When I used to bike a lot, my friends and I would watch some kind of biking movie to get all pumped and then go out biking the whole next day.
Last year when we watched F1 in Vegas I didn't even realize that F1 is the same thing as the Grand Prix. It was just something to watch never been into watching car races really.
This year, as have time, been watching Grand Prix (1966) which actually is not a bad movie. Been watching it on TMC but apparently also available on YouTube.
Watching parts of that movie definitely gets you hyped about F1! Ready to roll for end of November in Vegas. There might be another event where they allow civilians to drive certain cars over the course....

By the end of Grand Prix (1966), one driver is killed and there are multiple accidents.
“Grand Prix” by Frankenheimer, and the Shocking Count of Death
Nearly Half of the Real Racing Drivers in the Film Would Die Violent Racing-Linked Deaths
It got me to thinking - could something like that happen in Vegas? The crash at the end of the fictionalized 1966 movie is on the Italian course at Monza, which is banked -
50 years ago today: F1’s worst tragedy at Monza
In 1961, a crash during the Italian Grand Prix claimed the lives of 16 people -
unlike the completely level Vegas course. But, could an F1 racer come careening off the course and smash into the stands along the Strip?
Apparently there has not been an F1 fatality since 2017, although there were 52 before then, starting in 1952.

It's big money creating an attractive nuisance to the fans in the stands. Of course there's the risk of a car coming off the track in whole or in pieces at a high rate of speed possibly in flames. It's just some stupid luxury race for the elite that make them think they can make the streets their own going 6X the speed limit. These races should be on some off road course built for the purpose and not impinging on daily life of the city so hard. The only upside is that the roads get paved for once.

Polanski did a doc on the grand prix in 73 and did an update on it a few years ago. The doc now has an extended 20 minutes of modern interviews with the same people. (Make sure you get the newer version)
The main guy lobbied hard for driver and spectator protections and cites much lower fatalities now as a result.

Stumbled on this
had never heard of them before (although now that I think about it - Adin Ross is the streamer who interviewed Trump recently and gave Trump a Rolex). They are playing at the same levels I will sometimes play blackjack BUT they are more or less flat betting (sometimes a little variation, but what I'd describe as Making some larger bets - on impulse).
The card hitting is also on impulse, sometimes stands on 16 against dealer 10, sometimes not, and nothing to do with the count or anything else that may be calculated. Violates basic strategy a lot.
Both of these guys rake in quite a bit off Twitch and YouTube, millions a year, although the Adin Ross character has been banned off Twitch at different times, and was crying about losing $50M in the crypto downturn of August 2024, and trying to borrow $5M off the XQC guy. Their blackjack videos usually include a third person who doesn't have all that much money and gets sucked or browbeat into losing it all alongside the two millionaires.
Entertaining, but also sad to watch them dump all that money, although I didn't watch more than the first 15 minutes of the video so I don't actually know how it ends.
Apparently both of them routinely gamble millions on different platforms including online. Both have claimed to be broke or at least in financial distress at different times during the last year.
This video is at the high limit room at the Red Rock.

Here is another one.
In this one Dana White joins in, but only on select hands. I did not watch the video long or closely enough to count the deck down, but I assume White is jumping in when the count is higher.
Adin keeps more or less flat betting - and losing, prodigiously.
White has a row of bottled waters next to him, while Adin is powering down White Russians.

Quote: AutomaticMonkeyI would expect the hold for baccarat players to be lower, just due to the slowness of the game
link to original post
However,
What casino games give players the best odds at winning?
The game with the best player edge in 2023: mini-baccarat, with a 12.43 percent win rate for the casino. The game won $90.6 million from 118 units.
Twenty-one (blackjack), 1,998 units that won $1.326 billion and had a win rate of 14.82 percent.
Baccarat, 393 units that won $1.488 billion and had a win rate of 16.42 percent.
Between mini and regular (midi) Baccarat, you'd expect according to the Monkey's theory that Baccarat would have a lower hold than its generally faster paced mini Bacc game, but it does not or at least did not in 2023.
Mini baccarat won less for the house than in 2022, while blackjack and baccarat won more than a year ago.

While traveling, have picked up a bottle of this - didn't even realize it came in such a high 600+ compounding. Doesn't taste medicinal though.
Goood.
One of the major antibacterial components of Manuka honey is a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO comes from the conversion of another compound in Manuka honey known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a high concentration of which is found in the nectar of Manuka flowers.
The higher the concentration of MGO, the stronger the antibacterial effect. Of course, this is with reference to external properties - ideas are mixed as to what benefits it might have internally when ingested (something like with aloe vera).
Honey producers have a scale for rating the potency of Manuka honey. The rating is called UMFTM, which stands for Unique Manuka Factor.
The UMFTM rating reflects the concentration of 3 signature compounds found in genuine Manuka honey, MGO, DHA, and leptosperin. To be considered potent enough to be therapeutic, Manuka honey needs a minimum rating of UMF™ 10+.

