Sidenote: Unfortunately (as is the case with these things), some people come up short on these lists. Schnozzy was #21 on the '05 "Champions" list, having posted wins totalling $13,283.50. VERY impressive November, and I'm sure more of that is going to come.

Sidenote: There are a lot of handles that use "max" in them. Examples off the top of my head would be:

- maxlevine

- max1mike

- Maax

- metaxa (okay, so that's a bit of a stretch)


Can you think of any more?

I'm presently combing the "Winner Screenshots" thread for a short-list of players I might have skipped-over (and I have one that comes to mind). I didn't add members to this list, who had only posted once (unless it's a MONSTER win of course ).

***

Well, that's all for now. I'm pleased-as-pie that you've enjoyed this post, and again, thank you to everyone who's been supportive (and very encouraging).

Woo Hoo!!! I made a JohnSteed list, lol. Ahhhh, August was such a sweet month. That 5K was only one win that month, I forgot I put my 32Red win in a thread all it's own. So you can add another $3,500 to August JS, lol. If only every month were half that good. JS, I really think you should become a professional researcher or data compiler or something. The stuff you come out with just blows me away. If I had half your patience, I'd be a saint.

nite nite mr steed....you must be exhausted after all your hard work

Heh, I never thought I would have made a who's-who thread when it comes to "Winner Screenshots" ...

Suffice it to say, I play blackjack 95% of the time (if not more) and currently stand at around 90% profit over the total of 3 years. Very few screenshots because of that, but the credit card bills are finally under control.

Again, kudos to johnsteed for yet another interesting list.

[mitch]

Hi Johnsteed

Well I finally made one of your lists, GREAT!!

Not to nit pick but I think you missed my post of 27/12 05 where I posted a win of £5000. Probably would have pushed me up the table a little.

I play blackjack for the vast majority of time and this does restrict my opportunities to post on the "Winners" thread. I might start posting smaller wins though if I can get onto your lists. eg won £750 at Littlewoods last night and £300 at Inter tonight.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Mitch ,


There's a good reason for that. I did notice that run, but I hadn't included it because it was wins over successive hands, not off of one hit. I believe I voided some of GrandMaster's as well as Dirk Diggler's posts based on just that.


If I did include your win of 5,000 GBP posted in '05, this is what we would come up with:

MITCH

Posts made: 4
Recorded amount won: $15,891.02
Biggest win: $6,250 (April)
Best month: December ($8,641.02)



So looking at that, we know that your biggest hit was for $6,250.00, yet your biggest amount won in a single post is in the amount of 5,000 GBP/$8,641.02. I went over this back-and-fourth, but I couldn't add that because that would throw everything off. While you did provide a screenshot of your logs, I didn't categorize it as being a single hit recorded.


If I were to include your wins (off a incredible run of BJ ), I would have to consider the CREDITS/COINS indicator taking precedence over the WIN indicator for each screenshot taken. If that were the case, I'm afraid this whole list would be out-of-whack. Examples of this:


- "Bing's" CREDITS/COINS indicator (not the WIN indicator) in his/her screenshots routinely shows that he/she was (generally) wavering between $10,000 - $30,000 (as high as $44,165.00!!).


- For the 12 posts that he/she donated to the WINNER SCREENSHOTS thread, IF we tabulated his/her posts together (using the CREDITS/COINS indicator) as opposed to the accumulation of single wins, he/she'd be sitting at precisely $285,683.75 ($106,438.75 at Maple Casino and $179,245.00 at 32Red) in winnings.


Now, we know he/she didn't drop back down to $0.00 after each time he/she posted a winning screenshot. He/she was on a roll, building-up his/her unbelievable bankroll (i.e. CREDITS). Allowing the accumulation (addition) of each indicated credit amount (over single wins) would be incredibly unfair. Although it's not the same case as with you, it's not that far off either. Again, to be clear, we're not looking at the session as a whole, but the big hits that happened along the way.


Sidenote: Not only would I love to have known when member were playing in GBP as opposed to USD, but I'd love to know who's a he or a she, but that's just me you see.


***


In the end though, after second thought, I could include wins for Hands #2 (2,000.00 GBP), #3 (1,000.00 GBP), #5 (1,000.00 GBP), and #8 (2,000.00 GBP), because those would count as 4 seperate wins/hits (6,000 GBP). Thus, taking you to this:

Final edit...

MITCH

Posts made: 4
Recorded amount won: $17,620.13
Biggest win: $6,250.00 (April)
Best month: December ($10,370.13)



If I had included this, you would now have to be considered on the "Top-20 Champions List", moving you to #18 on that list (bumping the Casinomeister down to #19... these alterations will be our downfall )


For good measures, if we were to include logs of gameplay over successive hands, I would think that a thread of "WINNER SESSIONS" as opposed to "WINNER SCREENSHOTS" should be created. At least to me, I think of these winner screenshots as being photos taken of single hits (although not everyone will agree with this).

Thanks for the feedback people , and that was one great run Mitch!

Lol!!!

Brilliant Work!!!! :

I feel slightly queasy thinking "where did all the money go!?!??!", but great fun to re-cap nonetheless!! I'm amazed at September too - I had no idea!!! I'm guessing that was the month I hit the crazy cocktail glasses in the free spins at Ladies Nite, and when I lined up the five wilds at Tomb Raider... Happy happy days!

Just FYI, you're absolutely right in that I play in GBP at all casino's I'm registered at (with the exception of InetBet, but not much chance of a winner screenshot for me there heh hee...)

You're a legend Mr Steed. I'm off to ponder what I could've done with all those wins in Vegas baby!!!!

Cheers!

Wow, I'm sooooo jealous. I love VEGAS. Always a great time. High-rolling, or low-rolling, or not at all, fun any-which-way. I could sit there talking with friends, playing at the $1-min BJ table w/free drinks, all night/all week long.

Well, I wish you good look.
