You're missing the big picture V. Trump used bankruptcies as an important financial tool that worked in his favor every time. And how many billion is he worth? Hardly a loser. Failed casino owner, yes. But to be worth what he is today, he's succeeded at a very high level in order to overcome those. Then he won the presidency despite Hillary's criminal interference and Obama hiding in the shadows calling all the dirty shots.
Pence is a weak presence who thinks just because Evangelicals like him he has a chance. Is he still polling at zero?
It was comical watching CBS News interrupt the Price is Right for a special report about Trump being indicted over a nothing burger since the Deep State psychopaths don't want him going for re-election. Shows yet another example of how fully owned the media and most of the U.S. government is by the Deep State.
So who are we talking about today at the VEGAS, CASINO, GAMBLING forum? Oh Donald Trump. Ok, I get it. He used to own a couple casinos....20 YEARS AGO!
No his casinos are not the topic of discussion here on the VEGAS, CASINO, GAMBLING forum?
Ok, did he win the World series of poker that I missed? No?
Is he a member of the Blackjack Hall of fame or gambling hall of fame? No?
How about did he at least hit a 1.5 million dollar jackpot after telling everyone he was about to? No, to that too.
Ok well at least he owns a non-casino hotel in Vegas (make that co-owns). Do we discuss all non-casino Las Vegas hotel co-owners now? I guess that is where we are on the VEGAS, CASINO, GAMBLING forum.
Maybe tomorrow we can discuss the guy that owns the Downtowner Motel off Fremont, or one of the Motel 6's.

I still can't get past the latest kewlJ turnabout.
Couldn't you have abstained from the forum for say...one week? Just to make it a little less embarrassing?
Because this is a freaking gambling forum dude. I am sure there are about a million political forums to discuss that shit. There is even a politics section here. Why should this discussion dominate the Las Vegas section of a gambling forum?
You know what this place is like? It is like the senior citizens day care center where people drop off their aging parents while they work. You'll have the exact same discussion among the privileged old white guys expressing their grievances over the checker board.
Ron, I would even rather read about your summer up in Tahoe in your cramped camper.
I read you went out on your boat yesterday. In keeping with Rob Singer tradition, could you run down to the marina, climb up on a boat that doesn't belong to you and snap/post a picture? Try to have the picture facing the lake so it doesn't look like you are docked. And do it quickly before security come after you, screaming "get of that boat....it doesn't belong to you".
Everyone who declares bankruptcy uses it as an "important financial tool". That is no reason to be impressed.
Lets compare him to others - even those more self-made to get a feeling for whether his # of bankruptcies is normal. I have no idea how to do this but I am curious.
The other fact you can't really get past is that he did that same real-estate hustle that the HCL poker guy did. Selling bullshit dreams to suckers. Magical methods that don't exist and for 5 figures. I can google references too if others need a refresher. That isn't shit normal business men do. That is real dirt.

So either you are embarassed by this whole thing like you should be and want this thread to work its way off first-page or you just absolutely completely totally can't help yourself.
You do bring a lot to this forum though kewl. lol
edit - Can you at least point a link to Rob's boat picture lmao.
I am not the least bit embarrassed by this thread. If you think I have something to be embarrassed about, you are reading too many PM's from Mdawg, who is apparently PMing people like you.
I shared a event, an experience that I had as a blackjack player who plays for a living, just like I have shared hundreds, maybe thousands of experiences since I joined my first forum in 2006. I have shared both good experiences and bad. Winning and losing. This happened to be probably the most negative experience I have had. I shared it just as I have all the others, protecting myself by mis-directing away from the actual casino. At other times I will also delay the telling of an event by weeks or even longer if need be, although that was not the case with this.
Again, this was not some good experience that I am proud of. This was the single worst experience of my career. I would have so much rather this never occurred, and I went on my way doing my thing for another 10+ years. The money I get from this settlement will be a fraction, of what I stood to make in over 10 years. Even less over 15 years. So I can't imagine why people think this is some great thing I made up.
One other thing. I have never had anyone question what I do or how I do it until I got to this forum. I suspect that is because their are fewer blackjack players on this forum, and more people/players that admittedly don't know anything about blackjack card counting, including a very definite group of trolls. This is the first forum that anybody suggested a player couldn't do what I have done in Las Vegas for 10 years. Those people were Rob Singer and Blackhole and to a lesser degree, the late Alan Mendelson. None of the three even plays blackjack let alone have any card counting advantage play knowledge.
I took the time to explain to all of them, some of the techniques I used that allowed me to be welcome to continue to play. Blackhole started a long running thread where I answered every question in detail. Didn't matter because none of them wanted to hear it. They had their little minds, devoid of any blackjack card counting knowledge, made up.
So my point is there are people, admittedly both trolls, plus Alan, who I do not include in the troll group, but he did at times engage in some trolling behavior (we all do), that bitched and moaned that a player couldn't do what I do without major heat issue and countermeasures. So along comes this incident, a botched 86ing, and I share it, and they bitch and moan, not wanting to believe that either.
The fact is that it doesn't matter what I say with this group that I have labeled the "troll patrol". If I say the sky is blue and grass green....they will fight me, because I said it. And it really saddens me that you seem to be moving in that direction too. I just thought more of you than that.
Here is a little hint for you. There are a number of Las Vegas based AP's that participate on this forum. Some regularly and some less frequently from time to time. Most have connections to other Vegas and/or non-Vegas AP's and some have connections within the industry, which is fairly common among AP's in this town. A friend that works here, a brother-in law that works there. If my sharing of this incident wasn't accurate, you would have had a half dozen of these people, people you know, that would have been screaming this is not true. There has not been a one. Just a handful congratulate me, when again, I see nothing worthy of congratulations. I did not win in this situation. But I did share it as I have shared so many experiences. It is that sharing of anything that most definitely is coming to an end. I am not going to put myself through that anymore, whatever I do going forward.

I guess if I have anything at all to be embarrassed about, it is that because I am not a lawyer, I didn't know exactly how everything I was going through worked. I speculated about some things based on how I thought they worked. And I was wrong about some, like the timeline I was given says 60 days to respond when in Nevada it is 21. I am NOT a freaking lawyer, nor have gone through anything like this.
And yes, I mixed up plaintiff and defendant in one post. THAT is ALL these troll haters have on me.....something I said from the very beginning.....I am not a lawyer, don't know how everything works, had never been through anything like this and was learning some as I went. That is it! That is what they have on me. Well that and their ridiculous blinding hate.
Now I guess the real question of the day is: What would Donald Trump, former casino owner, think or say?
Boat pic? We spent about 6 hours cruising around the lake yesterday. I rented the boat and its Captain for the day near Zephyr Cove until the late afternoon storms rolled in. We're renting a fishing boat in King's Beach next week along with that ship's "captain" for half a day. Naturally, kew makes things up because he's stuck in his dumpy little hi-rise apt.that his clan pays for.
But I DO enjoy watching him react to the challenges a few are hitting him with. Especially interesting is how he feels the need to keep repeating "hey gang be fair--I'm not a lawyer and I make lots of stupid mistakes". Psst....don't tell him that's the reason people HIRE a lawyer....to keep the fabricating idiots from stumbling over their own two feet!
As previously said, he only keeps up this going back and forth after claiming he has the fortitude to not respond any more, because he just can't sit still until every last poster says they believe his fairy tale.
There has never been a weaker loser who has walked the earth. And to think he claims guys from Charlie's want to lick his ass.....
