I didn't make a statement dumb ass I ask a question

[George C]

About 80% of my play occurs in Vegas, George C. I specifically moved to Vegas, so I would have access to many game. I just don't care for alot of travel any more. Airport hassels, nights in hotel rooms, even nice hotel rooms, etc. Been there....done that. I am so over that. I prefer to retreat to my own bed in my own home as often as possible.

Yes Tthree, I estimate rounds using the number of cards in play divided by 2.75 cards per player (and dealer) per round.

KJ I too moved to Vegas in 2000. At the time I was on the best financed team ever (some several million $$). At my age travel is a real pain in the butt. Of the several players on the team two of us were cleared to play multiple-hands, table max. My max was 3 x $2K and the other player played all spots x $10K. I simply didn't have the stomach to handle the swings betting all spots with $10K bets. We both tracked which I must say even today the casinos are ill equipped to handle a tracker. I was told I had a job for life so this was BJ heaven for me. Alas through a series of horrible losses the team came to an end as the investor pulled his financial support.

Fast forward to now. I'm still playing but at smaller stakes and all play is in Vegas. You're putting in many more hours, rounds than I am but I do have other sources of income. I still enjoy the challenge of the game so I suppose I'll play until I die.

Haha... I know of no team that could actually be sure that all their loses were actually loses.
Actually, I do know of one. The only team that used what I believe is the ONLY way of making SURE nobody steals from you.
Nobodys ever written about it and nor will I in a public forum since I intend ln using the method when I decide to quit playing and finance my own team of players.

I knew most of the players and can say not one of these folks would steal. One of our guys lost well into six figures, trip after trip. They put him on a lie detector and he passed with flying colors. There were a couple of guys that I didn't know at all so I can't say for sure. Bottom line one never really knows.
