I was told by a friend this was a good site for serious gambling discussions. I live on the East Coast, and visit many different casinos over here. I know this place is about Vegas, but assume casinos are casinos for the most part.

I have been looking around here and reading current posts. I can't seem to locate where serious conversations about casinos and where good plays may be taking place, especially on the east coast if these even exist here. Can someone help and direct me to the correct forum?

It would be the fool to publicize any good play, to see it burned out super fast.

I hope you don't expect discussion about the best AP plays, the ones that are vulnerable ... where are you going to get that?

Good things about the East scene include

*PA and [I think] MD mandated good BJ rules, check it out

*10x craps offered in many casinos and seems to be spreading, even 100x at Horseshoe Baltimore

*great schools of fish swimming at Maryland Live poker room, this according to an article in The Atlantic magazine

*more competition coming in MD

There's only one good play I know of, and it's one the casinos are happy to be talked about:

In Atlantic City, toke bets that pay fractional amounts will be rounded up. Therefore $1 place bets on 5, 6, 8 and 9 will pay $2, where they'd pay $1 elsewhere.

Loose lips sink ships. We can talk about rules or house edge to get started but anything else is not going to be readily shared. Keep posting and maybe those lips will loosen once it's established that you're not a casino executive. Nothing personal but this is a great concern on forums like this. Don't be a stranger.

Not at all, cautious is more like it. Ask a specific question and I'll give you the best answer I have or steer you to a place to get it. I can answer blackjack questions and I am familiar with casinos in your area.

Yes, you are good! Really. No, really.

Did you have anyone particular in mind? I thought it might be one of our clever bac guys. I really wanted Really to post some more so I could try to figure out who it was. That's why I tried to use the "catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" approach but Really wouldn't bite.

I really like the name Really. Too bad he can't use it the next time he comes back and, yes, he can return any time he chooses. He was a perfect gentleman and, call me weird, I enjoy it when people return to say hello.

I wonder how many active multiple accounts we have here.

I suppose there can be a certain amount of grudging admiration they can get out of me in certain cases of this. Plus I don't really "get into it" with trolls, so there's no wear and tear on my temper.

It's a little similar perhaps to [begrudgingly again] acknowledging a good practical joke.

In this case, busted too quickly as a phony, so I myself give Mr. Really poor marks.

It's no secret. I have fun with it =)

I think I peg most. I "know" there's some here now. I admittedly failed on Really.

There's a difference between knowing it's a returning banned member, and being able to prove it. I'm not going into what mistake Really made that crossed that line, but the line was crossed. There are several other folks who have not crossed that line, and have kept themselves civil while contributing, so it hasn't been pursued as it could be. As I've said before, it's not a black-and-white thing to moderate this forum; there's a lot of value in shades of grey and evaluating things case by case.

No, I'm saying there has to be proof of some sort before I'll ban someone that they're a previously banned member, not just speculation by other members. That's the line.
