I think a lot of people earned Sagamore / Wolf in one day...

Oh man, those lobster corndogs at American Fish were awesome. :)

It appears that they just count all points already accumulated as eligible... Probably because it would be really messy trying to figure out how many points were bonus vs earned and then when they used them was that LIFO or FIFO etc...

Yup. Everything's the same for MGM@FW

Here's my flow chart to figure this out... Do you play games that have uncertain impact on your wealth? No -> 1, Yes -> 2 1. You are not a gambler. (You probably are a gambler but don't realize, eg: do you invest in the stock market? Take out insurance? Keep driving when dissatisfied with...

Yeah, I've had it spit bills back out also, it's probably just the crappy ATM not being able to handle it because it's a little dog eared or something. I think if the ATM thought you had given it a counterfeit bill it would not have given it back to you... Did you try feeding it in a 2nd time...

Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to diversify away from FW (and the occasionally MS). Hopefully the politicians don't screw it up...

Play until you have: [Annual Expenses] / 0.04 Then money becomes irrelevant because you're financially independent. This assumes you can make 4% net of fees, inflation, and taxes by investing (which I think is reasonable). [Annual Expenses] / 0.03 would allow you invest a bit safer and still...

I highly doubt that. Foxwoods does so many sub-optimal things that the only conclusion is that they hate money. The rule change will absolutely lose them money but I really don't think they're gonna do anything to compensate.

Oh yeah, I've tried that one. Never gotten that to work yet. I have had success surrendering some 3 card 16s and 17s before. Some of the dealers think you can do anything at any time in Sp21...

I was playing some Spanish 21 recently and saw THE most ridiculous dealer error I've ever seen - I almost don't think it can be beaten. I was playing two spots and got a 17 and a stiff against a dealer ace. I hit the stiff and bust. As she was taking the chips and cards away I said...

Boy, I hope that's true, maybe they'll run it again :p That event made me never want to play normal BJ / Sp21 again, the EV / hr is gonna seem so puny in comparison. The really great thing was being able to express-lane a table with other people who are not complaining, smoking...

So, quite early on they did nerf it (to some degree) by only allowing tripling on the first two cards but then inexplicably not long after they went around to all the tables saying it had been changed back to triple anytime!!! (ie after splitting in BJ and after splitting and on any # of cards...

You get the $200 back. Which is awesome in EV terms and especially in variance reduction. The non-resplitting of aces is bad but not that bad enough to make sp21 w/ tripling anything other than awesome. And wow, the dealers were terrible, I benefited hugely from so many mistakes.
