Just because somebody owns a gambling forum.....

I agree about the relevance.

Anyway, I didn't know about other options on roulette computers, so thanks for clarifying.

The Wizard and JP are at opposite ends of the spectrum with regard to their views on gambling; the Wizard is a "math guy" and JP is anti-math, so they can't both be right. But I suppose it depends what you mean by "right", there are many ways to skin a cat, both make valid and invalid points, both have very different agendas.

JP is not ANTI-MATH, i would say. in his book he says about chances to win and lose exactly like math guys say. He just can see the ways to "overcome" it not in "mathematical" ways.

Looking for opinions. Just because a person owns a gambling forum, does that automatically make that person RIGHT with their views on gambling?

I'm not sure that "owning" a forum means much.  Even a site receiving 100's of thousands of "hits" a day isn't necessarily worth much, in dollars & cents.  And doesn't "owning" a site really at least amount to a lot of time-consuming moderation, etc?

So, no, that certainly doesn't make someone right, or wrong, about something, etc.

I'm mainly referring to roulette.

Gambling is gambling.  It's the book-sellers, system-sellers, gambling venues, hotels, souvenir-shops, gambling message-boards (via adertising, back-linking, enlisting posters, etc,) et al, who profit from the "suckers", and they who are truly interested in learning more. 

My question is in regards to JP and the Wizard. I am *NOT* talking about Steve so leave the Steve bashing at the door.

I would safely venture to say that also they put their bottom-lines first.  Actually, your question was somewhat timely, as i was doing a bit of internet-research on the owner of baccaratforums a couple of weeks ago.  Just another profiteer, Michael Emilio Rodriguez i believe, who seems to own or be associated with about ten other various types of sites.  (Since i was banned there for no obvious reason(s) other than posting what i believed/proved to be true, i began to look a bit deeper into it.  That site was approaching the 200,000 Alexia-rank mark back in February, so perhaps it became even more about the business-side of things than of the passions of it's long-term members.)

I can't believe how many people bow down to JP and the Wizard. Big deal I say, in regards to those two. They might know a lot BUT you know what? They don't know it all. a lot of what they post is based on opinions.

No one person can know more than a tiny bit of the whole at any one time.  Why ought we "bow down" to anyone?
