Was actually up about 60K near the beginning of session then up and down (mostly down) until a series of big losses. Lots of 50K hands.

His variance is close to zero. He has specifically mentioned a bunch of $50k bets in his recent session reports. And his entire session results have been within a few of those big bets. It would be like if my results, as a $25 bettor, were + or - $50 a session. I rarely fall in that range.
But DarkOz, notice he never says how much he makes in a week, because he knows how variable THAT is. I think it’s also different in that he has a job with steady income, and your entire income stream is through your AP play.

If that's your thing, bet I have a higher EV!
According to an internal memo shared with the Review-Journal, Rio is implementing a 50/50 toke split for all table game dealers. Under the new policy, dealers will keep 50 percent of the tips, or tokes, earned at their table. The other 50 percent will be pooled and split evenly among all dealers who worked within the given 24-hour period.
Wow, dealers will be fighting to deal my table then. But I don't play Rio anyway.
Wonder how this will work for "breakers" will they get 50% of what is received in tips during their twenty minutes?
Quote: MDawgThe current tip pooling policy depends on the casino. Some pool just within the shift, some pool everything across all shifts.

For the three weeks that I was a BJ dealer we pooled the tips across 24 hours and everyone got an equal cut.

Do dealers bring their own toke boxes to and from the table?
Also good question about the 20 minute break guys.
And logistically, if they get a $25 toke, do they make change and put $12.50 in their pocket and $12.50 in a box?
I will say this…. I think the present shared tip system disincentives good service. The dealers know that their individual performance and attitude is not tied to their paycheck.

Agreeing with you physically hurts me but you are correct. 20% of the dealers make 80% of the tips. What this does is makes the lazy dealers even lazier because they know they're going to get a portion of the hard working dealers tips. It's a terrible idea. But it's good for management because they need people coming in every day and sharing tips makes even the worst dealers show up for work.
Quote: MDawgNot under the usual current system. These are picked up and transported by security same as the cash drop boxes.

I would expect that under any system where all the tokes are not pooled, the dealers will carry their own toke boxes. Any accounting and pool chop can still happen in the back room.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 20 minute breakers disappeared as well. When a dealer came back from a break, they would just relieve a dealer on a different table. All dealers would rotate tables, an hour at a time. This gives all the dealers ample chance to establish a rapport with players and hustle tokes graciously thank them for playing.
In places where dealers keep their own tokes it’s customary for them to each have their own toke box and take it from table to table .Quote: DieterQuote: MDawg

That’s not how he does it. He has metal dust surreptitiously affixed to the 9’s and 8’s in the deck. Before each hand is dealt, he waves that thing over the soon to be dealt cards. If it starts beeping, he now knows the next card will be an 8 or a 9. So he bets one of those $50k ‘advantage’ hands on player. And the pit boss just thinks he’s some weird guy and doesn’t suspect a thing!
I apologize to MDawg for exposing his secret.

No no no. Get real. He has those x-ray glasses you can buy in the back of comic books and he improved them so they can see through the cards the dealer has.

Quote: MDawgHaving done this myself with Wizard (rappelling near Red Rock), I invite Wizard's comment on how or why this happened? He and I talked about one mishap being - that your rope isn't long enough, but that isn't what happened here.
‘Her smile was contagious’: California climber falls to death at Red Rock
Although she was a skilled climber with experience climbing difficult routes graded 5.11 and 5.12, she was new to “trad climbing,” in which the climber places their own gear into the rocks. That sort of climbing is more dangerous, as it is easier for the gear to fall out.

I read about that at the Search & Rescue web site. This fatality was due to a common mistake -- rappelling on the wrong/pull side of the rope. That and having too short of a rope are the two most common causes of deaths in rappelling.
In general, most mountaineering accidents are due to human error and of those, most can be filed under overlooking the basics.
From now on, I think I'll put blocks on both sides of the rope. The last person will have to remove one of them and be careful to rappel off the correct side.

Beat SOOPOO, who made $21 on NBA yesterday. (To put a dent in minus $100 the day before,,,). For whatever reason, I’m craving a watch picture. Show us one you would buy with your $44,000 win.
Retail around 60, but I can get it gray for around 30.
Heavy duty action in the first session, a number of $50K hands. Second session more on the low end.

Looks like you won around 2 of these in last trip report. Why not buy it?
How often do you actually wear an upscale watch?
Buying something adds a tangible reality to a casino win but it still feels real whether I buy with or just deposit.
Two sessions played alll day. Bigg win. Interestingly max bets were about 30K “only” and on a couple of those won a massive tie bet instead of the actual bet itself.

When I was younger and gambling a lot I tried to make a purchase of something tangible with each big win. Not necessarily something big, just a TV, stereo, or something that I could point to as a prize from the casino.

I won $500 in a 3 point shooting contest (Gus Macker) years ago, and bought a basket for my house with it.
And wife would buy silly expensive shoes or purse with proceeds from TSLA sales.
I like knowing ‘where it came from’ even though in actuality all my money is really one big pot.
Nice hit! I don’t care how much money you have; winning $200k must be sweet. SOOPOO did GREAT yesterday on sports betting….. won the same as you. (Just take away the ‘k’ part!).
When we go to the casino they tend to ask her why she’s rarely around and she tells them she doesn’t like casinos. Sometimes they tell her Well don’t worry your husband definitely knows what he’s doing you should come and watch sometime. But as I’ve mentioned I don’t like anyone around when I’m playing as far as spectators. When you’ve got 50K out on a hand or thinking about doing that it’s just about you and you alone you don’t want any input from anyone.

I made an exception allowed someone I know to play on my table mirrored my bets to special limits cleared over a half million and left. (Don’t ask me how much that person is down though, a half million didn’t bring back to even, even.)

Considering retiring and just living off of the casinos?
Or do you think the casinos will figure out your modus operandi and end the gravy train?
Leave Vegas while I’m winning like this, also no.
I have always moved around a lot - I don’t play at the same casino too much.
