price right thru the roof. I remember a few years ago it bottomed out at $1650. Good for me in hindsight because I was buying a lot but horrible when you consider it was at $1600 in 2013. You shouldn't waste your time thinking I'm poor.

(BTW, I worked in a 20 man gold camp in the Alaska Range in 1989 when gold was around $350 an ounce.)

I'm retired. I just took a Vegas vacation. Unlike most Vegas vacationers I don't have to pay for it. The casinos pay for it. Their machines payed me a tidy sum. Just because I'm retired don't mean I sucker gamble.

Stayed at Flamingo and Excalibur. Played at Planet Hollywood, Horseshoe, Cromwell, Flamingo, O'Sheas, Linq, Harrah's, Casino Royale, Caesar's Palace, Bellagio, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, New York, New York, MGM, Park MGM, and Aria. Oh, yeah, also Palace Station and Durango.

It's impossible for you but not for me. I had a standing proposition on VCT. Ask Druff.

I will go out and play machines starting at 8 AM. I will take just $1000 with me. I will produce a $500 win before the day is over....with you standing there watching me. Put up 10K we'll do it.

And if you think I just got lucky then we'll do it again the next day. And the next day. And the next day. However many days you want until you cry uncle or run out of money.

Question, Gayjami. Getting paid 7/5 while flat betting coin flips (assuming a fair coin) is a 20% edge because you average winning one for every one you lose. So if you were making 1000 flips per day at this game for a year....how many losing days would you expect to have?

I’m sure you make money through advantage play but to start with $1k and guarantee a $500 win every day seems like a bit of hyperbole.

And before you call me an idiot and to put my money where my mouth is:

1. Why not run a crew of degens to do what you do and take a cut
2. You could sell the mickey crimm system to degens and make a fortune…the anti Joe Crapier.

It was a standing bet I had on VCT. AP's won't take me up on the bet because they know what will happen. This line from the movie, Guys and Dolls,

"Son, one of these days in your travels a guy is going to show you a brand new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand new deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, you do not accept this bet. Because as sure as you stand there you're going to wind up with an earful of cider."

If you take that 10K bet that I can't produce the 500 dollar win with just a 1000 dollar bankroll before the day is thru....you will wind up with an ear full of....or I should say....just as sure as you are standing there you will have to pay me the 10K. You will lose. It's 100% guaranteed.

The bigger question is if this guy makes a thousand bucks every two days why does he spend hundreds if not thousands of hours playing 1-2 dollar slots?

Or are we to believe that 1-2 dollar advantage play is more profitable than 10-20 dollar advantage play?

Amazing the imagination you guys have with none of it having any basis in reality. I might play 10 or 12 hours most weeks. There's not much advantage play around that requires more than $25 a spin.

I have absolutely no desire to have to partner or employ others. I like the way things are. No commitments. I get up when I want to. I go to bed when I want to. I don't use an alarm clock. I go to the casinos when I want to. I don't go to the casinos when I don't want too. I eat when I want to. I don't eat when I don't want to. I have no set schedule. I'm beholden to no one. The thing I like about my lifestyle and way of making a living is there are no strings attached. I come and go like I want.

Sounds like an angle shoot.

Consider for a moment Mickey might be the Ty Cobb of advantage slot players sliding with his spikes up.

Crimm was interviewed and accorded respect from the Blackjack Ball crew. This is a very exclusive and ordinarily secretive group. He has posted in great detail information about slots that offer an advantage. His bona fides really aren’t the debate.

I personally have played maybe a total of $10 lifetime in slot machines. My interest has nothing to do with slots. Zero.

As I said yesterday I love the biographies of gamblers and bookmakers as a genre. I recall the opening of one of the pods thet has a destitute Mickey Crimm rolling into town (Vegas I assume) to start his journey. This was by his own humble admission. It was a cool story.

Mickey can be both excellent at his craft and miserable. Lol, Ty Cobb.

Dick measuring wagering results is the single most insufferable conversation always.

When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.. Unless you are Kalam

I could do it on the square with probably about a 75% success rate.The secret in the bet is knowing how advantage slots work. And of course one has to scout for advantage plays then spin them off. On a given day its possible I wouldn’t find at least $500 in expectation….and variance could also be a factor.

But if I just wanted to fuck you over I could set plays up. In other words have someone spin an exploitable game into advantage mode then leave the machine to me. It would cost some money to do it, hence the 10K bet.

Angle shoots are a grey area this would be more like running a scam. Pretty much the equivalent of having a bet around how much you can profit in a poker cash games and then just having your buddies dump you the money.

Yes, but I’ve never done it to anyone. And I exposed how to do it. So you will never fall for it.
