I hate to be a nitpicker here, but just for the record: Full-pay Double Bonus Poker’s EV is not 100.7%, but rather 100.17%.

Love your stories, and I think frugality had a meltdown, shelping at 107 degrees from the front desk at Circus Circus, back and forth to the “dormitories”in July.

My husband was a runner in his younger days and always seemed to walk much quicker in the heat, even pulling suitcases!!!

Thanks for the info and all those memories.

We had a great run one year . On a $250.00 a week budget I earned a diamond statis at Harrahs and got all the bells and whistles for one whole year we enjoyed the free shows,rooms , and parties ( New Years was the best)
We also met you ,Brad was in a tournament at Caesars . I was so happy to get to talk to you and learn how kind and down to earth person you are,
One disappointing thing learned HARRAHS did not try to woo us back with special offers , I realized their attitude is IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE CHAIR PLAYING SOMEONE ELSE WILL FILL IT.
Thanks for all you share and do

I hit my first Royal on those Empress DB progressives on our first trip there within a 1/2 hour of sitting down. The regulars were not pleased. I bought Lenny Fromme’s book when I realized waiting to be lucky wasn’t going to cut it. The riverboats were fun but we always preferred Vegas or NOLA. Really enjoy reading about your adventures. It’s brings back some lovely memories of our own.

I love reading about your adventures. Can’t wait until the next one comes out. Give yourself credit for changing our gambling based on your TV piece and your books. My wife is now pretty much a full time VP player and I play it quite often. I still like blackjack and the poker table, though. Thanks for all you do, Jean.

Very interesting to learn how you handled your stays in Las Vegas. Inspired by you, we took the city bus once on the strip during the summer to get from one end to the other. Too hot and too crowded. I admire your frugality, but the cost of discomfort is something we always factor in. That was years ago. Thank goodness Uber was invented. The cost is well worth the convenience.
