Quote: ArtemisQuote: AC Craps Shooter "Sal" @ Caesars
Taj's craps tables are tallest/highest among AC casinos...approx 30 inches higher...because of sharp-shooters Frank and Dominic who consistently beat Taj circa 2009.
Quote: ArtemisCan you guys confirm Sal's above statements? Why did taj go thru all that trouble to rebuild all its craps tables higher when Taj could just ban Frank and Dominic with a $200 max & min restriction?
"30 inches higher"!!!!!!
That would make them 60 inches tall.
1) All Small: 2~6
34 to 1 payout
2) Make 'Em All: 2~12 except 7
175 to 1 payout
3) All Tall: 8~12
34 to 1 payout
What are the house edges on the above?

1) All Small: 2~6
34 to 1 payout
2) Make 'Em All: 2~12 except 7

3) All Tall: 8~12

How hard is it, really?
The side bets are really bad for players, i.e., Bally's has 20.70% house edge over a player on the fire bet, 7.76% on the small or tall bet, 7.46% on the make 'them all bet.
Quote: beachbumbabsLol....and, look! The #1 answer comes up as, guess who? Wizard of Odds. lol...
Yeah, I was going to mention that but couldn't think of a cheeky way to phrase it.
I think that asking what the house edge is on a game or side bet without searching the WIZARD'S OWN SITE FIRST should be a ban-able offense. Just one day though. Slap on the wrist.
Good thing I'm not a mod.
Round#1
He bet a black chip and got a Yo-Eleven.
Round#2
He bet 2 blackchips and got a soft 4. He laid his odd in the amount of $1,000, but he made the point and lost his bet.
Round#3
He bet a stack of blackchips and rolled a hard 8, then he made the point.
Round#4
He bet a few black chips and rolled a hard 6, then he made the point a few rolls later.
@Round#5, I walked away to make a phone call to another AP "Rank". I asked him to come over to witness this jinx in action. When I got back to the craps table, the jinx was gone. The stickman said that "JD" made all 4 points without a 7-out and quit,
So guys, make sure that you roll those dice all the way to hit the gator wall. Don't give the manager any excuse to ban you from shooting those dice.
Quote: ArtemisRecently an AC casino pit manager stopped an AP ("Suntanned") from shooting the dice after that AP had made 9 points. The manager said that "Suntanned" was not allowed to shoot the dice because his dice consistently failed to hit the gator wall.
So guys, make sure that you roll those dice all the way to hit the gator wall. Don't give the manager any excuse to ban you from shooting those dice.
If he was consistently not hitting the back wall, I would call him a shot-taker or cheater. Not an AP.

1) Bally's WWW Boardwalk Bar has been undergoing a soft open since last week.
2). Bally's is keeping the Mountain Bar open. That's good news for guys who want to pick up pardners for the night.

So where is Guy's going to be? The old Virginia City Buffet is still there, but out of the way.
Maybe more importantly, are we picking up guy pardners, or girl pardners, or is there plenty to go 'round for everyone? Inquiring minds, and all that ;-)Quote: BozSo where is Guy's going to be? The old Virginia City Buffet is still there, but out of the way.
Quote: ArtemisPartners can be both ways. For example, "Jaime" introduced herself as a bi-sexual playmate while I was talking to a Bible-Belt-girl, who yelled at Jaime: " DON'T F**K WITH ME, GOT LOST!"
So things got tense, huh?
She walked up to me and asked me how to play craps. I showed her how to bet on the pass line. She rolled all 6 points plus 2 more points. She got a blackchip tip from a guy who won $5,000 on the fire bet.
I guess it's better to be lucky than good in a craps-shoot.

How have they done it? An answer can be seen on his forehead in this photo:
This guy walks around Trop with his head-cam on, and no security guys ever ask him to take off the cam. Hey, he makes a very good undercover cam-man to video-tape Ross Miller's real life in AC casinos.

I saw this guy last week at the Trop craps table.
It appeared that he was wearing one of those on-the-head flashlights over his wool hat. I guess it was the camera.
It did look very strange.
1) The above-mentioned gambler walks around in casinos with his head-cam.
2) A Mekhi-Phifer-look-alike "Roy" picked up a $500 chip from the floor and returned it to the highroller at the table. Roy refused to accept a $25 tip from the highroller.
3) A superstitious gambler throws away a blackchip over his shoulder for luck whenever he loses big. The last lucky guy to catch that blackchip in the midair was an alert Latino guy.
Carl officially owns Taj...

Bally's is currently building the BBQ-Ribs take-out right here...
Now look at the pictures. Can you visualize where the take-out will be?
I'm looking forward to eat the finger-lickin-good-BBQ-ribs while sizing up some good shooters here at this craps table.

