    Everybody knows BS is a hoax. The casinos designed it to insure their long term success. Ask any ploppie.

    funny you should mention that

    Your body flushs most minerals on a daily basis, so very small amounts in water or food is not a problem. Some minerals are not flushed and build up over time. Ingesting tiny, trace, amounts of these over fifty or so years can lead to problems. I have no idea which group arsenic falls into, and...

    backoff+ hotel room stunt...

    What the law may say is meaningless. Do you think you could get a fair trial on this without spending many times whatever it is worth?

    Worst blackjack player EVER

    Playing the machines at the Trop two Super Bowls ago, tablemate accidently hit the double button instead of split with two tens . He got an Ace. Awhile later, he did the same thing with the same results. Now he was convinced that doubling two tens would bring an Ace everytime. About five minutes...

    Worst blackjack player EVER

    I saw a guy stay with cards totaling 16 exposed, plus his two face down cards. Dealer was paying 18 and flipped over the guys cards- an Ace and a ten. He had hit a BJ, then busted and decided he'd try and bluff the dealer. He said he thought a BJ was only black Ace and black jack. He thought...

    Resorts by Atlantis

    If you want to go fairly cheap, The Comfort Suites, located directly across the street from Atlantis, a great way to go. The rooms are mini-suites, with a small kitchenette and you get the exact ground privledges as almost all the Atlantis guest. You just don't have access to the one private...

    Question on comps

    There really is so much more than that. People need to think outside the box. As an example- there is a certain casino on the west side of town that gives me $50 in freeplay twice a month. To me, thats worth $250, maybe $300 a year as thats how often I am there to use it. But to a comp...

    Room Comps at Four Queens

    I don't know how many of you do this, but you should always take the bedspread off the beds as soon as you walk in the room. Sheets are changed on a daily basis, blankets are changed frequently, but bedspreads stay for months at a time unless the maid notices something wrong. Laying down...

    The book

    A few years back, I was in a Porsche showroom looking at their new SUV. I asked the salesman how the mileage was. He looked at me and said if you have to worry about this cars mileage, this may not be the car for you. I told him he was right, went across the street and bought the Mercedes SUV...

    Checks play, doubling hard...

    You need to feel out the dealer. At my candyshop, most dealers will call chexplay if you switch from red to green. You might go from four red to one green and you'll get it, while jumping four red to eight red won't.

    Massachusetts Casinos!!!

    The tolls are all in New York City itself.The only toll bridge in Nassau or Suffolk is a private bridge leading into Atlantic Beach. The chances of them building a casino in Atlantic Beach are very high, to say the least.

    Scoping out a casino

    I would not be too optimistic about the long term prospect of getting away with wonging in a single casino unless it is a monster with several different pits. Its also not ideal for new players as you may be making any number of errors in your count. I'd skip wonging until I was sure of my...

    Initial buy-in when you arrive at the casino to maximize comps???

    I can think of little that annoys a pitboss more than having to call for a chip refill because one or two players bought in for hundreds of dollars and is now betting $5-10 a hand. Good luck getting a comp from someone you piss off. One of my last times I played at Terribles, this guy buys in...

    Question on comps

    If I had some super secret method, rather than give it away, I'd publish a book, price it at $500 and then refuse to sell it to anyone. But I don't. Instead I simply combine the wisdom of Rubin, Jean Scott,Anthony Curtis andthe experiance of the Las Vegas Advisor boards and a few fellow comp...
