She just would not accept my argument that the casino likely would have paid the extra construction costs up front, to protect against room rental losses that might result if construction was completed in a shoddy manner.

    Oh well. I guess she and I will have several days of quality time together. Just her and me. Bet she begs for me to go to the casino by Monday, if not earlier. It will either be that, or more quality time together, all alone.
    I hope you guys are ok.

    Would be hilarious if she forced you to go to the casino - now might be a good time to take up the harmonica or those big jugs that hillbillies blow on

    See i wonder about this - isn't it mostly your spread and then secondarily when you move your money with the count (a sharp pit or at least eye) and then much farther down in the turtley tertiary maybe some advantage plays like splitting tens soft double etc (super sharp pit or eye).

    So my question is does making esoteric index plays at slightly different times necessarily fool anyone? Does using a sophisticated count with different index plays throw off anyone besides maybe another counter at the table using high lo wondering why you are making a few index plays differently than he would?

    Or does the increased playing efficency mean that you can bet more in a negative count with a higher expectation of winning? That would definitely buy you some cover on a sharp pit or eye but if they see you winning your big bets and losing your small ones doesnt it lead to the same place?

    This is of course not a discussion on which count is best but rather in what manner a more sophisticated count adds to longevity

    Also if tthree is listening you can pm your answer if you don't want it publicly known how your arithmetical mystical gymnastics throws the pit hounds off your count -scent

    This decision, made after due consideration, is resultant to your egregious misspelling of "APPROACHES". Don will never notice my journey back to the old ways.
    Typing properly is a good habit to get into even if the motivation is provided by egoic pettiness and the pig of smugness wrapped in the buttery, flakey blanket of superiority.

    Besides, a sentence properly grammaticated weaves its way into the mind like a slippery ear wig - unencumbered by the friction of bad grammar and the dissonance of improper punctuation

    Edit. And that's the proper way to spell concordantly in the form of Ned Flanders

    Edit II. If the way you shotgun-blasted your post with unnecessary commas is any indication of the battle ahead I think my odds of winning are even better than the odds that tthree's post will be at least two paragraphs.
    There's little sense in claiming correct or incorrect use of commas, when so much is a matter of preference and style. Yes, I use more commas than most. But I'm just as enraged by people who suppress 90% of them and expect we'll just get along and figure out what they mean anyway. So, do me a favor, please (there are two more for you to stew over!), and save your edits for more substantial transgressions ... if you can find them.

    "Compulsory after sending the troops into the grammatical breech [breach!] against don."

    I'm going to end this right now, because, well, it's just much too easy. So this is my last one.

    Don, shame on you. You missed

    "playing efficency mean that you can bet more in a negative count with a higher expectation of winning? That would definitely buy you some cover on a sharp pit or eye but if "

    In post 87.

    Still, winner by TKO - Don.

    I am agog with anticipation to your next grammatical matchup.

    There were any number of edits to make with the post, and as I said, it was really much too easy. But, of course, this was right there for the picking.

    That line is so cornball, it's funny. I read it in its entirety, primarily because it was brief

    Don is right about gross spelling errors on forum posts being an embarrassment. You would think people on a forum of this type with people of technical expertise would know the difference between there, their, and they're, etc. What are people to think? Great at basic math, able to count, but really shitty at spelling and grammar?
