Let's be quite clear here, Alan.

I'm not saying you have a gambling problem, as you enjoy it and are able to keep doing it plus keep a roof over your head.

But you can no longer play at the level you once did at craps or VP.

Part of that must be related to your divorces: those divorce attorneys can be devils.

But, and this is my opinion based on years of reading your posts, you seem unable to rat hole wins and keep them off of the felt and out of the machnes.

You hit a hundred grand at VP: how long did those winnings last?

Not to brag, but to compare: unlike you, I have "upped my game" since retiring and am betting more than before.

You claim you were barred from Caesars and MGM due to being a supposed DI; I wonder if that is just smoke and mirrors from you, a convenient way of explaining away why you can no longer afford to play at casinos with higher minimums.

I could be wrong, in fact I hope I am because through it all I think you're a good person: a bit stymied by life perhaps, but with a good heart.
