I get up anticipating and expecting to see the fabulous Congo's
confirmation that he or his agant will be at the Belle early tomorrow
morning with his cash (which the Gaming Today representative will,
after taking pictures needed for use with my article, handle and take
back to LV for deposit on account unless Congo has someone else in
mind). But so far nothing. I'll wait until noon before re-writing the
column.
GROUNDRULES, as stated by Congo and RS:
--The bet is $250k each. Congo says I will not be ahead even $1 after
50 sessions of playing MY Play Strategy that has made me over
$645,000 since 1997. I of course know I will, so in essence this is a
sucker bet.
--There will be no alterations to my play strategy, such as Congo's
requiring me to ONLY play 99.2% games or lower. Most of the time I
do, and since I don't care WHAT the EV is on any game I play ever,
that's asking me to alter my strategy and I expect he's now
understood that he cannot have it both ways. Whatever the game where
I sit pays--8/5 BP or 7/5 or 6/5--that's the one I'll start off with.
The same with the advanced BP games in all denominations needed.
--As I understand it, I am to have Congo's representative (or maybe
even him at times) watch 50 sessions for verification. Everyone is
aware of what I said up front and long ago time after time that I do
not play on any particular schedule, ever, and that the logistics of
watching me will never be very easy. But Congo said it's not a
problem, thinking we could simply 'skip over' those where there's no
verifier. That makes no sense. Either he's committed to this or he's
not. I'll give 24 hours notice to the verifier along with a window of
expected play-start, and where. The 'where' may change, but we'll be
together by then. For what's at stake to go along with Congo's big
mouth claiming I'm a 'liar & a fraud' I'd certainly make sure either
the verifier were to be there for sure or I'd be there.
I await the phone numbers of Congo as well as his rep's name. Noon
today, as stated yesterday, is my cut-off for going forward with
this. I made the effort. Please don't make me have to re-write the GT
article.
