sorry again -
as part of apologizing to MDawg I went back and tried to delete all of my posts
but I hit "quote" instead of "edit" - that's why you see all of these posts
but I went back and hit "edit" and I believe I have now deleted them all the correct way

No problem, thank you.
I actually have an unscientific rationale for why I lost so much money that day towards the end of that trip, but I can't post it publicly. Anyone (in real life) I have gone over it with agrees with me.

Quote: MDawgThe last time I attempted to override the ban via a request it was made clear in writing that I was free to visit and stay at the property, enjoy most anything it had to offer, but if I attempted to play, I might be subject to a trespass which would mean a complete 86.
I have no interest in staying in a casino resort where I cannot earn comps.

Further to this
Quote: MDawgYes, three times, three separate matters.
Twice via letter writing, the one time the letter was not even responded to, the second time there was some response, and once all the way to hearing.
What I learned from the experiences was that unless it involves a non-discretionary matter that getting gaming involved isn't the way to go. The matter that went to hearing I would still send to hearing all the way no regrets there.
Over all what I have learned with regards to casinos in general is that pushing things via letter writing, and formal complaints, is not the way to go unless the matter is non-discretionary or some gaming rule is being violated.
Sometimes all it takes to resolve something is a phone call and a meeting one on one with a higher up.

I am still trying to schmooze my way back into the Major that banned me, and I now have an outside person who carries a lot of clout with that casino working on it too.

We move on with Avalanche tomorrow.
What I like is that the Knights have dispatched each adversary so far with a 5 to 1 win to close the last game of each playoff to a winning 4 to 2. That shows strength.

The word on the street is at least that Avalanche will defeat the Knights in the Playoffs, however, we have beaten them before in individual games.

Somewhere around 28% chance VGK upsets COL.
COL is the best team in the league. VGK has been underwhelming all season…. Until now?

The regular season is a warm-up for this Tournament, and the G.K. has a different coach who uses strategies different from those the team used most of the season. It's uphill, but thats what will make the victory sweeter.

I see here several posters in a thread with the same topic on gamblingforums. Is that forum gone? it would be ironic since their main thread was entitled “Wizard forum is dying”! A macabre joke! Glad to see all of you from GF alive and kicking. When I try now to access GF al I get is:

Really? Didnt you post in GamblinForums GF (not girl friend)? at least about the “dying wizard forum” wf? The thread went on for over 10 years overthere. Several people here posted in that GF thread.
So I wonder WTF happened to GF?

If you had said GF.com more people might have know what you were talking about, but around here we don't discuss other forums much, if it all. Part of that is due to a rule against "importing drama" from other forums, another is a general marketing policy of not mentioning rival forums.

The first side bet that was around in Baccarat, I assume, was the tie bet. Simple enough, pays 8:1 if Bank and Player tie.
There was a variation to this that emerged at one of the Strip Majors for a while, that paid differing amounts based on what numbers tied, with the least paid for ties involved 6:6 and 7:7.
Betting on pairs is a common one that has been around a long time, pays 12:1, and people bet on Bank or Player pairs, or both. It is a separate bet placed on Bank or Player.
Then of course we have the Banker wins with 6
Lucky 6 / Tiger 6 bet.
The one that pays 22:1 is if bet separately and Bank wins with a two card 6, 50:1 for a three card 6 Bank win.
You may also bet Tiger as a single bet, and this pays 12:1 small (2 card Tiger), 20:1 big Tiger (3 card Tiger):
https://www.gaming.nv.gov/siteassets/content/divisions/enforcement/rules-of-play/Tiger_6.pdf
Another one is the "Tiger Pair" which is a single bet that covers Bank and Player together.
Bank or Player any pair, 4:1
Bank and Player any pair, 20:1
Bank and Player identical pair 100:1
The "Player wins on 7" (Lucky 7 / Super Lucky 7) is a new side bet that emerged earlier this year. The Player has to win with 7, but the payoff is the most if the Bank loses with 6, especially if more than four cards are involved. Payoffs up to 100:1 if the Player wins with 7 and Bank loses with 6, and six cards are dealt.

As far as the above bets, the Lucky 6 / Tiger 6, became extremely popular, displacing the popularity of betting on the tie, soon after introduced.
Betting it blindly every hand is probably the worst thing someone may do. When I used to play public tables I was on a Bank run for a dozen or so Banks, and bet the Bank only pressing all the way and made a mint, not even betting that big I made about fifty grand and walked, while another player at the table was putting a 1000 on each Bank bet (flat bet) but also 1000 on each Tiger bet (special limits). If either of these had hit, the player would have made a grip, but on this Bank run there were no specials, no Bank 6 wins, so the player actually lost a thousand plus 50 commission paid out on each hand. So by the end of the run the player was in the hole -12600 even though won each hand, plus the loss on the thirteenth hand which came up Player.
As far as the Lucky 7 / Super Lucky 7 bets on Player winning with a 7, the crew likes to say that "these hit more often than Tiger 6," which they actually do, but the house edge is as bad or worse as far as I can see, plus I haven't devised yet a way to count these yet unlike the Tiger 6 bet which I have known how to count since it was introduced.
To the average player, these side bets all seem like a good idea when they hit, especially if someone tends to bet them and doesn't on the very hand where it hits big, and the casinos are "banking" on this FOMO.

Very popular, but among whom, the casinos or the players?
Those bets are all over the Strip, to the exclusion of almost everything else. But I don't see much action on them. I think typical players recognize how bad they suck.
Meanwhile at the lower-roller off-Strip stores with Golden Frog and 5 Treasures I see cheques all over that layout.

I may be more insulated from what is going on because I've been playing private / reserved tables for some time now, but whenever I pass by at all of the Majors where I play on the Strip, I see people betting Tiger 6 like there's no tomorrow.
At the casinos where some tables have the Tiger 6 bet and others do not, the tables that have Pairs only versus Tiger 6 are usually emptier.
