Bizarro World 2023

Olds and I are not hallucinating.

You shouldn't drag olds into this. His dubious assertions are backed up by hundreds of hours of hands-on observation.

Whereas you can detect from 20 minutes of play that an entire casino is in takedown mode.

More like 200, on a consistent pattern of visits. But hey, I certainly look forward to putting this crap show in my rear view mirror. Enjoy the outsize losses associated with your high level card status.

A brain stem in a jar could beat Caesars when playing only to the 150k Seven Stars minimum tier level.

It's more difficult to beat them beyond 150k. That's why I mentioned elsewhere that I may stop at 150 or 250 this year. But I'm confident there are smarter APs than me taking away big money.

I can't guarantee every Caesars casino is beatable, but I believe most jurisdictions have something playable whether it's b&m or online, casino or sports.

FAA may be on to something. He short coins when he knows he is fighting the casino's screw the patrons clock. All of those short coin 4oak pictures that he posts here could be evidence of that. Why else would he be proud of getting paid 75 quarters instead of 125 quarters?

Some nights when nobody wins, you can hear the slot attendants and servers grumbling since that means no or very poor tips. One server I have known for over 20 years just clocks out and goes home when it gets like that. She said it just doesn’t change once it gets like that. If anyone knows this stuff, it is those folks.

Whenever I'm stuck with an error in my risk of ruin calculations, the first person I seek out is a career cocktail waitress.

Funny, you said that. This one particular gal and her husband are very Savy with the market and we trade market tips and stories all the time. They live just a stone’s throw from the casino. She does very well at Bizarro tip wise overall. If you ask her, who has the latest highest bank or broker CD rate, she will know and the current rate. Heeeee. By the way, Fidelity is 5.1 for a year. Off its recent 5.4 high. Speaking of banks and their current troubles and off topic a bit, I guess my local bank noticed the outflows from our account and probably knew where the electronic transfers were going. I got a call from a bank executive and he asked what they were doing wrong? I said pretty simple. When you are paying next to nothing interest wise on checking and savings and have .5 percent CDs instead of 5, you are going to continue to bleed and may even get a run on your bank. Next day I got a phone call. They matched where I was going. I threw them a bone for convenience with a follow up comment, a bit late to the plate don’t you think? I also noticed the following day they took out a big ad offering decent, but not great CD rates. No wonder these banks nationwide are in trouble and it is much more complicated than this including their investments and poor credit risks they take on. Just overall bad management. Now they have the additional problem of vacant office buildings they are involved with in one way or the other.

She probably gets a nice supplement from her off-duty gambling winnings.

Wouldn’t be surprised since Foxwoods is ten minutes from their house. But in reality, at least from what I have found and who I know, at least in Ct, it is difficult if not impossible except in the short run.

If they still can't beat the games despite decades of experience, I would worry that maybe their experience isn't very relevant toward the task.
