Las Vegas F1

[MDawg]

One thing you can tell, when UNKewlJ makes with the all bold sentences one after another something has really gotten to him. You can practically see the hand cocked onto his side, the bent elbow and the high pitched whiny voice complaining, "Now wayyyyt a minute, Misterrrrr."

MDawg's providing a valuable service to these threads where kew stupidly & continually chooses to insert his measly two cents into. I mean, who doesn't enjoy being reminded of the humiliating depths of kew's compulsive lying, concocted internet "pro bj player" life, and dumb made-up stories about himself and others? And in the process, we get to see how the vast majority of past and present VCT posters--many of whom kew tries to claim are for some reason his supporters--have no problem eviscerating the fool for his lies and nonsense.

You are a very sick dog (not Dawg, but dog). You are a narcissist, liar, very insecure and small person and a degenerate losing type gambler telling a story. And seemingly angry as hell at real players that win using math and advantage play techniques. You are the absolute person the casinos want. Someone that loses money in exchange for some overpriced comps worth a tiny fraction of his losses. That is the casino model and Mdawg fits it perfectly.

The casinos were pretty busy yesterday, all around. Not crowded, but busy.

UNKewlJ is just sore because he couldn't find the kind of clients he is seeking, "those" types apparently didn't come into town.

Vegas too empty to get tricks and so you're broke and whiney? What’s going on dear man, please tell us.

I asked around and was told Vegas wasn't really busy.

My comments about F1 were based on what happened last year, at the first race: it was deemed profitable.

I used to be a fan of F1, back when Senna, Prost and Mansel were ACTUALLY racing, with sharp passing, slicing and dicing: but they're gone, the cars have changed, and "The Show" is now about as entertaining as NASCAR, i.e. "not much fun at all," given things have devolved to playing "follow the leader."

I attended short track races in Portland years ago, til it ended: now THAT was TRUE racing.

Reportedly this year's race is a huge failure.

Stands were empty for the practice races.

We will see if the event itself is full, or if that will also be empty. A listener to my PFA show bought a practice race ticket for under $100 on the secondary market.

Last year I went because I (barely) got room and race comps. This year I had no such thing, so I didn't go. Main reason I even bothered coming into town was because I thought it would be a unique thing for my son to see. I asked him if he was interested, he said yes, so I went. Otherwise I was just going to let the tickets go to waste.

Was almost sorry I did because I shot off $8300 at Ultimate X that night, but then just as I was minutes from quitting, I hit a $2600 quad aces, so I stayed a little longer. Less than 10 minutes after that, I was dealt a 10-way royal and got $64k.

I don't think I'll top that trip.

Experienced gamblers lose faith in choice. For how many months and years did I scramble to play certain AP machines and as soon as something better came around AP-wise, I didn't bother with them and the grands hit. It's kind of hard living believing in predestination.

KEWL KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

[kewlJ]

I don't care what the promoters claim or the news media parrots, or what obscene number the tourist agency comes up with, interest in this F1 event was way down from last year. Walking traffic on the strip was that of an average to below average Saturday night, just a little harder to get around. And the casinos, while they weren't empty like a couple nights prior, just weren't that busy for a Saturday night either. I got an open seat at a BJ table almost every casino I walked in. Most Saturday nights are not like that. Maybe the premium seating ares of the race and other touristy spots were busy, I don't know.

I did have one funny experience where I was walking down the strip on the west side and stopped for a second for the person I was with to catch up and some girl with race credentials around her neck ran up and told me I couldn't stop to watch the race. I told her I didn't give a shit about the race and got to briefly explain that all the race is to me is traffic nightmare and construction detours for 2 months. She meekly gave me a 'I'm sorry". Almost sounded sincere.

It really was ideal situation for me. When I play the strip on a Saturday night or other busy time, I am looking for somewhat crowded conditions to play in the shadow of other bigger bettors and not stand out, but want to be able to fairly easily get a seat also. With extra tables open like they were expecting bigger crowds than there were, it was the best of both worlds for me. Didn't turn into a huge winning night or anything, but there was easy EV to be had, with minimal hassles.

Next up: Thanksgiving weekend and then the rodeo weekends. BTW, I will take the rodeo people over the F1 and people any day. At least the rodeo people don't tear up the strip and hold the rodeo there.

I caught the second half of the race on TV: what a bore: as predicted it was "follow the leader."

KJ, I'd read that the first year F1 did all it could to prevent people from watching the race without paying for it, but are you saying that you were not allowed to espy it while walking on an open, public sidewalk?

Sounds...oh, I don't know..."illegal?"

The F1 is just typical Vegas nonsense and foolishness, like that ridiculous Sphere. Just the typical mal-investment and circus and breads idiocy symptomatic of dying, late stage capitalism, hey hey.

[jdaewoo]

This retard clearly can't afford a concert at the Sphere.

And you are a fat fuck that no one here trusts. In the gambling world that’s as low as it gets.

Crackhead is fired up today!

At least you own something in your pathetic life. Congratulations!

Final tally of purchased tickets: 134,000 over 3 days

Keep in mind a lot of these were 3-day tickets, which were counted as 3 people (lol)

Also keep in mind a lot of people did NOT show up for the first few days, on their 3-day ticket.

Last year's paid attendance was 315,000.

Final day only had 57,000 paid tickets, which while the best of the 3 days, still left a lot of seats empty.

Gigantic FAIL.

Hotel/Airbnb prices way down compared to 2023.

Before the event, Caesars CEO Tom Reeg warned that F1 was going to be disappointing for the company compared to last year.

Why would this ever be illegal to hire some girl to tell people to move along? It is someone's first amendment right. Perhaps some sort of misdemeanor harassment ordinance?

Were you even a real attorney? Mdawg as obsessed and crazy has he may be always seems to understand the law. Often with detailed insight.
