I am glossing over the slap fight you and Wiki are having to bring up an interesting point that if his code breaking methodology even slightly changes the odds in his favor then that can be used to make a ton of money in the long term.
That was the simple foundation of casino bonus whoring back in the day which had nothing to do with gambling and everything to do with creating an edge and then plowing through as much volume as possible and by doing so it became impossible to lose.
If his silly D and L thing had any kind of real results in terms of predicting outcomes, even if it was only right even less than 50% of the time it could still be worth a ton of money because what it would effectively do is allow him to avoid spots where he should lose money most of the time and capitalize on spots where he would normally lose instead.
Obviously this guy is just amusing himself with his D and L stuff and if that makes the game more fun for him then it is a good choice to make, especially since a good or bad day is 50 cents in profits or losses for him. However if he could (even with a small degree of accuracy) predict when his QQ and KK hands faced AA hands then he could make a killing on that in many ways, especially since he will also be able to tell when his aces will go against similar hands (which he can then overbet a ton knowing he will get paid).
I realize you just go on emotion and a lack of details and logic, but real people with real skill and ability break systems all the time and make a killing out of them and they find much, much smaller edges than this guy's "D and L" theory in the penny games he plays to do so, so your general simplistic belief (as quoted above) is so laughably naive and wrong that it helps explain why those that can break systems make a killing while guys like you simply watch and drool.
D and L guy is a drooler as well, but at least he is amusing himself while playing.
As for you, just stick with calling people shills, dreamers and Lizard People and avoid trying to explain any concept with logic. You are mundane but adequate at the former behavior but are completely out of your league and skill set with the latter behavior.
All the best.
