The joke goes like this. A guy goes to visit an old college roommate of his. The roommate lives down in the south. He brags to all his old friends about how fast his car is, and how he and his brother are both in to stock car racing, how they build fast cars and go racing, all that kind of stuff. He says that he and his brother both have fast muscle cars that they race all over town, "Dukes of Hazzard" style. So the guy gets picked up at the airport by his buddy, and driven back to his hometown which is about 25 miles away. First thing the guy does when they get into town is blow through a red light. And blow through it at about 60 miles an hour. The guy doesn't even slow down, doesn't even take his foot off the gas pedal...

The actual title of this post is " More on dice setting". Did you like how I use the word moron in the actual post title? (I'm trying real hard not to hurt my arm patting myself on the back for being so clever.) So, as you may remember from my posts before football season started (sorry, I get easily distracted by football), I was doing some empirical research...

This weeks NFL three team parlay is sponsored by Amazon Prime. If you're not watching Amazon Prime video already, you can click  here  to check it out for 30 days for free.   Here are the night game match ups this week and my picks TNF - Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams (-7). The Vikings got embarrassed last week by one of the worst teams in the league, the Buffalo Bills. They will be anxious to get that taste out of their mouth as soon as possible, so this game coming on a Thursday night is perfect for them. The Rams have injury problems in the defensive secondary, and will have 3 rookies on the field when in "nickle" coverage. This is a bad thing to have happen during a short week. Minnesota may not have enough to win, but should keep it close. Take the Vikings+7 . SNF - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3). Pittsburgh had an impressive first half last Monday against Tampa Bay, then held on in the  second half to win. Since the start of last year, ...

The Excalibur Casino, on the Las Vegas Strip, was robbed on Wednesday (9/13/18) around 10:15 a.m., when an armed man reportedly went to the casino cage and came away with an undisclosed amount of money. A surveillance image of the suspect was released later that day, and I will talk about that in a later post. Look for it!

Okay here it is, my first 5-star free NFL pick of the week, for the season.  My pick is the Green Bay Packers - 7 at home versus the Chicago Bears. I also picked the Packers in my free 3 team parlay for this week, and normally I would not double up and choose them here. however, there really isn't another game on the schedule in week one that I like this more than this one, so I'm betting it.  Here is my analysis. You might think Chicago will be on a roll having just picked up Khalil Mack in a blockbuster trade, and that that might give them an advantage against Green Bay. Media sources however, say that Mack will be on a "pitch count", and only play 20 to 25 snaps, so he might not make that much of a difference. Chicago has a good defense, even without him, but I think it's being overrated by the betting public. This game opened at - 8, but is down to a seven point spread as of Saturday morning. Green Bay, meanwhile, is coming off a 7-9 season where they failed t...

When you drop 60 bucks in less than 3 minutes playing  Blackjack, it's time for a strategic withdrawal  and a re-evaluation of your personal risk-reward paradigm.  So I cashed  in and decided to write it off with a blog post, thus making it a tax-deductible learning opportunity. Don't you wish you could write off your gambling losses like that? I stopped at the tables at the Bonanza, in North Reno, just after lunch, and got fleeced. I'm not saying I got cheated or anything, the dealer was just hot that's all. No big deal, this kind of thing sometimes happens. Some of you might think that I walked away too early, that only spending three minutes (six hands) at the table is not enough to determine how things are going to go. To that I call bullshit. I have a hard and fast rule that if at any point during your session you lose 5 Hands in a row, you should move to another table or quit. Since there was only one table open I opted for quitting. Losing six hands in a row...

Last night I continued my empirical research on dice setting, with mixed results. Let me tell you about it. So I was back at the Bonanza Casino, on North Virginia Street about 3 miles north of downtown, where the craps table has either a $2 or $3 minimum until 6 pm on most weekdays. I bought in for my usual hundred, and placed $5 on the pass line. My plan was the same as it usually is when I play craps: $5 pass line with max odds, and then place the 6 and 8 for $12 each, once a point is established. I'm continuing with the same way of setting that I said I've done before, which is to have the five and one touching each other on the inside. I also noticed that the threes face me as I set the dice, in kind of a V formation. I then used my three finger/one thumb grip and through the dice to the far end of the table as before, as low and slow as I possibly can. (I've taken to calling this a "low energy" dice toss.) So what were the results? I threw a lot of sevens ...
