.... Let's try to save him from losing whatever moneys he has accumulated.

let's definitely not lose forty of those eighty big ones!
and let's figure out a way not to work so darn hard.

This is such great timing.
I haven't had much motivation to post any replies to any thing I've been reading lately.
But I just, (within the last 10 minutes) watched a program on MSNBC, about people with small, simple, hair-brain ideas, that big business company's wouldn't even acknowledge,hit some down falls, but these people kept a belief in themselves, worked hard, and didn't depend on anyone but themselves. And made millions.

Big problem here. Belief and determination are fine, but belief and determination aren't going to improve your hands or get you an edge over the house. You can't simply will yourself to beat the house w/o learning and applying methods that actually do give you an advantage.

...I'm not an "overanalyze NASA mathematician", I'm just a nonconformist that has some common sense

Common sense would have involved reading the sticky threads at the top of this forum, or doing even the slightest bit of research. What you have is blind faith. Surely there is a lot of money to be made from such blind faith, but I'm afraid you are on the giving end of it right now. Keep us posted if you ever have anything other than false claims, anecdotal evidence, bad advice or circle talk. Until then, best of luck.

First you need to get an old car with a comfortable back seat, a decent sleeping bag, a good general purpose knife (I like Gerbers), and a box of kitchen matches. You can use the car and sleeping bag to travel and sleep in and the knife and matches to clean and cook road kill.

P.s. Go for the squirrel and rabbit. Possum is greasy and Armadillo carry leprosy. The occasional pit viper is very good, provided it is fairly fresh. Also they are easily found just outside of Vegas.

P.s.s. I forgot to mention the empty milk jug. You'll need it to "borrow" water from gas stations and camp grounds.

Nice one Dad! I've sent this post across and nominated it for Wong's Post of the Month. ($100) :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Lies, lies and damn statistics

So why do you keep erasing my post? After you accuse me of being a liar, and deceiving the other members of this site. By the way I printed your post. I'm checking to see if defamation comes into play, since you made that statement public, with no proof. Break out your Dictionary of law.

Posts erased and accused of being a liar? That's real serious stuff there, brother. But calm down a sec. Hey, I'm a bush lawyer and I'll have my Liars Department and Post Deleted Department check it out. I should be able to file a report for you on this, before christmas.

There are real lawyers here, but I'll only charge you bush lawyer fees. I'm pretty experienced with the liar stuff because I used to be a liar myself. Until I hired (and fired) a lawyer who lied to me. Since then, I just can't trust anyone. Like a cop, I think everyone is lying to me. My favorite movie: Liar Liar. (Jim Carrey.)

By the way I printed your post. I'm checking to see if defamation comes into play, since you made that statement public, with no proof. Break out your Dictionary of law.

OK, here's what you need to do to make your case:

1. Prove that Sonny willfully lied, or acted with a careless disregard for the truth. (Culpa lata) Difficult as everyone agrees with his assessment.
2. Demonstrate the actual monetary damages that you have suffered due to his post. (Actio damni injuria)
3. You must show that Sonny was not acting to protect readers from your advice and that your advice had no potential to harm anyone. Ex turpi causa non oritur actio. ("no right of action arises from a despicable cause.")
4. Prove that your real name is "bjstud."

Of the four, I think #4 may be the easiest.

I just thought of a new addition for CV6: a Latin pocket dictionary

A far better option would be to remember that we are all guests on this site. Perhaps you should read the rules and guidlines and try to abide by them. If you do so, it is unlikely that your posts will disappear. If you feel, they are such that you can't live with, you always have the option of not participating.

Why are you so worried about your posts disappearing and not worried about your money disappearing. I will say that you have a better chance of making money by filing such a bogus lawsuit than you would by using your hair-brained BJ "strategy". But as QFIT said you're going to have a a very difficult time proving that you, bjstud, were defamed by someone known as Sonny. And whether you're successful or not, the information will become public and all the casinos will be onto you and your "strategy".

Wouldn't suing someone for monetary gain be considered greed?

 

[Viper]

Another great strategy... go around suing everyone until they settle for $100. As long as you're not greedy, you should be able to get people to agree to that minimal amount then go on to sue the next person. Before you know it, You'll be able to add another $100k to your bankroll.

 

[Sonny]

So why do you keep erasing my post?

I though it was pretty clear:

"Keep us posted if you ever have anything other than false claims, anecdotal evidence, bad advice or circle talk."

Apparently I should have included empty threats and baseless lawsuits to that list. If you have any legitimate information or valuable insight then I will allow it to stay. Anything else will be removed. It's nothing personal. Those are the same restrictions I place on every other member of this website. I just don't want to encourage people to follow harmful advice or superstituous beliefs. There are plenty of other websites that cater to that. You can PM me if you want to discuss this further.

Sorry, but he does claim to have a crystal ball and yes there is something wrong in telling people that they can win with mathematically disproved methods, without any attempt at rationality.

My high-school chemistry class had large bottles of mercury that we used to play with. In my lifetime, people were advised to drink pure mercury to cure constipation. If someone advises this now in a public forum, they will be quickly told of the toxicity of mercury. If they continue to say that scientists are all wrong, and that you should drink poison, I would hope that such advice would be removed.

Freedom of speech is one of the most important freedoms that can exist. Indeed, democracy cannot exist without freedom of speech. And the government should never interfere with speech, no matter how stupid. But, IMO, private sites have a duty to measure the damage that can be done by horrible advice and act accordingly. Those that wish to continue with bad advice can always find other venues.

 

[Sonny]

I had to remove several more posts from various members. It looks like this thread keeps veering back to anecdotal evidence and circle talk. There were even some personal insults from both sides of the discussion. Since people are having trouble following the posting guidelines of this site I am forced to close this thread. If anyone would like to discuss this topic in an intelligent way they can start a new thread in this forum.

You are absolutely right DB...and so was P.T. Barnum. :grin:
