Things I learned on WoV

EvenBob said he hardly reads any threads. I guess it is some kind of numbers game as to the person having the most posts with some of you. However, I read to learn and here is a short recap of what I learned so far!!:

1) Find a sloppy dealer and you can see the hole card and be able to win at blackjack;

2) Always look in the room's safe where the previous person might have left cash, not just condoms;

2-a) Always follow AceofSpades and get the same room as he did;

3) Resorts World is fully on track and doing many things such as planning, restructuring and redesigning, etc., even though there are no cranes on site;

4) You can't win at baccarat and it is a sucker's game.

I am going to be busy now trying to find out how to send some money back to the casinos as I didn't win it and shouldn't have it. Oh never mind, the wife already spent it on a new SUV. Darn!

I also have to get some lollipops from my kid as I play a suckers game so might as well act the part. I wholeheartedly promise you will see a picture of me sucking on a lollipop at the baccarat table next trip.

You must've been that guy on my table a few days ago.

(Dealer and the guy)
"A lollipop sounds good. Can I have a lick?"
"Sure."
"Enjoying it?"
"Yep."
"What flavor is it?"
"Dunno."

So you have a secret for beating baccarat?

Nope, there are no systems. Win and lose. But I learned on here it is a suckers game and you can't win. So now I know I never really won.

EvenBob said he hardly reads any threads. .

That's why it's such a joke when they
say I post in every thread. I block over
90% of them unread. And I can prove
it. If I don't like the title, I click on the
thread and block it. Easy peasy..

The math says that baccarat cannot be beaten. That doesn't mean that someone can't be ahead at some point. Are you ahead? Do you keep records?

If anyone thinks they they can beat the game, whether you call it a system or not, VegasClick.com has a $30,000 challenge saying it can't be done. Michael Bluejay puts his money where his mouth is. Any takers?

The game is random, you can not beat it consistently. The exact same as you can't beat any game at the casino time after time and playing every hand, period. However, I have done very well with it. In the past 10-15 years I have not given back my win money and my win money outsizes my buy-in/bank rolls. Coupled with $5 to $10k of comps I easily get on a trip, I am happy. But I learned, I can't win and I am playing a sucker's game. Maybe I shouldn't read the threads like EvenBob.

I never said I could 'beat' the game. I also know I can't beat hazardous materials but I clean them up for a living. It doesn't phase me when the next person would avoid a spill release scene like the plague. I am rushing towards it and go right in. I don't care, I love it!

I am in the Haz-Mat Spill Clean-Up business. The textbooks cite the chemicals and materials I handle are dangerous and can kill you. But I don't have any problems and I have my own counter measures that I developed and are not contained in any textbook, state regulatory or EPA manuals, guidelines or courses.

I will be at the Tropicana in April. Stop by and watch as I have $10k out there on Players and the Players have 2 monkeys and the Banker has a monkey and a 5. I pull a 6 and my little gold monkey jumps out of my pocket and up on the table. Watch how the dealer pulls one of his brothers for the Banker.

Any yes, my little gold monkey comes along with me to spills. A picture of the little guy is posted in my TR pictures.

There's an Indian guy at a local casino
who is up over $40K at bac for the
last 3 years. That's what a couple guys
in the pit tell me. He's there every day
and bets the max, $1K. He has big
wins and big losses, but always hovers
around the $40K mark. It's not that
much, it's a lousy 40 hands, but he's a
very shrewd player. He had a couple
winning streaks to get so far ahead,
and he really doesn't have bad losing
streaks because he gets mad and leaves
if he's losing. It will catch him some day,
but he's keeping it going for now.

He's funny. He never expresses any
emotion at the table. But if he loses
4-5 hands in a row, he stands up fast,
turns on his heel, and marches out of
the casino.

Okay, I have thought about this one. Now that the work day is over and my mind is a little clearer--I must admit------I have 2 little secrets. 1) My little gold monkey (see picture of him in my TR from Asian New Years trip. 2) 'Magical Dust'. I sprinkle on top of the cards just before I squeeze them when I need to.

Of course you do, it wouldn't matter anyways, im sure 90% of them are not being used. Are you blocking 90% of the active threads?(doubtful) Thats like saying you flush 90% of used toilet paper.
Do somehow block new threads before they are posted?

It's probably easier to just block threads after people abandon them.

Sure glad I read the threads, I have learned my secrets!!

I just looked an it looks like I have about 300 threads blocked and I stopped blocking them a long time ago. I will probably unblock them all.

My point is... you could block probably 97% of the threads and it is meaningless to the activity of a member.

I have over 3500 blocked. The first thing
I do every day is block most threads
related to poker, BJ, craps, slots, and
a myriad of other subjects. You wondered
how I had time to read all the posts here.
I don't see 90% of them, that's how.

I am honored! He is reading my thread. I have to admit, I normally never ever do this. I sprinkled a bit of 'Magical Dust' on my thread! Seriously.

Wait, are you Varmenti?

Damn, nm I saw your picture in that other thread.

I miss varmenti

I have been in the industry for over 40 years but I actually learned a few things here from axel and mickey and a few others regarding the slots. I also re confirmed my beliefs that the internet is full of giant ego's and clueless f***s.

Well said on both counts, sir.
