<<<.....The trouble I have with BD is that his dissemination of VP info to
the casinos was far from passive--he actually fingered dozens of
advantage players and helped the casinos identify and bar them. This
goes FAR beyond providing statistics about EV and the cost of
promotions and such. If someone had done this to HIM in his salad
days he would have been furious, and I doubt that he would have been
forgiving to the "turncoat" even if given the blithe explanation
that said person was just trying to use his knowledge to make a
living.>>>
I have heard this rumor a few times. But as one person pointed out, where's
the proof?
It's not black & white. It's circumstantial.
Exhibit #1 is his book. In it he describes situations where he locked out
other players from advantage plays. I am fairly certain that he toned down the
descriptions of several situations where he took egregious advantage.
But enough of this. Past discussions of BD's contributions/detriment to VP
puts him in the same class as RS when comparing amount of wasted wind.
Newcomers should research the archives to avoid covering the same ground as we've
been down this path before.
