In Jean's current Frugal Fridays "Do You Need to be Perfect?"
<http://tinyurl.com/82qjm> http://tinyurl.com/82qjm, she covers the
discussion between using penalty cards or not that in general terms is
familiar to readers here. It should come as no surprise that she
advocates the penalty-free approach and her article heavily promotes her
own material --- which is a sin I've been guilty of a thousand times or
so.
Just when I might choose to jump in and challenge a few of her
conclusions, she says that if you REALLY want to learn the game at a
higher level, get the Dancer Daily Winner's Guide for the game. So how
can I challenge her now?
Well done, Jean.

I'm sorry, but I have to say I'm surprised at how thin-skinned all of
you who have a financial stake (something to sell) with regards to VP
really are. If each of you simply continues to post, your followers
will purchase new products as they become available if they feel you
are offering worthwhile material. $40 or $50 doesn't matter to those
who play $4000 + per day on a VP machine.
Most of us do not care what the product is or what it costs as long as
we perceive that it will help us to play as accurately as we can with
a minimum of effort. When we purchase your products, it is because
we think they will help us. We do not care who provides them; and
most of us will purchase many different products and approaches over
time.
I am a decent typist. It amazes me how long it takes to post
something here that is coherent and not filled with typos. The
salespeople and the serious strategists (mathematicians)on this web
site must spend hours per week typing and editing their frequent posts.
When my wife and I were planning our trip to LV prior to Thanksgiving,
I initially wanted to attend the VP lunch at the Gold Coast on 11/19
and the Dancer seminar at FH on 11/22. The more I learned about some
of the personalities on the board, I decided that I probably did not
want to attend either of those events. We decided not to attend the
lunch because we would have to hustle to get there from the airport.
Went to the Silverton for the first time instead. My wife had great
interest, however, in the casino comps insights that were available,
so we attended BD's seminar.
The presentation needs to be shortened and made more interactive. I
believe it is enough to present some detail about the pertinient
topics to promote conversation and assist the audience in helping lead
the discussion in meaningful ways. But, I don't believe anyone in the
audience even thinks about putting a tenth of the coin-in that BD
claims. I believe they 99.76% of them are wannabees.
Was it valuable to hear this discourse? Absolutely.
When I mentally did the math to understand the high roller
motivations, it was an epiphany. A tenth of a percent of $250,000
coin-in per month is huge, not to mention bounce back or drawings,
etc. When a player gets to the point that he or she cannot be fed more
buffets or coffee shops, it is definitely time to try to convert one's
play to gasoline cards, bingo cards, free cigarettes or any other
scheme to extract more benefits from a given level of play.
While a .25 10/7 DB is actually a good enough play to earn comps and
cash back that makes me want to continue playing, I believe that many
of the lurkers on this board are very serious professional players who
will only post if there is some benefit to them. This lovely, "no
personal criticism" board is not as harmless as it initially seems to
a flea like me.
I think we need far fewer controversies and more "actionable"
information. I do not need to see the ugly side of some of the
personalites that expose themselves with a fair amount of regularity.
Those who are selling to us only need to help guide us toward
correct thinking for our individual level of play. Once shown the
benefits of strategies and tactics, most of us can adopt those that
are personally valuable.
But maybe the show we've been witnessing here is just a very serious
bunch of professionals trying to one-up each other. Should they decide
if they're teachers or players? Where do the bulk of their incomes
come from?
