OK down in AC to see Andrew "Dice" Clay…ran into him on the escalator already with his wife - said hi and he was very affable - friendly and thanked me for coming down to see the show tonight. (yes yes I know he probably says that to everyone that says hi to him)
Played a one-shoe session - had an up and down run then won the last 3 hands
Trip is +600

You said you were done with revel. Are you staying somewhere else? If so what offers did they give you for your play?
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Gave me $35 in free play (but I haven't played here much at all)
Just played 4 shoes:
First shoe ended still up 600
Second shoe a gentleman joined me and he started losing so he did the usual "I'll throw in 2 hands" bit - the dealer proceeded to get a Blackjack and a 21 on the following two hands
He then switched back to 1 hand and both he and I lost in the shoe - although he lost the 1k he bought in for and I only lost the 600 I was up
Third shoe I was playing alone and things were rocky but manageable
However towards the end it got fought
I had three hands in a row of natural 20
Unfortunately, the dealer, on those three consecutive hands, had natural blackjacks
I had not only lost the 600 I was up at this point, but another 800
Fourth shoe is where things finally got going good
I had regained, with the help of 4 doubles, the 800 I was down
It was then up and down until I was able to press
Trip is +650
Dinner time now then head to see "Dice"

Dice was entertaining - performed about 45 minutes after a female comic opened up the show - she sees to just yell fuck, clit, motherfucker etc
Dice did a lot on marriage and women these days
He did an encore of all his nursery rhymes
After the show I headed to the high limit
6 tables were open BUT 4 were RESERVED for a guy who had been playing earlier hopping between 2 tables--apparently, he wanted 4 tables at the ready so he could table hop if he didn't feel a vibe (he was betting 500/hand earlier) but right now he is on the main floor playing craps while keeping 4 high limit blackjack games closed to the public--leaving the open 2 tables almost full

That's funny, I've seen GN do the same thing
in Vegas. They had two tables roped off for
one guy and he jumped between the two
of them playing three hands at a time.
It was entertaining, he had a little crowd
watching him.

Ok I took a nap and freshened up for the evening ahead...entered the high limit room to the blaring of some music - sounded like Sinatra but wasn't him - just some big band standards
It was precipitating from a boom box attached to an iphone
I inquired as to the who what where when why and how of this boom box and was told that a player at the craps table only plays craps if his choice of music is playing -- as such, they are blasting this boom box for him
Additionally, four tables are once again reserved for Hop Along Cassidy (the high roller who jumps from table to table) in the high limit room
Between the boom box and reserved tables, I may have I venture elsewhere

Once again 4 tables RESERVED for the one guy -- apparently he is a haphazard player going from betting 50/hand to 10,000/hand out of nowhere -- I assume he is not counting as I would assume that no casino would tolerate a 1 to 200 spread

I read that article on the guy who took AC for millions in BlackJack, so the rules aren't set by law like here in MD.

If people say that sit at this table play all spots and start splitting 10's. You'll get surrender in no time since everyone will curse you and leave. Make sure you blow smoke in the player's faces too.

I have had free buffet coupons that were going to expire. I offered them to people standing in the buffet line, with no takers. If the first person says no and others hear it, then everyone follows and says no thank you.

Ahhhh yes they finally released 1 of the 4 RESERVED tables to the unwashed masses and I was able to be the first player there and requested SURRENDER before anyone sat down (thus avoiding a vote)
I played through 3 shoes then it got crowded
I was up 2050 at that point
However, the weekend was not done for wagering as I was finally able to print some match play coupons (which totaled 45 so I had them broken down into four 10's and one 5)
I played roulette (the match play limited me to only betting RED)—luckily, I ended up winning 50 (10chips + 10match play twice + 5chips + 5 match play)
Weekend ended +2100

They do that so you can't just bet a $10 match on red and $10 match on black, thus "locking in' a profit 36/38 of the time. Which is stupid because allowing that actually helps the casino by giving it another $10 bet in a negative expectation game.
Casino executives don't really understand how their games work.
All Caesars properties in AC have these restrictions -- You can only bet red, pass, and player.
Borgata does not have such restrictions on match plays in games where you can bet "opposites."

With all do respect that cannot be the reason because you could bet ten plus the match play on red and 15 on black and lock in the same profit-

I don't have one - was just saying the put that but don't really know the reason they do it- for instance most allow you to play it in pai gow but there is commission In that - I think it's to avoid partners ships for the most part- two people both with match play one plays one one plays other side- bit in reality most casinos are clueless- for instance in Philly one casino only pays even money on a black jack using the coupon yet at the same time pays 3-2 on a five cRd 21 using a coupon in Spanish 21
The bet will not be paid- not now not ever
