Las Vegas GF Chat Room

Fair enough and thanks.

By the way, my intuition may have been right about baccarat that it can't be beaten and why Punkcity may not have gotten back to me like he said he would.

Regardless, I will have to try what I know and if it doesn't work out, then give blackjack another try but in a different way.

 

Same here for the things I shouldn't have said, sorry.

 

Now I see that Singer and Mdog are at it again. 2 totally discredited trolls. Singer discredited numerous times, from the fake money from Amazon he posted to my personal favorite, pictures in an RV at the RV dealership that he claimed was his.....confirmed by the general manager of the dealership! Mdawg, hung himself when after posting reports of daily winning for 7 straight months, at one stretch 102 winning days out of 104. If you added up all the winning days it was over $700k. And then in one single line all that winning disappeared when he wrote "additionally, Wizard and I went over my records and I am about even for this trip". $700 thousand dollars to about even! I guess in fairness Wizard gets some credit for forcing that.

Not long ago I posted some quotes from Rob Singer about Mdawg from when Mdawg busrt onto the scene. Rob said things like Just another foolish California flake running his "look at me! look at me" mouth, and This new flamboyant poster only loses credibility with every post that includes cash and chips.

Mdawg responded to Rob with this: As Professor Kingsfield did to HART, I hereby SHROUD Rob.Springer. Hereafter, you are a ghost to me. You may continue to spout your non-sequiturs (as your attorney I suggest that you see your doctor to have your dose on those psych meds adjusted), but I will respond only if what you post makes logical sense, which little of what you have posted in this thread, does.

It just strikes me as really funny that these two complete frauds and their multiple foolish false stories early on recognized each other as frauds, but now, with no one else supporting them, they have found each other and are best buds.

 

You have mentioned PunkCity numerous times now. I only know punkcity from his occasionally jumping in and trolling some of these mostly blackjack discussions. I never read the baccarat threads or other gambling threads to know anything about him. When you mentioned that he claims to be a winning baccarat player it didn't surprise me though.

Here is what I suggest, read more of his posts. Not just a couple claims of whatever he is claiming about baccarat. I have a saying that "It isn't that hard to figure out who knows what they are talking about and who is just talking", and I think if you read some more of his posts, you will be very able to make that call.

If your story is true and you have somehow managed to break even for 2 years playing -EV games, I give you credit for seeking out winning players and expressing a desire to learn how to really win by playing with an advantage. Unfortunately you really have to dig a little to find out who is legit among all the Rob Singers, Mdawgs and others (possibly Punkcity).

 

The kewl-J and other ain't manage to wrap their head around it but you can win well, and regular at the baccarats. Sure it's a slim edge lookin to capture 1.24-1.25 units nets profits per shoe. But, the variance and draws-down ain;t so steep, and casino figure ya can't win so not much scrutinies or backs-off. it ain't rocket science, baby, hey hey.

 

The UNKewl one isn't here to listen, he's just here to yap uncontrollably out of rigid doll face about his own agenda - which is to try to convince people that he does in fact play in casinos.

 

Hey Mdog, What happened to the $700k that you claimed to have won over 7 months and then the next day....about even?

What happened to the mid seven figure mansion in Las Vegas you claimed to have purchased, never to have mentioned again and when I asked about it at WoV, asking why you needed comped suites if you owned a multi-million dollar mansion in Vegas, you cried to Wizard to suspend me.

These guys always hang themselves because they get too big for their own "stories". They have the need to constantly escalate to garnish more attention and next thing you know, they have hung themselves. Give them enough rope and they hang themselves.

 

Meanwhile pick and lie as you will, not a damn thing has ever changed about my experiences that I share. THAT is how you figure out who is legit or not. I don't need to escalate. I just share my experiences, at least what I can safely share, and think might benefit others.

Ok, heading out for the evening. Wishing everyone well, even you haters.

 

You really can’t blame people for ridiculing UNKewlJ.

 

Actually, I read his thread on stadium baccarat in full multiple times and I'm actually re-reading to see if I missed anything.

I also read many of his other posts on different threads and as far as I can tell, he is genuinely trying to help fellow players and nothing more, but I would hate to be on the receiving end of his wrath when he is not happy about what some folks posted and I don't blame him for that since he is simply trying to keep out the things that could make the beginners lose if anything.

