It's a great pitch, although the setup might start to seem a bit far fetched by the 20th season.
Outstanding opportunity for gay or straight threesomes on the LV strip.
Betting 30 or 40 or 50 plays a day on boutique sports sites to work off generous bonuses while flying under the radar, then switching to another name/account and keeping on keeping on.
Outlasting the Munchkins of the world by being young (ish), hip, and ahead of the curve.
I'll stick with my original theory -- Time Lords who change appearances (and players' cards) upon death, and the poor sap pit bosses never catch on. You'd think the clothes might give them away, but hell, there's a hack for that. If they keep dying, and putting each other on the insurance, they can afford brand spanking new wardrobes after each "death."
Sounds like a plan.
You know, at some point, real people meet each other. The strip is really a claustrophobic place for those of us who have wagered there. It was different back when there were 35 companies actually competing as separate entities against each other. Now it's just a handful of companies, and they all have facial recognition software. Speaking of which, Blackhat is August 2-7, which may explain the Tuscany room rates I listed elsewhere.