Perhaps Zpenzer learns some new ideas and techniques from Colin Jones thru this video:

Wow, the baccarat win% (i.e., 12.9%) is less than that of blackjack win% (i.e., 13.8%). I expect that "beatable" blackjack-win% be much lower than 13.8%. What's going on? Have the card-counters (i.e., MasterHoudini, Ross Miller, etc...) abandoned AC due to the casino extreme countermeasures?
In that table for blackjack I see three obvious outliers with significantly higher house win percentages than the rest, pulling up the average. And they happen to be in the same company: Caesars.Quote: ArtemisHey, where is Mr. 7star4now? Here is the newest annual win% reports for his perusal.

1) The temperature shoots up into the 80ish in my backyard, and a squirrel climbs up & down the wall like a ninja.
2) The snow usually piles up high on this bench during Winter, but not today.
3) The snow also usually piles up high on this basketball court, but not today. Kids shoot basketball happily as if today were 4th of July. Hey, if Dr. King were alive today, he would gladly see that a part of his "dream" come true. Those boys get along just fine.

Just shows how poorly most people play at BJ with little concern for even Basic Strategy. Easier to play hunches and pushing their bet when they are "due to win".
Saint Paul's Chapel @ 9/11, 15 years of ago, on the day of WTC bombing.
It's a miracle that Chapel remains intact while the Twin Towers collapses right across the street on 9/11. Only the Almighty knows why. Perhaps He has a special purpose to save the Chapel.
Today the Chapel looks like this:
And the Freedom Tower looks like:
This Tower replaces the collapsed-Twin Towers.
Here are photos of saddening mournful commemoration and things inside the Chapel:
A visitor also got all choked up with tears.
Even NOW, after 15 years since 9/11, National Guardsmen still have patrolled subways & pathways of the new World Trade Center (Freedom Tower).
I guess that guardsmen have strapped on the big guns, Glocks 41 .45 ACP pistols, right?

Quote: DrawingDeadIn that table for blackjack I see three obvious outliers with significantly higher house win percentages than the rest, pulling up the average. And they happen to be in the same company: Caesars.
Quote: IbeatyouracesMost blackjack players play at a HE higher than baccarat due to poor playing strategy.
Here is another reason why the baccarat's win% have dropped lower than that of the beatable blackjack:
Baccarat-APs (i.e., Steve "Rɒm" Waugh of BJ21), have profitably milked the game. "Rɒm" said that he and his pardners had jumped the bet from $100 to $15,000 a hand during this interview:
http://www.slot-machine-resource.com/podcasts/swaugh.mp3
After listening to Rɒm's interview, I decide to look around for a Rɒm-look-alike in baccarat pits. I run into & make friend with an Indian Guy named "Mahyk". He seems to be quite good at Baccarat. Later I learn that he's so good that he has been banned by a pit manager. Hey, during the interview, Rɒm said that he's banned too because he "dangerously" dunked a bottle with force into a garbage can.

I don't think you can draw any conclusion on how people are playing based on that chart. Without knowing how many hands they played and how much they bet those numbers don't infer bad play.

There were gangs of youth hanging around the lobby and elevator area, empty tables and machines.
I've been going to the Taj for years, it was my home casino and everyone felt like family...not anymore. This was my last trip staying at the Taj.
I'm pretty sensitive to lighting changes since my dad had glaucoma. Lighting levels were always being adjusted as I grew up. And I suppose my experience in the film industry probably made me more sensitive to light levels.
In terms of light to dark IMO in AC:
Tropicana (brightest)
Borgata
Bally's
Taj Mahal
Caesars
Harrah's
Resorts
Golden Nugget
I went from the casino to the deck last summer and thought I was going to be blinded by the sunshine.
The lake Charles property is somewhat brighter but Biloxi is dark and Laughlin is in the darker side , must be what they are looking for

Some more AC card counters will be suing the AC Casino#8 for their rights to play bj too. Casino#8 indirectly has banned some card counters thru some loopholes: "Appropriate Grounds for Eviction of a Guest by an Innkeeper." NJ DGE agents can't help out the victimized card counters, so the APs will have to sue Casino#8 to overturn the eviction-orders.

Don't know about the specific legalese but all the background info and logic to the complaint is solid. I don't really have faith in the courts in this situation, but I have a great deal of respect for the plaintiff for sticking up for himself and fellow players.

The casino can use CSM if they chose. They chose not to and instead want to bar AP. Players are required to play by rules set by the gaming commission.
If using your brain is illegal, then they should work for the casino.
