He confimed it arrived.

Now that I've paid my debt, I think I've earned the right to discuss "opportunity". Do you want to spend your time in a casino circling Ultimate X machines eyeballing players? How long would it take for security to ask you to leave? Do you want to keep your hands in your pockets waiting for a progressive or for the casino to make a mistake in a mailer? If I walk by a "Must Pay" $1,000 jackpot and the meter is at $999, I may be tempted to take a shot myself. Yes, positive casino opportunities exist. They always will. What does that mean to me? Not much. I make money outside the casino so I can do what I want when I go in.

Phil welcome back, i am shocked jstark accepted the betting payment if he was an honorable person he would decline but enough about that i have to agree with the chinese statement spitting coughing w.o covering mouth while walking via isles. 1 lady said she saw a man socks off clipping his toe nail sittjng on a slot machine, its getting to the point theres more chinese in my casino than chinese in phila china town. I still expect the same good posts from the past from Phil

With only 3 UX machines, I wouldn't even bother much unless I was just taking a break from other activities. Where I'm at, there are well over 100 machines split between 3 easily accessible areas so that's a different story.

Play however you feel.

If you go back to the original thread about that, I DID decline. It was left up to Phil. He decided to make good on it and I'm ok with that. It will be put to good use.

When I'm wrong, I will admit it. Vulturing multipliers is a legitimate one hand at a time positive opportunity. I was looking for an opportunity like those that existed back in 2000. It's my fault for not choosing my words better.

Today's casino operators are not the same. Today's casinos have computers that track everything you do in real time. When they make an error that overly favors players, they know it. They know when you play, what games you play and how you play them. If you win too much or don't lose enough, you will find your comps reduced. If you profit long enough, they will ask you to play somewhere else.

I don't concern myself with these issues. If they cut off all my comps tomorrow, I won't miss much. If I was banned, I would be sad. The casino likes me and I like them as long as I am in control.

Two honorable people in this transaction. Calling it less is not!

A formal welcome back to posting eligibility Phil. I know you have been visiting as an observer so I am sure you are up-to-date on discussions that have taken place these past 6 months. Within the boundaries set by Webman, I for one would appreciate any comments you have to offer on those posts.
