Bizarro World 2023

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Yes, but I just can’t play flat betting JOB. I either fall asleep or get so bored I don’t want to play it at all. I like to keep my mind spinning most of the time and hopefully avoid Dementia.

Maybe we covered this already, but I'm surprised you don't play online. In Connecticut, you have both sportsbook and casino options.

Nope. Bad enough I go up there several times a week. Also I doubt they would have the correct paytable and flexibility of paytables and denominations for my Clone method.

We got enough current trouble. No need to seek out more.

That's fine, it's just that I get a vibe of "I don't want to try anything new" -- which seems at odds with a goal of keeping one's mind sharp.

Ignore me if I'm being annoying. Everyone else does.

Fwiw, here in the desert I think I'm blocked from previewing any of the games. I fail the location check. It's possible they require an account to look at anything.

Need a thick skin in life. I have one. I have to sign into this site before I can get into it anymore. It took me years to get rid of my flip phone. I love old stuff.

I love information, although I think I have a natural ineptitude for technology.

Two decades ago, I played dozens of online casinos, poker rooms and sportsbooks. That was my favorite era of gambling. So, so, so convenient. The poker boom went supernova with Chris Moneymaker's 2003 win, but disaster came in 2006 when our friends in the federal government shut everything down pretty much.

Used to go to Radio Shack all the time and test the tubes. From the radios too. No transistor radios till 1954, but not for me till 1960. My first one was 2 transistor. Before that I had a crystal radio. I also made a radio from scratch. I could tell the gang how to do it if anyone is ever interested.

I have similar memories. Got my first transistor radio in the late 1950s. Later on I got an 8 Transistor radio that became a prized possession. I also built a radio for a high school project from scratch. Got my parts from the myriad of electronic shops in lower Manhattan. No way I can build one today as my memory is a lot worse than yours Olds. AS an aside, all those shops disappeared when the area was cleared to build the twin towers. Please excuse my diverting from Bizarre World but couldn't pass the opportunity to empathize.
