Winning gives me BIG bragging rights.

Oh boys, and all cows holy... someone should start a "mental age" thread on this board.

The thought popping into my mind, i'm back in high school (in the seventies) when our big brothers were out there "playing chicken" in Trans Ams and Corvettes. What's next, Burger King "power chips"?

Why bet at all, if you can be sure? Anyway, what constitutes a "good bet"? - The best slots-game in town; a sucker's edge; or some gray-area blackjack-stunts? (P.S. God doesn't even have to exist to be God.)

Thanks!!! :-)

As mentioned, I wrote about it a blog entry.

I'd be happy to answer any questions here though. To answer one posted about my blog entry, no, I have no plans to do a WizardOfBlackjack site. I feel just about everything there is to so about blackjack has been said. Besides, if I start going down that road, I could see making special sites about lots of games. Actually, I have thought about a special site devoted to pai gow tiles, since I have a particular interest in that game, and there are no good free sites devoted to the game. If I could ever get the guy squatting on geejoon.com to sell it to me, I probably would. He has ignored all my inquires so far.

Pai Gow tiles is one of my favorite games. I learned it in Oakland's Chinatown, pretty much by osmosis, in an environment where I was usually the only foreign devil, and NO ONE was speaking English. I made a LOT of money banking (usually by myself; no one wanted to bank together with a gaijin), and everyone playing against me would be volubly discussing their hands (since most player spots and bets were shared by three or more people)--but I wouldn't let on that I understood quite a bit of what they were saying. So they were essentially turning their hands face up, and since I set my hand last, I had a huge advantage--and they never caught on to why I would set my hand the "wrong" way (I basically played against the hand with the biggest bet and ignored everyone else).

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When did you get back on here? How could I have missed that magic moment. Welcome back............to both of us. I will be the only one welcoming me back, which is exactly how I like it.

EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6398	So, has the Blackjack Ball happened already? Last year it was on Jan 3rd. Did the Wiz win? Will he win if it hasn't been held yet?
