When you do videos you keep talking. You don't want dead air.
Yours taking everything Vic says seriously. Don't.
It is his schtick. It is his act. It is his on camera persona.
If you don't understand that listen to the brief comments he makes to those who are there watching at the EC. Listen to the one liners when he thanks people for super chats.
His "breakdowns" really aren't breakdowns. Its the act.
Of course you'd love it that he would break down for real.
He won't because the money is too good.
Enjoy the show.

Of all the charitable causes one could support, why donate to someone who exhibits symptoms of problem gambling for purposes of enabling him to continue gambling money away? Perhaps some of his donors are also problem gamblers who find that being vicariously involved in his action fulfills their urge to gamble without having to risk losing thousands themselves at a casino.
Quote: JackSpadeHe's gambling with a tremendous edge considering his patreon and superchat donations plus any special considerations from El Cortez. When he loses thousands in a session, he's probably not coming out ahead though.

According to this website that supposedly tracks this kind of thing, they're making a few hundred dollars per video.
No idea how accurate that is, though.

Exactly. And how many videos per week?
Then add in their other income from merchandise, memberships, super chats and all the other crap.
Then add in the great untalked about... what they get from EC either in promotional money or loss rebates or flat out pay for youtubing from the EC.
Dont forget basic comps and cashback even if they're not paid upfront by the casino.
And what I'm talking about isn't crazy. Who is the Youtuber with a deal with a slot machine maker and cruise lines?

It's not the potential business aspects talk that people think is crazy. It's the thinking his whining and flipping out is an act. You seem to be a super fan which is fine. You can believe what you want but the rest of us aren't buying it.
I suspect work visas which means someone employed them, and I'd guess that is the El Cortez as marketing. Why the Cortez though actually wants his sour puss attitude associated with them, no idea.

Is it possible they have been hired as shills at this point and using house money? FYI from what I have been told by casino management and by a paid prop player(not sure if it's true) a shill must identify themselves as a shill if asked while shilling.
I have been offered to be paid as a poker prop player at 3 different casinos. Not sure if a shill and prop player would be held to the same rules.

It is an interesting question.
I'm not sure if the standard would apply.
If I sat down across from a prop player, if they win, I lose.
I am not sure that another player at a UTH table can make my hand lose. (There is an exception to this, but it involves aggregate payout caps, dilution, and replacing "lose" with "win less".)
Their videos are done at private tables. They don't do group pulls.
I think they have an arrangement where they get loss rebates and promotion money for doing their Youtubing at the EC.
The same way you and I might get show up money once a week or once a month... they get show up money more frequently. Maybe even every time they play.
Remember that one of the Vegas TV stations a year or so ago interviewed an EC manager who said their channel was bringing in players.
It appears Brian Christopher is way ahead of them. He has his own branded slot machines, a Brian Christopher slot area at the Plaza, and he "hosts" gaming cruises on Carnival including an upcoming New Years Eve cruise.
Also remember that a month or so ago Slotmassacre did a couple of videos asking for a casino to sponsor him.
John's World of Video Poker is also fishing for sponsorships with his video "travelogues" of the casinos he's playing at.
THIS IS THE NEW WAY TO MAKE MONEY.

He didn’t seem as angry as usual, but more depressed.
But does that mean he's not collecting a loss rebate or is paid money on some sort of appearance contract?
Why doesn't someone as about that kind of stuff? With a good enough rebate and a proper strategy, he would certainly be able to overcome the HA. Variance becomes your friend.Quote: AlanMendelsonHe said tonight he uses his own money to gamble. He said it's not EC money.

I don't think his viewers know to ask about things like loss rebates or promo money or show up money.
The only question I've ever seen asked is "is that your money?"
Vic and Sarah instead of saying just yes add the detail that EC doesn't contribute. But no more specific info is asked.
Sarah is a member of this forum. Perhaps she'd like to comment?
However I also respect that any side deals may be private and confidential.
Quote: ThisIsMyJamThey'd never answer any of these questions with any answer other than it's their money. Vic hasn't tried to avoid outright saying it's his money as Alan implies above. People have asked more detailed questions and all they get back in return is either a snarky comment or that it's their money.

