The only problem I have is that the couple of NFL Picks that he gave us didn't do so well.
I lost money.

Have you ever played Ultimate X?
The secret name of that game is called 2 for 1.
Tough to beat a game where you constantly pay double every time you hit that button.
It certainly happens but usually you go home broke with the money you came in with.
Nature of the Beast.
Vulture Ultimate X is certainly more safe.
Of course you know that as Scavenger is your bread and butter.

Two weeks ago you were in here telling us all how the Casino doesn't like to take the risk of paying out Ultimate X.
But now all of a sudden Rob gets the Casino to give him a 25 dollar Ultimate X play putting the Casino at Risk and they lose over a Million Dollars to him.
Talk about coincidence and perhaps a bit of contradiction.
And the Nine and a Half Inch Hung Mother Fucker predicted that it would happen and did it on his FIRST attempt after the prediction, in less than two weeks!!!
But Fuck all that.
I can believe all that.
What I have a problem with is tipping the EXTORTION CREW 20,000 dollars.
How much would you tip on a 1.5 Million Dollar Jackpot MC?
Me... I stiff everyone, take it all in cash and leave the jackpot on the machine as I do circle backs till I get into my car and make sure nobody is following me.
And I secretly pray that they do follow me and we get into a high speed chase ending in a shoot out where I get to go out in a blaze of glory with hundo's flying all over the place and on top of my body.
And someone records it all on their phone who uploads it onto YouTube and they make a movie about the whole thing.
Of course they change the whole story using their artistic license.
And they make me a non-binary or transgender person.
Rob did not say he would crush UX. He said he would play until he lost 400K or won 250K. But I get why you guys twist things up to suit your argument.

Yes, casinos avoid UX in high denom because they don't want the exposure. And even on the lower denom they put in bad payscales, 96% to 97% range.

Rob could have certainly negotiated them into the proposition. Casinos don't give blackjack players 20% rebates either. But Don Johnson, a very high roller, damn sure talked them into giving it to him. Money talks, bullshit walks. Those that can show some serious dough can get casinos to do a lot of things they won't do for the general public. So I see no conflict with what I said about high denom UX and what Rob negotiated himself into.

To be precise, though, Don Johnson did almost all of his rebate damage in Atlantic City, not Las Vegas.

I happen to actually know the details of some special negotiations for bigger sports players in Las Vegas. They are helpful and significant, but not overwhelming. On rare occasions, the general public has access to similar deals. So what I'm saying, mickey, is you shouldn't use the "money talks; bullshit walks" as some black box reasoning for why this or that happened unless you have direct knowledge of specifics for when it did make a difference in real life examples.

I have those specific examples, is what I'm saying, and I'm not sure you do. You "see no conflict," but how much experience or knowledge do you actually have regarding the subject of what a casino will do for someone putting 400K into immediate action? I know actual details and can provide specifics.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Anyone with the gumption can negotiate with casino personnel. Gamblers do it all the time. Read Whale Hunt in the Desert, dipstick. A lot of casinos will bend over backwards (like maxie taking a dick) to accomodate high rolling gamblers.
