Vegas Vacation with AOS
Quote: TomspurThe LV 51's are the local Minor league baseball team and they play at Cashman Field
PS: Have a great trip and hit em hard!!!! Oh, and play good cards too :)
Are the LV 51's a take off on Area 51?
Every single hand I pressed the dealer had an Ace showing (not exaggerating--roll back the tape and it will be shown as true)
Trip is -5k
Quote: aceofspadesJust lost every hand in the shuffle on 6 of 8 shuffles
On tilt losing 5k
Sheeech! One thing I'd like to mention about my play, I never, and I mean never let it affect me how anyone plays their hands. If the player before me should have stood but takes a hit and draws a 7 that I could have used when I hit my 14 and now I draw an 8... doesn't bother me one little bit. Just because he hit when he shouldn't have doesn't mean I'm going to receive a bust card. I know you probably know this too and it's just a pet peeve, but for me it means absolutely nothing. I have my faults, but this isn't one of them.
But down 5 big. Damn. I've been there.
:-(
Be that as it may, might I suggest you make your briefs briefer and spend that time learning a system other than SPEED !
Bob, pm me if I left anything out.

CRY BABY !
I don't blame you for being down. Probably feeling a little needy and thinking about Carmen Miranda. Remember this, for every 5k down you will have a 5.1k up. Laugh it off, buddy. Attack with precision. Make the right moves no matter what.

I am not into hookers so no Carmen for me

I don't think women in Vegas, who are not looking to get paid, are that forward -- especially towards me

Could this be enough for EvenBob's 15k post??
Sorry about the runbad, ace.

Thanks I just wish I could actually win a hand once in a while
Maybe I should just go downstairs and socialize
The first couple of shuffles and I had regained a whopping 400
However...all was not to be rosy as I hit another downturn
Of course, the others at the table were enjoying multiple blackjacks and winning double downs while I endured losing the 400 then another 1k
Including the following:
I had 200 up
Dealt an 8,8 v dealer 6
Split got another 8
First 8: 10 for 18
Second 8: 3 then double dealt a 9 for 20
Third 8: Ace for 19
Dealer has 6 turns over 8...then Ace...Ace...5 for 21
However, by the beard of Zeuss I hit some positive variance and was able to press and regain the 1k plus another 1k
Trip now -4k
Quote: djatcCheck my thread on downswings. I hope you come back and crush them.
Excellent post and captures my earlier feeling exactly -- the world becomes covered with a dark film
Cheers
Quote: sodawaterIn times like these you should take an overview and be thankful you are in the position to fly to Vegas and lose $5,000. That's a better spot than 99% of the world.
I would kill to trade the results of my last 3 trips for $5k losses.
Quote: Uranium235Sorry if I missed something AOS but where have you been dong the latest rounds of betting? Still at the GN?
Cheers
Yes still at GN

I realize it is all relative and feels most horrific when in the middle of the downswing

Yeah it really does, and I don't mean to make light of your current trip. Losing that high of a percentage of your hands is really bad luck.

Exactly it feels as if the casino has David Copperfield dealing the cards using sleight of hand to ensure the dealer always gets the card they need
I also wanted to bring up the term "slump buster". You just need a feel-good, slow-motion moment to turn things around. :)
Quote: MoosetonHate to derail this but I got hit on pretty strongly tonight at Mermaids by a waitress that I'm pretty sure is a working gal. Don't doooiiittt!

I suppose Mermaids will gain the reputation for girls working for the casino as well as for themselves
A feel good slow motion moment--sounds like I need to go back to Mermaids lol
Quote: aceofspadesYes still at GN
What's your betting spread on the double deck game and the six deck, if you're playing it? I doubt that you would play H17. Once you feel you've given them enough play will you be heading to the Strip?

Apparently there are two versions of Speed Count. We have Speed Count Conservative and the Very Aggressive Speed Count. The latter calls for a 1-15 spread on a two deck game (3 hands at 5 units each). Good luck with that. If allowed the bankroll requirement would be huge. Can it even be simmed accurately?

Walking into the casino looking good with wind blowing in your hair with Sweet emotion playing in the background.......Feel-good moment!!! :)
Buck up ace, go get 'em brother!!!
Told the dealer every time I pressed yesterday dealer got 21
He said no way
I pressed and he pulled a 3 card 21 then I lost 8 in a row
And damn it, go back to Mermaids, eat a Deep Fried Twinkee and get your mojo back.

You must be very friendly, Mermaids girls never talk to me, much less ask me if I want beads.