I would respect it if they just said something along the lines of. Yes, we have a deal with the casino(s) that gives us lots of extra value, value that the average person doesn't get. It's a confidential deal with the casino and we are unwilling to/can't discuss the details.Quote: AlanMendelsonQuote: AxelWolf
However I also respect that any side deals may be private and confidential.
However, even with the deal in place, losing and winning greatly affects our bottom line, as WE ARE RISKING OUR OWN MONEY.
Quote: calwatchStill, I can't imagine it's good business for EC to watch people play badly and lose money. You want to encourage winning sessions so other people who don't play as well can come and lose, and the way to winning sessions is by playing proper strategy. Sure, bet the side bets (I'm sure there may be a provision in the loss rebate to return a portion of that, which would otherwise have a massive house edge), but in the base game play like you know what you're doing. Given he has played for hundreds of hours he should know what he is doing.

What is a good reason a casino would want the deal advertised to anyone? I couldn’t think of a good reason, just reasons.

Correct.
I don't think any casino would want a loss rebate or promo money deal publicized.
You can't expect any player to reveal it if they were actively playing at the casino.
If I'm watching a slot channel or whatever, I don't care where the money comes from. I don't care if it's 100% the player's money, or 100% the casino's money, or some combination of the two. I don't care if the player has a deal with the casino, or if they are straight up an employee. I watch stuff like that because it's a vicarious thrill. Since I'm not playing, the money is irrelevant. I've watched Baccarat videos on Youtube where they aren't even playing for real money at all; it's just a home game and they're playing with poker chips you can buy online.
I watch videos like that because I want to see the game being played; I don't care about any finances going on behind the scenes, and I can't fathom why anyone else cares.
Quote: TigerWuI don't understand the logic of why anyone would hide anything like that or even care.
link to original post
Probably casinos that care. Could be bad pub rather than the good they usually get from streams to blatantly publicize that players don’t get comparable treatment and the same offers are likely not available to the viewer/potential customer.
Anyways, seems several of the posters in this thread are hate watching the streams….why?

I could be wrong about people wanting to know what is authentic about a situation, vs hype or manufactured.. You might not be interested, but other people might.
Watching people throw away thousands of dollars away vs not really throwing thousands away. I don’t know anyone who likes finding out the orgasm was faked.
For the record. (I doubt you directed that at me) I am not love or hate watching any of the videos. I haven't watched much at all just enough to get the gist of what's going on.Quote: mcallister3200Quote: TigerWuI don't understand the logic of why anyone would hide anything like that or even care.

He's the typical compulsive degen who thinks he's "one more hand" from the Big One and keeps playing til he loses every chip in front of him. He'd rather run down to his last chip and hit a Monster hand to break even, then win the first 4 hands and go up a decent but small profit!

A few months after I went AP full-time, Prim/State line basically had unlimited $5 match plays. You had to move to all the different games and tables and from casino to casino. I was only betting $5 a hand but the value ("free money") added up quickly. That was much more enjoyable than playing FPWD all day long.
Quote: AxelWolfIf I feel I have a good enough advantage with a high probability of winning there are no limits other than my entire net worth as to what I'm willing to bet. I have played $1200 a spin on slots, I actually lost a little on that play ): Ill play 1 penny a spin if the earn is there.
Interesting statement which I have difficulty wrapping my head around. Can you provide a scenario or example of "enough advantage with a high probability of winning" looks like? Can you define "high probability" as in percentage?

What about a 51% chance to triple your net worth? Maybe not if you were comfortably retired and had no prospects for ever recovering from a total loss. But if you're young and gainfully employed and your future earnings expectations are high relative your current net worth, then you probably should take the chance.
