Bump.  From 5 years ago. 

Ron Paolucci, whose Loooch Racing Stable won multiple leading owner titles in Ohio and ranked second nationally by wins in 2017 and 2018, was sentenced on Sept. 16 to 52 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $38.9 million in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.

On a side note here about The Wynn casino in Vegas.  I never had any problems whatsoever depositing and withdrawing of Front Money at the tables, except for The Wynn. 

I was in Vegas several years ago and a close California friend, that usually stays at The Wynn was there playing and I popped in.  I quickly gave Front Money, signed a CTR and got ID'd, etc., etc., at that one person VIP cash counter right there adjacent to their bac tables. 

At the table, I signed the slip of paper to withdraw half of my deposit and the pit manager looks on the computer, nothing.  He proceeds to call the lady at the counter that did my transaction and I also gave him my receipt.  Still nothing.

Now I am aggravated and frustrated.  My buddy told the guy, that knows him well to give me what I wanted, hold my receipt and let's get the shoe on the road.  He said he couldn't.  So my buddy gives me what I wanted in his chips and another floor manager came over and asked my friend not to do that. 

My buddy told them they are being ridiculous and we are going to play.  We did.  Of course I lost pretty quick.  Finally the pit said it's all figured out now and I can have withdrawals from my account. 

I told them forget it, I will go back to the Belligo and Caesars where they don't play games with Front Money deposits. 

QuoteI tried to draw attention to this all the way back in the Gambler's Glen days. I called it the effectiveness states. It is the ability to ignore the biases. It's one thing to see a trend or a pattern. It's another to know if it is in a coincidental phase of working temporaraly or not. Knowing is everything.

Thanks again Mark.  Using this reply for a BUMP.  Your still around in my thoughts.  Thanks, Glen.

OMG!  I simply love this 'Real Life No Bull' sheriff in Florida. 

He explains the attorney and his gambling pulsating desires!  AND ITS UP TO 4 MILLION DOLLARS NOW!

No better than this, please watch.

QuoteWhat's this (I mean the numbers)?

1-10 (Strong and Follow whatever is appearing)

11-16 (Stronger or Immediately turning weak and follow)

as.

The numbers represent Hands 1-10 and Hands 11-16 (although probably should be 11-20). 

I have witnessed the highest amount of strong hands/events occurring from jump street within the shoe, as well as subsiding.

Also in addition, Fortune 7s appearing.  At least for 1 or 2.

That is where I get those two sets of numbers and what they designate. 

My way of picking out extremes.  Don't care what they are, chops, streaks, doubles, 1s and 2s, etc., etc.

Set aside all fallacy, all statistics and all of your desires of what should or shouldn't work, as follows:

Apply 0-1-2-3 Low Tie

Just One More

Equalization

1's and 2's

Bead Plate (Follow with the appearing right side)

1-10 (Strong and Follow whatever is appearing)

11-16 (Stronger or Immediately turning weak and follow)

Half'ish' Changes (Follow or Not.  Be prepared)

The above 8 are the most common and in my best interest the highest majority of the times to follow and wager with.

OMG, I most certainly 1,000,000% believe you! 

As you said:

"Extremes" rarely happening make the fortune of recreational players or of those very rare acute players capable to ride those unlikely situations; everything different than that will make the casinos' fortune or creating the basis where professionals will make money."

Yes, 'extremes' most certainly come and go with no protocols except gut feelings the highest majority of the times.  I have made handsome amounts of money when most others were either losing or stumbling enormously on the 'extremes'. 

One has to have a totally clear as well as a neutral mind-set when at the felt.  There is no other way, IMO. 

To Recap.  Reality on the Felt.

Set aside all fallacy, all statistics and all of your desires of what should or shouldn't work.

Totally unbelievable!!

But on the other hand, why not??

"Wynn Las Vegas, a subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, on Friday signed a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California and the U.S. Department of Justice to end an investigation. Wynn agreed to forfeit $130.1 million in funds involved in the transactions in exchange for not being prosecuted, the company said."

"I would gamble until I exhausted our family's savings, my law firm's profits; all the while avoiding reality and any type of feeling (which is the only way I can explain not fearing the consequences of my irrational and immoral behavior)," the letter says. "And then, once I received more money, I would gamble and lose those monies."

2 simply great and extremely profitable shoes!  I will explain later.  The first with a F7 on the 1st hand of the shoe.  Then full pro progressions and ride that streak. 

The second shoe with its 4 fortune 7s and the ending was simply unprecedented with the 4 iar ties that reduced each side to a 0-0 tie.  Seen a couple iar or same shoe, but never ever 4 iar!

I will explain most details later tonight or tomorrow.  Again, extremely interesting, off the wall, and lots of one-of-a-kind events happened in both shoes. 

THINK

Do not take the preset, "I am going to wait for Such-N-Such" and "I am going to wager for "So-N-So".  Meaning a series of chops-a long streak-doubles, etc.  Because waiting for the presentments to match your desires will usually never keep going past when you finally start to wager on those.  And the few times it does, the times they do not will far outweigh the times they did! 

Usually and so often, the above is engaged in because of previous experiences and your desire for those to return so you can wager "correctly".  Be real careful and conscious of that!

And the scoreboards.  Ask yourself why the casinos invest in those scoreboards and the maintenance of them.  We actually did a heck of a lot better and allowed a greater amount of concentration and self control when those where not around!

Reference comparing shoes and even the shoe in play.  Before vs. Now, is dangerous to your buy-in most of the time.  Keep it Now vs. Now.  A concept so simple, but yet so difficult to most all bac players.  Why, I don't know but it is.

Things work until they don't.  That is the way the game is.  Nothing to figure out, nothing to code, no statistics to research.  It is a given.  PERIOD!  And that is what most all players can never comprehend and use to their advantage. 

You should concentrate on; 1). Turning smaller wagers into larger wins with the minimum amount of risk.  2). Recouping the "initial risk drawdowns" and multiplying the initial risk amount by several times.  3). Being conscious enough to separate win, in-play and your risked monies.  This is for a reason and the reason is Advantaged Skill, I promise you!

Why do I say what I did in the above paragraph?  Because you ARE NOT impervious!  You will be affected by various presentments of the shoe in one way or another.  Admit it or not.  You will be.

Bac gaming is a lot more than picking one side or the other for no reason.  It really really is and that is REALITY!
