The comment about being retarded was half joking and you're taking it way too seriously. I'm sorry if it came off in the wrong way. On IRC everyone thought it was pretty funny. Even you made fun of yourself for that QQ nonsense.
I take issue because you explicitly call your method of increasing bets a winning strategy and then bolster it with comments about it winning for you. Though changing bet sizes doesn't change your EV and though you're probably not doubling your bets, you are toeing the line with Martingaling strategies and the same sort of common sense fallacies associated with it. Then you make comments like you're being "very careful" and I can't "argue with your success" which have no place in logical discourse about this subject, and I won't even get into "playing by feel".
As far as your comment about "casino guru", I prepared this post with the intention of helping people with smaller bankrolls. You can play however you want, but if people post misleading information here I'm going to point it out. directly or indirectly. If you want to change your bet size, OK. If you want to bet a large amount, OK. If you want to play without a bonus, OK. No qualms there. Just don't present it as a winning strategy and talk about not playing by the chart, because it's not.
I made the thread to help people and to that extent offer advice. It would be irresponsible to do the first without the second. It's so people don't have to figure out everything by themselves like which casinos are good and which are bad, which offers are good or which are bad, which bonuses are cashable and what's a sticky, what's the proper strategy for blackjack, how long does it take to do the bonus, how long does it take to withdraw, etc. If you have a problem with the fundamental nature of this thread then I guess this cannot be resolved amicably.
