Thank you. I endured 5min of a PG game
a few years ago and got angry just watching.
I'm sorry, but that's one screwy game.

RS, you in this round (tiles)?
Nah, I'll stick out a round.
Ok.
* Next Hand *
Ok I'll play. Can I bank or do I gotta do the weird player thingie?
You gotta bet player.
Ok.
* Next hand *
Oh wait, I can bank now, right?
Yeah, but you're banking against DJTeddyBear and teddys.
Sure, I'll do it. Why not.
* Teddys gets his tiles, sets them. * - You're going down, RS. I have an awesome hand.
Dealer: "Yeah, it's good."
DJTeddyBear sets his hand...also a good hand.
I get my hand, show it to the dealer, "You have an awesome hand [RS]."
Not sure what happened exactly, but teddys and DJTeddyBear both pushed, and I somehow ended up winning. Huh.

Here are a couple pictures from the get together. Click on any image for a larger version. The one with the menu over his face is RS, who is also unseen towards the other end of the table. Earlier in the evening we had a few more members but they had to duck out early.
This is Miplet doing 25 push-ups he owed from a long time ago. To be honest, I forgot what he owed them for, but a debt is a debt.

Oops it was 25. I thought it was 20. I'll do the other 5 next year. post from June

Actually you did 21 push-ups.
Instead of owing 4 more push-ups, let's make a bet. We'll go hang out at the craps table. Every time a 2-2 is rolled, I'll pay you $600. Every time a 2-X (or X-2) [where X is a non-2 die], you pay me $100. We'll do it for a few hours. If you agree, I'll do the 4 pushups for you.
I did go to the Wizard and wanted to make a bet I could control the dice, trying to avoid sevens. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the math in my head quick enough to make a +EV bet for myself. I was thinking something like "I get 19 rolls of the dice, expected # of sevens is 3.166. If I can roll less than 3.166 sevens, he'll pay me. If I roll more than 3.166 sevens, I'll pay him."

Is the $600 written in hexadecimal and the $100 written in decimal?

Good question. No. They are both written in base-10.

Yes, we forgot to follow up on that. If you're still around, I will book a "no seven" bet where you will have to lay 5.2 to 1.
To break even, you'll need only to have a rolls to sevens ratio of 6.2 or higher.

If anyone is still lingering around, I'll probably come out to downtown LV Thursday evening. Anybody up for doing something?

Looks like the out-of-towners must have left. I'd be up for craps or blackjack. Heck, even the SlotZilla zipline. You wouldn't have to worry about closing your eyes or screaming ;-)
