[vpFREE] Re: Best "Misattribution of Cause Story" CONTEST
[vpFREE] Terrible's Casino
Just got this month's Terrible's Casino mailer. It lists Michael Gaughan Jr as the General Manager. I'm guessing that is Jackie's grandson? The previous GM was Mark Stubens for as long as I can recall. Sorry if this is old news that I missed.

$80 bankroll for a $ machine would be my guess

[vpFREE] Some More Mickey Crimm Available
A site in the vpFREE links, videopoker.com , has a massive thread titled "My History in Video Poker" authored by Mickey Crimm. It is appropriately in the VP Stories Forum, dated 29 March 2009.
http://www.videopoker.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2120
It is more than just VP, but runs the gambit encompassing several advantage plays. I particularly like the references to Laughlin, my usual gambling destination.
One of the best episodes is centered around the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall when there was a "Convention of Hustlers", circa River Run 2002. In reviewing my notes I was staying at the Pioneer that Mon/Tues before biker weekend. That River Run is the Harrahs Casino biker gang shoot-out.
I really missed a lot of advantage plays in Laughlin over the years. Ignorance is not bliss.
If you need a dose of Mickey's tales, go visit this thread.

Okay, now I understand your position. It isn't that Bob is threatening Joyce, it's that Bob's action might cause a lower gaming handle for the casino.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: People That Live in Brick Houses Can Throw Stones
I'd say "god" is by far the #1 misattribution of causal relationships, but
as you say religious topics are not appropriate here. Thanks for the
response and congrats on the radio show. I'll listen to the podcast.

______________________________________________
Well if it was an outstanding question contest, you might just have one it.
Answers:
1. I'd like to keep to vpFREE's rules about no religious topics.
2. This story is not negative on religion, it just happens to be about some
guys I went to church with. The point of this story and my current contest
is to show how people can missatribute causal relationships, which is
perfect for vpFREE and very applicable to gambling.
3. I do want to add my voice to humanity's knowledge, I simply choose not to
do that be contradicting peoples beliefs.
4. Discussions are rarely won by contradicting people. To really change
opinions, people must find common ground on things they agree, and then
allow others to come to their own conclusions on the points where they
disagree. Sometimes, this even results in one changing ones own beliefs. It
is the difference between discussion and argument.
5. The story is a direct excerpt from my book, which was intentionally
written to be religiously neutral. It was actually very hard to write a book
about gambling, including the concepts of randomness and probability and not
make it sound like the book was bashing religion. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH MY BELIEFS! It's just history. Religion has come into direct conflict
with probability math so many times throughout the ages it's impossible to
write about it and not sound anti-religious. The first westerner that wrote
about probability was burned at the stake and the second was put under house
arrest...and this was for publishing such controversial stuff as some
equations, and saying, "Hay, some things might just happen randomly". So to
counterbalance this dark history, and make my book more accessible to people
of faith, I was careful to offer their side of the story, and make sure
people didn't blame "god" for things that people did.
6. I saw, and see no point in writing things to contradict religious beliefs
that only an atheist would read. Oddly, that would be "preaching to the
choir".
7. And finally, I know from personal experience how important and powerful
beliefs can be, regardless of their veracity. It is the choice between being
right, or being happy. I can only make that decision for myself. And I can
not find it in my heart to begrudge someone for believing anything that
makes them happy.
Anyway...I hope that explains my attitude toward religious topics, and why I
agree with vpFREE's policy of not talking about them.
Now lets get back on track talking about MIS-ATTRIBUTION OF CAUSAL
RELATIONSHIPS. Obviously any example one gives of this will be about
someone, or group of people that erred. It should be irrelevant to the
discussion if they happen to of a particular faith or not. WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT A SPECIFIC HUMAN ERROR IN COGNITION HERE.

[vpFREE] Re: More High Rollers than Us Regular Guys
I would like to reply to your reply about our lack of reply.
Lack of reply does not mean your information wasn't useful, it means it wasn't controversial.
It's almost an inverse proportional rule. The less replies, the more people agree with you.
It may not be fair, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Watch how this thread blossoms, now that you have made a complaint, rather than merely offering useful and incontrovertible advice.
In the future, merely open any kind offering of information with,
"YOU ARE ALL WRONG!"
Much love,

[vpFREE] Re: The Secret World of Video Poker Progressives
Of course, your gambling bankroll would have grown the fastest if you started with nickels and moved up (or back down) to keep your rolling bankroll around 3000 bet sizes ($750 on five nickles, $1500 on ten nickels, $2250 on fifteen nickels, $3000 on twenty nickels, $3750 on five quarters, $7500 on ten quarters, $11,250 on fifteen quarters, $15,000 on five dollars). All of these denoms existed in the past, some of them (maybe all) still do today.

Eventually you'd hit the ducks or a royal or a wild royal which would give you more daily play time, as long as you don't dip into your gambling bankroll for non gambling activities. If you burn your first royal on a shopping spree instead of adding it to your gambling bankroll, you won't be gambling long.
