When your objective is to play for "score" or "ranking"

gosh, this thread is continuing? I have nothing to add. my friend in New York has nothing to add -- in fact, we haven't talked anymore about this. Oh Jenaphir, why don't you just come out and tell everyone exactly what you think-- or know? That Im some high priced Hollywood star who has nothing better to do than sit around and make up stories for LVA between movie shoots and TV appearances? come on now, if youre going to be creative, be creative.

edited to add: I'd love to post some more about this but I have to run off for a meeting with a producer about my next role, TV contract, and sponsor endorsements. You know that jenaphir. And sorry Jen, studio security has been notified. Don't forget to also tell everyone else that I just spent a year in rehab.

Is that you, Whoopie?

If you win the most money, would that not give you more money to play? Wpuld that not give you more tier points?

The over / under is 63. Whats the bet? Our standard $1.00 Road Trip? I think you will be a winner. I have a bet with a "friend" for $1.01 that you will be the winner on this over / under.

remember the time this dude asked ME if i was crazy??

ps - my name is not "jen". its jennifer.

Money....

I've asked for an explanation to better understand your quote:

You have avoided any response to that particular "sub-topic" in this thread. More than once.

Why?

I really want to understand why you think there is a difference.

"I really want to understand why you think there is a difference."

RT, are you REALLY sure you want to know???? LOL

I'm thinking that you've taken the over on the 15 page thread line and you're trying to cover your bet! LOL

In the past, I would have jumped in the middle of this but I'm proud to say that I left this and the double booking thread alone.....so easy to want to jump in but restraint is the new me in my "senior" years.

Have fun but I'm thinking I'll take the under.

Actually, I would not have asked (3 times) if I did not want to know. When a statement is made that I am not quite able to grasp, I want to understand what is being said, and why.

As far as the over/under, no one set a line, so I have no action.

I did make a friendly wager with my friend, and inseparable companion. He's a "little person", almost always by my side, often prefers to sit on my shoulder and whisper in my ear. We talk about so many things, and he often influences me by offering additional input during my decision making process.

Too bad he's invisible.

Some of you would like him.



Don't worry, I don't let him use my computer, and he does not know my passwords.

Is he a space alien with a disproportionally large head?

Look roadtrip, please read again my original post. I simply referred a question that came out of a discussion with a friend of mine who is a craps player and lives in NY. As I said in the initial post: "This one came to me out of left field, because I never had any kind of discussion like this before." And I wrote: "OK, this is beyond me."

Well guys its still beyond me. And I dont care anymore. Ive done my job -- I referred a question. You gave me answers. It's over, and thank you very much.

but just as an aside: my friend as I said is a craps player who is very unhappy with how his tier score and comps are measured, and when I told him how my tier score and comps increased dramatically with the same budget playing VP it got his attention. My problem with getting rated at table games is that you, the player, must be vigilent and constantly monitor that your bets and time are being recorded properly. He has had the same problems.

Now roadtrip, in an attempt to answer your question, his goal was not to win money. his goal was to find a way to play a game where for a limited amount of money he could maximize tier points and comps. In other words, find a game that he could break even on every play -- and he could play a million hands and score a lot of points without a loss. he honestly doesnt give a hoot about video poker. he throws dice. he plays in AC and at Foxwoods and he plays every weekend. But when I tell him that here at the end of March I already have 80,000+ tier points (and he understands the system) he is amazed that his play at craps hasn't earned him anything like that.

thats how I understand his motivation. after this discussion, another friend of ours suggested finding a rapid roulette game that would give credit for both black and red simultaneous bets, since my other friend was told black/red would not be rated at a live game. the small house advantage on the black/red game would also fit his needs for what he wants to accomplish.

before I got into VP about five years ago, I only played craps. And I perfectly understand what is going on with craps players being "under rated."
