Last week I wrote about a juicy game that lasted for several years in 15-machine pubs in greater Las Vegas. If you read that article first, this one will make more sense. Near the end of the time when this game was available, the manager of one of these pubs asked if I could meet […]

Gambler’s Bonus Reminiscences – Part I of II
For a five-year period ending about a decade ago, I played a lot at certain 15-machine pubs in the southeastern section of the Las Vegas valley.

“S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E!” sixty people shouted as my wife Bonnie entered her sister’s house. Her 75th birthday party was off to a noisy beginning. I sighed in relief. We had pulled it off. All the invitations and such had been sent out and responses received with Bonnie having no clue. I had ordered a cake from BabyCakes, […]
Ethics Vs EV
Last week a story broke detailing a botched start time for a group of South Korean baseball games that were scheduled to begin after midnite. The main line services had the time right but one group of books got it wrong. It had the games starting much later, and as a result bettors, still up […]
