And by rascals at forums, I don't mean just this forum. One such rascal posted at the other forum about letters he wrote to the casinos complaining that as a stockholder he had a right to complain about MDawg's ruining their bottom line, and included a name that he thought was MDawg's.

2) What are the odds of getting a 21 Bank or Player run in a Baccarat shoe?
3) What are the odds of getting a 22 Bank or Player run in a Baccarat shoe?
4) What are the odds of getting one of the above and clearing 7 figures on the run (MDawg has now done this), with the net win for the session being 7 figures.
Additionally:
5) Mikki Mase did in fact win $8.5M or so on one Baccarat shoe, and walked with it all. He first won a few hundred thousand and then lost it all. Pulled a million and with a single $100K chip won 85 chips out of the dealer’s tray for the win.
6) Dana White turned to playing Baccarat after clearing some $23M in a single session. He has tipped females as much as a few hundred K just for cutting a good shoe where he’s won a few million.

I don't doubt it but he is a huge loser in Vegas casinos. His generosity is legendary and so are his losses.

It's just down the road from the Shwynn..

One thing I’ve been wondering about lately. If I cash out say 6000 in chips at one cage using my player card then later cash out say a few grand more without my player card at a different cage (high limit cages lately seem to have a tolerance of about 3000 before requesting a player card or ID), as a known player are they watching the cam and later attaching the full 9000 deposit to me or only the 6000. I assume only the 6000 but I don’t know for sure. Not that it really matters but curious.

Without a paper trail they can't prove it even with a video. At least so I would imagine. A lawyer would say in the video you can't really see what you're doing for sure.
Hundreds or thousands of videos online of actual play.
As for the cage cashing out chips, you'll have to ask someone, maybe yourself, what happens when you cash-out multiple times without your card being checked to over $10K.
I've got a feeling from a recent BJ counter video of the 20-somethings women from Canada that they went over the $10K limit of buy-ins at the table in a single Vegas casino and got trespassed. They already knew from a previous casino visit that day that the casinos don't allow them to buy-in for more than $10K even with a passport, so cashing-out over $10K isn't allowed either.
Dealing with casino checks instead of cash is another option.
Quote: ChumpChangeDark Oz might know if kiosks that cash-out $3K or less keep a record of your Player's Card from the TITOs redeemed and flag you when you hit the $10K limit in a day. Seems slots can do the same if your card is in the machine when you input a wad of hundreds time and time again.

I am aware of at least one property where you are tracked at redemption machines cashing out. But this property doesn't know who you are until you then visit a live cashier where for just a simple small cash transaction they ask for ID.
They don't flag players cards through the Tito's (otherwise I wouldn't have an operation. I would be caught cashing out other players cards Tito's.). A lot of players don't even use a card so that's probably why.
The same check for ID would occur if you cash out under $3000 multiple time once you have passed ten grand st the cashier
You will get CTR'd if you WIN more than ten grand but not if you lose more than ten grand so inserting ten grand+ isn't an issue. Just cashing out
I can't speak for all casinos. But the ones I can speak for have been quite consistent with the above.

How would you know if you got CTR'ed or not? Not like the casino hands you a piece of paper, notwithstanding A.Wolf's asking SiegfriedRoy to show me the money and CTR! to prove a win. Nothing like that happens, the player is not notified and does not receive anything. A CTR or SAR is something the bank or casino files secretly.
The law states that the casino needs to report over > $10K cash input or output in a 24 hour period. For someone playing rated at tables or slots (with a player card) why would the casino skirt the law for input but not output?
Perhaps DRich could comment on this again, as he has before, and stated that the casino does report does CTR all inputs/outputs of over >10K during a 24 hour period, when they are made aware of such. Obviously someone playing unrated unknown to the casino who manages to skirt their awareness of his inputting or outputting the cash is not going to get CTR'ed but why would the casino deliberately violate the law on a known player.

Just a clarification.
You do not get a CTR for winning no matter how much it is. You get a CTR for cash transactions that total over $10k in a 24 hour period.
Secondly, a CTR is supposed to be filed on you if you put over $10k in a machine but it is hard to track especially when not using a players card. I used to run daily reports and file CTR's for players that put in over $10k in slots using their players card.
But D.Oz's "people" obviously all play with player cards to get the benefits he claims, so why would the casino allow such a rated player to input 10K cash into a machine in one day, and not report it? And how would he even know if CTRs are being filed or not, I have had CTRs filed on me when I've pulled 50-100K cash at once for winnings, and nothing has come of it (sometimes when I do this it is because I decide to use the cash to pay a marker at another resort where I lost a session, and so the CTRs "wash" each other out, with one for output, one for input).
Quote: darkozso inserting ten grand+ isn't an issue. Just cashing out

Obviously, yes, the casino is supposed to file the CTR if it is aware of over > $10K cash in or out in a 24 hour period, and obviously also this does not always happen, but D.Oz is saying that they simply do not have to do this for the input end of $10K into slot machines - that is obviously wrong.

