For those of you who have never seen or experienced a really well trained Waffle House crew in full on work mode, it is truly something to see.

We've got one of those really good Waffle Houses up on the interstate and when things get crowded in there it's worth it just watch them work. 

No panic, yelling or anything else.  Just calm efficiency and the orders just keep rolling on down the assembly line.

I should video that crew one of these days just to show people what organization looks like.

Big article in today's WSJ about PolyMarket which is one of the big Prediction Market players.

I'm the one in the blue pants when we have our annual "Fun Shoot" at the range.

Team Waffle House!!

Had an interesting session this morning.

Up until today the longest stretch of a single dozen not hitting that I had personally dealt with was 26, which I caught the tail end of while running a Fib progression.  It almost wrecked my day for sure.

However, this morning's session saw a whopping 39 misses in a row on the 3rd dozen about 10 spins into my session.  This was actually good for me as I was running a reasonably safe "following" dozens mode of play and caught a nice streak of 28 wins in a row on that run.

I did start a modified Fib progression after 10 wins and actually got up to a few $100 wagers (the last one lost, obviously) on a $5 table!  (I know, last of the big time gamblers on the $5 table).

Anyway, it was a good morning and watching the lack of the 3rd dozen was fascinating to see.

Hey!  If it's Christmas morning there's only one place for me to be.

Thanks for the data.

Now that I'm playing much more roulette these days, I've been rummaging around some of the sections here and saw that the original post had some dozens results in a L/W format.

Assuming a win would be one unit and a loss would be two units I went and ran the first selection (Weisbaden #1) on a $5 table as a test.

It didn't appear to be all that bad as there were no real losing streaks to speak of and so it wound up making $715 with a simple "up 1 until profit" play.

One of the simplest in the book.

So what did I miss here that made that so difficult?

Was cruising through the threads to see if there was something I could use recently and saw this one.

I've had a BetUS account for like forever but hardly used it as it didn't have any live dealer games up until awhile ago.

Once I knew that I went back in last month to see what they offered.

Well, it appears that FreshDeck Studios and/or LuckyStreak studios is now running their live dealer games.

You have to sift through the chaff of flashy display icons and search around but eventually you do find the actual live dealer games and NOT the automated ones or RNG type games.

Played a few weeks on the baccarat tables and enjoyed it.

Currently working on the roulette tables of which they have several that work well with my style of play and the timing is acceptable.

I still can't understand some of the female croupiers as English probably isn't their primary language, but they get by.

I haven't noticed anything suspicious for now and I do tend to keep track of background activity to see if anything duplicates over the days played.

So, for now I've got BetUS and BetPhoenix as my two primary live dealer casinos and surprisingly have had both of them for over a decade!

Had to make a run to the German Consulate in Miami and figured I could add a trip to the Hollywood Hard Rock casino.

Well that didn't work out due to weather and really horrible Miami traffic so I shuffled off to US41 up the west coast of Florida to avoid the interstate for awhile.

And then I run up on this beauty deep in the swamp land!

Triple zero wheels are an abomination.

Quad zero, or whatever they're disguising it as, is just outright greed.

Well it's that time of the year again.  The National Felons League is on TV and that gives me a reason to get out of the office and make some friendly wagers online and with friends.

As the first week of the season is always a pain to bet on, I went with a tried and true favorite to give me a win.

I took the Bungles giving points to the Brownies.   The Browns never let me down.  They NEVER cover in Week 1.

Uh, wrong.   They covered the spread this week.  This never happens!

Oh well, luckily for me my online book also has a live casino available so I took the loss over to the casino and got that money back on the roulette and baccarat tables.

So, going into the 2nd week of the season, my bankroll is back where it belongs and knowing that I can take the loss from Sunday and pick it up on Monday is nice!

AD

Very interesting.

Thanks.

It's funny that you mention the "table wash" of the cards at the start of the day.

I used to see that a lot but now that I think about it, I haven't actually seen it in a long time at my local casino.

When I would be the only person at the table and a new set of cards came out I could sit right there and watch it right in front of me and usually the dealer would also let me place the cut card when they were ready!!

That hasn't happened in a long time but then, I don't get into the casino early enough to see if they even do that anymore.

Somewhere in one of these Roulette areas is a discussion about stadium type roulette using a live wheel but wagering on individual terminals that you sit down to.   I can't find it so I'll start this thread here.

The "common" complaint is that the wheel is rigged because it knows who the large bettor is and tends to cause that player to lose due to some sort of electronic skullduggery and manipulation of the wheel, ball, air and all sorts of things.

Well, the other day I was the previously mentioned "big bettor" at the table and evidently nobody threw the switch to make my larger wagers lose.  I was the big guy about 85% of the time with the normal wagers and every now and then a larger wager was called for.

They all won. 

When I hit my target for the day I cashed out, took my voucher and left.  Two of the guys who were also on the table asked why I was leaving after continuing to win.   

Told them it was time for lunch.  The casino has a Deli to die for with a corned beef sandwich to make New Youk wish they could be there.

Anyway, it was a very good testing session and I picked up another small idea to help things along.

Live play is always a good crucible for serious testing.  Can't cheat or fudge the results when you've got real money out there, right?

And that there is the problem with the Bitcoin world.  Most people buy Bitcoin (using real money) and then just sit on it hoping it goes up.  It's not actually being used for anything, it's just held. 

And as the majority of buyers have the "Fear of Missing Out" syndrome, they buy right into the play never thinking about when to sell and get "real money" for doing useful things.

I am by no means any kind of expert on crypto currency at all.  Other than my previously mentioned drunken speculation with my buddies, I hold no crypto at all and have no real interest in it.

There are better places to put your money for an "investment" and plenty of other places for good returns on that investment.

It's just not for me but I do enjoy reading about future returns in many of the financial reports.  It should prove interesting moving forward.
