Apparently Norm does. Or did. :laugh: I think it's a more common event that you think, and was probably even a bigger commonplace back then. I love reading the stories in Norm's book and other books that I have read about old vegas in the 70's. Being born in the 80's, I missed all that and am just fasinated by it. Sounds like such a hoot.

In the summer of 2008, I jumped in my car and drove to a family reunion, then stopped in Vegas to meet friends on my way back. I began to understand why people sell their home and buy an RV - the sense of freedom is a rush. The only timeline is the one you set for yourself - no planes to catch, no job to go to, nobody to report to. I imagine it's a lot easier with wireless internet, a car with GPS and cell phones - I made my reservation for Vegas through Priceline the night before I got there and snagged a concierge-level room at Planet Hollywood for $55.

Probably the #1 netiquette faux pas made by board newcomers is to ask for advice - then tell everyone else how wrong they are.

Some people come here looking for answers, and almost always get them.
Other people come here looking for confirmation of how wonderful they are, and almost never get it.

Ok, jason, I have read the on line book that was sugguested Modern blackjack, which was very good and informative. I also took your advice and ordered blackjack attack which I have nor received yet.

I withdrew another thousand dollars to increase my bankroll to $2000. I know it says I should have more but I want to start out small and grow the bankroll. I am increasing my bet amount spread to $5 , if I can find a table or $10 up to $40. I also don't play the bad times when the number is negative So far I have made 3 trips to atlantic city and won two and lost one. The loss was bigger than the wins which kind of sucks but I am still ahead $45.

can you tell me which casino's in atlantic city have $5 tables?

You have made good choices in both Qfit's Modern Blackjack and Blackjack Attack 3. You will learn a great deal from both.

I hope you don't think that when I said $1000 was not enough BR to play $10 units that I was advising you to withdrawl additional funds to add to your bankroll. Not knowing what your situation, financial and other, I certainly would never do so. However if you are able to do so, and the possibility of losing those funds isn't a problem, then yes, 200 units is better than 100, although still have a reasonably high chance of tapping out.

I know Borgata has a $5 table at most times. Showboat used to have one as well, not sure if they still do. Taj Mahal has $5 tables on weekday mornings until 11am or noon. Maybe some of the others that are more familiar with $5 tables can direct you better.
