Alrelax's Blog / Fred Smith&Fed EX Almost Broke, 5.8 Billion Today. Without Blackjack Maybe BK?
March 15, 2024, 06:56:57 PM
I wrote about it before and I think it's just simply amazing how Fred Smith kept this company alive for one more week to cover his fuel bills, that led him to $5.8 billion dollars net worth as of this year. Which included taking $5,000.00 to Caesars palace in Las Vegas and winning $27,000.00 to cover a week's extra business life!
Quote from a magazine; "I asked Fred where the funds had come from, and he responded, 'The meeting with the General Dynamics board was a bust and I knew we needed money for Monday, so I took a plane to Las Vegas and won $27,000.' I said, 'You mean you took our last $5,000-- how could you do that?' He shrugged his shoulders and said, 'What difference does it make? Without the funds for the fuel companies, we couldn't have flown anyway.' Fred's luck held again. It was not much, but it came at a critical time and kept us in business for another week."
FROM WIKI:
In 1970, Smith purchased the controlling interest in an aircraft maintenance company, Ark Aviation Sales,[5] and by 1971 turned its focus to trading used jets. On June 18, 1971, Smith founded Federal Express with his $4 million inheritance (approximately $29.8 million in 2023 dollars)[17] and raised $91 million (approximately $690 million in 2023 dollars)[17] in venture capital. In 1973, the company began offering service to 25 cities, and it began with small packages and documents and a fleet of 14 Falcon 20 (DA-20) jets. His focus was on developing an integrated air-ground system. Smith developed FedEx on the business idea of a shipment version of a bank clearing house where one bank clearing house was located in the middle of the representative banks and all their representatives would be sent to the central location to exchange materials.[5]
In the early days of FedEx, Smith had to go to great lengths to keep the company afloat. In one instance, after a crucial business loan was denied, he took the company's last $5,000 to Las Vegas and won $27,000 gambling on blackjack to cover the company's $24,000 fuel bill. It kept FedEx alive for one more week.[18]
In 2003 Smith, along with Robert Rothman and Dwight Schar, purchased a minority share of the Washington Commanders, an American football franchise belonging to the National Football League. The three owned a total of 40% of the team until 2021, when they sold their stake to majority owner Dan Snyder following discontentment with Snyder.[19][20] Smith also owns or co-owns several other entertainment companies, such as Alcon Entertainment.
In 2000, Smith made an appearance as himself in the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away, when Hanks's character is welcomed back, which was filmed on location at FedEx's home facilities in Memphis, Tennessee. A DKE Fraternity Brother of George W. Bush while at Yale, after Bush's 2000 election, there was some speculation that Smith might be appointed to the Bush Cabinet as Defense Secretary.[21] While Smith was Bush's first choice for the position, he declined for medical reasons — Donald Rumsfeld was named instead.[22] Although Smith was friends with both 2004 major candidates, John Kerry and George W. Bush, Smith chose to endorse Bush's re-election in 2004. When Bush decided to replace Rumsfeld, Smith was offered the position again, but he declined in order to spend time with his terminally ill daughter.[23]
Smith was a supporter of Senator John McCain's 2008 Presidential bid, and had been named McCain's national co-chairman of his campaign committee.
Smith was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame and also awarded the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement in 1998.[24] He was inducted into the SMEI Sales & Marketing Hall of Fame in 2000. His other awards include "CEO of the Year 2004" by Chief Executive Magazine[25] and the 2008 Kellogg Award for Distinguished Leadership, presented by the Kellogg School of Management on May 29, 2008.[26] He was also awarded the 2008 Bower Award for Business Leadership from The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[27] He is the 2011 recipient of the Tony Jannus Award for distinguished contributions to commercial aviation.[28]
While CEO of FedEx in 2008, Smith earned a total compensation of $10,434,589, which included a base salary of $1,430,466, a cash bonus of $2,705,000, stocks granted of $0, and options granted of $5,461,575.[29] In June 2009, Smith expressed interest in purchasing the controlling share (60%) of the St. Louis Rams from Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez.[30] In 2009, Smith earned a total compensation of $7,740,658, which included a base salary of $1,355,028, a cash bonus of $0, stocks granted of $0, options granted of $5,079,191, and other compensation totaling $1,306,439.[31]
In March 2014, Fortune Magazine ranked him 26th among the list of the "World's 50 Greatest Leaders".[32]
In March 2022, Smith announced that he would step down as CEO and become executive chairman. He named long-time FedEx executive Raj Subramaniam as his successor.

