Bastard!

I don't bet sports. I'm not wired that way. OK, wagers with mates and all, but not like walking in to a casino and putting a grand down. I can't separate the emotion, so I don't sports-wager. Tonight, I do think there are different critters out there now. Our play against WSU in a win shoulda been more eye-opening than the loss to UA. We had a rough patch there in the middle. I think we're a different unit now.

But I can't separate the emotion.

Homer's work with the committee is cool stuff, and he knows the big picture. The Pac is bettered with an Oregon win, Arizona obviously is bettered if it wins. A two-loss Wildcats team with two wins against a #2 ranked Oregon each time spells the best two-loss team in the country, I'd surmise. But I just don't see enough dominoes that even could fall to make that kind of jump possible.

And you're a bastard, btw!!


What a dud of a game. Glad I wasn't home to see it.
Ah, T, look on the bright side, perhaps you fell far enough to bottom out at the Vegas Bowl!!

It seems to me that we can READ a non-Vegas post but cannot comment on it?

Like Westie's posts.A LOT of his get read,but few comments because they had to go eat something!

It's certain that we are not allowed to POST a non-Vegas thread. Right?
Including Polls.

Bars,casinos and hotels/policies IN Las Vegas.

Las Vegas hookers count.Right? Has to be about things inside the city limits?
Not Pahrump? (Damn).

There is no winners,just the ones that can't stand it will be a LOU-ZER.
He He.


ddd228, You have nailed it! You can read non -Vegas posts during the challenge but can not post. I will extend the limitations to Pahrump gambling..lol.

So far in 2015,I have been on target.

I can't find any sweater puppies in a Las Vegas sweater,though.
Sweater Melons,indeed!

I missed the UGLY SWEATER RUN: https://theuglysweaterrun.com/locations/las-vegas-nevada/#.VLAai2d0wzs
If one doesn't like "non-Vegas posts", why read them?

Boiler, Like I said above, I am hoping to stir up more Vegas threads. That isn't a bad thing is it? I have already failed at my own challenge since I have been posting in football related threads. i should have thought about the playoffs and college bowl games.
More Vegas threads is a good thing.

Dave in Seattle has been good,so far.

I almost slipped up with the "Sweater melons" post and I think I weaseled out of posting a non-'Vegas post,by at least posting
that I did miss the Ugly Sweater Run in Las Vegas.

Ya see what a BOOB post does?

I plead insanity: I'm just crazy about them.



Now then,let's discuss the latest BJ minimums in 'Vegas:

The minimum bets are usually 5 bucks,downtown with a 3:2 pay off for a natural 21.

Some tables within the downtown casinos DO have the 6:5 BS,so watch out!

Dealers hit soft 17? That's another casino edge.

THAT'S WHY WE ALL HIT SOFT 17! Maybe even double down. Duh.

Just look at the table rules and minimums B-4 you plant your ass down and order a drink.

MOST of the BJ players are not very good players,anyway.

We are, and that is why the casinos try to fool us into playing a table that has restrictive rules.

The "Sheep" just don't know the fine points.

It's about protecting the bottom line because WE go there to gamble.

One more rule I have seen:

You are not allowed to sit in on a BJ game until the shoe has ended.

Again,protecting themselves from the counters that want to jump in when the count goes....+.

MANY more weird rules goes on inside the strip casinos.

One restrictive rule for me is $25 minimums,6-8 decks and none of the decent rules,like downtown.

Unless I have a pocket full of Franklins and am very drunk, will I play that game.

This is kinda lame,but it's a Las Vegas Topic and it is from the Las Vegas Sun from January 18th,2015.

This my rant for the week end.

Hey,where's my beer?

Right in front of me.