In the end, I have no idea whether what he is telling is all true or not. I would like to believe it's all true, but I will never know for fact. I can only believe what he said and if it doesn't work out for me with what he is teaching then I lost nothing but some time.

However, I formulated my own strategy of what I believe to be is his teaching and honestly they worked for me even though I haven't tried them daily like he does. People think it's just trend chasing, but it really isn't. I do bet the trends, but it's all subjective to what each individual sees and follows. I have no idea what the future is with this thing but when I go in full, I will find out pretty quickly whether it's going to work or not and I know it will be a grind. My main hope is not to get killed, but I shouldn't be since it's flat betting.

I don't know why people think I must be gambling all the time just because I'm in casinos all the time. I am not even though I could.

I was at Borgata for a whole week last week and I probably gambled only one day for a brief period of no more than an hour. I won about $200 so I quit and haven't played anything else since until last night when I went back to Borgata and played the Tiles for another hour and made only $42. I haven't played baccarat for a while but I always look around at the tables to see what's going on.

Anyway, I find Punkcity to be a nice guy but probably not as nice as you since he could be mean at times. I haven't seen you go off from what I can tell, but I feel for you having to spend all that time depending yourself and what not.

I spent way too much time on this forum, so I need to take a break from all of it. I don't know how you do it posting all that and some.

Take it easy and stay away from the board some time.

 

LG no one really cares what you are doing or not doing, except of course, the UNKewl one, and busy bodies like him (e.g. MrV). UNKewlJ makes it his life to comment on what others do, and try to claim that what they are doing is not possible (according to the books he has read).

 

LG, I assume you are fairly new to gambling forums?

Most of us have been at it for decades and post on several different gambling boards.

I suggest you bookmark and explore the following at your leisure; the characters you see here can be found there, but for KJ you'll likely need to search for his old threads.

Yes, I am fairly new and to be honest I don't even know why I signed up to this forum in the first place.

Thanks for the information.

 

I just remembered why I signed up for this forum and it was to read Lungyeh's thread about baccarat as small business and to be able to post.

I hope he's doing well as I haven't seen him around for a while.

 

You should also read Spike's thread about how to beat roulette. It would be a great addition to your repertoire.

 

Thank you for the pointer.

I would still like to know about AP'ing slots. I've searched the internet about it, and I understand some of what they are talking about but not 100% clear for me to start looking around the casino floor. I can cover pretty much all casinos in AC since I can look around Hard Rock, Resorts, and Ocean while I'm staying at Hard Rock. I can cover Borgata, Harrah's, and Golden Nugget while I'm at Borgata. Then, Bally's, Caesars, and Tropicana when I'm at Bally's or Caesars. I gather that you have to walk around a bit to find them, but I got nothing better to do.

A poster on another forum told me to look at machines which has some type of things that's building and people have left it, so play those. I understand the concept, but I need the specific information.

If you know of a site that has the information about it and I could read it to understand what it's all about, then I would appreciate that.

Considering that I will be the casinos for the next 2.5 months and possibly longer if I continue to get the weekend rooms, it may be worthwhile of my time to look into that. Thank you.

 

Of course it requires some play in order to keep the comped rooms, but I do not play EVERY day just because I'm in casinos every day or to keep my comped rooms. In the last few months, I'm probably playing no more than a couple of days per week if that and it's obviously affecting my comped room offers as they are getting reduced (but only losing Saturday for now at Borgata) which doesn't concern me a bit. Sometimes, it's no play at all for a full week if it makes any sense to you or to anyone. I mean, if you are in casinos all the time, why wouldn't you want to gamble as much as you could? Well, I don't. When I'm up a decent amount one day, I probably won't play for a week or even 2 weeks since what I won covers my expenses for a long time. I was up 1.5K in a couple of days play in July and I have no need to play for a while.

Also, I probably should have made this point sooner that getting the comped rooms isn't a necessity for me. I don't play to keep the comped rooms as I could careless if the casinos cut off all of the comped rooms since I don't need to stay here. It was nice that I could, but if I didn't it wouldn't matter either.

