I recently bought an iPhone and picked up this app, more for novelty than anything else. In my estimation, the app is pretty good for what it offers; it's decently polished, and more importantly, it will help you get better at counting. Its shortcoming is the lack of practice options: other...

I had the misfortune of staying overnight in a motel about a mile from Harrah's Chester. I couldn't step outside for a cigarette without being accosted by bums looking for handouts. They literally hang around the motel entrance waiting for guests. But I guess it's not so bad - they'll offer...

I am considering launching a campaign to encourage qualified candidates with prosopagnosia (face blindness) to apply for pit positions, on the basis of fighting job discrimination.

Nevertheless, I like the suggestion for the sheer ballsiness of it. There's something to be said for audacity in this line of work - at least, to those of us who have an appreciation for the aesthetic side of our endeavor in addition to the practical.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ;)

Actually, it's not a bad idea to go on a trip or two while you're still learning: just flat bet the minimum while trying to keep the count, doing true count conversions (if applicable to your system), making appropriate index plays, determining what you would have bet if you were really...

Good catch. Not like that photo's been posed for the camera or anything :laugh:. On second glance, it's like one of those "spot what's wrong with this picture" games. Either that, or someone needs to seriously address their protocols for resolving player blackjacks.

MGM has not been re-felted yet, as of yesterday.

Wow, that's dedication. Just make sure the bus driver doesn't look like he's finishing an 18 hour shift, running on red bull and methamphetamine.

I would think it would be more of a factor in double and single deck than shoe. If it's a close play and you are fairly certain that not splitting will give you an extra round, it seems likely that not splitting is correct - but I'm not sure if there's a way to easily quantify it into an index...

I have no experience with sports betting, so this is just speculation - but perhaps it's similar to counting in BJ: when the counter increases his bet or wongs in to a table, everyone at the table has an advantage (disregarding poor playing decisions), not just the counter. Despite that, the...

If saying "female only" is wrong, I don't want to be right. :devil:

Wow, this was unexpected - to me at least. Are the games still generally preferable to Mohegan's due to pen considerations?

...and failure to specify desired gender may mean that he's not too picky! :eek:

Lack of reply may mean that it falls under the "etc." :eek:
