1. I don't believe MDawg has been knighted. Adding 'Sir' to his name is inappropriate. I understand the correct form of address is "The Great" but even that is optional.
2. I don't believe MDawg had any comments to make about even having Marcus as a disciple. We don't blame the actions of one member on another.

3. I don't believe 'fraudulent lying Dirt bag' is a useful description of the ex-member. MarcusClark who trolled us with a few lies and was dealt with accordingly. It's old news and off topic in this thread.

4. There is a thread specifically for discussing the suspension list.

Should get a 1099 if the payment was cash and not free play.

How was your drawing run?

Quote: MDawgAlan, this drawing assigns one free ticket to everyone, and up to a small number more based on play over a few day period. The odds of winning are quite good as the entry pool is only their very highest off the chart players - I imagine that of that pool maybe only half showed up so we might be talking about raw entries in under a couple hundred bodies, with anywhere from one to ___ tickets each. Really, you'd have to be stupid to not show up for this promotion, especially given that I was handed five grand in promo chips just for walking in the casino door.
link to original post
I was actually wrong about one thing - merely showing up (at the property, for a stay) did get you promo chips (not everyone got 5000 in promo chips but everyone got at least 2500), but absent play you got no tickets in the drum.
Which means that the guy who had to have been present to play, and perhaps played a lot to get a lot of tickets into the drum (who knows - it does take only one ticket to win), and who was the first ticket drawn and would have received $200K (but received zero because he was not present), must have been present during the ticket qualifying days, but for whatever reason was not present at the moment the tickets were drawn. I don't recall any other No-Shows, but that one, the first one out of the drum, definitely stood out. (His no-show reminds me of how, now twice, I have failed to show up for the Baccarat or Blackjack tournament wild card drawing when my name I am told was drawn to take me straight into the money round finals! but while I have lamented that FTA (failure to appear) mildly, I imagine the guy who missed out on $200K must be lamenting more than mildly.)
Yes, there were high end hors d'oeuvres, champagne and mountains of chilled seafood including oysters, shrimp, crab legs and lobster. Also scantily clad showgirls and singing entertainment. After all, this was an event for their very highest rollers, a special tier that is beyond the highest advertised tier - a secret society of sorts.
We did not place our tickets in the drum, all that was done by casino management. And then one person drew the tickets on stage to much fanfare. A friend of mine filmed me walking up and getting the prize, which all that consisted of is a handshake and a pic with the showgirls. In the past, such as when I won Baccarat tournaments I have been reluctant to pose for any pics but they have always assured me that no pics will be published. I am not into any of that sort of publicity.
Anyway as noted, you had to be present to win, and they waited only a few minutes after reading off a name.
After the contest ended we had to wait around to sign paperwork to take to the cage for our winning check or cash, and a copy of a W-2G was given to each of us as well.

Day 4 play.
Baccarat.
Quite a contrast to the Day 3 play. Just kept winning and winning. Didn't win all of my bets between 5-10K but I won every bet that was 20K or more. I separated this into two sessions and walked with a solid brick and then some.
+106000
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.

Years ago I saw a guy carrying a brick like that at the cage at Caesars. He was standing in line with it. He was either making a deposit with it -- or more likely he was in line to pay off his markers with it.
What i couldn't understand is why/how he would stand in line with so much cash?
Why not wire the money or present a cashier's check?
Why stand in line with it?
Adding to my curiosity... that man was well dressed in a crisply pressed suit, tie. Well groomed and polished and if I had to guess I'd say he was a professional such as a lawyer or accountant or doctor or business owner. He was not a runner for some gambling syndicate is my point.
Why would anyone openly carry that kind of cash?
The most cash I ever carried (and fortunately it was out of a casino and not to a casino) was $25k. And back then it was with my son and it was daytime and we drove from the valet to my bank where I immediately made a deposit. Yes, the bank took a CTR.
But when I hit those 100k royals, twice I took the whole amount in a check and once it was a 90k check.
I would honestly be afraid to carry something looking like that. I don't have enough pockets for it.
But getting back to the guy in line at the cage. What business did he have that allowed him to have that much cash?
I know two people who have businesses that deal in a lot of cash:
One owns coin laundries and she drove to Vegas with me once with buckets of quarters. The valet got a cart just for the quarters. I'm surprised the suspension on my car survived the trip. LOL
The other owns car washes but he told me the cash goes to the bank daily.
Anyway... your photo brought back memories....

Perhaps he had won the money at one casino, and was now in another standing in line at its cage to pay off his markers at that casino, or to deposit for front money play at that casino. Point being that it's hard to get cash out of a bank (I don't ever withdraw much cash at the bank, but my understanding is that to withdraw very large sums you must phone in advance and make an appointment), easy to get cash out of a casino, so perhaps the source of his brick was a casino, same as mine.

I recall once the guy in front of me at the cage at Caesars had a check from Bellagio. The Bellagio check was from winnings. The cage supervisor simply called the cage at Bellagio to verify the check (it seemed like they had a tie line, the call went through that quickly) and he was on his way.
Why take cash out of your bank when you can wire money? I know that Caesars treats cashier's checks like cash.

That amount of money might be pocket change to that guy. His "real" money is probably in a credit line or a wire.

