He got busted with 1 naked 15 year old high on drugs and a 16 year old also at his residence. With his money I feel if he had to take a plea, he was guilty as hell. Damn, and I really liked the song Desperado.

It was in 1980 so I doubt he's still on probation.

I will judge him differently depending on if they were girls or boys he was caught with.

Sat down to play and hit a bad run at first - lost 300 first shoe
second shoe got the 300 back
third shoe had a 300bet up dealt 8,8 v dealer 5
split got another 8 (of course) - my hands ended up being
8,10 8,6 8,9
dealer has 6 flips a 9 hole card then draws an Ace then draws a 3
there went the 800 i was up plus 100
switched tables to play with some people I know-up and doen down and up
had a double down on 6,5 v dealer 9
of course I drew an Ace and dealer had 19
down 300
a few hands later I had 200 up dealt Ace, Ace v dealer 8 so I split
my hands: Ace, 7 Ace, Ace
Dealer turns over an 18 so I pushed one hand lost one hand
down 500
moments later the dealer got 2 blackjacks in a row
then I pushed 2 hands in a row
Ithen got a natural bj with 200bet
So, had to leave to pick up the concert tix

Concert review:
Don Henley opened with Dirty Laundry and played most of his hits - he even threw in a few cover songs
one country song I did not recognize
a Leanord Cohen song (Everybody Knows) which he sped up
Everybody wants to rule the World by Tears for Fears
Boys of Summer followed by All She Wants to Do is Dance were the last songs of the main set
Encore: Hotel California followed by Desperado
Excellent show (although he only sang and played guitar - didn't play drums)

Sat down same table as earlier with a couple of the same cast of characters
Played one shoe - up and down then towards the end the cards treated me nicely
I was getting tired but managed to hit 3 double downs
Time for bed

My buddy is at Revel; he tried to scalp his other Henley ticket (got two comped). Not sure if he succeeded. He's still living large off my play from July! (He plays through the freeplay they give him a couple times just to get a little rating activity).

Yup....sometime after 3 am loud sirens and flashing lights went off on the entire casino floor, accompanied by an announcement to evacuate immediately. The alarm lasted ten minutes. My friend ran out the exit but most people kept gambling

OK started the morning +800
Session #1:
Played in high limit room
began with a blackjack YAY
then it all went downhill - lost 3 hands in a row, then pushed 2 hands, then lost 2 hands
got a little back on a rare double down win Ace, 6 v. dealer 6
I actually drew a 4 for 21 and dealer ended up pulling 6, 3, 5, 5
shoe ended -800
Session #2:
Pit 1
dealer pulled 6 blackjacks in the first shoe to my 3 so not too bad
next shoe, started off with a nice double down chance with 200up 7,4 v dealer 4
I was dealt 7,4, 2 dealer had 4, Q, 3 UGHHHH!!!
things then went really bad then and I was down to my last 400
put up 200 to start the shoe, hit a double and then came all the way back WOOHOO
shoe ended +200
Session #3:
Pit 2
-First shoe here was horrific - the dealer made 21 ten times (with only 3 of those being
natural blackjacks)
-needless to say, I was hoping things would get better
-Midway through second shoe was a dealer break/switch
-This was also when the lady and gentleman at the table decided they would play
two hands each, then pull one hand back then put another in
-This was also the time when the gentleman decided he would "change the cards" by
not hitting 12's against 2's and staying on all 15's (but he would still hit 16 per basic strategy)
-it was certainly interesting
around about the 4th shoe I was down about 700
however, the <gulp> SPEED COUNT got good FINALLY and I ended up hitting some Blackjacks
and some double downs and not only getting the 700 back I was down, but being up 500
at that point the shoe ended and I was getting hungry, so, now it is off to dinner
Trip is now +500

I'm following your action, waiting for the big shoe. +$500 for the trip is good and all, but with all due respect, I did +$500 on Video Keno just this morning in about one-and-a-half hours. I'm finally back in the good for the year...

HAHA Bob - there have been no chances to press - I think winning two hands in a row has been the max this trip.
Very hard to press it up in those circumstances - but, from your lips...!

Thanks! I had $20 in the machine, just screwing around, betting $0.25/card and then I got down to $2.00. I decided to just play a Max Bet of $2.00/card. I ended up hitting 7/10 for 779 credits (straight up hit, no multiplier, Caveman Keno) which put me at $194.75. Anyway, I decided to play up or down until I reached a multiple of $50.00 and ended up hitting 7/10 (straight up) two more times during the session. 7/10 for $779 with the 4x Multiplier or for $1,947.50 with the 10x would have been nice for a single hit, but I'm not complaining.
This was at the cafe nearest the Suspension Bridge on Wheeling Island, forget the name of it.
