Glad I at least went 1-3 with you. <g>
Okay, I might have worded my response to No. 2 a leeetle too strongly. Locals
are more dependent on those things and will feel the effect more. But they
also will benefit the most (because they play the most) when full-pay tables
are restored, so they aren't exactly making a heroic sacrifice by boycotting
casinos that drop their favorite FP games.
I still stand behind my answer to the first one.
Just to make amends, though, I've got your back on your point to someone
else that casinos don't always suffer when knowledgeable players participate
only in positive expectation games. My bankroll took nearly a four-figure hit
last year when playing a hugely positive game downtown. Positive expectation
never assures profitable results.
