    Boards closing, discussion

    So you've decided to close it down for FREE rather than sell it for a considerable amount of money? :confused: What am I missing???

    backoff+ hotel room stunt...

    What I would do is take the room, but stay as far away from the casino area as possible. I would keep ALL documentation for this comped room. Then I would wait my usual 6 months before going back to play on a different shift. My saved documentation would be my "ace in the hole", just in case...

    backoff+ hotel room stunt...

    It's not all that uncommon for a casino to rescind a barring and invite the patron back (seldom for APs). I'm no attorney, and I could be wrong, but an offer of a free room sure sounds like an invitation to ME! False arrest lawsuit, maybe??

    The book

    When I was a little boy, and would get in an argument with my brothers; my mom would separate us for a time. Perhaps you could think of a way to implement something similar. These little petty spats DO get very distracting and sometimes are a real thread-killer. And they always seem to spring...

    A story about J.G.

    I'm not happy about the damage he's done to the game, but other than that I have nothing personal against him. Do we know for SURE that he's missing a tooth?

    The book

    :laugh: I didn't mean to imply that I actually BELIEVED it. But I must admit that for a minute the thought DID cross my mind, what with the pedantic and slightly abrasive writing style! :p

    A story about J.G.

    This guy is a legend in his own MIND! I like the part where he says he's the first person to DEVELOP the "incomplete hole card strategies". I wonder if he actually BELIEVES this. :confused: I personally wrote software and developed these strategies MYSELF back in 1993 - and the ONLY...

    I wouldn't feel so bad if I just lost...

    EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US goes through this, over and over. You have two choices - Get used to it, or quit playing BJ forever. I've been playing BJ for a living for 30 years, and I STILL haven't completely gotten used to it. :( BTW; it gets much worse than THIS - the only thing worse than...

    This question cannot be answered without knowing the penetration.

    The book

    Funny you should mention that. As I was reading the original post to this thread, I couldn't help but notice the similarity in the writing styles.

    Worst blackjack player EVER

    I've DONE it! :grin: There's a time and a place for almost ANYTHING. Hitting hard 20 at the proper time always results in a gain of about 15% or more in EV. :)

    Worst blackjack player EVER

    They wouldn't LET him split his blackjack, of course. So he surrendered.:)

    ~C T R in CA?

    Yes; but unlike in the US, where a copy goes straight to the IRS; it stays at the casino and is only available for inspection by governmental authorities upon request.