Wagering & Intricacies / Understand The Power Of Influence
March 12, 2024, 01:41:18 AM
Let's cut the chase and understand the power of influence. Bad influences will affect your wagering and profitability.
1). Expectations that will prevent you from winning and might increase your losses greatly. There are plenty of expectations that players believe in, for example, believing that statistical averages will appear in their favor during the few shoes they play within a session. But there are plenty of other unrealistic expectations and you better define what they are and get rid of them;
2). Oblivious states of mind, where as you convince yourself you can win and buy-in past initial risk capital buy-in over and over. You better come to grips with what the initial risk capital and your buy-in should be and look at it as your chance to win or call it an attempt to win and walk away;
3). Continuously telling yourself excuses for losing hands or not wagering larger amounts on your winning hands. Very dangerous influences that will put you into a completely wrong state of mind you don't want to be in;
4). Senseless play that only leads to grinding you down. There's no way I could define them all because we all have different expectations we believe in, therefore you better think about what grinds you down and how to avoid falling into senseless play. If you think it doesn't happen to you, you are not ready to define it and improve your game yet;
5). Have some type of MMM/PLAN, that you strictly adhere to, with 100% belief.
When winning, never walk away unless you used up the allocation for additional play within your MMM.
One thing I repeatedly tell myself when I get to my personal win amount and my MMM kicks in is that; "If I held onto my winnings with a plan as well as controlled my losses, I would have a hell of a lot of money that I gave back in reckless pursuit of winning more". I consciously say that during most all sessions when I get into the win status, when I do.
Remember, you are responding to what you cannot control. Meaning you're facing a shoe that will produce anything and everything and not adhere to anything you believe in or not and in random order. Therefore results will affect your inner thoughts, with or without your conscious permission. Remember that while at the table!
MMM is not bet selection, such as 1-1-1-2-2-3, or wagering on any number of triggers, etc., etc. Those are bet selection and wagering beliefs. not MMM.
A true MMM Plan, is a solid concrete method that will dictate what to do with your winnings as well as limiting your play when you lose. Period. It also can allocate larger clump wagering with a certain portion of your winnings giving you an advantage, especially with positive progressions allowing you quick profitability in much larger amounts, that most do not engage in or find it difficult to.
Think and think hard about what I am bringing forward here.

AsymBacGuy / Re: Why bac could be beatable itlr
March 11, 2024, 01:35:48 PMQuoteBut I will tell you my worst shoes, where as I lost by the end of the shoe I would average, that I wagered around 25 times.
The shoes that I won, I would average, that I wagered around 40 times.
Definitely this is an interesting thing to think about.
Obviously you should compare how many units you've lost at those 25 hands bet shoes and how many units you have won by wagering 40 times.
In some way we could reduce the 25 and 40 hands by, say a 5 factor, thus getting us 5 bet hands at losing shoes and 8 bet hands at winning ones.
as.
Asym, I will wager a greater amount of hands when I am winning, some are pos progression wagers and others might be just the win money at risk once again. But I almost never do what so many claim, the 1-2 or 3 and stop win for a shoe.
When I am losing, I am looking for the recouping trend and a winning recovery possibility. If you do not play, you cannot win. No matter what the visual/stay out until you see virtual wins, etc., if you don't have money up on the table in play, you cannot win. True you cannot lose also, but your loss will not be recovered either. A wicked catch-22.
And I do have absolutely great, large wins after a period of losses in a shoe. Let's just say at times, it was a 'warm up' period before the end of the 3rd quarter.

Here it is from the government. And I will tell you, it is no game. The casinos enforce it. The world of the SAR is very strong and goes into play between $2,000.00 and $3,500.00 if the player is not a regular known ID on file player, etc.

I don't know your personal hard core betting numbers, just what you write.
But I will tell you my worst shoes, where as I lost by the end of the shoe I would average, that I wagered around 25 times.
The shoes that I won, I would average, that I wagered around 40 times.
Bear in mind, I am not satisfied with a one, two or a few unit win by any means. Likewise, my buy-in is only a small percentage of my bank roll funds and as I have written, is pure risk capital with not much of a stop loss.
What I have found, that suits me best, is attempting in the most aggressive way to get into my M.M.M. stage. And be able to implement my 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd strategy, thus allowing my wagering to be strictly governed by my wins and losses effecting only a portion of my win money.

