Two more videos are ready. Remember, these were all shot at the same time, so you don't need to repeat any past criticisms. I know the production quality is terrible. I'm more interested in comments on the content.

Gambling FAQ. I think this was the last video we did, that focuses on general gambling questions that were not addressed in any of the other videos on specific games.

Slot Machine FAQ. Slots make up about half of casino revenue, so I felt I should have at least one video addressing them. I look so short in this one.

Angela is pretty smart with the way she comes up with those questions one right after another.

I like the Carl Sagan quote.

Most of those questions she asked me between videos. Eventually she asked so many good questions that I made a spur of the moment decision to make these additional two videos for them. Some questions were also suggested by me. However, you'll notice neither video had any cuts -- they were both done entirely on the first take. Let's see Steven Spielberg say that.

Curious...neither of you can stand still...is that the "cuts" in the video making you "appear" to be jumpy...?
EDIT: Nevermind..no cuts...maybe I'm just not a human and movement is not in my programming.

I liked them. You might want to change the category that all your videos are in. "Autos & Vehicles" is the default if you don't choose one. Waiting patiently for your Hexbreaker analysis.

Pretty good. Angela can glance at you from time to time but eye contact should indeed be with the camera.

I thought you were a bit "wishy washy" on the slot machine video. Now I know you've designed slot machines and been hired by casinos so you may not want to antagonize either side on the issue but your response did seem a bit too generalized.

Your statement that a One Dollar Slot Player Gets Comped Better Than a 100 Dollar BJ Player seems excessive, I know the drinks come faster at the slots but surely not even ten times faster. Are you adding drinks, rooms, rebates, etc. to get to that "Better Treatment" statement?

I admit that I look like I'm on speed, but I think Angela is just fine.

Thanks, I didn't know I was supposed to choose a category. I'll look into that. The Hexbreaker analysis is coming along more slowly than expected. The first 12 minute video didn't have enough spins, so I went back and did 25 more minutes over two videos. Now I'm waiting on my brother in law to enter the symbol combinations for the second one, which should be enough.

I just subscribed to your channel. I haven't watched the 2 videos above yet but when I get a chance I'll watch them and all the ones in your channel. :)

Gambling FAQ video removed by user? Is this true? When and why, or is it just me.

(edit) Nope, it's just me. The link is incorrect, I believe, as I can access the video from the Wizard's YouTube page.

I didn't like the last minute of it, so I had it cut out. As far as I know, you can't replace a video on YouTube and keep the URL. You have to delete the old one and declare a new one. You can find good links to all the finished videos at wizardofodds.com/video/.

Yes, that is how I did, indeed, view the video. Not being YouTube savvy (I don't post up there) I just figured you could replace the link. No worries. I took a quick view via your YouTube site. Much appreciated.
