My newest win/loss statement! :D

Have you tried reading a book?

Of course; I read pretty heavily.

Reading is only part of a balanced life.

No idea if Tasha reads much, but reading cannot provide the feeling one gets every time they make a bet, putting their money at risk.

We just fucking love to tempt fate, don't we?

So gambling is part of a balanced life? People who don't gamble are missing something vital in their lives?

I never said that.

Gamblers and non-gamblers can both have a balanced or unbalanced life depending on the choices they make and the consequences that flow therefrom.

There is no shame in losing at a negative expectation game; choosing to play them does not mean a person is unbalanced.

I for one play negative expectation games and feel I've handled the Question of Balance rather well; YMMV.

Just maintain some discipline and self-control and things should be OK.

Some might say you protest too much.

[MisterV]

Sure, and some might say the earth is flat, Jesus is the son of god, and the moon is made of green cheese.

Who gives a flying fuck what "some might say?"

On a related note to the OP.
Are the powers that be trying to force everyone to eat more pork???
Pork is 97 cents a pound to 2 dollars a pound but Beef and Fish are 7 to 15 dollars a pound.
I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy.
Everyone knows that pork is very bad for you.
Heck, real Jews won't even eat it.
More for me.
I'm a Gentile.

Wow, what a unique book. Dave paints the true, real, and beautiful picture of God and how God has worked in his life and others by exploring the book of Luke. This is the good news of the Gospel. Need Volume 2 to finish the set, hope God's plan includes time for Dave to write the follow-up.

Judging by word counts?

Tasha, you will be happy to know that Mdawg took this little discussion of your to WoV. That is almost like YOU somehow got back on WoV, for a few minutes.

Of course Mdawg also references my response. Note to the dog, if you wanted to have legitimate discussions with real players, you shouldn't have demanded Wizard remove so many real players just because they questioned your little fantasy fairytale.

But I will clear some things up for you. Nowhere did I say only losing players got free play and / promo chip offers. I have gotten free play offers since the 3rd month I lived in Vegas, 12 years now. It has dwindled to almost nothing now, in part because my partner handled the machine play and he passed in 2018, and I just don't want to put in the time and effort, but mostly because offers aren't close to what they used to be. There was a time between him and I on just 2-3 accounts, we were getting 40-50 mailers a month and 5 grand in free play, and we didn't even play all that big, like some AP's do. It was always supplemental to my main BJ income, and now that supplemental is down to almost nothing.

So, NO, I never said ONLY losing players get free play. What I have said that is based on my experience offers like that are one of the first countermeasures taken, before backoffs or anything else. The very first place I was "no mailed" was South Point. I suspected why, but wanted to see what I could find out, so I just asked at the players club, why all of the sudden I wasn't getting mailers anymore. The lady first gave me a run-around answer about how that decision came from elsewhere, and when I played dumb and pushed just a little, she said something like "I am not supposed to tell you this, but you have been flagged as an advantage player." I could continued to play dumb and asked what that is, but because she had been honest, I just thanked her.

That was only the first one, there have been others. Others that "no mail" was the first countermeasure, followed sometime later by backoffs. Reduction and elimination of offers is often the first countermeasure when a casino decides or thinks a player is an advantage player and winning regularly. And frankly that is one of the tells that your story is BS. You would have us believe that the casinos you play, just allow you to win, win, win and just keep all the offers and freebies coming. That simply is not the way things work! Admittedly, I don't have experience playing the levels you play, I go but what players that I network with tell me and friends that work in the industry tell me.

With a higher limit player, I would think the casino would want to be absolutely sure before making any move. Last thing they want to do is cut off a good player and a good player to them is one losing not winning, most of the time. So while they might be a little extra careful which could buy that player more time than lower limit players, the higher limit players play stands out more and is easier to track. Bottom line is they are just not going to allow what you have been claiming all the winning and freebies on top for years and years. That just isn't how things work.

But on behalf of Tasha, I want to thank you for sort of quazi- getting her back on WoV with this discussion for a few minutes, while proving yet again that you simply don't know how things work and that your story is just that.....a story! Sometimes fun reading, but just a story.

Stick to sucking cock for money and telling fairytales about your blackjack experiences. So much bull shit in the post above. 40 to 50 mailers a month for 5k ? Literally You should have jumped from the nearest parking garage for wasting so much time. The fact that you put forth so much effort to type so many lies confirms you are a fictional fucking moron. You attempt to piece together things from legitimate players to concoct your fairytale forum life.

You moved to Vegas just like all the small town sex workers from around the country do. Gay ass trick

[kewlJ]

Fuck off asswipe.

[Ozzy]

Decisions Decisions, If I had no choice in the matter, would I want to be a 5 foot nuthin twig at a buck fitty soak and wet with steel toed boots, or 275 North of 6 feet. Pick your poison.

Proving what an idiot you are. Even at 6'3", a 275 lb man has a BMI of 34 and is severely obese, which comes with major health risks...self induced and preventable, major health risks

If you read it properly nimrod, I clearly stated both statures are not ideal especially being 275 at 50+ years old. Being a short skeleton like yourself, it might be easier on the ticker, but has to suck in day to day life. Especially with a failing heart at 39 years old.

There is no shame in losing at a negative expectation game; choosing to play them does not mean a person is unbalanced.

When we have a gambling win, the brain releases a feel-good chemical called dopamine. But when we gamble often, our brain gets used to the dopamine, which makes that winning feeling difficult to achieve. Consequently, we may have to gamble more and more to feel the same level of pleasure.

Certainly, it's not about "tempting fate", which, in the four of five dictionary definitions online, has to do with a lot of risk in a dangerous way.

There are a couple of really stupid articles online about the health benefits of casino gambling, which listed specific online casinos, as went along.

Anyway, insofar as a serious discussion, that such a topic was more or less forbidden "fruit" at the WoV must tell you something.
