    Boards closing, discussion

    I'd like to second that, and perhaps offer the suggestion of assessing dues to become a serious member. What would a year's membership run--$25, 50, a hundred or more. Would kill two birds with one stone. Make the site generate revenue and secondly, eliminate all or most of the bozos who have...

    Strategies for keeping yourself off tilt

    Amen to that. I remember the week I flew all the way across country only to be dealt aces and 2's on almost every dd 11. There's no system for that.

    1st backoff

    How many decks were you playing? If you were playing a pitch game, especially SD, one hour can be a lifetime heat wise. If it were a shoe game, then the player's card was probably the issue.

    single deck losses

    Either way though, it's a lose-lose situation. They still have you made.:cry:

    single deck losses

    You gotta be kidding me. 1/2 the 6D spread of 6D? What, 1:6 or even 1:8 on SD, and you're talking about wild variance. You're lucky you didn't get the boot, especially at that place. 45 hours of SD at the same place? I hope it wasn't in the same month. K.O in single deck? Try RPC...

    Quick Trip to Reno

    If that's the case all that's left is the Grand Sierra out on Glendale tpwards Sparks and the Sands Regency, a few blocks west of Va. on 4th Street. Just be careful there after dark. They offer D-9 on DD.

    Quick Trip to Reno

    Sounds like you got a pretty good taste of the town. Like that SD,DOA, huh? You won't get too much hassle with your $5-20 spread as long as you don't make a fixture of yourself. The only things I see you missed were the "Big Three" on No. Va. Street" the Circus, Legacy and El Dorado. It never...

    Woo hoo! I got my first backoff!

    Didn't I see you there dressed like Tim Leary spreading 1-10 on SD and selling vegetation on Va. Street? :eek:

    RAPM Betting advice based on running count.

    Revere's use of the RC for betting is, in fact more accurate than the true count conversion which, for most normal folk can be rather vague if calculated in real table-time. It is based on exact numbers. The only drawback is it is rather cumbersome to learn. As Zg mentioned he has the charts...

    First Card is an Ace stragedy!

    Duh, let me guess. I bet this gimmick is offered around 1st and Lake.:joker:

    Question about 4,4 vs 4

    Your hunch is correct. Any time you are faced with a DD v. split option, always go the split route. #1, there may be multiple splits to come, thus allowing for the possibility of more $ on the felt in a favorable count and secondly, you are not limited to only one more card. Just imagine being...

    6:5 BJ is a Failure

    How about 7:5? It adds about .40%, yet very hard to beat.

    Wendover tips?

    You shouldn't get much heat playing 1:4 green there as long as you keep the sessions under an hour. The only place that might is the Nugget. Three of the properties (Peppermill, naturally; Montego Bay and the Rainbow are all owned by the Peppermill. The nugget is MGM and the Red Garter is...
