It's a non-commercial site. I make that clear in one of the opening entries.
Are you suggesting that I'm selling something? When you see an ad, you let me know. My ad, an offshore ad, clickbait, any ad.
Go ahead and try to hire me through the blog or website, which isn't even up. You can't hire me. I'm not selling anything. In fact, I state that in one of the initial blogs.
Other than that, great comments. You're spot on, as usual. Thanks a bunch.
So BoSox, if you were implying that I was selling something (and I do not want to leap to conclusions here -- allow others to do that, LOL), after you have actually read the opening entries, and after you or anyone you know has tried to buy something, and it turns out you were wrong, will you say, "I was wrong; I apologize?" It isn't hard to do, although Fonzie had a helluva time saying it on Happy Days. But he got over it and was able to say, I was W-R-R-O....W-R-R-O-O-...W-R-R-O-O-N-N-G-G.
Take a lesson from The Fonz.

In my first reply I said:
"redeitz, NO I am not suggesting or implying that you are selling anything."
However, I re-thought this through and changed my opinion on the matter. Mr. Wise Guy, I think that you are in fact advertising and selling yourself for free, in hope of possibly having big name recognition down the road. Apparently, you wont be happy until one day when you will be recognized by everyone when you are walking down the street.
Hey bud thanks for posting this. I'll be your #2 reader. Rob already has reader #1 locked the fuck up.Originally Posted by redietz

Take your underhanded sarcasm and shove it up your ass you arrogant prick. I do not think you went about it right in how you disclosed the new start up blog for notifying members. Heaven forbid if someone else has a different view than you.

The last blog entry had to do with flying into LV and thinking of Jean Scott. But maybe you're correct.Originally Posted by mcap
Who knows what redietz expects to get out of all this--other than praise from the usual few suspects? No different than anybody else who craves attention.
I read the spot on Kaepernack, where it's almost like Red's performing the typical misguided liberal lip-service by apologizing for being white. Where's the part about 1-1/2 years ago when John Elway invited him in for a tryout, offered him a QB job, but the intolerant America-hating activist and racist spook accused Elway of all sorts of insulting things before turning it down, saying the money was beneath him? Then his stupid tryout stunt in Atlanta this year, concocted for the sole reason or hatred against the NFL and whites. This is clearly a confused and angry man who wants all the attention and all the money....but none of the work.
I took his infatuation with Jean Scott with a grain of salt. All he does is repeat Jean's own talking points as she drifted off into retirement. It could never be, of course, that she and Brad were very fortunate to have caring enough children to take care of them as they finally ran out of funds from 20+ years of almost daily gambling. Naturally it made no sense to him to consider how such a couple who did nothing but Win Win Win and raped all LV slot clubs over and over again, we're continually and without interruption, invited in to do it non-stop for all those years. Nope....doesnt fit the redietz agenda. What I'd have liked to see is how the Queen used to write about never selling her Indiana home when she first came to LV, but then had to suddenly rush home to unload it after being hit by the reality that IS living in LV for nearly every single newly-arrived wide-eyed fool.
And finally....red thanks her for his knowledge about slot clubs and getting maximum comps. WTF?? Are you really that dense? You couldn't figure out how to best manipulate available benefits to your maximum advantage WITHOUT her guidance? Do you think Bob Dancer needed her to understand anything? Do you think I needed her tutelage? How about axel, mickey, boz, max, or any of the ap's here or at WoV? What is wrong with you? Her best attribute was in how to make money off of marketing herself through books, columns and media appearances. But of course you missed that.
I had Jean's book in the early days. As I remember I learned things about working drawings from her. Jean has always been a player's advocate. Rob's claims of them being broke are pure fantasy. He wishes it so but it's not true. And please, Rob, spare us from the "I know someone that told me all about their being broke." I really don't get your need to put out disiniformation on them.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
Are you saying you'd haven't of figured out drawings if not for her book?? My point was, those who forged ahead once they became involved in gambling and decided to make it important in their lives, did not require someone else to tell them how to make the very most of it. Sure she helped countless occasional/recreational/seemingly "uninterested in doing anything but hitting jackpots" gamblers.....basically helping those type of people become addicted to slot clubs, casino hosts, and anything that would boost her brand.Originally Posted by mickeycrimmI had Jean's book in the early days.

As far as my believing they finally went broke---I don't care a thing about whether they are or not. It's my belief, based on them selling a house that she told me directly to my face that she would never need to do. Based on how the vast majority of gambling dreamers who move to LV with both guns a-blazin' thinking the casinos would always be their own personal ATM's. Based on how it's almost impossible except for those with extreme discipline and purpose to be able to play machines nearly everyday and continuously win. Based on how people addicted to slot clubs and "freebies" (you've seen a host of them here--esp. in the threads about CET Total Rewards) are willing to lose thousands every year just to be able to "talk" about their oh-so-special slot club status. And based upon how her and Brad are THE POSTER CHILDREN for owning the bewilderment patent on how it is that people can write about how they win year after year after year while getting so-called maximum value from every slot club in town, while the beaten down casinos have zero problems welcoming them back in time after time to do it all over and over again.
The main point here is, no player or players as in this case, constantly win esp. on machines, every year for over TWENTY YEARS, and never gets banned from playing. ESPECIALLY if one of those two people boastfully writes about it in the media ALL THE TIME. it makes no sense, and just as she and Brad both told me early on, she's on a teacher's pension and he's on a military pension. 2+2=4.
It's all a common sense issue. That's why I believe it to be true. Do you have any info to counter that, other than they're a sweet old couple with too many medical issues?

