OT - OT. Yes, Wallace, I like being at the dice table. Emotions of participants and types of bets - risky, conservative, "margined" - and periods of boredom interspersed with tremendous activity and action (just like LR maybe??) very similar to emotions and investment types encountered in the stock market. In other words, imo, a person at the dice table can learn some interesting things about himself/herself and other players as well. Anyway --- I have a very small collection of gambling books.
Regarding Biloxi -- I have tossed dice in Tunica, don't know Biloxi. "Southern Belly" (book came out beginning of 2000 so it should be current) recommends following Biloxi places:
Old Biloxi Schooner, 139 Howard Street (gumbo for lunch)
Mary's Drive-In, 560 Division Street, "for a taste of Gulf Coast po-boys at their best". (Apparently these "Gulf Coast" po-boys use a softer bread than the crust French type of New Orleans.)
Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, 115 First Street

who always plays the pass line and takes full odds (except sometimes at Binions, et. al. where they offer 10:1 and it gets a little confusing), who will put money out for 3 numbers and work his way up to all 6 if numbers are hitting, who drags back something when winning, who never bets more (presses) when he is losing, who is careful in taking out markers, who tries to limit his losses (walk away), who only very infrequently makes place bets on the 6 or 8, who never makes don't pass bets, who only might bet hard six or eight as a tip for the dealers/stickman
-- g-- And isn't this just typical of a betting scheme one would expect from a value player (if such exists at the dice table -g-), or at least somebody who says - as he does about investing - let me see what experts and people who've gone before me say is the best way for the average person to play this game? |
