You have more chance of profit against Phil as u said he can re-buy as many times as he likes .he could clean you up real quick . But who's to say you wouldn't get a lot of chips against him

nowhere did i say that it is better to play with ivey.

i havent' given my answer yet.


No where does it says that you don't get to keep the initial million either. It says
so if you lose $1 over the 24 hours you get nothing

I took this to mean that if you were in profit you kept the million, but if you're in deficit you lose the whole bankroll.

That seriously affected my answer.

Ah, but counting was specially excluded, or i would have double fist pumped so hard i'd have my shoulder in a sling about now :D

Or were you suggesting benny the cunt that counting was ineffectual with an 8 deck shoe? That is incorrect if that is what you were suggesting, your edge just wont be as high.

Of course it does.

$1 difference in wagers won/lost could end up being a $1000000 swing. Based on pure maths if probably wouldn't affect the outcome, but being RESULTS ORIENTATED, which is what you asked for, a result, it would.

PS: I think Mat wants you to acknowledge his post(s).
