the Washington Post puts up its paywall after you read 2 articles

this paywall and every other newspaper paywall that I've tried can be beat by clearing your history and cookies - and then for the Post you get another 2 articles
the same is true of the New York Times after you read 5 articles

they don't track your IP address -

if there is a worry of losing your history you can just bookmark what you want to come back to

what I've seen is that incognito mode won't work - you still have to clear your history and cookies
if you try to browse without your cookies some sites won't let you in

Thanks for the warm and sincere welcome back.. much appreciated!

Now to the O/U.... Given the fact that I can't 'give it back' to certain people that insult me first, in addition to the fact that certain people don't want to hear about wins, in addition to certain people working in the industry don't want to hear me go against what the industry wants.... I would say the O/U is whatever you want it to be. This is a fun past time... I don't take things as personal as others do.

However, if you want to start ..... lets go! Bring it boyeee! You have some fun digs... however, my digs back are much more caustic and to the point. Now , are you still wearing those pantyhose you like wearing?

Regarding the Pantyhose thing.... I think you are mixing me up with DarkOZ. Nor have I ever been homeless, I don't ride the bus(I did for a while when I first started back in the early 90's for a month or 2)

It's obvious I know all your little buttons to push, but I think I will let you stick around for a while longer.

When are you coming to LV to show off your super duper stay hydrated craps system? You must be rolling in the dough by now. Do you do money pictures with cats rolling in the dough(see Varmenti posts to fully appreciate that joke)? I take it you quit your job by now? Oh let me guess, Money isn't everything, you love your job contributing to society, saving lives and all that jazz?

hmm... not sure about all those things you mentioned, but I was pretty sure you like wearing pantyhose. Ill keep it our secret. oops.

Regarding buttons to push.... don't give yourself too much credit. If you knew me, you would know that I laugh at all of your comments. I dont get rattled... ever! Only my girlfriend has that magical button!

Doing well. Very well. Just living my life and staying in my lane. Try to help others that want to listen.

First 5 paragraphs (fair use) WaPo


The blackjack player was blowing through his money but it wasn’t troubling him. He was anxious to empty his pockets.

Robert J. Cipriani had thrown out his usual game plan as he worked the neon-splashed rooms of the Star Casino in Sydney in August 2011. In the parlance of high-stakes gambling, Cipriani — a Philadelphia-born card player who dubbed himself “Robin Hood 702″ because he funneled portions of his winnings to philanthropic causes — was known as a “shortstop.”

It meant he cobbled winnings together with modest bets and refrained from make-it-or-break-it wagers. But in Australia he had decided to “leave it with the gambling gods,” as he would explain later, uncharacteristically dropping maximum bets of $20,000 on every hand he played at the casino’s VIP tables. He had a reason to want to lose. He didn’t want to be involved anymore.

Within a few days, Cipriani’s reckless run bottomed out: He purposely lost $2.5 million at the tables. There was one small problem: It was not his money, but the illegal proceeds of an international drug and gambling operation.

The man who fronted the cash — Owen “O-Dog” Hanson — was banking on Cipriani to launder the millions through the casino. And now the kingpin was not happy. The card player’s life was about get ugly.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

The Axel I know and love always appreciated entertainment and never bet on anything that wasn’t an advantage. Oh wait, never mind.

WMW adds excitement and character to the site. If only he promoted lottery numbers and threatened to end it all. Then he would be an an Internet darling.
