For better-or-worse, we tend to stay at Harrah's resorts, and part of that is the offers. I would not consider my wife or I big gamblers, but I will spend a lot of time at the BJ tables (i.e., I've done 15 hour sessions; I've got good discipline when I'm down, but piss-poor when I'm up). I'm...

What is with this site? A guy asks a question, and gets 90% crap.

No it isn't. Let's see your math, assuming you can count.

Assuming BS, for an equal amount bet, a 3:2 table has it all over a 6:5 table. However, if you want to maximize time at tables instead of minimzing losses, and assuming the same rate of play, how much longer/shorter (hands would be a good measure) would you play placing a minimum bet at a $5 6:5...

Even as a novice, blackjack can be a lot of fun, and not that expensive! My advice, for a newbie, however, is DON'T EXPECT TO WIN. SET A LOSS BUDGET. You may win, but the house does have it over you. LEARN BASIC STRATEGY. Practice using the Basic Strategy game available on this site. Buy a...

What about a "business-casual" level of dress, i.e., no jacket/tie expected, but no golf shirts either? I'm looking for a place where my wife and I can go that would be a superb dining experience - good food, good value, good service. (isn't everybody!) We have dropped $500 (including wine) on a...

After a review of the website, Daniele, at 5700 euro ($7000US?) DO NOT BUY THIS.

In 13 responses, I don't think we've actually answered the poor gentlemen's question. BillytheBJkid (my apologies if I didn't quite get your name right) did give an answer, but it may not have been clear enough. My answer, borrowing on Billy's, is that you can probably get at least as good...

If you don't count, get a player's card. If you do, from what I've read here, you may want to, but not under your name. We are not what I would consider big gamblers, but we get a lot of free room offers through the players card. (One of my staff has parents who are much bigger gamblers...

I'm a BS player. Won't ASM's cause you to lose more? (More hands mean more losses) I thought CSM's gave a microscopic increase in advantage (still a loss) for BS players. Either case, more hands, greater losses. The other reason I don't like ASM's is that they don't let you step away for a...

And my stupid play... payed off 3 greens on a 3 red bet, looked at it long enough that the dealer caught on...

If it had been 16, do you think the critter would have done the same thing?

Apparently you haven't researched Canada very well. Gambling legislation is provincial, not federal in Canada. While I'm not saying that the unit is illegal, it would have to be approved by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. From the AGLC Casino Terms & Conditions and Operating...

Thank-you. Assuming your advice is accurate (sorry, had to say that), it is great!
