I shake my head, with a half smile reading about this topic.
after probably close to 20,000 hours of being a full timer, until perhaps only a couple of years ago, the number one thing that I do not miss is the arogant, nastiness of Casino personnel.
My take is no matter how much you toke, it's never enough. On occasion, with all my gaming hours of experience, I sometimes look back and ask myself why I didn't put all my experiences into print.....no regrets.
However, if I did, I would emphasize I'm not taking any shortcuts, especially looking at how good the games were when I started and how pathetic overall they are now.
with that being said,
It would be extremely advisable when out in the gaming environment, to stay on focus and not being intimidated." What they think of me is none of my business "has been one of my mantras to keep me on Focus as the back offs will come no matter what, if you are truly successful....... they also come to those who are not winning players and not successful. Mathmatical preciseness without camouflage in deteriorated gaming environments found almost everywhere is more important now more than ever.
I'll end by saying, never a fan
of illustrious 18, as knowing all, all the index numbers are so important. My total focus and dislike for casinos has lead to success equaling expected value.
Now beginning players, go do the right thing,