My two kids love swimming at the indoor pools and all 3 casinos I stay have one (Bally's, Borgata, and Hard Rock). They can walk on the boardwalks, go to the beach whenever they want, go play at the huge arcade in what used to Showboat, etc. It's been 2.5 years of vacation to be honest and the trick was for me to not lose since if I did then it would just be a very expensive vacation. They have way more things to do here in AC than to stay home.

Back in the room, when my kids are done with their online classes, they are busy playing games with their friends on the internet. They would be doing the same if they were home except they don't have their large gaming monitors in AC but they tell me they don't miss it much. Fortunately, I have 2 very smart and responsible kids. They were both done with their online classes for the year by mid February this year, so they had nothing else to do for 3.5 months but playing games and whatever. Since I'm in the same room with them all the time, I get to monitor them to make sure they aren't doing anything they shouldn't. At home, we are all in separate rooms, so I have no clue what they are up to on their laptops.

Because of the Pandemic and the lack of customers when the casinos re-opened, it was rather easy getting the comped rooms; especially with Bally's as they were just bought out by Twin Rivers around the same time and they probably needed customers. They were not only giving away the comped rooms rather easily, but they were also giving away the food comps very generously. You play for only an hour, they will give you a food comp on paper for $20 just like that. Play for 2 hours, you get $40, etc. I was getting $100+ for playing a few hours of $100 minimum baccarat. It was great for the past 2.5 years, but not anymore as Bally's all of sudden (about 3 weeks ago) changed their food comp and player rating policies per my host. I guess now that they finished spending all that money (hundreds millions renovating their main tower rooms), they need to make more money so cutting off the freebies. No more paper food comps and you have to rely on what's earned through the plays which is practically nothing just like CET. It's a joke how much comp you can earn at CET, but at least they will give you a paper food comp if your comp balance is very low; otherwise they are just giving you what you already have. But in Vegas, they give you absolutely nothing because when we were in Vegas last August, we asked and we got NOTHING. So, we saved the $5.74 fee in Vegas, but we lost out much bigger on the food comps. That's with the CET and MGM properties only. It was great with Palace Station casino where I played. I lost a bit while playing there and they gave me $100 food comp and we had a great meal at their sushi restaurant.

If the casino gambling was my main goal, then I could just stay home and go to PARX everyday which I don't. I almost never go there even if it's less than 10 minutes away from my house. The Live and the new casino in Philadelphia is less than 30 minutes too and it's a straight shot mostly on the highway so it's very easy to get there.

I am not claiming to be lucky to not have lost in the last 2.5 years. I'm just saying you need some luck to win. Without luck, I would be toast or have lost more for sure, but that's with the games I play. I don't need a lot of luck either; just some. I know what I'm doing not to lose big which is what I just need to do to win small or break even.

I never said I won in "long-term" as I am down over "long-term" and that's over 38 years. 2.5 years isn't a "long-term" and I am not down over 2.5 years. I'm sure others can win over 2.5 year period if they were focused and determined even without an edge to overcome the house edge.

I can only tell you that I am good at what I do. It's just too bad that I wasn't wise enough to learn faster on what pitfalls to avoid.

If I was to focus all my attention to casino gambling, then I'm sure I will spend my time learning card counting and look into what else I need to do to win playing blackjack like you have done in your life. I'm just not that into it since casino gambling is only a small portion of my interest. It's just something that I do and that's about it.

I came to this forum to see if if there's anything here I could pick up on to increase my win rates playing casino games since I'm in casinos all the time, but so far not much except the baccarat information from Punkcity which has helped me win a decent amount. That 1.5K win was from playing $100 minimum baccarat, but I'm beginning to think it could have been a beginner's luck and if I played a lot of baccarat I could end up losing in the "long-term" since there is no edge you can have for baccarat like the card counting for blackjack.

So KewlJ, you may be 100% right that the only way to win consistently and over "long-term" in casino is blackjack by using whatever edge you can have like the card counting.

When I retire, maybe I will give that a try, but by then my brain could be fried and cannot count effectively.

