Last week we learned where to get Vegas Aces t-shirts, but where do we get Wizard merchandise? I want a Wizard of Vegas t-shirt and a Wizard of Odds coffee mug.
If you're playing in a casino and you notice another player at the table is cheating in such a way that it does not effect your game, what would you do?

Eh? You mean there's only 20 shirts in the world sporting a "Wizard of Odds" logo? Wow. You don't want to dribble chili down on one of those.

I have a Wizard of Odds polo shirt that I have never worn. If I can find it in the closet I would gladly give it to someone that wants it.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Very generous of you!
I must say that because of its rarity, the shirt sounds appealing!
(I hope we don’t get a flood of knock-off WoV shirts!)

You once said that you put in an offer to buy a slot machine, but the deal fell through. To some, a pinball machine or slot machine in the home is more than just an amusement device—it’s a piece of history and art. What are your personal pros and cons of owning a slot machine or video poker machine?

question for Heather:
the guy who you saw lose a million dollars or more doing the martingale, what fouled him up ? was it:
* that he ran up against the house limit for bet size?
* that he just ran out of money and couldn't double his bet again?
or
* that he chickened out and wouldn't make the last huge bet?

question for the Wizard,
I believe you have said that you started going to casinos when pretty young. Did you realize at some point you had bought into some things you heard from dealers or other players that were fallacies, or were you wise to all that even at first?

Question for Wizard,
As a license plate collector how many famous cars (or even not so famous) from TV shows (not movies), can you name what was on the license plate whether front or back without looking it up? Or if it even had a plate.

Certainly you've got something to talk about next time with the Labouchere video. My question is, considering that it is just a way of betting more when you are losing with a profit goal too, and that the goal could be reached more haphazardly if less neatly and precisely, do you still find the mathematical aspect of it interesting on its own?

Question for Wizard
2 parts
1) if you bet on the NBA champion this season but they don't play out the rest of the year, is the bet nullified and would the casino have to refund those bets?
2) I saw a Dr. Fauchi comment regarding NFL player testing. His suggestion is they test every Saturday and only players that test negative can play on Sunday. Can casino give odds on a game where say, Aaron Rogers is going to play on Friday and the odds are whatever, but then he tests positive on Saturday so he can't play. That would dramatically affect the odds. How would a casino handle that? Would they just adjust the oods, or would they even be able to take any bets if that was the protocol?

Classic rock is usually blasted in the casinos I find myself in nowadays. If you ran a casino, what type of music would play?
What do you enjoy contemplating more, the math for big things like black holes, the expansion of the universe and the speed of light, or the math for small things like the bizarre behavior of subatomic particles?

Angela is the only person I "know" who has gotten the virus. I put "know" in quotation marks because of course I don't really know her, but at least I know who she is and what she looks like. Any others I have so little connection to it just doesn't really count at all, like Soopoo's relatives, the nice people I'm sure they are. Only knowing someone because they were famous doesn't count either. And I have to tell you anybody around here I ask pretty much says the same thing, they all say they don't know any person, relatives or otherwise, who has gotten the virus. I think it really shows how rural areas have had a totally different experience from populated areas.
Congratulations for beating this, Angela, you and the Wizard both might comment on this.
I'm sure the Wizard already plans to ask you to tell us how you got it.

On a previous AMA, the discussion as I remember turned to players who would team up to play both the red and black sides simultaneously in roulette, or the pass and don't-pass in Craps. I tried to find this again but gave up. I don't remember too much how that went till right at the end, and you surprised me with what you said. So that leads to this
Question: Previously on an AMA you suggested that players teaming up to, say, play both red and black simultaneously in roulette were often APs, and that if you were the casino you'd be glad to be rid of them*. What were you getting at, can you expand on that?
* or words to that effect ~ as I remember

My question is regarding to playing conditions. Due to fewer players being allowed at table games, have you noticed different playing conditions i.e. are they catering towards bringing players back with better rules, lower minimums etc. Or are they making up the lower capacity by increasing minimums and offering worse rules like maybe 6/5 at higher minimums etc or are the rules and minimums consistent with norms before the shutdown

Due to the virus, do you think it's time to banish chips and checks from casinos and switch to some sort of hands free tech?
