Isn't Winning Exit Casino a Native American operated casino in Oklahoma?

After even more chest pounding about how he skirts the system, how could any reader not believe his tax returns go through pass after pass until he thinks he's getting an advantage by filing it? I just read a past article he wrote boasting about stealing breakfast at some motel. What is it that we're suppose to be learning from him, how to be dishonest? Is that what those classes are about?

I've mentioned this a good amount of times which possibly gets overlooked/ignored. Mastering the playing strategies in the game of video poker is only half of the overall picture. The products and services that Mr. Dancer sells and provides does meet that expectation. Since most people are recreational gamblers and play negative expectation games, the best that can be done is to minimize losses per gambling trip/vacation.

The other half of the picture is to exploit the casinos in various angles as well as doing underhanded things (some people hold themselves to a high integrity may think differently). Mr. Dancer has exposed a few ideas to us, which is to analyze promotions, selling promotional gifts on eBay, and working the comp system (the average gambler still does not know such a thing as a casino host). At that point, it is to each person's own to figure out their own ways.

Also the professional gamblers on the Gambling With An Edge describe the reasoning for using a pen name (e.g. the sports betting and blackjack expert Stanford Wong) to help evade themselves from identified as a big winner time to time. Not sure if many players want to be identified with a pen name for the sake of gambling.

Just about everyone plays the negative games these days because that's mostly what's left. I agree one must be creative beyond normal if one desires to only play on the positive side of the ledger. That's surely not me because I go, I enjoy myself and hope to win, then I get home and it's back to work and my regular life. Like most folks.

If Bob Dancer wants to spend his time looking for theoretical edges, good for him. But what I don't care to read about is his stealing food, impersonating a military veteran for his own gain, ways around systems that he isn't sure is cheating or not, and so on. We don't need to know those things and they certainly do not do anything for our gambling results.

If it's educational I'm all ears. If it's bragging about being able to pull one over on the next guy with impunity, I'm all fists.

There is a product that is even more extreme than this idea. A lockable version.
