The Adventures of MDawg II

Quote: MDawgDay 51 play.
Baccarat.
Multiple sessions across a few casinos. Was ahead +10K then dumped to the point of -60K including with a 20K natural 8 under 9 loss. Not edifying.
At another casino won back +38K.
Went to another casino and dumped (promptly) -60K in about six hands. Ouch.
Returned to second casino and kept winning and winning to the tune of winning another almost seventy-five K on top of the 38K from the prior session.
End result was still a loss but I consider it a pretty nice Victory considering that I was down almost a hundred K at the low point.
-7500 (not including the concessions received at the two losing casinos).
Note: Lately, for security reasons, session reports are not necessarily presented in real time corresponding directly to the day played.
I'm willing to present a side Challenge. If anyone doubts that any one, just any one of the Session reports I present during this trip is not entirely accurate, throw down a red flag! Put up a mere ten grand in cash, let's work out how to verify the Session to your satisfaction using the Wizard as the judge, and winner takes the twenty thousand.
I'll contribute five hundred from my end for the Wizard's time if the Challenger will do the same, so that's $19,000. to the winner of this side Challenge.
This Side Challenge remains good for the duration of this particular Vegas trip.

To me your post is too incomplete. I would include whatever ‘concessions’ you got in the win or loss aspect of the analysis. Not saying you are an AP, but there are APs that will EXPECT to lose that $7.5k if they KNOW that they will get a concession of $10k.
Yesterday I ‘lost’ more bets than I won, but since a bunch of them were ‘free bets’ the dollar value of my accounts increased by around $150. It’s all part of the game.

As I explained before:
However any AP worth his salt looking at the play at these two sessions (Day 16 and especially Day 51) would understand why someone might stop playing before getting to dead even and might be able to guess what the concession amounts might be.
Quote: MDawgThe percentages I negotiated are very good, especially considering that my session losses haven't been very high in the scheme of Las Vegas play (but my credit lines, ARE very high, which gives me negotiating firepower). If I were to report the exact percentages, someone who is an actual player (are there any on this website?) might press his host to match such a deal and then there might be blowback as in "No one is getting that deal including you, from now on!" So, when I leave certain details vague, including where I am playing and where or when exactly things happened, it is deliberate.

Took a victory stroll on the Strip. Rock n Roll Marathon!
Most of these people more walked than ran, and many seemed quite out of shape. I suppose these were the laggards who arrived towards the end.

Constantly running into people who want to play at my private table. I tell them, well, I'm not even playing Baccarat exclusively lately so there's no way for you to mirror my bets anyway.
And in any case, my luck is good and I am determined to avoid contamination. Sometimes, contact with the lucky may change a man's run of bad luck, but generally it works out the other way. Gamblers may be an envious lot. Gamblers especially online reclining chair n'er do wells who don't even play much if at all envied MDawg his scores. But everyone had to admit MDawg was a right guy, and always good for a small touch.

I am going to guess that most of your play is at "private" tables with "house" maximum wagers waived. What are the protocols prior to your play? What "arrangements," notice, table accommodations or special access do you require and/or the house require? Since the table is "private," do you normally or usually play alone? If so, what "fun" is that?

I have always preferred to play alone.
The only requirement to get a private table is a high credit line or large amount of front money deposited. Interestingly, there are usually no table minimums (other than say, $100.) when you get a private reserved table but the maximums depend on how high your credit line / front money is.
Yes, there is some notice required if you want the table reserved for you and ready but otherwise, just show up and they will accommodate you if there is any vacant table, UNLESS you want to play in the back COMPLETELY away from people which I often do want that, in which case again you must arrange in advance.
Sometimes I'll show up at a casino where I was not planning to play, and don't want to wait, in which case I will play at a public table that is empty.

Great question.
It always disturbed me that in certain venues / locations, people for some reason would play $5 blackjack on a machine, over playing $5 blackjack with a human dealer.
Similar for airball roulette vs dealer roulette.

Playing machines eliminates the need to tip so your average civilian will save a couple of dollars an hour avoiding live dealers.
It's also less intimidating as you aren't disturbing the sacred flow of the cards.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

As a Pai Gow poker/Pai Gow Tiles player I am happy playing alone or with other players. I enjoy banking every other hand while playing alone, but also enjoy the camaraderie (and occasional additional usable information!) when playing with others. I rarely go alone to my local casino. I’m going today and will pick up some EV from slots/UX then go play -EV Pai Gow with my friend.

