Some of my best memories: Inspired to learn hi-lo learned of and studied AO2 switched to Zen because of ZG got CVBJ and use it all the time - thanks Norm! got CVCX and learned that pixie variance dust does not change the numbers got CV shuffle got SBA inspired to sequence...

I have been trying to become an AP for several years now but I have become a degenerate gambler and I need help. I can't bring myself to contact any gamblers help groups as I am repulsed by the image of some Al Franken - Stuart Smalley-like character with an effeminate lisp encouarging me to...

Ameristar looks nice but when I stayed, there were hundreds of very small hairs in the shower and on the floor that were not mine - it was disgusting ! Panhandler asked for me money in the casino. I have stayed twice at the Horizon and I really enjoyed it - much older but nice rooms...

Do U.S. casinos provide player's cards (with associated promos and free-play) to non-citizens whose only source of ID is their passport?

Yes, you are correct - I meant to say she couldn't care less - thanks!

My wife hates casinos, she hates smoke, she hates the noise of slots, she can't stand drunken people and she hates gambling. I have taken her to casinos and gotten her lots of free cash, gifts and nice meals and lots of stays in fancy hotels. I have tried to get her to play slots with...

Casino Queen is one of the worst I have ever seen. It is no peek, and the pen is 40-50% !!!!!! With PC heat!!!!! It is nicely remodeled but the buffet even sucks. You get a nice view if the arch from there. Drop a couple $ in a slot and you will get several months of free slot $...

Thanks to Kasi for ROR help. IMHO: If you don't know: how rule changes affect your EV how penetration affects your ROR the importance of game selection Money management and bankroll management and have the firm discipline to precisely follow your game plan you might be...

Thanks for that formula on BR, but I guess I'm more interested in the 5.5/6 4.0% changing to 8.8% at 5.0/6 - having the dealer move the cut card forward 26 cards more than DOUBLES my ROR?!

I purchased the AOII version of BJA3 ch10 and I am amazed at the effect of penetration on Risk of Ruin - eg: 1-12 spread H17DAS ----------400 unit bank -- 800 unit bank 5.0/6 ----29.6%---- -------8.8% 5.5/6 ----19.9%----...

I was considering posting this question and you beat me to the punch. Recently, while playing a deeply dealt 6D game with fast dealers and no heat, the dealer turned up naturals 7 times in 1 deck - cleared out the whole table except for me and 1 other. Sometimes the count went a little minus...

Better games = bigger losses? from May 1st, 2006, 01:22 AM : I have recently taken to travelling to much better games and have sustained my biggest losses yet - inuitively I want to return to those "worse games" where I have actually won $$ - so if I understand correctly - better games will...

Priceline I have had great success with the following: Find the lowest price you can for the star rating/location you desire - eg: LV strip - (on Orbitz) Then go to Priceline and submit a "name your own price " for about 25% less than the lowest Orbitz quote for your type hotel Show...

Switched from AOII to Zen and have been using this for indices: http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/Zen_Count_Indices.htm (I just got SBA and am looking at generating more index plays) Some of the plays here I do not understand: Snyder------- Per SBA 6D H17 DAS...

SBA Link Karel finally emailed me the link and I have downloaded SBA - Thanks! :)
