    Wow! The simple concept of protecting copyrights now seems to be a strange rule rather than the norm. Of course if you get protected information (that is for sale) and distribute it, it is a violation of copyrights. Also, if you collected it yourself and get paid for reporting it to CBJN, and then posted on another website is violation of copyrights. If you got the information from CBJN and just said you saw, it is obviously unethical.

    Thanks, I edited it. I knew something did not look "right"

    Always the diplomat

    On a side note did Stanford Wong sell BJ21.com in the last couple years? I purchased an issue of CBJN in 2015 and it was very detailed and easy to navigate. The one I got from 2017 looks like garbage by comparison. The new one doesn't track side bets anymore either.

    Yes, Pi Yee Press was sold. however, that has nothing to do with the format change. From what I was told, the publishing software they used was old and no longer supported. I, too, despise the new format and made my feelings known to Al, who is still the guy who collates the info and publishes it. It looks very unprofessional and is many more pages. BTW, I'm a CBJN reporter.

    To all the people questioning the copyright stuff... No, the data in CBJN is not protected, copyright or otherwise. Only the layout of the data is, if the layout is something they put some creative effort into. This is well settled law under Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_...one_Service_Co.). This exact same principle is what allows news agencies to publish the scores of sports games. If copyright applied to reporting facts, no one could re-publish NFL scores.

    The reason people here say you should not rip them off and disseminate all of their info is not legal, but rather moral/non-legal "business" considerations. If people start ripping CBJN off too much it will certainly degrade the quality of info people are willing to give it (even more so than currently), etc.

    So, regardless, please don't.

    I love these guys! Trying to show everyone they have seen it all. $100 and $200 min IS high stakes in Vegas and in most countries. BJG, have you ever play a $100 min table?

    In which country or locality is $100 min not high stakes?

    It is mostly high stakes everywhere. Maybe Macau, never been there. Even in Monaco, 100 Euros is an high stakes table. Players betting $10 000 a hand or even $100 000 do exist but they are not that many...

    Aaah, all a matter of definition. Caesars had $100 min bet tables in the 70s. $100 at the start of 1975 would be $473 in current dollars. Big strip hotels now have much higher min bet tables on their main floors. Of course there still exist much cheaper tables. But then, pizza used to be 15 cents a slice.

    Hard to believe. When Julius Caesar was making it?
    However, I do remember when the subway was 10 cents.

    Only in downtown Las Vegas.

    Also if you read my posts, you would know I spread $25 to $450 in 6D most of the time. This is the sweet spot that big casinos don't look at your play. It is my choice. With my skill, I can bankrupt any casino.

    Mostly 10k everywhere . If you want to get crazy at ventian plazzo they increase the limits to 70k per 1 million on deposit. The streak limits are mostly 10k but they all will go higher. Caesars I beleive is 5k min to 50k max
