KC  didn't even score a touchdown........if you were a las vegas casino bookmaker-manager, what odds would have put up that KC would not score a touchdown?    10,000 to 1       20,000 to  1 ?

KC lost because they had 3 substitutes on the offensive line so Mahones was constantly rushed which took away the pass game and the running game...also it looked like mahones was hurting on his knee or foot....he got beat up bad.

The offensive line are the most important players in football......if they suck, the QB can't pass and there are no holes for the running backs to run through the line........lucky if a team can score 13 points with a bad offensive line.

And yet people never ever learn. The same for casinos but they just use different tactics. The wherewithal and the knowledge of gamblers is totally overwhelmed by their own greed.

And also overwhelmed by their own stupidity.

At your online casino, how long does it take to receive a withdrawal..........and is it by check or direct deposit to your bank?

Here is an article about gambling whales.......are you a whale?

Vegas is out of action for at least another year until there is a vaccine...and even then, many people will choose not to get vaccinated, so there is still a chance the virus will keep on spreading.

And this place is expected to open next July in Vegas....what a nightmare....talk about bad timing!!!

The casino business is tough........   you   can not trust anyone.

This should be interesting.

Las Vegas Bookmakers should post a bet to estimate the over/under as to how many people will be infected during the Sturgis motorcycle get-together........  and another bet as to how many will be infected as they return home.

The Strurgis motorcycle meeting is a perfect example of why a vaccine may not have much effect as to eliminating the virus.

Even if they develop 2 or 3 vaccines, I think we may be heading for a catastrophe if a worst case happens...which is if a vaccine has serious side effects ( or even death ) no one will get get vaccinated ....in addition there will be the usual idi*ots who will believe some conspiracy theory that the vaccine is a government plot to kill people.......and then there are the people who  are anti all vaccines who will not get vaccinated ......and then there are the other idi*ots who will not wear a mask because it it affects their "freedom"..............and the flu season starts in a few months and no one knows the side affects of any vaccine taken with the flu shot...so maybe 30% to 40 % will not get vaccinated and keep spreading the virus....and the federal government just can't keep spending 2 to 3 trillion dollars every 3 months to keep the economy afloat and hyperinflation will eventually set in and  money will be worthless just like Germany in the 1920's. ( it cost 4 Billion Deutch Marks to buy a loaf of bread )

And then "civil unrest" will start because there will be literally millions of people who will be evicted from the homes who have very little to eat.

Just reading some recent news items about car jacking and robberies occurring in broad daylight now ..
so some suggestions   .1. If you stop for gas, check out if anyone looks suspicious before you get out to pump gas, once you get out of your car, you are defenseless.  2. Buy a cheap cell phone and if you get robbed, give them the cheap phone. 3. But a cheap wallet and put $10 in it with a bunch of papers so the wallet  looks full and hand over that wallet if you get robbed.4. Sad to say but you may have to get a gun and a concealed carry permit and be prepared to use it. If you live in a house, buy a shot gun and 1 or 2 pistols and hide them in various places in case of a home invasion.... actually only a shot gun is effective since it is extremely difficult to hit someone with just a pistol..with a shot gun you have a better chance of hitting someone if you just aim in the general direction.

P.S. Vegas may be finished for the next 2 or 3 years. with only 5 or 6 casinos being able to stay open

You better wear a mask if you go to a Las Vegas casino

What's amazing about these old car chases is that they are real cars an real drivers.......today the "chases" are just computer graphics.....in the 1980's when these chases were filmed there were no computers and graphics so it was all real photography. 

The most amazing shot from To Live and Die in LA was at minute 3:58 when the stunt driver passes right in front of a moving freight train ...................absolutely incredible......one mistake and he is dead.

This one is pretty good too. I lived in Los Angeles for 25 years and travelled on the freeways and  I don't know how they filmed the freeway scene at the end of the video......absolutely incredible and the stunt drivers are amazing.   



The movie "To live and die in LA" was pretty good too.

I think the Park MGM in Vegas ( formerly the Monte Carlo hotel in Vegas )  just became a             non smoking hotel ..which may be a smart move since probably about 80% of the vegas visitors do not smoke and if they can capture a significant number of customers then maybe a few other vegas casinos may follow ..just like a few casinos dropped the parking fees due to virus ...but I think as soon as business picks up the parking fees may come back.

By the way, casinos don't care one bit if an employee or customer gets lung cancer from inhaling about 2 packs a day of  second hand smoke.....its all about the money

Basic math for gamblers:

Online casinos = Caveat Emptor

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"   George Santayana

1776                 USA Founding Fathers ( Unjust representation )

1789 France      Maximilien Robespierre ( Unjust representation, income inequality )

1917  Russia      Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov  ( Poverty stricken peasants, famines, income inequality, caught in a seemingly endless war )             Slogan -     Land    Peace      Bread

1933  Soviet Union    Ioseb Besarionis dzе Djugashvili  "The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a million people is a statistic"

1959  Cuba   Fidel Castro  ( Corrupt government,  poverty stricken peasants, income inequality)

The problem with online casinos is that the result of a decision ( player or banker in baccarat, or the spin of a roulette wheel etc ) is not dependent on the hand dealt by a deck of cards or the spin of a roulette wheel, but the result is determined by the RNG and the cards or the roulette ball is displayed according to the result of the RNG ,,,,and the RNG knows in advance how much is bet on player or banker or how much is bet on a roulette number or even chance.

Personally i would have to be crazy to play that type of game.

At least with live land based casinos, you are assured of getting an honest game ( doesn't mean you will win, but at least you didn't get cheated.)  And you don't have to wait 1 or 2 weeks to get your money,,,you can cash out in a few minutes and you don't have to worry about the online casino stealing your money such as this famous case involving online poker.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Tilt_Poker

Actually in high stakes poker, you have a very good chance of being cheated in a live casino poker game or a home live game  where 2 or more players are playing as a team and giving signals to each other as far as to what cards they are holding as well as various other means of cheating.

Basically it all means you can't trust any company or any person when money is involved.,,,,,especially lots of money.
