Poker Poker Poker!: Re: [vpFREE] The VP MENSA MYTH LIVES ON

I think I know what the source is for that. There is a book by a Mensa member that discusses all sorts of games but I don't think the author actually plays them. If he did he would notice that there is a bonus for full coin that you do not get for a single coin.

The true advantage players won't trust a general gambling book because they are looking for specific information on particular games such as Blackjack and Video Poker. Any book that tries to condense a number of games into one book either has to be very well edited or a glossing over. I think it was the latter.

By the way, I commend you for trying to help someone out. We need more people like you!

Today I started a conversation with an intelligent rather impressive
gentleman at The Borgata in AC. I found it rather disappointing and was somewhat
taken aback he was playing a 1.00 9/6 JoB...ONE DOLLAR AT A TIME.

Why I asked was he only playing one at a time. He explained he had read a
book by a mensan that determined any VP game that was not a positive game was
not worth playing full coin because you are going to lose anyhow. By playing
one coin your money will lasts longer and somehow it works out better for you
in the long run..... or something like that!

Although I had not read this hypothesis a red flag went way up. I remember
this being discussed on a VP forum before but I only gave it a cursory look. I
told him that I was not prepared to go into precise mathematical detail but
take my word this is a false premise. He seemed to get my drift by my
certainty and rationalization how playing the same game with different odds( not
full pay) will hurt you in the long run.

How anyone can prove otherwise in a convincing matter is some sort of genius
I guess.
