Well, I never even made it through trigonometry, but even after having this explained, it still doesn't make sense to me. To me, it seems the odds are 50/50. Regardless of which door you choose, when the host takes away one of the "goat doors", you have one door with a car, and one door with a...

Funny. I was thinking they should offer MORE $5 tables. Last time I went to Vegas, I couldn't get a $5 table at the strip casino I was staying at, as there was only one. The table was full (with people waiting in line to play), but the $10 tables next to it had plenty of room. The $5 tables are...

:laugh: Absolutely!

I was at Whiskey Pete's in Primm last weekend (coming back from the air show at Nellis). I asked the dealer if it was a 3:2 game, or a 6:5 game. The dealer gave me that deer in the headlights look. So, I tried to be more specific... I asked if blackjack paid 3:2, or 6:5. The dealer still...

Out of curiosity, what kind of lifetime numbers must one have to earn him/her self a backoff or ban? What if somebody only plays a few times per year (3-4 weekends) but consistently wins a few hundred dollars? Would his/her lack of loss be enough that they would take notice?

Seems like that would be to your advantage then. 3:2 payout on a $2.50 Blackjack would be $3.75. If they give you $4.00, it would be even better. Or am I missing something?

I'd never have that much to bet. I am just curious how small of spread you could get away with while maintaining an advantage.

What about the (-.02) SD game at Barona (assuming it's still there)?

Perhaps, but wouldn't it be better to get on both mailing lists?

I guess I will play at both MGM Mirage and Harrah's properties when I go. Joining both Player's Clubs can only lead to more offers mailed home for future visits.

So, for a red-chip Blackjack player, Harrah's is better for comps than MGM Mirage? Also, how is Video Poker for comps? I recall reading that with VP, the house has only a small edge.

lol. I just may have to do that. :devil:

Thanks for the advice. Free room offers sure makes it easier to make the drive. If I were going alone, I would probably go downtown, to state-line, or perhaps an Indian Casino here in CA. However, it is my friend's first time to Vegas, so a group of us decided to take him to the strip. As I...

Ouch... That's harsh. I am only planning on bringing $300 to gamble. Betting green chips could really cut my trip short. :( Oh well. I'm not going to change my betting to get comps. I was hoping my red-chip play would eventually earn something over time (maybe not even this trip). I guess it...

Sorry about digging up this older post, but I had a question. If the online points are only based on your slot play, is it still recorded on your card how long you were playing BJ? Does table play accrue on multiple visits, or is it pretty much just what you did at a particular sitting? Some...
