Well this is obviously correct of him to do, because he is a data scientist with perfect intuition and the main character, after all. Everyone else is always wrong, without any need for evidence or actually looking at the thing in question or even considering if the thing he is claiming is even humanly possible whatsoever, because the appeal to his ego is paramount.

This clown claiming he can detect heavy gamblers he has never met or interacted with or seen by his gut intuition with great accuracy is possibly the stupidest brag I have ever seen on this board.

As to his incredible intuition on the gambling behaviors of people he will never meet, he says he has been a gambler for more than a decade or was that decades? Anyway, since he was 9...How long have you been gambling where you can question the validity of his in depth characterization of Ohtani?

Snowman is our board's Most Interesting Snowman In The World...Stay thirsty my friends.

All I know was I was expecting his poker winnings to be way more than reported on the poker sites with all his knowledge/intuition.

Ben, those totals are not adjusted for inflation.

I'm not in support of estalking. I can tell he's full of shit easily enough when he claims to have impossible powers and tells blatant lies he can't support to defend his favorite fraudsters . I love free speech over everything, but it would be nice if this idiot would at least try to keep his claims plausible instead of going over-the-top with the senseless ego babble not a single person is going to believe. It's like a four year old who doesn't understand there is an objective reality outside their internal narrative.

There is large a gray area between responding/addressing someone and estalking, imo. As you point out, he has opened himself up to ridicule with the absurd and baseless stuff that he posts. And this goes back to his early days here too.

I have not seen posts of his in support of PWCC or in defense of them since Brent was sent packing by Fanatics. Maybe I missed them but prior to that he was a moving banner ad for PWCC, no doubt.

Do you realize how stupid you look right now? Anyone who has spent decades of their life entrenched in the gambling world can easily identify the traits of a gambling addict. It's not a super power or a brag. It's no different from a bartender with 20 years of experience being able to identify an alcoholic.

A bartender could not tell an alcoholic from the way he "carries himself" on TV.

We don't know that for sure. If that bartender also has a grad degree in data science and has coding skills, he too might have the same super power that snowman has.

A bartender cannot identify an alcoholic they have never even met and have no experience with. A gambler cannot tell a gambler they have never even met based on absolutely nothing but their immense ego.

Having experience in a category does not mean you can just magically discern people excessively into it based on absolutely nothing.

This is the stupidest garbage that has hit the main board in a long time. Your schtick would do a lot better if you cut off the top 20% of your vain bullshit that has nothing to do with reality.

There is a certain amount, granted it is a very large amount, of disbelief one must suspend in engaging with Travis. I would hope this is just a game for him and not the way he actually conducts himself outside of here.

More accurately, this is the stupidest garbage that has hit the main board since his last time. This is not his first performance and it will not be his last.

No no you don't get it, it's based on how Shohei "carries himself."

Sadly we will have to wait until after midnight PST for Travis to add to this thread. Speaking for myself...I simply cannot wait. He told me in a PM (in between numerous f bombs) that he refuses to interact with me here.

This has not dashed my hopes that we might be able to chat on the phone or hang out for coffee.

Very true. As a mere mortal who cannot assign myself the power of God to decisively judge the internal sins of rando's I don't know even know, I don't really understand quite how it all works for data scientists.

The good news is that, as he has experience drinking beverages, he can tell based on how you carry yourself exactly how you take your coffee and if you like decaf, sugar, cream or other features. Could start a very successful business here with this skill. Wouldn't it be convenient to not have to input your order into an app or to give it at the counter, if they could simply just know your interests and proclivities and tastes and bring you what you wanted?