Sadly though over time even the top AP's get beaten down just like the casinos. Like right here on this board one member suddenly seen the light and is moving out of town for a chance at a easier life. He is about to purchase a farm, he already bought the new truck and is starting a new beginning. Hopefully, he moves down south as he possesses many of the same prejudices of some of the oldtimers down there. I wish you well monet.

Not sure I see your point.Originally Posted by BoSox
I am certainly not some Top AP as you suggest.
I've just been in the culture for over 30 years.
As I have said before the whole thing is not even close to what is told on forums or the internet.
Most of it is Lie, Cheat and Steal and when the party is over you will have no friends around.
This holds true in just about every walk of life but more so in the world of Vegas or as you call it AP.
Nothing lasts forever.
Things change and if you can't change with them you get left behind.
I had a good run but the truth is the Games and Advantages are different.
It took them over 25 years to adjust.
Time or Age catches up to us all and eventually people die, houses get sold... etc etc.
It gets harder to push the buttons for hours/days on end.
I know a few guys around 55 that still do it which is impressive but after hitting 40 the years of Steak House and Buffets catch up to some of us.
If I am able to actually retire to the country and a farm it will be more of a hobby farm.
I grew up in more of a rural setting till moving to Vegas in the early 90s.
I'm just tired of the Desert and would like to get around some grass and trees before blooping.
I am finding it difficult to get everyone on board to uproot over 1600 miles to a new beginning.
Especially since other family members have recently opened a small restaurant.
Whatever though... get back to blowing guys in the parking lot.
I don't have any proof of anything just like you don't.

She recently wrote in her blog that they sold two condos in Las Vegas that they owned. These two were different than the one they lived in. If she had a house in Indiana after they moved to Vegas I didn't know about it. Brad is wheel chair bound now. The casinos are no life for them anymore. It doesn't mean they had to go broke to realize that. Do they still need the house and condos? I don't think so. I know what I'm planning and it's all going to be simple and easy. Get rid of the stuff that weights you down. At their ages they just need one home to live in.
People want to be close to their kids not just when they get old, always. My mother and step-father both moved to Juneau, Alaska in 1970, four years after they divorced. He was already remarried. He scored a good job in Alaska and the kids wanted to go. My mother moved there because of the kids. She was a cook and could get a job anywhere. People want to be around their kids. They lived there until they both died. Why? Because that's where their kids lived. So saying that J & B had to move to Georgia to be with family because they are broke is not very good speculation. People want to be with their families. You've written about that many times.

I am glad to get my full posting rights back!Thank you Dan!
I don't choose to think the worst about them. I've written many times about how much I respect what Brad told me about his naval career and talked to him about my father's WWII 4 years' service in a submarine. I've also said how impressed I was with how Jean--as an English teacher--was able to succeed as she has as a gambling industry marketeer.
Jean can say anything she wants about selling multiple properties in LV and nobody is going to fact check any of it. Why not? Because she has never been a polarizing or controversial individual in order to protect her reputation and brand. I simply don't believe that take, because of her having to sell that Indiana home a year after telling me she never would.
Here's something I am aware of but you couldn't be. Yes, people like to be nearby their family. I agree. But....when you get old, the LAST thing you want to do if at all possible, is burden or ask to burden your children and/or grandchildren with home care responsibilities IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO MOVE INTO A NEARBY NURSING HOME where they are easily accessible, or a nursing home anywhere!
This is all pretty simple to me. How do you explain 20+ years of constantly beating and raping the slot clubs of the same casinos over andover andover again, while ALWAYS being welcome. Especially at their favorite place: Gold Coast? Her story might be one of a feel-good nature when tossing the softball questions, but I take a few issues and analyze them from the inside out. As much as I respect Brad and firmly believe Jean to be a truly good person, It just doesn't pass the sniff test.
Over the past several years Jean wrote a lot about the constant erosion of slot club benefits and vp edges. I think it got to the point it just wasn't worth it to them anymore. I know from my own experience that big edges weren't always constantly there, they popped up from time to time and I pounced. A lot of casinos in southern Nevada. Which one is going to put on the juicy promotion this time? That's what the mail box was for. The competition between the casinos was advantageous to some players.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
But video poker has been fading away for years. It finally reached a point where, between that and their old age, the finally bailed out. But you don't have to go broke to bail out. You just quit when the edge is not there anymore. Admittedly, they worked smaller edges than I would have.

I couldn't be aware of what? It's not a matter of whether you can afford nursing home care or not. An elderly person who has SS as their only income qualifies for nursing home care. I dont' know if SS or the state or the feds pay for it but all elderly low income people in need of it get nursing home care.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
You've jumped to a lot of conclusions. They rented an apartment near her kids and grandkids. Jean is still in good shape. It's Brad thats down. But still not disabled enough for a nursing home. But when the times comes I'm sure we will be seeing him enter a nursing home. Rob, they are not there to burden her kids, they are there to be near their kids. I just dont' know where you come up with this stuff.
