Ok fellow WoV forum members - I have arrived in AC
I stopped off at Harrah's to play $50 FSP for my dad (my mom and he arrive tomorrow)
played $.25 Crystal Sevens
return of $64.25 for him
made my way over to Revel and have checked in
I have to make my way over to Bally's as I have $100 direct bet (which I
am hoping to turn into a whole lot more)
I have not been on the casino floor yet but check-in was not crowded
(although, it was only 11:30amEST)
I wish all the forum members positive variance
LET'S DO THIS!!!

OK - headed down the boardwalk to Bally's to play $140 in direct bets.
Sat down, got a blackjack the first hand - off to a good start - NOPE
Dealer then got 2 consecutive blackjacks LOL
things were up and down and at the end of the uneventful first shoe I was +300
Second shoe brought in some entertainment in the form of an asian lady and her
husband (who I have seen in many casinos previously) - she tried to persuade everyone
at the table (2 other gentlemen plus me) to let her have the table to herself and offered
us each a Green (we declined as we were somewhat perplexed by it and did not feel
like moving)
end of second shoe +100
Third shoe, things got rolling, the SPEED COUNT (yes, I said SPEED COUNT) was good and was up
$600 by the end of the shoe
Fourth shoe is where things got tricky, the two gentlemen I was playing with left, I proceeded to
get a few bad beats on double downs in 3 the first 5 hands
-things evened out until I lost the last 5 hands where my totals were (19, 18, 20, 20, 19)
dealer pulled (you guessed it (20, 19, 21, 21, 20)
So, after 4 shoes at Bally's I am +$150
Back at Revel for a snack and the end of the Giants game
More reports to come after the game
(Bob - don't send out any search parties - I am merely taking a brief respite)

Wishing you positive variance. I will be at Turning Stone on NYE. They wouldn't comp me a room for New Years, but they comped me one for Jan 1st. Plan is to stay up all night then crash at the room as soon as it becomes available. I have $40 free slot play, a $20 match play and a $10 match play. Should be interesting. I'll be checking for your updates during my breaks from the tables.

OK watched the end of the Giants game - good win - but the Lions could not overcome the Bears - therefore, no playoffs for big Blue this season.
Back to blackjack:
I ventured downstairs to the casino at Revel - glad-handed and kissed babies then sat
down to a table where the dealer warned me that he was "blazing hot"...I decided to
look the blackjack Grim Reaper right in the eyes and take a seat
Shuffle came and I pushed the first hand with an A,9 v. K,K
Blazing Hot then started to show how hot he was by winning 5 of the next 7 hands
However, the SPEED COUNT became good and I quickly recouped
I then hit a nice double down (7,3 versus dealer 6, A) I was dealt an 8
At the end of the shoe I was +$500
So, for this trip I am +$650
Went and registered for the NYE gala and brunch
Back to room, showered and getting ready to head back down - going to check out my dinner options and play another session
How is everyone else doing?

Revel pre-dinner session:
Played two hands - double down on both , won them
+1050 for trip
HOWEVER...
After dinner...went back to Bally- to meet up with some friends - ended up playing for about 3 hours
Session was basically up and down then hit horrific variance again wherein I kept getting
19's and 20's and the dealer kept getting 20' and 21's
After 2 hours I was down $2k (the $1k I had been up for the trip + another $1k)
The last hour I got to play with a spry 91-year-old from North Carolina who called every female "baby"
or "babydoll" - it was so good to see someone so alive at that age (when the dealer asked him the key to his longevity,
he replied "Never turn down sex when it is offered!"
So, seeing as he was winning - I began calling the dealers "baby" and "babydoll"
Lo and behold, I got $1300 back
Left Bally's +300
THEN...
Got back to Revel where all the youngsters were abuzz that Kanye West announced that the effervescent
Kim Kardashian (who was apparently on hand with the rest of the Kardashian clan) was pregnant
(as a divorce attorney, I find it quite interesting to imagine what her divorce attorney in Califonia
will have to say about her getting pregnant before she is even divorced ( I think this gives Kris Humphries
a leg up in getting her to settle for more than she probably would have)
I sat down to play and a few hands into the shoe noticed that I would win one hand then the dealer would win one hand...
this continued for the entire shoe save for once when I lost both hands of a split and then I won the next two hands
If only I would have believed the streak would go through the entire shoe, I could have bet table minimum then
table maximum every other hand...alas, I did not have such foresight...
The next shoe was not the same as I lost 4 double downs in a 10 hands and was quickly down
However, when the dealer change came, the extra burn card provided the kick in the a** to lady
variance that was needed---
I ended the night
+400 for the trip
TIme for bed.
I hope these reports are keeping you all entertained!!!
Sweet dreams.

bet he won't near casino tomorrow night.

If at Revel, say "Hi" to Kevin and UK and tell them the new year will be better, just keep doing the exact same thing they did in 2012.
If you go to Ballys, tell Don to either clean it up or lock the doors.
And then go over to Borgata where they appreciate gamblers.

