Ya, I caught that , too. The problem with those Vegas shows on the Travel
Channel is that there is a fair amount of incorrect information stated in the
dialog.
You know, I've never seen inaccurate information come froma Travel
Channel show. To what are you referring that's inaccurate or
incorrect?

I have seen LOTS of it - in fact in almost every show we are in, particularly - since I look for inaccuracies. When I talk for hours while they are filming it, the problem is that when they edit it, a lot of information is cut out and sometimes what is left is not the "complete" truth. For example, they once said we paid for our Vegas condo with "a) VP jackpot - when the truth of the matter it was from the profit we made over a year or so of playing, grinding out many many small wins.
The problem with TV editing, it is usually done by someone who doesn't gamble themselves and/or doesn't know about good gambling math. So when they edit or "summarize," weird and/or wrong concepts often emerge.

I'm too busy when I can't see humor. Sorry!!! (Although my comment might help some people who think that everything they see on TV is the God's truth!!)
