| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6383 | In the Ask the Wiz section, under specific games, I checked roulette, bac, craps, and BJ. In the FAQ sections all the ones I looked at had multiple errors, in that some of the questions had missing answers. A few answers had missing questions. I can only assume that all the games have similar issues.

| aluisio Member since: Sep 15, 2010 Threads: 10 Posts: 172 | Is it only at my screen or the main banner image seems way too low def? No bounce, no play. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 14, 2009 Threads: 312 Posts: 6753 | Thanks for all the comments thus far. Please keep them coming. Reorganizing the Ask the Wizard was one of the most time consuming parts of the new site. Each question in 278 columns had to be categorized and perhaps some mistakes were made in the process. Yes, I know the top banner looks too low def. I need to try to find the original file, which I believe was huge. If not, perhaps we'll frame it, and keep the original size. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

LOL. Never maintain as merely a "humble" opinion that which you are not prepared to defend; If that which you hold can be rigorously supported, don't be so "humble" as to call it "your" opinion, for indeed its reality transcends and holds YOU. |

| rdw4potus Member since: Mar 11, 2010 Threads: 57 Posts: 1974 | I like the look and feel of the new site. Like others, I clicked into the ATW section. I happened to notice that the answer to one question was wrong, and I know that the Wiz corrected it. What is the data source for those columns? Is there a newer version of the information that is available? I'd guess that an old version is being referenced.

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5699 | My guess is that JB copied the website during the interval between when that Ask The Wiz was posted and when it was corrected. Then he worked on the design for a couple months before letting us know about it. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| AZDuffman Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 153 Posts: 2909 | LIR is not working properly. It seems to work until you hit "Deal Now" then no cards, nothing. Have there really only been 4 ATW questions this year or are some missing? "The Roman Empire wasn't planned, but neither did it 'just happen.'" |

I don't think the recent ones have been added to the new site yet. Thank you all for your continued contributions. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5699 | Although I still think having additional anchor points would be nice, I realize that it would also create headaches. As far as the links to the "About The Wizard" on my website, I just discovered that there is a seperate page for Mike's bio, here: http://wizardofodds.com/general/shortbio.html. I am now linking to that page. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.

This is a stylistic point entirely. Under the Banner on the Home page, provIde the reader with an overview statement defining the purpose of the site. You have done this quite effectively at the WOV homepage. |