Alan, you keep talking about someone's taking money out of the bank. I am saying that that guy you noticed with a brick of money probably got it from a casino he won at, same way I did, and was now taking it to a different casino either to deposit as front money or to pay markers at that different casino.
One thing no one would do though, is a make a wire transfer or cashier's check front money deposit and then withdraw it all in cash at the end of trip. That would be stupid - would be like reverse money laundering creating a problem for yourself with possibly having to explain someday where the cash came from by getting an incoming CTR with no outgoing CTR to wash against it.
I am a credit line player and yes my lines are quite high, high enough to get a private table, but I play with casino credit. When I win I generally take a casino check for verified win funds at the end of the trip, but sometimes, especially if it's mid trip, I get frisky and just want to hold a brick of cash to make it seem more real. Also, and I've talked to some high rollers, they just like to deal with cash only, not sure why - over all I prefer casino checks.

That brick of cash from Day 4 play means something because it represents winnings, from a single session, no less. Otherwise, who cares.

I can’t imagine carrying over $100k in cash. I don’t remember exactly how much, but probably around $5k after a successful Vegas trip, and I was going directly to visit my son at Mizzou after. We went straight to his bank from the airport where I deposited $2k into his bank account. He was quite happy I was nervous about carrying that much cash.
But if you think about it, the engagement ring my ex was wearing during our marriage was worth $$,$$$. The first number was likely a 2 or 3. I guess she got used to wearing it, but I can’t imagine getting used to walking around with $30k in my pocket.
And if MDawg is wearing one of his top end watches, that would exceed the $100k brick as well.
I guess it’s all what you are used to.

Why can't prisoners, who have nothing but time, use it to invest the way I invest money.
Ever hear of someone buying a car or a house with time instead of cash?
I usually hear nonsense like that from people who have neither and don't understand the concept.

Time isn’t money. At least not exactly. But we make decisions all the time on the value of our time.

Time is also money when someone is wasting my time, which I don't mind working or helping for free sometimes, but only if the advice is appreciated and heeded.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.

Day 7 play.
Baccarat.
I had some trouble accelerating past about 10K ahead until I powered ahead with a 15K Bank win, and from there it was fairly smooth sailing (although two 20K hands I did had mixed results - win one, lose one). By the end, a couple of observers who passed by my table mentioned that I should be up $400K based on the percentage of hands I was winning!
+57000
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.

Wasn't there a Twilight Zone in which a rich man was buying "years"?

In Time is a 2011 American science fiction action film written, directed and produced by Andrew Niccol. Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake star as inhabitants in a society where people stop aging at 25. Instead of using fiat money as currency, a new economic system uses time as currency, and each person has a clock on their arm that counts down how long they have to live. Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde, Matt Bomer, Johnny Galecki, and Alex Pettyfer also star. The film was released on October 28, 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Time
Apparently you can gamble with this time and winning big in the high limit room makes you immortal, until you lose. Everybody else gets 1 year and they're out unless they steal it from somebody else in a mugging.

Just watched the In Time movie on YouTube
https://youtu.be/17pCA-TjBV8
Very creative and enjoyable. I loved all the familiar LA scenes in Century City and the LA Film Commission had their hands all over this production.
It's worth your time... pun intended.

Good flick. For some reason I thought the lead girl was Mila Kunis (other than the eye color) didn't realize it was Amanda Seyfried until after I watched the movie.
The area of the bridges where Henry Hamilton falls as he times out is featured in a lot of movies including American Me.
Exit L.A.’s Most Cinematic Bridge (ALTHOUGH In Time was filmed at the Seventh (not Sixth) Street Viaduct, which remains in place.)
However, as you know that bridge is located near downtown L.A. which is where I think most of the In Time chase scenes were filmed, not Century City (some of the buildings might have been in Century City). A lot of movies seem to film their chase scenes right around the financial district of downtown L.A., such as around W 2nd and Figueroa, seen them filming many times.
Of course, "it's just a movie," but while it was difficult to get from the ghetto to New Greenwich it must have been easy to get back to the ghetto because Will Salas sped right back to it after the Timekeeper started chasing him. He also seems to have raced back to New Greenwich without stopping and paying all the tolls, or maybe they just glossed over that part.
The entire cast was a good looking collection of young people (had to be - the movie's premise was that no one ages physically past 25) reminds me of what you might see in the hallways of some of the top Strip casinos on the nights their clubs are open.

Are you an F-1 fan? Apparently November 2023 there will be a race in Vegas. Will you be asking for a suite with a view?

With the winning streak he is on he may have a team racing in it.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I tend to plan the Vegas trips around promotions and tournaments, but lately we're there long enough to have our fill of whatever might be going on in town around that time.

Day 8 play.
Baccarat.
Very quick session. Got ahead 5K, put it all on one hand that looked good to me, won, another bet or two (lost one, won one) to cover all the commission I had left in the tray, left.
+11100
Note: Lately, for security reasons, session reports are not necessarily presented in real time corresponding directly to the day played.

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.

Looks like April might be a month of pause in Vegas? as far as tournaments and such. I see more than a few on the horizon in May though!

Funny because out of the blue one of my hosts contacted me excitedly and affirmed that yes we will be there and yes with a huge suite with a view. I stopped thinking about it when I realized this was happening in 2023, for some reason I was thinking November 2022.
