    Thank you.

    I forget to mention though that you have to watch out for casino personnel when quitting while you’re ahead otherwise you might get the dreaded tap on the shoulder and the “Sir, we noticed you are quitting while you are ahead. We don’t want your action here anymore.”

    I have a workaround on this, which I will share.

    When I get the dreaded tap on the shoulder, I calmly explain that I'm a socialist at heart, and any income above the 35K American average, I seek to lose. Therefore, what the casino personnel need to realize is that I am trying my best to lose, and I am quitting while ahead so I don't accumulate too much wealth that day and I can lose it the next day. That seems to satisfy most of them.

    Occasionally, however, I get a snarky casino person who wants to know what the difference is between a strategy for winning and a strategy for losing. I just roll my eyes at them and tell them to wise up.


    Note: this palaver may qualify for an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit.

    Regnis, "palaver" was not uncommon in old episodes of Wagon Train and Gunsmoke. Not only do I need to evaluate the audience, I need to be aware of my age!

    Richard Boone plays the bad guy really well.
    Not in the show Have Gun, Will Travel but in many movies.
    Great Character Actor and what you might consider a Man's Man.

    Excellent!

    Another thing you can do while quitting while your ahead is to camouflage your play by sometimes quitting while you are behind.

    This way the casino will have a tougher time figuring out what you are doing.

    Now I know some people might say “But aren’t you going to give up some profit doing that?”

    Well you have to consider it a cost of doing business. By not always quitting while you are ahead the casino will have a tougher time figuring out what you are doing so you will get more playtime and more overall profit before they throw you for being one of the few people that’s figured out you can gain the upper hand on the casino by quitting while you are ahead.

    Damn, that's brilliant! Camouflage quitting while ahead by quitting while behind. And if you're trying to lose, quit while behind to camouflage the quitting while ahead. This is what Trump neo-cons call "four-dimensional chess." Man, it's a whole 'nother dimension of thinking. I had a tough time playing that three-dimensional chess on Star Trek. This four-dimensional stuff may be beyond me.

    This requires serious cogitatin', as Jed Clampett used to say.

    Yes! In fact I think that poker players refer to this sort of thing as “Metagame”

    you could quit while you're ahead $4K at one casino, then leave and walk to another casino and do a stop loss at $2K


    can you dig it - you just netted $2K_____________☘ ☘ ☘ ☘ ☘


    then rinse and repeat_______ all day, all week, all month, all year, the whole decade____________________you're whole life


    you're the casino's worst nightmare - I'm totally on board now

    How much freeplay did he get for 60K?
    "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

    He won't say.

    Of course if he did say the rest of us could figure out if he's really making the money he claims. What is it, $20,000 per week... but he won't reveal how many weeks.

    What's interesting about some of the AP claims is the number of things left out.

    And you want us to believe everything that's left out, don't you?

    I get it.

    LOL

    Jdaewoo let me be blunt: you live in the AP fantasy world.