Inside the casino resort, I socialize with and meet lots of people. But at the tables, other than chopping it up with the dealers and pit bosses, I am just there to win, and don't want other people at my table.

I found this online auction. Its warehouse is over in NorthWest Vegas where you pick up the winning goods, but all bids must be placed online. Lots of decent vintage furniture and other bulky items, but also jewelry, bullion, collectibles and artwork. I concentrated on the jewelry, bullion, a few collectibles and artwork and watched a number of those items on the day of the auction (prior to that you may pre-bid), you also may go to the warehouse to view the items in person at any time.
On the bullion these were bid up to above melt value by the day of auction. The prices were lower than what is available online, but I passed on those. I did bid on some artwork, but was outbid, and as the ones I was considering weren't any kind of original one-off pieces (I own original painted pieces by some top artists, versus the signed numbered limited editions that were being sold at this auction), so I figured I didn't even have room to hang them. There were baseball cards but I didn't know enough about these to research them (I own some very valuable cards but only because I got them three decades ago when they were three decades old and kept them, not because I am a serious collector).
And then the collectibles, decided to leave those alone too.
The jewelry though, I know a lot about diamond values and it's easy to calculate melt precious metal value, so I put in relatively lowball bids on 9 women's rings. All of the pieces came with appraisals and gemology certs. Well, I ended up winning several. So anyway my wife is happy, but I didn't expect to win so many, was just trying to win maybe one! I actually already re-listed all of them for sale online, so I will end up making a few bucks when they sell, but my wife also declared that two of them are not for sale 😀 but I have even those two listed anyway 😉 just to see what happens.
Anyway if you are looking for consumer goods these online auctions are there, in many different cities. You just have to know what you are buying and be careful. They generally appear as "estate liquidation sales" and such.

Day 56 play.
Baccarat.
I played at a public table. That turned out to be a mistake as I eventually dumped almost fifty K. This blonde southern belle sat next to me it was strange - she was there with her husband but he sat away from her. She was flirting with me and was a little distracting. She kept touching me and so - I reciprocated in a somewhat innocent sort of manner and anyway her husband didn’t seem to even care.
After losing I had my private table set up and powered ahead about what I lost to make it a slightly ahead day.

On these electronic roulette wheels that list the HOT and COLD numbers - during this trip I looked at the board of one while waiting for a take out food order to fill. I noticed the HOT numbers and just during the fifteen minutes I was watching one of them came up - twice. That might be enough to turn most anyone into a Believer....

Cocktail waitresses - do they really like me or are they just bucking for good tips when they smile intimately and call me honey and all that. I know in the past before I was married I dated more than a few Las Vegas cocktail waitresses, but what about today? Are they trying to get my number or just trying to get a bigger tip, or maybe, a combination of both?
Not that I am interested, beyond merely the short term fantasy of playing hide and go seek with a mini skirt. In between the real action which is strictly business and involves high denomination chips.

I think it's a Vegas thing. I get called "honey" all the time in and out of casinos.... by supermarket checkers, pharmacy cashiers, and yes just about every cocktail waitress and restaurant waitresses too.
I find it strange but it happens so many times in so many different establishments that I think it's part of the business culture.
I've lived here only about 4 years. Any long time residents care to comment?

99% are doing it because of bigger tips. 1% are man hunting. There may be some overlap of course.

I've been called "honey," "babe," and "sweetie" by women for decades. Women in the service industry, coworkers, nurses at hospitals, on the phone with customer service, etc., etc., etc.... There's no ulterior motive; it's just the way some people talk.

I assumed it was just because I look quite young, but if Alan is saying they say it to him too, then it may just be something they say....
I've had female dealers say it too when I place extremely large bets out there, "Honey, win this one." In those cases I know it has nothing to do with flirting just genuine hope that the big bet is won.

