Fraud (bob) 21,
every single positions that you take just happens to be the position that the casino industry would take. I wonder why that is?
Tipping: It is always the casino dealer that are the biggest crybaby's about tipping. Let me tell you something, a dealer in a casino is NOT a service type job like a waiter or bartender, despite that Dealers have decided they are entitled to a percentage of a players winnings. Dealer is a low skill job. And that is how they should be paid. It is beyond me why a dealer thinks they are entitled to a percentage of winnings from a player? Hey is the cashier/ticket person at the sportsbook entitled to a percentage of winning sports wager bets? When people go to the horse race track do you tip the guy that punches out your ticket? How many players tip their bookie when they have a winning week?
These jobs at the casino are simply low level, low skill jobs that can and are being replaced by technology. Hey do people playing those big screen video blackjack games tip the dealer?
If dealers aren't happy with their pay scale they should talk to their employer. Those billionaires are the ones responsible for paying their employees a decent wage. What a scam it is, by who ever came up with that the players should make up the difference in the low pay because the casino owners don't. Complete bullshit!
Next...The young player that won $8000 and didn't tip. Where you watching this guy for days weeks? (if so how is that.....oh yeah because you were the dealer} Or was this one day, one session? If he won that kind of money in one session, the majority of that $8000 win was variance. Only a small portion was EV. Now if AP's are going to tip, and there really is no reason to, they should tip a small portion of EV, not the total win. Otherwise, they have lost money on that play. But again, there is no requirement or even reason to tip. That is bullshit that dealers unhappy with there pay came up with.
"Winning players should give up a percentage of their win". What bullshit! The players put up all the risk, yet the dealer wants a percentage of the win.
Talk about entitlement.
Next: you repeating the stupid and false old argument that AP's contribute nothing. Every dollar we spend contributes to the economy and helps keep people employed, whether it is the food we buy at the grocery store, the gas we put in our car, eating at restaurants. Everything! This isn't a thousand years ago, when everyone "made" something....the butcher, the candlestick maker. Today's economy is mostly fueled by spending. And as long as the money is earned legally, the spender is contributing to the economy and helping to keep people working. You can even argue that illegal money earned does the same, but I don't want to go there. In the last 9 months, I have sold and then purchase a home for hundreds of thousands of dollars, creating a pretty nice payday for 2 different realtors. I'll bet they don't think I contribute nothing.
Next:
"you have differed with me on two points mindplay and beast mode". I don't care for that term beast mode, but I will allow it. Both these issues are issues of casino cheating, one (mindplay) ruled against by the casino commission, who rarely breaks with the casino industry. That's how blatant it was!
The second (ASM cheating) would be ruled against if a case ever got to the commission or courts. I simply wasn't willing to bring that case, as it would have been detrimental to my career at this point in time. So I brought it to light for players to look at and decide for themselves. Both AP's and non-AP's because it was/is not only AP's that were being cheated. Non-AP's who had no clue about any of it were also being cheated.
And let's talk about what occurred in the aftermath. The casino that I named by name, immediately pulled the 2 ASM's in question. Why would they do that?
AND, although I have never mentioned this and will get flack for doing so now, you know what happened to the ASM, that I acquired? After I learned what I could and confirmed my suspicions, I resold it. To whom? To probably the top table game AP alive to today. The guy who literally wrote "the book" about table game advantage play.
He confirmed my finding and then guess what he did? Learned what he could (which was a lot more than what I could) and then used that to exploit machines all over the world. He didn't file a lawsuit either. He didn't go to gaming. He didn't even warn other players AP and non-AP's . He just used the knowledge to enrich himself. I guess I am not going to fault him for that. He IS an advantage player and maybe the top AP, certainly the one of the top table game AP. But at least I warned others (and received all kinds of shit for it).
But it's funny
every fucking issue, you have come down on the side of the casino industry. I wonder why that is? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a fucking duck.