 

If my main goal was to gamble everyday, then I would have already sold my house and just stayed in AC hotels or moved to Vegas. My stupid property tax is crazy high at over $11,000 a year. My house value has doubled, so I could make a killing selling it but that would leave me with too much money to gamble with and that's just not a good idea for me because I probably get careless.

As I've said before, casino gambling isn't my #1 goal. If I could card count effectively and win consistently in playing blackjack like you, then maybe it could be but I have a job that pays me very well and it's not too difficult to do for me as I have been doing the same thing for all my life, so until I retire I won't be making casino gambling as my primary goal.

There is no question that it's nice staying in the casino hotel for this long and I can think of nothing that is of inconvenience.

As for $7.54 fee per night that I pay in AC. I know CET has always been fee free in Vegas for Diamond and up but that could change considering how cheap Eldorado has become like closing all of the Laurel lounges in Vegas with no intention of reopening them. MGM charged their resort fees even for Gold up until this year, but they could change their mind at any time, too. I don't know if the other smaller casinos don't charge resort fees for their higher level players, but I haven't read about it anywhere.

In AC, if you are Diamond Plus which I am, their Laurel lounges are 100% free with an unlimited access. They were open everyday before the Pandemic, so it was free meals twice a day. Now, it's open only on Fri/Sat/Sun, and the meals are limited not like the mini buffet style they had before.

If I focused all my plays at CET, then I would have made 7 Stars and that would have allowed me to get free rooms on any day of the year for the whole year. I know a few 7 Stars players and one of them lives at Caesars and he has been there for as long as I have known him, so 2.5 years is nothing compared to what he has been doing. He bets big but I have never seen him win, so I have no clue where he is getting all his money from except I know his parents are filthy rich owning multiple businesses. Perhaps he is winning big when I don't see him play and the way he bets, he will win huge if he catches any trends as he starts at 1K initial bet. He only plays Baccarat and Tiles just like me and that's why I see him all the time when I play.

Perhaps if I was winning consistently all the time like you playing blackjack, I should worry about staying under the radar as I'm sure that is one of your biggest concerns. What can Borgata possibly do if they came here and saw my coupons posted on a thread? Cut me off from their comped rooms? It could be of little inconvenience if they did, but it's not going to affect me that much as I still have CET, Hard Rock, and Bally's to get my comped rooms from. As a matter of fact, until this year when Borgata (a MGM property) finally decided to remove the resort fees from their Gold level and higher players, I didn't stay there all for the first 1.5 years of past 2.5 because I didn't want to pay their resort fees. I stopped gambling at Borgata for 1.5 years that I didn't stay there but I did eat their buffet since it's only $12.50 comp dollars per person when the normal price is $43.

There is no question you have a good knowledge about how the casinos operate and what not, but probably not all of how the room comping works as even I have no clue why they are giving me free rooms when I'm not losing. Logically, it should be when people lose.

But from my experience, it also has to do with the average bet size and how long a player plays. Once at Borgata and this was many years ago, I was down a few thousands, so I had to up my average bet size if I had any hope getting them back so I was betting anywhere from $100 to $500 a hand. It took me a while but I finally broke even and I quit. Soon after, my comped rooms were open to any day of the week including Saturday and it was at Borgata and all of the MGM properties everywhere.

Bally's has finally stopped giving me future free rooms because I stayed there every weekend in July and I rarely played there if any at all.

I still have rooms reserved there for all of August, so maybe I will play some $100 minimum baccarat and see if the comped rooms open up for me again. If not, then they really changed their rating system negatively for players as it was really easy getting comped rooms at Bally's.

But, summer is almost over and in the off-season, it's definitely easier to get the comped rooms so I will see what happens.

I already have every weekend reserved up to October, so if I don't get anymore after then it's time to go home finally I guess.

 

If I did that, then would you consider letting me watch you play?

 

UNKewl cannot help you, as he does not actually play much at all. His play barely rates for a comp'ed hot dog.

He will come up with one excuse after another as to why he cannot meet you.

I am the only one who has been witnessed playing, and winning.

As far as his suggestion that you move to Vegas to get your rooms comp'ed completely, that contradicts his constant high pitched whining (turns out he didn't even know this attorney at all, made the whole thing up) about how it is impossible to get comp'ed, and win at the same time, for any length of time in Vegas.
