OFF-TOPIC POSTS/THREADS

#1

I strongly support the decision to moderate the board and ensure that the
topics are somewhat remotely related to VP.
There are plenty of other forums that deal with politics, religion etc... and
this isn't one of them.
I would think if a topic could be in some manner related to VP, it should be
fine for discussions including;
strategy
promotions
experiences
questions
accommodations
hosts
rip-offs
strip clubs
comps
sex
drugs
rock n roll
and tons of other topics

This is a great forum that combined with VP software has enabled me to enjoy
playing VP and taking several almost free vacations per year.

I don't think the intent is to be restrictive but when it comes to politics,
guns and religion, other forums or VPFREE are more appropriate.

Good luck to everyone, except a few select assholes:)

Only kidding, lets have fun, lighten up and enjoy the site.

are polite, non-personal, non-argumentative and VERY SHORT. As
a general rule in these instances, it will be appreciated if participants
will consolidate their views in a single post.

3. Off-topic threads that violate #2 will be moved to FREEvpFREE.

Brad and I were in the mood to just have fun this afternoon, but the doctor had told him we couldn't have sex for 5 days after my angiogram, so we decided the next best fun thing would be to play Five Play Multi-Strike video poker. So, with strategy chart in hand, we took off for Caesars. It may not have been the best decision since I was still a little groggy from the sedation drugs I had yesterday and there was no special promotion going on, but it was an almost 100% play and this one time, in my drugged state, I decided maybe it would be okay to count the comps to put it in positive territory. Celine was singing on the PA system most of the time - I really wanted a little rock and roll for variety - but it didn't matter - we were pretty engrossed in the game. I thought maybe our host would come by - but I guess she didn't check her computer and see that she had some half-high-half-low rollers in her palace. I was glad we didn't have to play near the very loud Shadow Bar - although I think it is kind of a classy gimmick - more subtle than a strip club. However, it get pretty boring after the first few minutes - but then that's a woman's point of view. I had to go to the slot club to see if I could get my umpteen slot club cards (all with different numbers) unified into just ONE account. I don't think one should do this when they are under the influence of drugs. It was not a pleasant experience - but I persevered and I think I got it accomplished without them ripping off any of my points - but who knows. We played for about 5 hours and enjoyed ourselves - but then we were so tired we wished we had stopped at about 3 hours. We could have gotten a room to save the 10-minute drive home - but we prefer our own accommodations. However, getting too old to have so much fun for so long - in bed OR in a casino. We lost $2500 but we thought that a very moderate amount for our 10 hours of combined play, would you say so, Harry?

I shudder to think of the resultant post had Joel's list been even
more inclusive (and bizarre) :wink:

Sounds like this was likely somewhere around $100K-$120K total play,
no? ... In which case this session did end reasonably comfortably.

You know, what I'd be interested in seeing are some hour-to-hour
win/loss figures to get a real idea of the volatility. (corresponding
coin-in would be helpful).

Hi Jean,

I'm happy you're feeling better.

I do admire your sense of humor! The little satirical piece above
is an excellent example of the laughs that an accomplished author
can induce, even while in a semi-drugged state!

Keep up the good work. I always enjoy reading your posts as well as
your books and columns.

Continued good health and a plethora of royals to you and Brad (even
if he is a button-pounder!)
