My attitude is that I don't assume going in that anything is beatable except what I've already beaten. Mickey, like most professional gamblers, has a different, more speculative approach. I do very little speculating.
Okay, I just read mickey's post above, so I'll add this. I don't buy into the logic. I know things about Las Vegas that are known by only a very few people. My providing details about those things would make it seem as if I had to be a part of what I'm discussing. But I was not. I was simply positioned to get those details due to my experience and personal connections. That kind of intimacy with people in the know can be used to create a very credible, seamless storyline. "Singer," as I have said many times, was about as intimate with Las Vegas as I was, partly due to his relationship with DiRocco.
Personally, I hope Argentino did as he said. There are a couple of details that don't jive, but they don't make a lock case against it. I'm sure mickey has considered them.
