So much for day trip :)

Honestly, you should never be taking a day trip. Get all the amenities and comps you are due. Day trips are for Granny who wants to run $80 through the nickel slots.

this time she thinks shes ahead. I keep track

Actually, the game is a winner if you're
doing the count correctly. You're just
in a losing phase of it. As we've said
a hundred times, you over bet the crap
out of your BR. If you had the right
BR for the amount you bet, this would
not even be a blip.

It's enormously possible! BJ variance is such a bitch because the swings in either direction can be lengthy.

Honestly, if a loss affects you enough to actually go through with something like a self ban, it's probably the right move.

Saying it on a message board isn't the same thing as doing it though, not even close.

Honestly, your losses are not that high for this trip and your last one. They seem like a lot because your large bets are too high in relation to your BR. A self-ban is admitting you can't control yourself. If you lowered your big bet by half, you could live with that, couldn't you? Maybe all you'd have to give up is the limo. Come on Ace, reality check. Get a grip!

Speaking of the self-exclusion program, I get a story to tell.

"Markus" had been beaten up ad-nauseam-days-in-and-days-out @ a casino. He asked me what to do. I gave him Maria's#. He signed up for the program and quit gambling in AC.

Hey Guys, if you're consistently down on your luck, feel free to call her and take a "1-year-vacation" from AC.

I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

Ace, go over to Kelsey & Kims, get the Chicken and Waffles and a side of their catfish nuggets. Sit, relax with some great soul food. Think positive. The few times I have been there I was down ($$$ wise), after that I came back. Might not be 100% guarantee by any means, but hey---whatcha got to lose??? The place is just east of you and at north of the old Showboat kind of. Go eat, relax, get out of the casino.