Let's clarify the auto shuffler and the continuous shuffling machines.
The auto shuffler is used at bac tables as well as other card games that the dealer is not depositing every hand played back into the shuffler. If the dealer is, then it is a continuous shuffling machine.
In baccarat, I have never ever seen them used or heard of them being used.
As far as the auto shuffler being used in bac, they are used with smart self reading shoes as well as without a smart self reading shoe.

In my part if the central to upper Midwest, all I believe are using 8 deck shoes.
The non-Macau style games are all using dual deck continuous shuffle decks. Once the shoe is finished, the dealer removes approximately one deck from the discard tower and washes on the table. Repeats 8 times. Then reinserts into the machine. Removes the other shuffled stack, cuts, burns, places into shoe.
Macau style games are a bit different all over. But most in Midwest and Vegas are basically, pre shuffled shoe in locked plexiglass container is put on table from floor supervisor, zip lock ID cut & opened, deck cut by player if desired and cards burned.
I have witnessed a few casinos willing to do a quick mini shuffle of those after pre-shuffled shoe opened. Depends on property and staff.

Just thought some of you would like to know (as if we already all did not) where the majority of the new members signing on, first or second posts, attempting to insert their Links, Phishing, Spamming and everything related to those 'low-life' computer journey livelihood ventures people originate from.
Pakistan
India
Africa
There are others, but those are the top 3, that I catch, when I run their IP Locations. Yes, some do use USA or other country 'Proxy' servers, but there are ways to catch those as well.
And to reiterate myself and my policies here, I am not against well known and regular posting members inserting links to their posts. However as far as links to online gambling websites, I rather those are not inserted for various reasons.
One of those reasons is that I feel most of them are not honest in their business practices. I tried to deal with a couple of them that are on other forums as well. I have proven their business practices to be dishonest in many ways. If they are dishonest in their business practices, I can only imagine what they engage in with their players.
As far as someone that is honest coming on board here, posting and promoting honest and reputable gaming sites, I am open to that. But, I want to know who the member is beyond an anonymous, by proxy, email contact only, as well as whom the gambling site is with references and certifications, etc., etc. Then the person can sponsor our forum and promote business in a real and open way.
Most likely won't happen because the way I look at those attempting to Link, Spam, Phish, etc., is the same as those that call our cell phones with their robot or off-shore call centers trying to sell after market car warranties, house warranties, burial insurance policies, etc., etc., etc. And if you attempt to redial and call 99% of them back, your cell phone carrier will tell you, the number you reached has been disconnected and is out of service. The more creative ones actually have started using your own area code and first three digits as their originating business number, and it is not. Others have found computer programs to actually show call back numbers of real live businesses and others, that are in no way connected to them. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Right along with those texting they are from the USPS or UPS and there is a package waiting, etc.,etc., just click the link to get it delivered. Oh yeah one more. The one about the $1,537.17 charge to Walmart or Amazon and if we made it there is no action required, but if we did not click the link to stop the pending credit card charge, etc., etc.
So, I have nothing against someone that desires to promote honest and reputable online gaming, but I want to know who the person is as well as the business.

Well, my opinion from actual years of experience.
Caesars Palace. Lots and lots of great times. Great dealers, staff and other personnel. Huge experience and with the casino patron is right personalities, etc. Note: The article with the link refers to mostly 200.00 min tables in high limit. Not true. $100.00/$10,000.00 is the base table and always plenty of them.
Bellagio. Lot and lots of great times as well. Great dealers and staff no doubt. Not as accommodating with casino patrons as Caesars, but case by case basis might change that. Equally a great property with huge high limit room. I am partial to the well known restaurants a bit more than the ones at Caesars, but they are close in taste, style and pricing (if you have to pay out of pocket).
The Mirage. A bit lower class and style than both the above, but had some great trips and games there without a doubt when it was under the MGM umbrella. Have not been there since it was sold and a bit prior to that. Their bac high limit was super great in most all ways.
Gold Coast. Another type of property compared to the above three. Usually crowded and lots of verbal arguments and fighting about anything and everything. Mostly $2,000/$2,500 and $5,000 max tables. Min's depend on crowd and time of day.
Red Rock. Great relaxed and beautiful quiet property. High limit was nice with 4 bac tables. $50/$100-$10,000 max unless you have larger front money or credit account set-up. Very accommodating and players are valuable there.
Planet Hollywood. Had some fantastic times there. Was great all around property for countless reasons.
Lots of comments (neg) about The Wynn, Venetian-Palazzo as well, but will reserve those. Played plenty at another 10 plus properties as well.
The above is the top 5-6 properties IMO.