Afternoon session:
Well I attempted to sit at a table and the lady thereon said that if I was going to sit down then she would leave.
She asked why I wanted to sit at that table so I told her I thought the dealer ( a dealer I know named "Michael")
was cute...she failed to see the humor and told me that she hated playing with him so I would be doing her a
favor by sitting down so she could leave. I then asked her if there were magnets holding her to the seat so
that she could not get up. Once again, the humor was lost on her (although maybe my attempts at humor were
sub-par).
I decided to let her stay at the table and I moved to the one next to it.
(I can only assume that she feels better about Michael now considering she turned $500 into $5,000 by the time I saw her leave)
OK, so I ended up playing at a table with 3 other gentlemen - all affable guys and we had a good time (was one of those social
tables that make the game of blackjack (beyond the gambling aspect)) fun.
The shoes, as usual, were up and down, down and up.
Finally hit a nice run of doubles and ended up +900 for the session
Trip total is now +1900
WOOHOO!!!
Break time and I will likely play another session or two before the Revel NYE Gala at 8pm.

Early evening session:
Soooo, I sat down, and the dealer ( a female I have played with on previous trips) asks
if I am seriously going to play with her...I looked at her inquisitively and said "Sure, why
not?" - she asked if I remembered that about a month ago (during a serious losing session)
I announced, after she beat me thoroughly, that I would never play at her table again...
I said, "Well, the past is the past, let's start anew"...She shuffled and proceeded to rain blows down
upon me a la Frank Costanza pre-Festivus
I lost 14 hands, 4 of which were doubles and 2 of which were splits
The +1900 was no more.
Back to even for the trip....
BUT THEN...
I spotted the dealer who treated me so well earlier and thought I could change the mood by
playing with her again (not superstitious but, come on already)
Proceeded to get the 1900 back
Back in the room getting ready for the NYE party - I will take pics
Trip is still +1900

Variance has been positive for me as well. Sat down with 300 on a 15 min table, played for 2.5 hours and ended with 200. Had been up at one point so frustrating. Went to craps and had a great session, turning that 200 into 1000 even. Pass line with full 5x odds and 2 comes with a little less odds. Got killed on my first 2 times shooting, then a guy took out a 1k marker and I shot for 15 min and was up to 600. He shot and made me another 300. His wife shot and Pso'ed. I shot and rolled for a lOng time, couldn't get the money off the table though. Colored up for 2 purples and gave 10 bucks to dealers. Had made some pass line bets along the way as well fOr the boys. Typing this on my phone so sorry for errors. Up 700 on trip, came with 5 so 1200 in my pocket, not bad. Time for a drink.

I don't know, but my wife went to Scioto Downs with me last night more for my birthday than for NYE. She only ended up hitting $5.00 on the FP wheel, and I have $200 for each of the five weeks of January, (they said yesterday started the first week of January for promotional purposes) so after losing a combined $200 we reverted to the Free Play and won $312 off of that ending up +$112. I tried to explain how I like to win/lose in multiples of $50.00, but she was somewhat tired, so we called it a day.
She's really into Free Play and asked me if I thought she would get any offers. She likes Cleopatra Keno and Quick Hits machines, too, I think that she'll actually voluntarily go back with me one day even though she would swear up and down she hates gambling prior to that.

Played a mini-session from 11:30pm til 11:45pm
The gentleman I played with is beyond negative but does it in a sarcastic way...
a lot of fun but I feel his negative vibes at the table...I was down $300 then he left and I quickly
gained the $300 back..then the SPEED COUNT got good and I ended the shoe +500
END OF 2012 = +2300
(side note...I told a friend of mine that, as the clock had just struck midnight and we were in the new year...that she should play her favorite number (24), on roulette...she agreed and took too long getting her money to the table - NO MORE BETS - you already know what number came up...I gave her a hug)

2013...still to be written as I have yet to play in 2013
Happy New Year to you all!!!
The gentleman I played with is beyond negative but does it in a sarcastic way...
a lot of fun but I feel his negative vibes at the table...I was down $300 then he left and I quickly
gained the $300 back..then the SPEED COUNT got good and I ended the shoe +500
END OF 2012 = +2300

Looks like Revel spent more money on costumes and decorations than they made in November.
Take them for all they have left!!

You have to spend other people's money to prove that you are a class joint of uncommon recreation.
Good job Ace for being positive for the year, and best wishes.

Any signs of life from Ace in 2013? Did he make it through the night?

he ran into don johnson and since the revel needs the business they offered both of them the same 20 percent rebate

Lookin good Ace!
I went to Sands for my NYE celebration and made $600 for the night.
Stopped playing 30 mins before the ball dropped and hit the bar to toast to the New Year!
Parking lot was a mess getting in, and even worse getting out. But after 15 mins of stop and go, got out and drove home safe n sound.
Amazingly, there were ZERO cars pulled over and only 1 trooper hiding in wait fishing for victims on I-78. Thankfully I was not one.
Cheers to the New Year and good luck in '13 Ace!!

Played another session with a girl and guy (the girl played while
the guy, apparently, was a "cooler" for her) basically , when he
would sit down , she would lose, then, as soon as he would leave,
she would win...
Ran up and down through four shoes, finally got a good run and
was up 600...played a double (6,5 v dealer 8) and was dealt a
6 for 17...dealer turned over a 10...last hand of the shoe dealer BJ
I decided to take a break +300 for the session
Trip total +2900
2013 total +600
I suppose the west coast WoV contingent is still asleep/recovering :)
