Would any of you folks care to share with the group how you started
gambling? What age were you at the time and what game you played or
ran?
Went to Reno at the ripe old age of 20 in 1976. played BJ and even started
to learn craps.
Became fascinated with the idea that some had beaten the casinos - I bought
every blackjack and craps book I could find. Learned to count, vary the
count, the whole thing. How did i do? I consider myself an expert
blackjack player - by virtue of the thousands of dollars I have lost playing
the stupid game!
Found video poker via the Internet about 5 years ago - it has changed the
way we vacation. Instead of two trips a year and paying full price for
everything we now are able to go 7 or 8 times a year and pay very little.
We don't make money, but we do get a lot more bang for the buck!
At least that was our story until the Suncoast removed their full pay
deuces. Now we are devastated - we may never gamble again, anywhere. The
nerve of them to take away my favorite game...(-:
I will fly to Laughlin in 10 days, but only to test myself - see if I can
really do it. Any bets?!
Later,
SK
