These summaries were originally written when Alan Mendelson owned this site. As such, before the incursion by so many brilliant scholars, they were written so recreational gamblers could easily understand them. It's not evident to everyone that the lines at Caesars Palace and the Flamingo will be identical. When sheets are printed for some properties, they print the individual property name at the top of the sheets, not the company name.

I get a kick out of the term "sharps." And "value lines." Nothing like some meaningless jargon so you sound as if you know something beyond the ken of the "squares."

Old joke:

How do you know you're a "sharp?"
Because you're sharp enough to know it.

I await the definition of "value line" with bated breath.
