    Wait until you move to Vegas re smoke in the casinos.

    And thanks for the job advice. I was thinking about it, but you talked me out of it

    This was my first and last back-off. I tried "hit and run" strategy, but before long I had strained my left foot to the point that I had to wear a boot for six months. Since I loved the game but did not need the money, I learned how to disguise my game allowing me to stay in one casino until I reached an amount of winning that satisfied my penchant to beat the house. Disguising one's play lops off a lot of advantage and I often found myself playing for long hours sometimes more than 20 hours. You have to love what you're doing to put yourself through this kind of torture. I never got backed off again. My best run was 32 consecutive wins at one casino. Of course, I lost at some casino but at that one particular casino i had what i thought was a terriffic run. Also, I received many $200 comps based on the amount of time I played and that even when I won a good amount.
