Recently I wrote a column about me growing up gambling-wise at the Cavendish West, which was a gin and backgammon club in the West Hollywood part of greater Los Angeles. If you didn’t read it the first time, it may be found here. I mentioned that I lost my bankroll and had to get a […]

Wrong Conclusion
A square-dancing friend, Sal, was telling me how happy he was that he finally learned to play Full Pay Deuces Wild. He had studied the Winner’s Guide, practiced on Video Poker for Winners, and in the last two months had averaged about $30 per hour in profit on about 5-6 hours of play per week […]
Learning the Wrong Lesson
Most of us continue to learn as we progress through life. A 70-year-old man has many more life experiences than a 20-year-old. Most 20-year-olds have more recently been a student and have a more flexible mind than their grandparents, but their grandparents have been in many more situations and have learned from them.

Where I Grew Up
Someone pointed me to an article in a West Hollywood publication about the Cavendish West. I was surprised to find that I was quoted in the article as the author never spoke to me. He did, however, paraphrase some things I’ve said on the radio show. The Cavendish West is the place where I learned […]

2016: A Year of Long Shots, or was it?
As 2016 comes to a close I was reflecting on some of the events that occurred this year, and the associated probabilities with those events. I also contemplated these events occurring independently, and as part of a sequenced parlay bet. Most of the time year’s go by with no real deviations from the norm. But […]
Losing Perspective
As I mentioned last week, Bonnie and I recently cruised the Mexican Riviera. One purpose of the trip was so that Bonnie could rest. She had a fall not so long ago, straining some muscles and tendons in her back, and the doctors have said the best thing for her is to rest and to […]
Do You Have What it Takes?
Bonnie and I recently cruised the Mexican Riviera on NCL, courtesy of Penn National — in particular M Resort. We’ve vacationed several times on the same cruise line courtesy of Harrah’s/Caesars, but this time it was from somewhere else. I packed a lot of M logo shirts — of which I have dozens. Perhaps two […]
