| bigfoot66 Member since: Feb 5, 2010 Threads: 10 Posts: 257 | For those who have not seen, Bob Dancer announced this morning that our very own Wizard will be the the new Co-Host on the weekly radio show Gambling with an Edge. I think I can safely say that as Mr. Munchkin was a great improvement over Frank Kneeland, so too will the Wizard be a great improvement over Mr. Munchkin. I look forward to hearing you on the show and congrats Dancer Article P.S. Here's Hoping Dr. Paul wins the Hawkeye Cauci tonight. Ron Paul 2012! |

He'll turn everybody in the audience into licence plate pickers, finding him the good deals on rare plates. Hey, thats not a bad idea, come to think of it... "I'm sure Mike will add his own stamp on the show and the program will evolve over time. Like Richard, Michael has given me his word that he'll stay with the show at least six months. So maybe he should be called a semi-permanent co-host." I listen every week, and have listened to the archive. The show is guest driven, bad guest equals a boring show. Try and find the best guests you can, obviously. Prep time for any successful radio show is the key. Rush Limbaugh, the King of Radio, talks about that all the time. He works constantly when he's not on the air, reading and making notes for the show. Even a small show needs lots of prep time. I'd like to see more Vegas oriented guests, combined with the gambling guests. Talk about restaurants, the best casinos to play in, find a guest who can talk about the Mob in old Vegas, or what happens when you get banned now. Talk about cheats, and AP's, and porn slappers. Keep it interesting and people will listen. Frankly, some of the archived shows are so boring, I gave up on them..

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5714 | Fantastic. Not being a video poker enthusiast, I generally ignore Bob Dancer's column. So thanks for the info. But on that subject, ahem, somebody needs to learn how to toot his own horn once in a while! Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 14, 2009 Threads: 313 Posts: 6776 | Sorry I didn't tell you guys first. Bob asked to break the news first yesterday, and then I was free too. However, I was rather busy yesterday and didn't bring it up. Indeed, I plan to bring more diversity in guests and topics to the show. For example, interviewing some average people in common occupations in Vegas, like dealers, cocktail waitresses, strippers, hosts, etc.. If anyone here thinks they would make a worthy guest, PM me. Let me say now that I'm not interested in talking about betting systems or predicting the number number in roulette. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

How many listeners does the show have? Dancer would know, they need the info to know how much to charge for ads. I'm assuming 95% of the listeners live in Vegas, with maybe some, like me, who listen on the net. This means all your guests have to be Vegas oriented. People love off the wall stories about what happens in Vegas. Richard Marcus would make a great guest, as would that Griffin investigator who was always after him. He's starting a new company, I read. Older retired pit bosses have great stories. Casino hosts have great stories. Find an educated but homeless guy, who lives on the street there. I would think a wedding chapel owner would be interesting. I'll be wracking my tiny brain over this, I listen every week and don't want the show to fail.

Would the show be available on a podcast? I wouldn't mind having a listen but with time zone differences (and child-minding duties) I probably wouldn't get a chance to catch it live. |

They archive the show here, just click. MP3 I think it is [I didnt have to download anything, my computer was ready to play it] Podcasts, I dunno.
