Read it. Interesting, but please forgive me if I limit the advice I take from persons in prison! Suffice it to say that I would run like hell if I saw him at the table. I've also got to question the accuracy of his statement that it is desirable to play 100+ indexes, even with Hi-Opt II. Well, maybe in SD there are that many comp-dependent that are worth playing. I use 33 in shoe games and that gets me to 90% of the EV of full index play with lower variance. All in all a great interview though, I love the cover tricks! Flipping a coin, and such.

Remember the quote from Darwin Ortiz "you can never cheat an honest man". With that said if anyone puts store by any of the drivel in that article then they are in need of serious help. Eveyone in prison is innocent. There was a conspiracy against Marcus from the beginning. In eveything he ever did its always some one elses fault. This guy wouuld attempt to sell Lucifer charcoal. He has no talent save for taking your money and making it his. Why Barfy would continue to hang with and promote this guy is beyond me. Birds of a feather? Remember in Barfs own words (in other posts on other pages on several different occasions)he stated he had made no money with that team. Only when barf went out on his own did he build his bankroll. As for being his mentor... Well I could learn to roll in mud from a pig I just choose not to. ZG (Marcus) is BAD news. For you your money and anyone he ever played with. Read the article again... He is whats wrong with advantage play. There is not one redeeming quality about this guy. I base this on first hand knowledge of many of the participants he has done business with. I thank the good sense that god gave me that I never was caught up in his BS. If he would have ever cost me any money he would not be the one in prison. I would be. Remember the huckster from the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales" thats ZG (Marcus). JWP

Re: Thx...
So very true. I think I hang around with my Jacob's Ladder hanging out of the clouds hoping to pull people up into the higher advantages with me. It's a great feeling to know you've helped someone out, and worked well together taking casino money. THAT - is addictive. Great working with you Syph (and you, and you, and you too...)
Stay Strong,
Rob

please forgive me if I limit the advice I take from persons in prison!
-- i'm out, so you can feeel better about my advice.
Suffice it to say that I would run like hell if I saw him at the table.
-- thanks, you'd be doing both of us a favor.
I've also got to question the accuracy of his statement that it is desirable to play 100+ indexes, even with Hi-Opt II.
-- i said "60+"... and HO2 is an obsolete system
Well, maybe in SD there are that many comp-dependent that are worth playing.
-- HO2 doesn't identify "comp-dependent" situations, nor does
All in all a great interview though, I love the cover tricks! Flipping a coin, and such.
-- thank you, but if I see you using any of them I'LL RUN LIKE HELL! zg

Thank you very much for bringing us this superb interview. It's one of the most interesting blackjack pieces I've read.
This guy is a wild man. They're out there.
His attitude towards blackjack was a very healthy one. It's a game! It's only worth the trouble if you enjoy it. The fun of the game is greatly enhanced because there's money involved. But this is no way to try to make serious money.
This guy can make infinitely more money with other endeavors, and he has. But he enjoys the great game that blackjack is, and he loves to play. It's a game on many intellectual levels, and he strives to cover every level there is, and create some new ones, too.
