She is good dinner company:tro:

Your woman, Charlize, is on Letterman tonight.

Hey Hossy....FTFY.

I know. She told me yesterday when she came by for a visit.

Why is that statement questionable to you?

Let's say your whole goal is to win $50 to pay for dinner and you have $350 to start with.

If you bet the Pass or Don't Pass -- you have a 49.3% chance of winning.

So -- Bet $50 - if you lose Bet $100 -- if you lose bet $200.

Your chances of losing 3 straight are just 13.03%

Your chances of winning without losing 3 straight are 86.97%.

So... 86.97% of the time you will achieve your goal of winning $50. 13% of the time... you will be exposed as an idiot.

Thus, you can win $50 87% and they still have an edge on you.

Take you woman to the $5 crap table Clyde.

I'd say an outcome to a roll happens about once every 2-minutes.

So -- you'll be betting $150 an hour in handle over the course of 30 rolls ... the house edge is 1.4% so they will get you for $2.10 if the law of AVG's work out.

Think about that ... an hour date that costs just $2.10. Your girlfriend gets to throw dice and make snap judgements on shady people all the while.

Mix in cheap and sometimes free drinks -- and you're getting over.

Do they serve sorbet at the casino?

Well thanks, but somehow it just doesn't send me there.And, believe it or not...I am a Vegas Vet,but every place felt like all the others out there; or any CasinoLand USA.Lots of pretty colors that get killed by the crazy sounds is all it is to me.


If there is no horsey involved or if it isn't 7 card stud among people I hate,I lose interest fast.

Do you...........

I find walking up to a stern faced blackjack dealer much more intimidating. Craps is the only thing I play in a casino.

It very easy to get lost and be intimidated at the crap table, just because the amount of bets that there are. Also the fact that you have to shout out your bets might not work for someone who is the shy type (especially if you have no clue).
As far as Blackjack goes, it's not the dealer you have to worry about, it's the other players. If you do something stupid, that's who you are going to hear it from.

If you play max odds you do not need to do the increase at double rate, the payout odds will take care of the losses and the come pays take care of the craps.
My goal is to play, play and enjoy myself. Sometimes things go well but for the most part my goal is to leave with a few bucks and a few cocktails on the house (casinos have started getting proper beers from Colorado now). The way I play facilitates that, unless you go and try or have (but if you have you would not be questioning)it exactly as I do you should not question my success. I have not made myself rich by playing craps, but I have eaten fairly well in Vegas.
