Wizard on TV last night

All these posts and no one even mentions the name of this program? wth? Must really not be worth watching, but I'm marginally interested if anyone can name it.

"Top 10 Ways to Win in Vegas" and it runs again this Saturday at 3PM Eastern.

You can Thank me later for the plug, Wizard!

When Jack Nicholson was starting out, he'd take any role that would pay him money. Check him out in the original 1960 version of "Little Shop of Horrors" for a movie that's so bad it's good. I never hear Jack complaining about his early roles.

My thoughts exactly. While I was watching it I couldn't help but wonder why you agreed to be a part of such a poorly produced program. I came to the conclusion that you must not have known what you were getting yourself into.

That happens a lot with so-called "documentary" shows. They use out-of-context quotes, and any truly expert comments, like those from the Wizard, that have integrity that can't be misrepped by editing just get left out all together, which is what the postponement amounted to, like that do-not-attempt fine print you see on car commercials; they have certain disclaimer responsibility, but they really want you to buy the hype. It's angering when you consider how many true-believers actually take it all in. Don't feel too bad, Wiz. It's the magic of post-production.

Postponement? Is that in response to this comment?

I haven't thought about that crappy show for many years.

Unless I'm completely mistaken, this is the same show that had been on the Travel Channel a year or so ago. In fact, it was one of several Vegas episodes, in the same series. Travel Channel was showing them so often, that I started to call it the Vegas Chanel.

It's fun to watch, when there's nothing else on, but that's about it.

For those who missed it and want to DVD it, it will run again Tuesday night at 10PM on Planet Green. Other than the Wizard, another thing to watch for is an appearance by Richard (Rick) Harrison from Pawn Stars when he had a full head of hair.

Add the card counting lessons as one of the top 10 ways to win, and there is no better way to spend a Tuesday night!

Geez, I'm watching the Vegas show on Green Planet and there in
front of me is the Wiz! I forgot he was on How To Win in Vegas.
He had on beige slacks, a beige shirt and a beige tie. With his
beige complexion, I could barely see him. Bod Dancer put in an
appearance too. One of the least interesting shows ever made
on Vegas, even with the Wiz.

What a show, I'm sure that blackjack dealer was impressed with Anthony Curtis tipping $5 in tournament chips. I also like the suggestion of bringing your superstitions to help you win. I will try that next time I play roulette (which will be never).

I enjoyed the coupon queen. Wonder what happens when they don't
get a BJ on the first hand and all the other play and pray coupons
go bust. We didn't see any of that, only happy times. Just like real
life.
