No need to name the amount. Whatever it was would only lead to 5 more pages of back and forth nonsense posts from the envious. But if you must know the big bet was 2 red five dollar chips, the bigger bet was 4 sometimes 5 red five dollar chips.

Not sure what the obsession is with counts and amounts. One of my compadres pictured in the Retro Road Trip thread had the highest rating at Pechanga via blackjack. I think he had to pump through a million in some limited time -- I don't remember if it was a weekend or a week.
Alan is probably familiar enough with Pechanga to pin down the old million dollar rating time frame. I honestly don't remember what it was.
There's always somebody who bets more than you. That goes without saying. So I'm perplexed as to the moral of the story. Take me, for example. Am I envious of how much Billy Walters could whip back and forth on a game? Yeah, sure. But I suppose everybody would be envious of how much the Sheik could whip back and forth on a game. So the envy is all relative.
The skill is not.
Postscript: Well, I checked on the amounts he played. I was slightly off. LOL. Evidently it was two million in four hours. Yeah, that'll usually do it, one suspects. Allegedly, it's now considerably easier to get the status these days.
RS___ Below is what Axel posted. He did not name the casino that he says offered the big loss rebate. He mentioned only that it opened around the time of Revel. He specifically asks that I investigate.
You said he named the casino.
If you know the name of the casino just post it so I can call. Don't tell me he named it and then not give me the name because I'm not going to play cat and mouse games with you or anyone else.
Either you provide info to verify or you don't. Which is it?
Sorry redietz but I played very little at Pechanga and I have no knowledge of their rating system.
"It's all about quitting when ahead"
If that is true, why does the Tard continue to play? Oh yeah, because he is still behind.
Only a Tard could think continuing to do the same failing thing over and over will result in a different outcome. This forum is why short buses were invented.
You can lead a horse to water....but it’ll probably just drown.
Alan demands we post up information and when it does get posted, he still demands it because he is incapable of reading. It’d at least be somewhat understanding if he didn’t even quote the post where axel mentioned it. Alan’s going full on loony toons.
Alan M: just read your signature line. Besides that it is a gamblers fallacy. :rolleyes: Is that what you did Alan, quit when you were ahead? After hitting 100k totals, did you quit? (The definition of quit is never to play again, otherwise it is only a pause)
Just read Reditz and Kewlj’s response to my little A.C. trip report.
KJ said in the past he makes about $300.00 dollars a day. What I meant by him/her being envious was he/she could have taken a few months off. Instead we had to get a 300-word essay bragging about his/her BJ professionalism.
Then you got the fucking Martian Reditz who gave a lecture on whale play. Although I didn’t mention how much I was betting, he had to put me in my place making sure I know about whales bringing up Billy Walters, and some guy who bets 2 million dollars in four hours. Imagine if I mentioned what I was betting? But these morons can’t resist or keep their stupidity to themselves.
Can’t make this shit up…
Or perhaps the more common meaning, from Merriam-Webster:
1) transitive verb (sense 1) Give up, as to "quit a job." or
2) transitive verb (sense 2) Give up, as "quit smoking."
Or perhaps from The Free Dictionary: "to cease or discontinue"
Note that no time frame is discussed.
Or perhaps from Led Zeppelin:
"I can't quit you, baby,
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile...."
which demonstrates that the quitting referred to in the lyrics is a permanent kind of thing. And finally, something coach will appreciate, from Brokeback Mountain:
"I wish I knew how to quit you." Again, referencing a permanent detachment, as opposed to "I wish I knew how to pause you."
My apologies, blackhole. I thought the line "KJ would be envious" was meant as some pissing contest reference of some kind. I apologize for interpreting that line that way, as I didn't know you and kewlJ were on friendly terms. My bad.
No lecture on whale play. I misinterpreted your trip report as some kind of dig at Kewlj. You know, the whole deal about what someone says first and last in a letter is probably what they want to emphasize and all that. Now that I know that you and KJ are on good terms, the trip report has a whole different meaning. My error.
I wouldn’t knock quitting while your ahead. Years ago there was a whole team of quitters while ahead that tried to hit the casinos in South Lake Tahoe. 10 to 20 of them would play at once, quit while they were ahead, and then leave with the money.
The mistake they made was Tahoe is too small so the word got around quick. The casinos phoned each other and said we have team of quitters while their ahead so they got barred from nearly every casino, although if I recall, I think one casino told them “your welcome to play here, but only under the condition that you must quit while you are behind.”
But yet you keep trying. Sure looks like the real idiot is you and your followers.

Coach belly: if you are going to play again, it makes zero difference if that next hand or spin is tomorrow, next week or next month. It ONLY matters if you are never going to play again. Otherwise it is simply a 'pause'.
Now we got this nitwit, fool, dummy, cretin, dunce, jerk, blockhead, bonehead, imbecile, ninny, pinhead, simpleton, numskull, ignoramus, moron, nincompoop, dumbbell, dimwit, dork, halfwit ... trying to make a clever comment.
It's amazing how these fools confirm everything I said. Yet, they don't even see it.
