I recently received an email from a slot director with whom I’m friendly. It read: I’ve had a number of customers ask me what banks in Las Vegas are gambler friendly, meaning they understand how “professional gambler” is an actual profession and as such, banks would be used to multiple deposits, withdrawals etc. in varying […]

An Exception to the Rule
If someone were attempting to describe my “system” of winning at video poker, a reasonable 20-second summary would be: Only play when you have the advantage. Play within your bankroll. If you do the above, over time your bankroll will increase. Yes, there are some nuances, but basically, that’s it. It’s not that complicated. It’s […]

I get inspiration for columns from all sorts of places. This was a question sent in to [email protected] for Richard and me to answer on the podcast. I will answer it there the next time we have a “Bob and Richard answer their mail” show (which is usually when we haven’t been able to schedule […]

I’ve Heard This One Before
In my classes, I often get out-of-town students. Whether I am teaching Quick Quads, Ultimate X, Deuces Wild, or whatever, there are often students who decided long ago that they are going to take at least one Bob Dancer class — and this is the week they’re in Vegas. Often, they come with a video […]
When You’re No Longer Welcome
Let’s assume that your local casino has taken away your player’s card, meaning you can no longer receive most of the benefits from playing there. For the sake of today’s discussion, you are still allowed to play there without a card if you like. Further, assume that you insist on playing with an edge or […]
