Good idea for Rob, but I wouldn't bet that either. If he was talking about a bet with the wager of who tips the cocktail waitress at Caesars for the free drinks, I would do it.Originally Posted by Count Room

Not sure what most of that means. But I always tip for free drinks at casinos. A buck a drink. Just like valet parking. A buck a retrieval.Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson

It means I wouldn't bet against you for anything more valuable than a dollar. I also tip a buck for a drink or for my car... except when I have luggage.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Then lucky for you that Internet bets never go anywhere, no matter what the amount. The one time I thought differently was when Bob Dancer e-mailed me and my book publisher, proposing a $20k bet on something about playing my strategy. I took a n extra trip just for this bet to meet at the spot he set up at the cashier at the Aladdin with my publisher. He never showed. When I got home he had an e-mail waiting for me apologizing and wishing me good luck.
It was then that my beliefs about him being a phony were confirmed.

Can you explain this obsession with Bob Dancer? He doesn't even post here.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
How many hundreds of posts have you made here that mention him? I think the search feature doesn't work completely, so it might omit some, but I could do a database search to get the exact number if I really cared.
When was the last time that Dancer wrote about you? I'm guessing it's been years.
You come off like a jilted ex girlfriend. You even based your screen name on his. Do you have a gay crush on Dancer or something?

P.S. mc, Ozzy didn't tip you. All of that for NOTHING!
Gambling psychology, for one related matter, is so much more interesting than actually going out and doing it.
However, the gambling forums have been well on the decline since 2010.
P.S. Hope that I haven't wrecked anyone's dinner.

Maybe Rob is in the closet. It would explain the unhappy look on his wife's face in that Tahoe picture.
BTW, one of the biggest gambling degenerates of all time, Terrance Watanabe, is gay.

I didn't do it for money. And you can bet that it is totally out of the question for me to come behind the fact that he hit it and expect anything. I passed the information on out of professional courtesy.
Congratulations once again to Alan for proving that variance is a big part of VP. I can still remember Alan wondering about machine's being random just a few years ago when he was in a RF drought. What goes around comes around.
My own results are are the drought side. I had my last RF about 125K hands ago. The previous one to that took 175K hands. So, that's one RF in my last 300K hands. As part of that streak I have now gone 231 tries since the last time I hit when dealt 4 to the royal.
OTOH, I have still won money every year going back to 2003. However, this year might end the streak since I only started playing in October and the edge is much smaller than what I was playing before. I will need some royals to win.
The basic problem here is that we rarely hear about the vast majority of guys who commit to gambling, especially to some aspect of it, but lose their "asses".
The cardinal rule of gambling ought to be to do neither. It's like you have to keep it in the periphery to be successful at it. No standard benefits or unions to protect when a side bet is taken down, or the rules of a game are quietly changed in some small detail.
If you've spent any time in the environment, zero professional courtesy becomes the first lesson. More likely, someone will try to turn you in for something. Casinos hold some mystical sway over people.
A lot of people win for a while. They would anyway. The chances of being up in the short to moderate terms is exceptionally high. Throw in some aspect of chasing, and the variances could propel you into the "stratosphere". People start to believe. Worst of all, YOU believe it. Sure, it's recreational. Tell yourself that. But everyone is addicted to everything to a degree. So, takes only some relatively common sequence of events to escalate matters. Doesn't even have to do with gambling.
As for the few dedicated professionals - you could count them on the fingers of one hand - today's casinos throw them out the front door. On the other hand, and much more commonly, the few guys who manage to consistently score some pocket change are quietly cheated, and otherwise discouraged from playing. It's a lot cheaper than the legal paperwork. Yeah, I know. A lot of casinos are penalized, so the casinos don't cheat. Problem with that argument is that the penalties are nonsensical. Nothing stuff for letting a player dance on a table. Why would the casinos cheat, they don't have to? Hear that one a lot too.
But, we don't all hear about the actual cheating because there aren't any writers with the "balls" to go after the actual stories where those arise. Same as you won't find a serious lawyer to represent you if it happens to you, and you want to take it to the next level (out of hellry). Lawyers depend upon the business. You'll get a cheap lawyer, only to find out that he's trying for some of that outsourcing, himself. Lol.
Society is a great thing, as you play along with the Simon Says. But, what's the point of that? An other sort of question. Do we deserve immortality? If you don't know enough to know that it's been acquired, then you're out in left field. Nobody's going to tell you that either.
(Glad I copied this, it didn't get through the first time. Some sort of glitch with this board.)

How much have you ever tipped for a royal, asshole? While you are trying to get Ozzy to tip off alan for the information on the Rincon royal progressive. You phony asshole.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Nothing....and only those intimidated by others do such wasteful things. That cheapskate Ozzy OTOH would have nothing without Alan, and along comes creepy & sleazy broke mickey to take the credit.
Pathetic.
The credit I would have liked was a link to this Forum... and the traffic it would bring. That credit would have bee. Very valuable.
MrV put up your link a while back at the Wizard of Vegas. That's how I found you. And, I always drop links in my online travels too.Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson
I don't post (much) at WoV because of the Wizard's hypocrisy, and willingness to sell himself out.
Maybe you would like that, but with all the transvestite and homo-based discussion that goes on over there that the Wizard for some strange reason has tolerated, it's best they stay in their hideaways where they can bother the same people while the inexperienced and stupified collection of useless administrators WoV forum employs, continue to k iss butt in disturbing ways.Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson
