I sometimes have to wonder if the casinos and the blackjack book authors don't have a very personal interest in making players think positive progressions don't work. I mean how many books, articles, dvd's could they sell if a simple and easy on the brain positive progression betting system worked?
Sure, that makes perfect sense. Obviously there is a large, secret cabal of casinos, card players, authors and researchers. Their only purpose in life is to maintain the Masquerade, which purports that card counting works when it actually doesn't. They've managed to mislead, suppress or buy off every researcher and mathmatician in this area since the 1950s. They spend all their time keeping "the truth" from getting out. Any free time they have is used to birth, raise, educate and finally corrupt shills like Thorpe, who present false information about how counting "works".
They also spend all their time and money suppressing analysis of their shill articles so that they can't be disproved. They pay off or refuse to allow ANY peer reviewer to publish a response to their articles. If anyone slips through their fingers, they use their iron grip on the academic world to keep renegade peer reviewers from speaking out.
They also spend vast amounts of time and money making sure that no one leaks about their cabal.
In modern times, they spend the same resources hacking into everyone's computer, in order to queer the results of any analysis that they might run on the topics of counting and progression. Their hackers can work across any platform, on any computer (even those not connected to any network), and pre-emptivly record any program that might produce an undesired result. They flood the internet with raised-from-birth shills like The Wizard of Odds who produce fake data about how "counting works", all the while taking down any website that might refute them. (I expect blackjackinfo.com to suddenly dissapear after I post this).
And they do all this just to be absolutely sure that no one ever uses a progression system in a casino, because it would be the end of the business as we know it. Casinos would instantly crumble, billions would be lost in seconds. The industry as we know it would end. Pit bosses would be powerless to do anything. Even if they saw what was about to happen, they couldn't bring themselves to backoff the progression player. It simply can't be.
Now that I know the truth, I shall take down Vegas. For I am become Progression Player, destroyer of casinos.