Something simple like that that he gets so wrong makes you wonder about what else he doesn't get.
At different times I have used the doeyt/don't or red/black or banker/player system
Two different players cards betting against each other until the requirements for the best calendar comes in
We're talking tens of thousands of dollars in coin in recorded on both players cards
At least once at three different casinos one side was winning lopsided and the other losing lopsided such that one card has lost more than ten gees and the other had won more than ten gees.
When the calendars for both cards came in they both had offers as expected. The card that lost over ten gees was absolutely NOT a problem.
The card that had won over ten gees was pin locked.
Upon bringing the player in to enquire what was wrong they were notified they had won over ten grand in a single day and had to supply their SSN for security reasons (I knew obviously they were being CTR'd duh).
Needless to say in each case they got afraid they would be taxed, refused to give their SSN and I lost my investment. The conversations were weird cause the players desk was talking about the wonderful comps hotel rooms they would get just by handing over the SSN but no deal
Ironically it probably made them look more suspicious but I couldn't explain the nuance to these people.
This has happened at least in three different locations and in two different states
So A) unlike people who talk about what they have learned off the field, I give my knowledge here based on actual real life in the field experience.
The way I described it works is exactly the way it works. Take it or leave.
Actually, I sent Mike proof with pictures including a recording with I believe names of an employee and management who both told me they are CTRing me and gave me a papperwork they said was for CTR is asked them multiple times IS THIS FOR a CTR. Yes yes, CTR, yes they said.Quote: MDawgQuote: darkozYou will get CTR'd if you WIN more than ten grand but not if you lose more than ten grand so inserting ten grand+ isn't an issue. Just cashing out

This was at the Pamls.
As for A.Wolf maybe they didn’t like his looks who knows why and decided to taunt him to his face about getting a CTR. Maybe they secretly filed a SAR on him too. Or maybe he asked about or mentioned something to the effect of whether or not he was getting reported and they confirmed it. If this happened more than two days ago I choose to question whether the Wolf’s recollection of it is accurate. If you have a full recording of the entire event not just the part where you asked the employees their names that might settle it but why would anyone record such an event from the getgo, probably only towards the end.
So are you now saying that you did in fact ask S.Roy seriously to show you a CTR or are you reverting to the story of you were not serious in asking him for a CTR.
Quote: MDawgAs far as D.Oz that APPEARS to be (hard to follow, jumbled) a dicto simpliciter a posteriori argument of “because I assume they must have recorded over > $10K in coin in and didn’t ask for SSN, they must be flouting the federal AML regs.” But the law and DRich’s inside account gainsay everything the D.Oz is claiming.

You really found my explanation difficult to follow?

All that probably happened is the casinos couldn’t keep track of sums imputed as easily as a winning payout especially payouts that mandated W-2Gs.

Well you are flat out wrong, bub.
Laughable that they couldn't keep track of losing sums on a players card but they could on a winning card. The same day. At machines seated right next to each other.
And that happened at 3 different casinos.
Contrary to what people (especially lawyers) think, experts are wrong from time to time. DRich is wrong. You are wrong. You can't convince me my own in person experience isn't as good as what some expert claims SHOULD happen.



and it's not just in-house but also advertising for the Raiders, sometimes Lexus, and other outside parties.

Imagine having to stay on that side of the hotel and deal with the irritating lights outside one's room? Luckily whenever we have stayed at RW Vegas, it has been at Crockford's. They actually do have some nice suites, which include 12' ceilings even in the bedrooms.
The only problem now was a gigantic neon sign outside the window, blocking our view of the mountains - millions of colored balls running around a very complicated track, strange symbols & filigree, giving off a loud hum.
“Look outside,” I said.
“Why?”
“There’s a big .. . machine in the sky, . . . some kind of electric snake . . . coming straight at us.”
“Shoot it,” said my attorney.
“Not yet,” I said. “I want to study its habits.”

They're good scriptwriters, but I am not overly familiar with their standup work.
Then again, I seriously doubt this is going to be them alternating doing standup. If they stick to the stuff similar to what's in their books, it sounds like a good show, especially if they can play off each other.

First off, I really doubt that I said every casino does it. So I don't think that I am wrong.
What I will say is that every U.S. casino is supposed to do it according to FINCEN. Having worked in casino gaming for over 25 years I can tell you that everyday I bet every casino does not follow all of the rules. I was not opposed to ignoring rules on occasion.

