What an oxymoronic title for a book as described on
Amazon and a Youtube interview by by the schmuck...

I'm telling you folks, these are a small incestuous
circle sick gambling swindlers trying to make a buck
by selling each other books, bots, boards, dice, etc.

They are so desperate that they are now targeting
"children"! "around the world"!

Would I buy a used car from Marc Brockmann Olsen?

Hah haa! You guessed it... :)

For your info this is his 2nd book, knowing full well that his first book only sold 300 copies. It's not for making a buck.

Pretty sure it's his 3rd book but too lazy to verify.

I've listened to the interview before and know Marc. Again, going from memory I still think it's 3 books until someone points me to exactly where in the interview or written it's different. If all else fails, I could quit being lazy and just ask Marc lol

That's my recollection too although I wouldn't swear to it. What I seem to
remember is that his first book was in Danish. I'm pretty sure he has only
two books in English and I don't think that the first one was just a translation
of the Danish book. I seem to recall that the Danish book was mostly a book
of problems.

Oh, never mind, I just posted the link for anyone who might want to watch it.
2 or 3 it doesn't matter to me personally, the point is that most people don't write books "to make a buck". They write to express themselves,to pass something in their opinion beneficial to the society, to leave something behind after they pass away...

I totally agree.
We are lucky to have the benefit of such people and of course the freedom of expression to expedite such things.

That's exactly what I said. Read what I wrote above.

They are like women of a small town in the country.

Half of them are hair dressers giving perms to the
other half. :)

When they run out of customers, they start giving
hair cuts to their dogs and cats.

Nobody else sane outside of their "small town" will
buy their books, bots, boards, dice, etc. "garbage"!

I had made a similar remark in past about bg bots
and you had responded with a similar comment. Thanks
for helping me make my point... ;)

And how many of the one who watched it did catch them
contradicting themselves so many times, so badly, in
so few minutes?

Most likely none because ass kissers/followers are born
to just do that and nothing more like asking queastions,
etc...

Bullshit! It was/is the same bullshit about every other
petty peddler of bots, books, subscription blogs, online
(illegal) gambling servers, etc.

If he isn't trying to make a buck from his book, why not
publish it in some digital format for free...?

More bullshit!

Dumb people are lucky to be dumb and happy, no doubt...

Actually, maybe I should encourage this guy also because
he is on the right path.

He acknowledges that ranking based on ER/PR alone isn't
realistic and that it should be balanced with the win
ratio.

That's progress. As I have been saying for years, it will
take you/them time to understand fully that ER/PR are not
just half meaningless but completely meaningless!

They refer to Mocky's double slotting against Loreo and
call it (correctly) "strategy" that would hurt his ER/PR.

For how many fucking years have I tried to get this thru
their thick skulls? That you can't speak of strategy and
ER/PR in the same breath...? :(

I won't waste money to buy nor time to read his book but
by its description and by the interview, it sounds like
he is like a creationist who came around to acknowledge
evolution but still trying to fit dinasaurs into Noah's
Ark...

I'll just keep mocking at them and give time... I have
no doubt that you/they all eventually get it!
