A)A few people can potentially split up $2000 over a few days and it's worthwhile.
B)8000 people potentially pick twenty-five cents over a few days, that's probably not worth it especially if you were to include the costs of picking it up.

I would argue B.
If someone has no connections or network, then posting it on a public forum rather than seeing the opportunity die is preferable in my opinion. Assuming the information was obtained on their own and there were no conditions when they received the information, it is their business whether or not they want to share. I hate it when advantage players try to shame people who find things out on their own from sharing openly. No one is entitled to play at an advantage. If you can make it, great, but don't cry when it goes away. Find another advantage elsewhere and keep it to yourself then.

Now, if a play was shared with someone in confidence then it would not be appropriate to broadcast it openly, but I find promotions that I can't take advantage of that may be +EV at my local casinos and, if it seems that people can take advantage of them, I will broadcast them on this forum, which is fine.

This is settled law here at WoV. Mike has made it clear that outing these plays is approved behavior here. He himself has been doing around a monthly ‘reveal’ of a slot play.

I am an example of someone who ONLY because of this forum now makes a little $$ on some of these slot plays. That is basically why this forum was started!

Yea I agree. These things aren’t that easy to figure out on your own, or at least I don’t have the time or inclination.

Vicksburg and that whole area of Mississippi have nobody working it. Except Biloxi has the Asians in the Buffalo room.

Sorry I’m trying to help out others.

This is simply factually incorrect, just because you didn’t happen to see it while you were there doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I’m not going to debate back and forth with you if it’s true you were there, but I have firsthand knowledge it’s not. Biloxi comments are way, way off.

It is true that this is settled policy on this forum as SooPoo pointed out, and it is also true that many or most AP’s that participated years ago either chose to leave, not actively participate or were run off as a result, depending on your interpretation of all of it.

The run off interpretation would be it was the exodus was knowingly and willingly caused. There’s a very vague rule here (they most are) about controversial topics off limit, and when we had what by response happened to be the most controversial thread I’ve ever seen on this forum, it was sanctioned by the person creating that rule. Huh?

Trying to change anyone’s mind on the subject is a fools errand and a lesson in accepting things you can’t change imo, some will change their mind with experience but no one is changing it for them.

Vicksburg Mississippi, Tunica, and to a lesser extent Biloxi have some of the best slot AP opportunities. There’s no AP slot players in Vicksburg. They have hexbreaker, and there are great opportunities on cash falls, piggies, you’re competing with nobody.

I have been to all three of these cities. I consider Vicksburg and Tunica to be too remote to attract fly-in players and I haven't gone there in five years.. If you are already local, you already know the scene. Otherwise, how does this help? I have been to Biloxi more often recently and I think it is laughable that you think there is no competition for slot plays. NOLA is better than Biloxi due to the surplus of drunk tourists leaving games.

Why not mention also Mardi Gras Casino in Cross Lanes, WV? I am sure many of us will be flying there tomorrow.

If it was all currently true, with something easy that’s any good, by the time someone gets there it will no longer be true or will no longer be true in a matter of days.

So yes, it really isn’t even helpful if trying to help in that sense. It seems like this wasn’t as true to the extent it is today in early forum days.

{Heavily truncated}


My personal understanding of the rule is that controversial topics not directly related to the forum's core of gambling, math, and Vegas are to be avoided.

My official understanding can accept correction as needed.

My unrelated understanding is that most of the moderators can hold two or more simultaneous contrary opinions on many subjects.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Not so fast buco. IIRC Mike was not on board with some aspects. I can't remember his wording on the exact timeframe, or circumstances, but something along the lines of not outing plays that will cause Advadage Players(or members here) financial harm. Something like that. DarkOz might remember.

If there is enough money to be made I think many of us will go there.

An anonymous source clued me in on something that might lead to some insight as to what's going on here.

Colin from BJA may have interviewed the OP and someone else regarding some backroomings and settlements. This may be a ... let's punish casinos for their transgressions situation.

I will let people do their own research investigation if they care to do so.