Well, MDawg was speaking for you so glad that's clarified.
I don't think you and I are in disagreement.
In Northtown near Bonanza and Maryland Parkway they had(have?) a few unofficial ID places. I believe it's mostly so immigrants can have some type of picture ID. They kinda look official and there are various different types. They used to cost between $50 and $100. You just filled out a form with what information you wanted on it. Many of the casinos would accept them for getting player's cards.Quote: darkozQuote: MDawgD.Oz is claiming that the casinos he “plays” at have a policy of not issuing CTRs for cash input of over > $10K in a 24 hour period, which is absurd.

He started off very early with videos of account win/loss statements showing 20k-ish wins from a few casinos, or something like that.
He has been posting pictures of chips, markers, cash, supposed real watches, rooms, Identifying clothing, stock accounts, Vegas events, etc. He has given us a supposed accounting of his play including tournament positions and drawing wins. He told us what places he likes to play. He mentioned private tables and invite-only tournaments. He seems to have a burning desire for people to believe he is a hugely consistent successful player/winner.
As of now, we have only one verified accounting for a short period of time of play with a 3k max bet or something like that where he was getting a few thousand free-roll to do so. If there's more, we certainly haven't heard about it. That's one person, one time for a small amount of money and time. The rest of his incredibly hard-to-swallow stories are all to be taken at his word.
I don't think some pictures or videos of big winning bets on the table would add any more personal risk to the situation. He could always share those with a few known individuals like Dan Druff, yourself, Mike, or whoever to verify.
I haven't ever been known to give too much public info, post pictures of cash, jackpots, table play, casinos, shows, limos, etc.
I have met hundreds of people from the forums and many more from the gambling community including high-profile well-known members, with some of who I have done business with, given good information to, hired, partnered with, hung out with, been to my house, in my cars, played with/next to, partied with, traveled with, vacationed with etc. You, yourself have met up with me and even sat with me at dinner with some of my partners and friends.
The money, jackpots, table play, sports betting, promotions, and information can be verified, along with the math behind the plays proving they are LEGITIMATE +EV situations.
FYI it hasn't been zero information, I have talked about a few plays and posted a few screenshots and accounting of various things.
The ones where it gets quite expensive are poker tournaments. Entry is free but if you rebuy all the way and do make it to the semis you’re looking at $10,000. Generally I find that many are willing to rebuy at the first level where the max is a couple grand not as many at the semis where it costs four times that.
If you rebuy and win something it’s great but if not you feel like a prize horse’s ass.

I have re-bought in poker tournaments but never casino tournaments. In poker tournaments there can be benefits beyond the prize pool.
Other than taking out the casino employee to get that envelope there is no incentive other than the prize pool.
In one tournament I made it to the semis and had 7,7 and didn’t have a lot of chips left compared to the chip leaders. I was near the bottom of chip count on that table, but not exactly down and out yet. The casino employee went all in and he had much less chips than I did. I called but so did two other players. The flop gave me nada and included a queen, two diamonds. One of my 7s was a diamond. Then one of the other players raised quite a bit would have required me to go close to all in and I folded retaining a decent stack of chips that I would have had to put in.
No one raised much after that because four diamonds landed and they were all afraid someone had a diamond.
In the end four diamonds landed and the player with the queen won. No one had any diamonds. I would have won with my 7 diamond. The mystery envelope that time had $5000 in it. Within a few hands I had lost all my chips and I was out, which probably would have happened anyway even if I had won that hand as I was short stacked but at least I would have had that envelope if I’d played recklessly.
In general in poker tournaments I make it to the semis consistently, by playing conservatively (other than calling bluffs - I am good at sniffing those out), but once you get to the semis it’s hard to advance without taking risks because so many players do.

Totally agree. Women comedians are all about relationship jokes, making fun of whatever neurosis they have currently, telling us how awful men are, lots of weight jokes, and the disgusting ones talk about their vag a lot. Somebody here mentioned Taylor Tomlinson, I can only take about 3 minutes of her. It seems like all she talks about is her slutty personal life, her 14 different kinds of neuroses, and making fun of her parents. Why some man would want to end up with her would be a mystery.

There's a whole thing going on now with young women on the internet complaining about how men are ignoring them. They aren't talking to them in bars, they aren't staring at them at fitness places, they don't want to pay for dinner anymore they want you to pay for your own. What did they think was going to happen if they kept complaining about men all the time like they've been doing for the last 10 years. Men finally wised up and are leaving them alone just like they said they wanted. We don't need men, we can do anything a man can do, blah blah blah. And women comedians reflect that and that's why they're not funny.

A lot of the bigger poker tournaments sponsors will recruit from the final tables so you can get free entries to other tournaments if you wear their logos. I have never made a final table of a big tournament. The best I have done was 14th place in a big buyin tournament.