What’s a hotel room gonna cost over Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend?
Zero if you have any connections.
But otherwise...
The average three-night stay (Nov. 21-23) at nine MGM Resorts properties during race weekend as of Tuesday was $1,314.72 total, according to room rates advertised on the company’s website and compiled by the Review-Journal. The average cost of the same three days at eight Caesars Entertainment properties was $987.41, according to a Review-Journal review.
The most expensive three-night stay at an MGM Resorts property was at Bellagio at $2,706.66 and the cheapest was at the Excalibur at $801.25, with taxes and fees included.
As far as Caesars properties go, the most-expensive three-night stay is at Caesars Palace at $2,037.27 and the cheapest race weekend stay is at the Linq for $687.48.

If the casinos catch on, people making a living off pushing dem buttons may have a hard time making it.
Are free-play offers a waste of money for casinos?
In their study, titled “Measuring the Impact of Reduced Free-play Offers on Casino Loyalty Behavior,” Anthony Lucas, a professor and researcher at UNLV’s Harrah College of Hospitality, and his collaborator, San Diego State University professor Katherine Spilde, gathered 400 mid-level players with the same free-play “offer tier,” and gave them all $15 a week in year-one of the study to see how much they spent.
In year two, Lucas said, they split the group up into smaller sections of 100 people and gave them varying amounts of $0 to $15 in free play. What they found was that there was no significant difference in spending or visiting either for the control group that still had $15 or the experimental group whose offers were knocked down to $10 a week.
“We didn’t see any change in visitation or gaming spend over that six-month period,” Lucas said. “That’s (a) pretty, pretty important result, because you just decreased your play incentive costs by 33%—going from $15 to $10.”
The group that only got $5 spent more than in the previous time period, even with a 67% cut in their free-play offering, Lucas said. The spend for the $0 group also saw no significant difference.
“Nobody would have guessed that,” he said. “Like, I don’t care who you talk to—nobody. If it was a wager in the sportsbook, no one is going to bet on that there’ll be no change.”
“Everybody always says, ‘Well it’s a competitive market—if I don’t do it, my competitors will, I’ll lose all my business,’ ” he said. “Well, that’s not necessarily so. There’s something to be said for having the nicest place. You could reinvest that capital in the servicescape, the facility itself, parking, service delivery, improving bottlenecks and things like that—even staff.”

Their study involved ridiculous amounts.
The difference between $15 and $10 is a big mac without fries and soda. In other words gamblers didn't give a crap about the loss.
$15 is also gone so quick it's equivalent to near zero.
They should have compared $200 freeplay to zero and seen if that resulted in similar affects.
I suspect not and primarily because I just witnessed the past few years a major shrinkage of offers. And now after about four years suddenly the offers are expanding in this particular market. Speaking to a casino rep they said yeah their experiment in cutting offers resulted in less visits by customers.
Note the AMOUNT of the offers wasn't important. It was the frequency. Two offers a month (regardless of amount) meant people visiting 2 times a month. 16 offers a month meant a lot more visits.
So I am not too worried (I know you would like me to be) but freeplay isn't going anywhere

The freeplay scam is a low end scheme (others here have called it a "one trick pony"), and I don't give it any more thought than it is worth.
The real deal is kicking the casinos' arses via grand play where they don't know what hit them.

I may have called DarkOz a one-trick pony years ago based on some of his comments at the time, however, I do not believe that to be the case anymore, I believe he would migrate into somthing else gambling-related.
Anyone who thinks the free-play AP game is a low-end scheme is VERY VERY uninformed when it comes to Advantage Play.
According to Acers Gaming, "the casinos spend a staggering $37.2 billion annually on free slot play."
(Yes, they have an agenda to push)
37 BILLION let that number sink in.
One only needs to figure out how to AP a teenie tinny piece of that to become very wealthy, and many have done just that. It's been around for over 20 years and it's probably going to be around for 20 more.

You have to remember whom you are dealing with here. Finding what you request is child's play, limited only by the limitations of the primitive WOV search system, but I found it nonetheless.
As far an illustration of my recall abilities. Just one example. Decades ago my gf at the time and I went to this convention. I can tell you exactly what each speaker said word for word as to some of what they said exact facial expressions and what they wore. My memory is total recall just like that it’s almost maddening the clarity with which I recall almost everything that has transpired in my life dating back to when I was about four years old.
Why do you think MDawg almost always wins at card games - I can tell what has been played in the decks what remains and what it means mathematically at any given moment.

For reasons I have discussed in the past I discount most anything you have to say on the topic of gaming. And given that you were apparently incapable of reading correctly a simple post I just made, where SandyBestDog, not D.Oz, made the statement about "one trick pony," where the point being was that we were discussing D.Oz all along, why would I engage with you further. Again, I reiterate that you tend to misread or mis-skim much of what is posted here.

