Emoticons are gone, because they suck just like Steve's last 2 threads.

Yeah that cutting and pasting fucntion is a bitch.
Considering that the man has written up 536 game-- yeah, it is.
I am not telling anybody what to do , just stating my opinion.
Yeah, and you're stating it over, and over, and over again. It's gotten to the point where it's no longer an opinion so much as a means of negative reinforcement meant to make everybody cringe at the thought of anybody even bringing up BGG.
As far as a dickhead, only a dickhead would split 4's in blackjack ;)
*SIGH* You know that I do this for a living right? once again for the man I'd love to have play at my table so I can laugh ta all his mistakes:

This is used by Stanford Wong-- one of the best advantage players in the business. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen where you can entter different game parameters.

Wait a second if the dealer is showing 5 or 6 don't you split 4's. My next Vegas Junket is March 30 - April 4 so I don't want to screw this up.

I haven't posted there for a year or so. And I deleted all my content. But it had nothing to do with any so-called AT war.

They packed their bags and left for T.O.S. about a week ago.

"2) This is not what Robert Martin says. I have him on audio telling me the genesis of Ameritrash. I can play it for you if you like. One of you has the story wrong"
And Juniper clearly proved which when he wrote: "Bullshit. This is where the phrase emerged . Notice that the message predates the creation of BGG."

Nice...
And Steve, remember that we all love you like a hamster, but I have to say "He Fucking Dick then Bullshit"!

Yeah you do Peter-- depending on what kind of game the casino offers. Your best bet is to follow the link I provided, scroll down to the bottom of the page and enter the parameters of the game. You know: how many decks?, does the dealer hit on soft 17? Etc.
Once you do that it'll give you the basic strategy you should use. Just do me a favor and remember that even if you make no mistakes in the application of basic strategy (something only few people are actually capable off) the house still has an advantage.

My advice:if you lose half your roll-- call it a day and seriously consider if your willing to lose the rest the next day. If you win 1.5 times your roll make a dash with the cash.

I'll tell you what I tell all my clients: the only system that is a sure fire winner at any gamem of any casino in the world is to leave while your ahead.


Good luck man!

Steve,

I really would like to hear you talk about games, can you do a thread on games that thrive on player input, substantiating your claim that gamers are the artists?

thanks

Now this is a really interesting idea. Maybe a topic for dice lounge 6? Or just a thread or blog post from weeks?

I would have to say that BSG has to be somewhere on the list of "high player input" style games.
