Staff>>PS: One last thing on the Vegas thing. If you win and they want to comp you a room! This means they watched you play and realize you a hack... they keep you there they get all your money back in more. They watch you play and politly tell you to please leave the casino and never come back.... your a player!!! It's the altimate compliment any casino can ever pay you is to throw you out of their building and ask you to take you playing elsewhere. Think about it next time sombody wants to comp you. Take it but realize your a little fish and they are the sharks... they don't build those castles because people leave winners the majority of the time.<< Cool post. You are right that DT, the super model may have been cheating on this with the bodyguard, but when it comes tgo business the guy is not that dumm. He owns casinos!!! If the bank ties it wins and the extra whole in the roulette (sp? I am not from around here) that is enough to clean most folks up [except the card counters!] Pancho PS: Casino's are for fun not for making money. You burn some money... I nice chick sits next to you...probably you hit it right. But if you are an average guy, you go back home clean, at which point and if you have a rough wife you get a beating on top of hang over headache!!!! ...Unless you are one of those card counters and bring back plenty of dough to make her [your wife] happy. A most uncommon everybody wins situation!] This of course If the chick did not manage to get you to burn it all.] A most uncommon everybody wins situation! Which brings me back to the point casinos are for fun not for making money

Staff, let me share my gambling story. Was in AC playing BJ. Guy next to me gets a Ace/Four. Dealer has an Eight showing. I'm sitting at third base and got a 20 and am happy. Dealer offers a card to the kid with the 5/15, he declines. Dealer asks me,, and I suggest that in the interest of fairness she should offer the kif a card again. After some trivial conversation, she does, he again declines. She turns over the ten and takes his money. Halfway through the next game, he turns to me and says "oh." The point is that the game is tough enough when you are fairly comfortable with the rules, have a discipline, employ proper money management, and, o yes, have a little luck. There are just too many playing the game without a clue and the romantic in me always feels for them. Then, there was the guy that was so drunk that he actually fell over backwards, eventually leaving some $500 lighter. I never feel sorry for the fools. Investing is interesting!! Berney
