First step of Advantage Play: Avoid Traps. The LA police make a living giving people from TX tickets. Given the number of TX people that go to LA casinos, the route from the casino back to TX is natural hunting grounds for them. By speeding (even 1 mile over the limit, if they are hungry) who...

Strangely quiet. Out of court settlement and non-disclosure agreement of terms? Or just dropped due to lack of interest and lack of legal funds? Or unable to penetrate the crooked system that is Las Vegas Justice? I am curious also.

Don't round, FLOOR. If the TC is -.25 (or -.0001 even), Floor it, and play it like -1. Likewise, a TC of +2.995 is +2, not +3.

A nice report on scenery and conditions, but you might want to re-think that "money management" thing. I think your results can best be attributed to "LUCK". What is the hourly return on $5 wonging? Might be interesting to see if an expert could survey any tracking, hole carding, dealer error...