I like to change behavior. Having said that, female dealers, servers, etc. who address me as shown above plus "baby," my reply to them is "It is MR. Baby, or MR. Honey. or MR. Sweetie. You don't know me well enough to call me by my first name." Of course, it does not stop them, but after about the third time they almost always refer to me as "MR. Baby." The others at the table usually provide an admiring chuckle. You should try it. It is lots of fun, and it works.

Some of them are better at it than others. I mean, with the implied flirting. Some you may pretty much tell instantly are just bucking for tips, others...not so sure. The way it worked in the past, when I was single, is after I'd dealt with a given cocktail waitress for a while, I'd just ask for her number, but not right at the tables in front of the dealers and pit bosses, but somewhere away from the table. And then we'd go out. I actually never had one say No, and I'm pretty sure some of them had boyfriends or at least guys in their lives, but still they were willing to go out with someone else, evidently.
A lot of local women you meet in Vegas will complain that there are no quality single men in town, and that the single guys are mostly all partiers and players.
Part of the reason I'd never ask for a cocktail waitress' phone number right at the table, is that there are usually other females present, whether the dealer or the pit boss, and it just wouldn't seem right to single out one girl over another as it would be as much to say as that "she's hot, but you're not." By the same token I would never compliment a woman on her looks directly in front of another woman (unless somehow pulling it off to compliment them both equally). In fact, I recall a female host I had years ago who once complained to me that I never said anything about how hot she was. "I'm hot too!" is what she actually said. I just told her, well, you're married I figured you wouldn't want to hear something like that.
Anyway, getting back to present day, with some of the cocktail waitresses you're almost certain that if you ran into them away from the tables that they would slip you their number, and others, you're quite certain are just trying to be flirty to get better tips. But I haven't tested my theory, not for a while, because today I'm not interested in going down that path. But it's still fun to consider whether it would be possible...I mean, men will be men.

No, Mr. MDawg, the secret to success with the vast majority of women is $$$$$, a platinum Visa, bling, fancy transportation, and some "stones." Being a "flashy spender or big tipper is like a magnet. The results are "trophy" females, i.e., girlfriends, dates, wives, and companions. To play the game and score, takes all of the above and not much else. $$$$$ trumps looks and physique and intelligence.

Disagree. The secret to success with women - is to listen to them (or at least give the appearance of listening). Engaging while listening adds even more to the equation.

Day 58 play.
DD Blackjack. 300 - 20000.
There was some heavy duty action, but I won the larger bets, to come up from behind at time....
+15100
Note: Lately, for security reasons, session reports are not necessarily presented in real time corresponding directly to the day played.
I'm willing to present a side Challenge. If anyone doubts that any one, just any one of the Session reports I present during this trip is not entirely accurate, throw down a red flag! Put up a mere ten grand in cash, let's work out how to verify the Session to your satisfaction using the Wizard as the judge, and winner takes the twenty thousand.
I'll contribute five hundred from my end for the Wizard's time if the Challenger will do the same, so that's $19,000. to the winner of this side Challenge.
This Side Challenge remains good for the duration of this particular Vegas trip.

I agree with tutti on this one... I'm (relatively) fit and intelligent and a good listener, but I'm more or less lower-middle class, and therefore I'm generally ignored by women, and have been for decades. (Still not sure how I ended up married.)
Two things I know for sure are a ticket to guaranteed women: looks and money. And I mean REALLY good looks. I used to have a friend that was very handsome, and an amateur bodybuilder. Physically perfect in almost every way. Women would literally catcall him when he walked down the street. I saw it happen with my own eyes. And look at all those millionaires and billionaires with gorgeous young woman all over them.
All those other things MAY work, but looks and money ALWAYS work. Being a good listener is bupkus when you have nothing else to back it up with. If all you have is looks or money, you WILL get women.

My wife doesn’t play at all and never enters the casino unless it’s on its way to something else.
As far as looks and money being paramount - certainly. But if those are given then what makes the relationships indelible is what I mentioned about connecting to the girl. I mean sure, as Manny said in Scarface, A little coke money doesn’t hurt nobody, but - there’s more to the equation. Riches don’t just come without powerful personalities behind the success stories.
You might say, That guy has money which is why girls come to him, but WHY did money come to him in the first place?

"Indelible"? Talking about "scoring," hooking up, and/or connecting. First, one needs a magnet/attraction, then, after that wears off, comes the "indelible."
