How many secrets do you have in the gambling world? How many plays have you had where you had an advantage? How many plays have you put down where you held the theoretical advantage? I've been in that spot so many tines I can't count. What the hell do you think happened to my opponents?

Known advantage plays have a limited number of days. An AP with no secret plays, will have a limited number of days.

There are many many things I will not talk about publicly, current plays and even long gone plays of the past(tempting, but I know better and hold back). I often see repeats, so why disclose every casino mistakes publicly? I get the fact that people like to talk about things, share their stories good fortunes and, nothing wrong with that. I just try to pick carefully and hope other do the same.

One must choose, "hey look at me, hey look at me" or the money. Sure there are a few guys who sell books and get some notoriety (even sell out) but that's few and far between.

You are a man after my own heart, Axel. There are a ton of things I would like to tell the public. Maybe on my death bed. If I die of a heart attack they are S--- out of luck. I would be cutting my own throat if I told everyone all the plays I know. So it will have to wait until my death bed. It's a shame that that is the way things are. A man of many secrets.

Axel, I intend to leave a legacy. Call it old man shit, but I intend to leave a story to the younger generations. To tell them how grandpa did it in his time. They could possibly improve on it. I hope they do. But they are damn sure gonna learn how grandpa did it.

Yeah, mickey, hoping for that book someday. If you mixed in the stories with the plays, it would be a bestseller.

I've done a keno play. That's all I'm going to say. Well that and it is one of the most boring advantage plays ever, even above slot progressives.

The key is to try to fall asleep on the, "Spin," button, but safely away from the, "Max Bet," button. Aside from that, you can pull out the cell phone and read articles because you only need one hand for the scrolling. In all seriousness, though, I wonder how strenuously the casino would object to one taping down the button...

What happens when you want to drink from it?

You're obviously an AP. Your posts remind us of that
regularly.

You wouldn't release your secrets to your inner circle
of friends or at the very least your family? That would
seem ever bit as rewarding as raking cash out of the
casinos.

The majority of the Keno Progressives I hit when I find them are on Spielo machines, and they're slightly slanted where the buttons are, so the drink would slip off.

I can't count how many times I've heard someone tell me something gambling related that I already was aware of like they were handing me the keys to Fort Knox. There have only been a handful of times that someone has told me something and I have sat there and said "Wow." Of those times, nearly all were not charity. I really like hearing about things that no longer exist though, because the same principles apply to things in the future. It's more about learning to think, then going to various places and applying your knowledge there. The guys who are making a decent living probably know a lot of little tricks and a couple good ones. The guys who are making the huge money almost always know one or two tricks really, really well, or lucked into something incredible.

People really overvalue their knowledge, and undervalue hard work and discipline. Give me a honest, green guy with good casino comportment and work ethic over a seasoned pro with a few big leaks any day.
