Hopefully this is on topic.

You have made me very aware, over the years, of the fact all gamblers have different goals.

For example, I will only play a positive game since I live out of state and do not get to take advantage of local promotions. However, I do get free rooms and some food comps which is great for a quarter player.

I have a friend that lives in Vegas and she is all about the comps for being 7 Star. She cannot understand at all why I play the way I do. However, I know for a fact that she is down every year $8,000 to $10,000 playing double-double: But, she gets unbelievable comps which are probably worth $20,000+(prepaid vacation?).

I go for the cash, she enjoys what she does and is able to take advantage of comps that could never work for me.

I have fun and usually leave ahead:) Each to their own.

James

Keep up the good work in enlightening us to the best of your ability. And what about part 2 of your poignant personal story?

What about your story, let the people bicker at will: lets get on with the part II & III, of how you got here!

You and Brad have been successful in no small part because you’ve largely been on the same page.

Everyone learns in a different way. You sure make learning a fun way even on subjects that we haven’t experienced yet.
I feel that you certainly paint a wonderful picture with your words. I love attending the school in the “kindom” of Queen Jean.
