Bob Dancer's 5/20 Column

#1

I read Bob Dancer's column every week. Strong opinions are often
expressed.

I don't always agree, and occasionally the articles don't always
pertain to my specific game interests.

But, in view of many recent posts on this site regarding tips, I
think most vpFREE members will find this week's column both
informative and illuminating.

Specifically, it refers to tipping in terms of how it reduces return.
The emotion of the situation and personal need of the casino staff is
not a factor.

As mathematics is a prevalent part of any Bob Dancer analysis this
week's article shows how overtipping could turn a positive year into
a negative one.

I would always like to be greeted with smiles as I enter a casino.
But I know more clearly now that there may be a high price attached
to being overly generous.

The most interesting part of the Dancer article was that perhaps casino employees were the ones calling in to the talk show to get the public in the habit of tipping 10% on royals. I wonder if these callers are mentioning their true motive?
