    Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.


    Smart is knowing a Tomato is a fruit.

    Wise is knowing a Tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.



    I am glad to get my full posting rights back! Thank you Dan!

    We're off the highs at the moment, but definitely in the green today.
    I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.

    I did do one quick trade AMZN 2002 to 2004.

    Like to see AMZN break past 2050 this week though, for the sake of my long terms.

    Nathan, you need to realize that just because you stand up for somebody doesn't lock them into automatically having to stand up for you. You should stand up for somebody because that's how you feel or it's the right thing to do. NOT BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY WILL RETURN THE THE "FAVOR"(I don't know that you're actually doing anyone any favors when you stand up for them) I think you're better off having people be honest with you. Mind you, I said honest, not downright hurtful and horribly mean. A little razzing never heard anybody.... you certainly deserve that.

    Been some discussion of whether "free play" will carry over post coronavirus. Free play is mostly for slots (although I suppose the free promo chips they give me occasionally could also be considered free play), but as far as player reward points or comp related offers, most of the casinos have emailed me stating that deadlines and validity of all offers are being extended. All this really means for me is that for example, whatever highest tier I have achieved in whatever casino player club will remain even if I don't play again for a long time.

    When I stopped playing about a decade ago I was still getting free rooms and comps for literally years after I last gave them any action. This was partly because all my hosts became my friends and loved to take care of me whether I played or not, but it was also because I was such a big player that they assumed that I was good for future action. So thinking or worrying that everything drops off just several months after your last play is not right thinking.

    And thinking the offers kept coming for several years after play was stopped is not right thinking either. Also, the hosts had zero to do with it. What happened is the code programmed into the marketing computers had you flagged for receiving offers longer than the lower tier players as they tried to get you back in.

    Players like to think their hosts, aka their "close buddies" look forward to seeing them because they're all such good friends at their "homes away from home". Strong, experienced players know better.

    There's really no way to know what happens after you stop playing for years, unless...you stop playing for years.

    This is what happened to me after I stopped playing: In my case for a while, yes offers came in the mail. But those came for only about a year. After that first year with no action, it wasn't any offers coming in the mail or otherwise, it was just my phoning up my host and asking him to take care of us, which he did for years. At first he kept taking care of us fully, RFB, and then just room comps. After a few years, he said that he couldn't do room comps any longer, and that he would still give us casino rate, and this never went away. By us, I mean me and whoever was accompanying me on the trips.

    I've compared notes with other people who stopped playing, but I haven't heard of anyone else still getting comp'ed consistently with free rooms for three years after any action stopped, so I really doubt this had anything to do with any "computer" generated offers - I am sure it had to do with hosts who were my buddies taking care of me.

    And then I started playing again in 2018, and of course ever since then my action has been all recent, so the comp clock "restarted" so to speak.

    I recall a trip back when I played heavy that a gf of mine showed up to meet me, and I decided not to go - went out of the country with friends instead. She ended up staying in my suite for days on a full RFB comp, and my host knew I wasn't there, but he wiped out the entire bill including the tips, even though I never showed to play at all that trip.

    Another time back during my really heavy play days, my host told me when I checked in that he had a surprise for us (a male buddy and I had gone on that trip) - he had checked in a group of six girls into the room adjoining our suite.

    “____, I think you really should meet these girls. You’ll like them.”

    We knocked on the adjoining door the first night and met them all, and the next few nights were a blast, we hung out with those girls, went to dinner all eight of us together each night, it was crazy the heads that would turn when two guys and six hotties marched in, one of them ended up becoming an on and off gf of mine for years. All were from L.A. – each was a battle of the implants type situation, thin, stacked and beautiful. Eventually we figured out that my host had simply put their room on my comp. I never saw the bill, so what did I care?

    For all I know, in the years when I was not playing and my buddy hosts were still taking care of us, they were putting our room tabs on the tab of some whale who would as well, never notice or care. In fact, on at least one occasion which came years after I had stopped playing, I now recall seeing the guy's name on our room bill when I clicked through the $0.00 folio on the TV screen, so I assume this to be the case. Some Japanese name, obviously some big player.

    I would like to think, actually I know you are smarter than believing any host is your “friend”.

    They don’t want you to win long term and understand the math on why they want you there. Yes they can customize offers at your level to get you back. But it’s not because they want to hang out with you.

    Surely you understand that.

    Just imagine what the hosts would think if they viewed these forums and found out the mdawg has been playing their -EV game with an advantage all this time. Here they are tossing around comps thinking there’s a chance they’ll recoup their millions.

    Joke is on them. Suckers.

    I know the difference between the hosts who say "Win some money!" and it's obvious that this is a line worn smooth through years of use, that they lay on everyone, and the ones who are really looking out for you. I have some hosts who are no longer in the business that I remain in touch with, play golf with. I even dated a couple of my female hosts back then before my long break from gaming.

    It just depends.

    You’re not Ben Roethlisberger are you by any chance?

    Sorry if I just outed you.

    The market sold off towards the end of the day. I still ended up ahead for the day though, mostly due to my long terms, AMZN , BAC and TSLA.

    The market is going to go up and down but it will recover solidly, eventually.

    That’s the funniest one I’ve heard in a long time. Couldn’t stop laughing.

    I had an order in for AMZN 2011 but was just a tad too cheap, so I missed it. I haven't traded anything today, but my long terms including my long term AMZN are almost all up.

    I can see AMZN hitting 2200 post earnings, I just have a feeling - no insider info this time!

    BTW if AMZN hits 2200 soon, I'll buy everyone here a round, because that will pretty much mean that my portfolio is back to where it was at the highs of February.


    I'm MDawg from California. I'm going to buy you a drink! What the hell do you think about that?


    BTW Axel wonders how I know about "old movies" - I'm familiar with every movie that won the Academy Award Best Picture, since Wings (1929). And just a lot of movies in general. Homeless DarkOz must have edited a lot of the movies I watched. Actually that hobo wasn't an editor he was just a splicer.

    From what I understand even other homeless look down on DarkOz. That, uh, makes a statement!

    The days of winning consistently on ANY casino game, +EV or -EV, and constantly getting showered with comps, offers, free play or chips, RFB, or casino hosts being your "friend" are and have been over for quite a while. So anybody who presents stories of constant winning along with getting piles of comps w/o being restricted or banned and who actually believes casino hosts like them because of their sparkling personality, is downright delusional. Stories are great to read, but they have to be grounded in reality.

    I didn't feel I had the knowledge or constant playing time to make such a statement, but I noticed that and simply was happy with $60-$100 wins because any play after approximately I hour of trying was futile. Sure, there were exceptions- but at my level of play, $200 was a huge win to send.me home. I hate losing and finally learned to love short term strategy.

    Wait, are you saying that Today, it's like checkin' into an airport? That if I show up with four million in a suitcase, that some 25 year-old hotel school kid is gonna want my social security number?
