US Open tennis starts next week which will be the Serena "Water Buffalo" Williams retirement tournament. Gonna bet her LARGE 1st round and keep rolling it over till at least Rd 4. She will be pushed through the early rounds harder than Slater will be in the Outerknown Pro. I also like Bianca Andreescu to go deep in Flushing Meadows. Men's side is always a crap shoot but usually gets easier to figure out come Rd 4.
I agree about the push but would be worried the Water Buffalo pulls up lame/is forced to withdraw with an injury prior to Round 4.
After 1000 deals with the blackjack strategy app I’m playing perfect 80% of the time having glanced at the charts. Didnt need the books for the charts or counting systems that info is free on the inter webs. What’s been fascinating/invaluable? are the stories and advice on how not to get 86d and how to look out for crooked dealers.
Might have to find some action locally soon to get used to playing for money before heading to Vegas once it’s not so wicked hot there.

When I was living in Cap. Fed. Arg. I had a friend who was a gambling addict.
I would go with him to the casino many nights a week.
I played Blackjack.
I made a lot of $$$ simply by playing 2 rounds, and if I lost both, I'd quit playing for the night. Then I would just people watch, which is great at the casino.
If I was on a streak I'd keep playing of course but never allow more than a 2 round loss, unless I was way way up I'd allow a 3 round loss.
You have to be willing to stop playing very early. You have to play the winning streaks and never play the losing streak. To play profitably this is really the only way to play, otherwise you're pretty much always going to be at a net loss.
As the old saying goes "Las Vegas wasn't built by winners...it was built by losers."

Craps to me is hands down the shiite. One thing I have found out over the years, and I did not believe this was a truth in the beginning, but there is no hot/cold game in the casino like craps. When it is fire, it is fire. Hardways, point upon point, you name it. But when it goes cold, icicles. But there is no action in a casino like the craps table, especially the high roller tables.
Is this him?
Also, are all statistics profs gamblers or was that just a thing in the Chico State mathematics department?
heh, my best friend's mom used to tell me that. she was a champion Texas Hold'em player, used to make her living in Vegas, cute little brunette who would routinely clean out the suckers. it was not an attractive occupation - 6-8 hours at a poker table at the Sands or wherever every night, playing the odds, grinding out her winnings. my buddy ultimately ended up in GA from the way he was raised.
I have a relative who worked as a cashier at Yonkers Raceway North of the Bronx. They have harness racing (since the 1950's) and video slot machines (since 2005) which are "Video Lottery Terminals" (the way they got around state anti-gambling laws). Administration-wise all the machines are a lottery with the results determined before you put the money in the machine. So there's a heavy state involvement with the track, which is just like the track at Saratoga. At both tracks the video lottery machines were allowed as a way to preserve the harness racing industry which was almost extinct - the video lottery income was used in part to increase the purses so the racers could stay in business.
She said once "I want to learn Karate so I can drop a customer at the track". Seemed an odd thing to say so I asked her why - she said that when people go to the window to collect their winnings if they owe the state any money, like from welfare fraud or maybe even court-ordered child support they take that out of the winnings and people get really angry and mean. We do some work at the Raceway and I asked the guys there and they said the same thing - unbelievable altercations when people can't get all their winnings.

Or maybe he has those tendencies.
Would you settle for a low empath?
That is a total comedy routine.
I couldn't do it in that context.
But that is why it's funny.
I like this technique. I read something years ago about how the brain is wired to feel the pain of loss more deeply than the pleasure of winning.. This is true for me, especially with money.
Team Saratoga if anyone knows my delightful lovely mother Gale please please demonstrate love to her she's at the track today picking out me a captain sunvizor