I'd think that Cosmo, especially balcony suites, most especially wraparounds, in the Boulevard tower would be the highest for this event. Last year supposedly maintenance was going to jam all the sliding glass doors to keep people from going out to watch F1 free, but this turned out to be an unsubstantiated rumor.
The wraparounds used to be among my favorite suites at Cosmo, but the wife prefers the Lanais and Bungalows.

MGM, Caesars concede 2024 F1 race unlikely to replicate last year’s returns
I don't sense the same buzz as last year, but then again last year we were already there on an ongoing trip and saw it all unfold. This year at the moment we are quite far from Vegas.
However, after having watched the last two F1 races in Mexico and Brazil, I know the names of a few of the top contenders. Verstappen. Sainz. Leclerc. So the race actually means something to me now versus just watching some cars run round a track.

I have to go see my podiatrist.
Sadly he is a one trick pony. Claims he only treats feet.
Anyway, yes I personally am a one trick pony for now. I have branched out occasionally but find my trick so worthwhile and easy for me, difficult for others that I come back to it.
I will make a claim that is CURRENT as of this moment and based solely on the daily wins MDawg has posted.
And that claim is as of now, I make more than him on a daily basis with my players card trick than he does with his gambling adventures
Sorry MDawg but if you saw the money I was making right now you wouldn't waste your time with card counting and trying to play unwrapped incorrectly preshuffled decks at Baccarat
How is that Baccarat AP going BTW? Haven't seen any Baccarat adventures recently

Why am I reminded of junior high school, listening to two guys tell us all about their " Canadian" girlfriends?
Or watching Judy Justice reminds a defendant that a good memory is not necessary if you tell the truth.

In any case, I have had winning days of + a cool quarter mill or so. I've also had winning days of +$100. I've also had losing days of -$50K or -$100K or even more.
So, if you're saying you've "outdone" my days, that means as little as the absurd "$20K a week (but not every week)" gobbledygook. Maybe you've been losing money every day and have outdone some of my losing days. Or made over $100. and outdone some of my winning days.

Only since it was you that asked.
I was very nicely compensated, and then received an extremely generous bonus when I left.
I was never lied to, and had a clear understanding of my role, but I occasionally felt out of the loop
I was not screwed over in any fashion. Several team members went above and beyond in helping me.
We parted company as much better friends than we started.
We socialized a good bit outside of work( we rarely worked together)
When I had my stroke, Axel tracked me down, even though I was in a hospital far from where I lived.
I attended his wedding and introduced him to the Wonderful World of Independent Wrestling.
If he invited me to work with him again, I would if it were at all possible.
He was a great boss and a very good friend.
That reads like an outline of an obit so I'll stop.

I know I said somthing along those lines im just not 100% sure when and what I said. Heck, it was probably more than once. I would hazard to guess I was probably the first person say that about DO, and im sure a few others have followed suite.Quote: MDawgQuote: AxelWolfI may have called DarkOz a one-trick pony years ago
link to original post
May have? You can't even remember what you said or didn't say in the past?
For reasons I have discussed in the past I discount most anything you have to say on the topic of gaming. And given that you were apparently incapable of reading correctly a simple post I just made, where SandyBestDog, not D.Oz, made the statement about "one trick pony," where the point being was that we were discussing D.Oz all along, why would I engage with you further. Again, I reiterate that you tend to misread or mis-skim much of what is posted here.
The day you have something worthwhile to say, I'll respond further. For now, closed!
link to original post
BTW, DarkOZ makes a very good point with his doctor being a specialist analagoy.
People might consider you to be a 1.2 trick pony since you claim to mostly play baccarat, and you like to give a little BJ play.
Meanwhile, people like me have Advantage Played just about every game in the casino(s) in multiple denominations everywhere from the slums of northtown to the highlimit rooms on the strip.
Sports, Keno (both live and video), reel and video slots(as much as $1200 a spin), video poker (numourouse versions, betting as much s $500 a hand), live and video... BJ, Big 6, roullett, baccarat, craps, pigow, poker, skill games, various table games that don't even exist anymore. I have played thousands of different games when you include everything.
The most susessfull Advantage Players of all time don't mess with slots or table games... they play the horses. I suspect AP sports betting is a very distant 2nd.
Well I ain't superstitious but I do get suspicious...
I been to Phoenix Arizona all the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Mississippi,Oregon, Michigan, Iowa, AC, but never Canada or LA, Northern California and all around the US, just to make some sweet ass AP plays. Keep paying me baby...

City of Las Vegas recovering after unexpected, record-breaking snow
Heavy snow falls on Las Vegas during November snowstorm
Some Las Vegas residents saw as much as 17 inches of snow as of midday after a wintry mix moved in overnight. “The snowflakes are small, but the rain is right with it,” said Casey.
“I thought there is no way, we woke up and I said look we are in a snow globe,” said Erica Chavez, Las Vegas resident.
