Nostalgia Cipher Strand

Perhaps we were both having a bad day. He's been notified that he's welcome back under a gentlemen's agreement that we're to keep things civil.

What a nice ending for my day.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow. It's only a day away...." Have a great night, everyone.

I agree with Bryan's decision to suspend Cipher from the forum.
HOWEVER -

I happen to like Cipher. He helped the Pirate to get his money, and I also agree with his opinion that many software developers rig the games to cause a player to lose his/her heaviest bets. Although I am not a programmer, I did once helped program a module for a CNet Amiga BBS called NukEm 2.0 (War Of The Worlds) and I know how easy it is to open a backdoor to the RNG. (I spent 3 weeks up all day and night working on this game which was written in a language called REXX.

I also disagree with Bryan's decision to advertise any Microgaming powered casino. I am very suspicious that the bj may play like a slot machine.

Nevertheless, I have always shown Bryan the respect as host of this forum, and someone that spends his most of his life helping players like me to get thier money. I know for a fact Bryan is not on the take, and if I were to ever prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a Microgaming was running rigged software, he would blacklist them.

As Bryan always says "The money is not where its at", and his actions have always shown that he lives up to his words.

I have been on this forum since 1998, and Bryan has gone to great lengths to help clean up the industry from corruption. He's online gaming's Ralph Nader.
His accomplishments have been simply extraordinary, and they deserve recognition. Also Spearmaster deserves a lot of credit too (despite the fact that we RARELY see eye to eye on anything).

Cipher owe's Bryan an apology. All this time Cipher has posted his strands all over this forum and Bryan's tolerated it. Some other moderators might not have.

I doubt myself and Bryan will ever see eye to eye when it comes to the issue of "software fairness". I think most are rigged, and he thinks very few are.

Thanks Dave for a wonderful post. I also believe that when the big bets are out the ev shrinks. This is why I am pessimistic that any casino in their right mind would reject FairDice or its equivalent.

The topic got a little sidetracked with Dave_r's sportsbook arbitrage game info, so it's been split into another thread.
