Blackjack Life in Pictures

With quick thinking I snapped this amazing shot tonight. The cheques are part of my ratholed winnings, which I keep here on my computer desk. Kind of says it all.

What really does this say? Maybe that you have some serious housekeeping issues? Let me help you out here, clean your house. Take a couple of those chips there and hire a maid for the day.

They're new dual-purpose chips for both casinos. Wow that pic must be years old, that's the real old style black chip.

I suppose keeping all those greens at home increases my RoR (Roaches on Ratholes) no?

Hey I already have a maid. But I live in a condo building, not too much I can do about the roaches except send an exterminator to all my neighbors.

I think the pic came out pretty cool- you can see the translucent body of the cockroach illuminated by the flash.

Damn cock-a-roaches.....

Did you notice the change at MGM- FW HL games this week?

Place I lived in N'awlins a few years back hired someone to spray from unit to unit. Really just chased the roaches from one place to another, but kept them at bay for a while.

Some cats will get 'em but it can be gross if they get those big fat ones.

Tip if you got roaches: always check your shoes before inserting foot. My wife let out a blood curdling scream finding one with her foot.
 
yeah, Louisiana there seems to be nothing you can do about roaches, my house was scrubbed when i first moved in and we had roaches from day one, its this area i think

from the early training days when i finally learned how to shuffle... no computers just decks of cards, gone through, over and over...

Sorry to reply to myself lol - just thought it was cool/ironic that a check drawn on the Federal Bank of the Mideast payable in dollars at a bank on the 14th floor of the World Trade Center 30 days after 911 when it no longer existed would still clear.
 
Hardware stores sell large boxes of Boric Acid, a cheap white odorless powder.

Roaches will NOT cross a line of it.

In N.Y.C., where roaches are rampant, people place a thin continuous line of it along the periphery of a room.

it works fairly well to keep the roaches out - until the powder is depleted. It is almost non-toxic. However, if you already have an infestation it will serve to keep them in. :eek:

Note: Cannot be used if you have cats or dogs, who will lick it off of their feet.
 
A tip, not ethical (or legal ?)

The following, I imagine, is illegal - is a bit like "check-kiting" - the process of writing a bad check and sequentially depositing money (via checks) from a series of bank accounts, in a timed fashion, in order to severely extend the time it takes for the reality of the check being worthless to emerge. In pre-computer times one could "float" a bad check for months on end with just a handful of bank accounts. Technology has changed all that; but there are still local "clearing houses" so ...

... IF I write a check and want to extend the time it takes to clear I run a powerful magnet several times over the data-encoded strip on the bottom of the check. This scrambles the data so that the check must be pulled from the queue and cleared manually.

You could also just print a check with non magnetic ink.

it would add a day, at best, to the check clearing.
 
real snapshot of blackjack life

i almost just posted a picture of my results for the 3rd quarter of my fiscal year 2008 but decided against doing so publicly.

needless to say, it is ugly. but it would have made a damn nice addition to this thread.

i'll just say that if you cant handle the swings (euphemism for nausea-inducing roller coaster?), this "life" isnt for you :whip::devil:

Aw. C'mon. We don't need no stinkin $profit loss statement anyway.

There's alot of pain far out that curve :grin:

Care to equate the pain with how far out :grin:

Do you try to figure your results globally - like taking into account all the diff games and spreads you may have used over time?

Next quarter will be better :)
