I don't get the comparison nor the criticism Garnabby. You seem to not like MrV for whatever reason. Seems like because he enjoys smoking a little weed, which is completely legal and no worse than having a couple drinks. very judgmental of you. And as far as Gambling, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a recreational player doing what MrV does. That is why it is called "recreational". AND such a recreational player has every right to share what he does on gambling forums. They are gambling forums, not strictly AP forums.
I love reading trip reports (at WoV) from recreational gamblers, that visit Vegas for 3, 4, 5 days and share details of each session, their meals and the shows they see. Just reading you can feel what a good time they had. And here is the best part: They don't try to make up some shit about winning when they haven't. They aren't trying to impress anyone.
I can only hope in a few years when I wrap up my career, I can enjoy life like MrV. Having made my living in casinos, I can't imagine I will spend a lot of time in them as a recreational player, but who knows. maybe I will take up craps and see if I can hit 18 y.o.s in a row.(rest in Peace, Alan)
