I did not know Coach V is a retired professional handicapper. I hope the Coach can share some info on his career. I would be very interested to hear the details of the process from a professional.
What is with all the Frank bashing! I find his posts very entertaining. It is good to have a new voice with some unique experience on this forum.

Fascinating. These casinos, it's like a soap opera. Thanks for the article. Excellent!
[vpFREE] Palms Casino Update
For those of you who like to play the 1c 50 play 9/6 JoB by the food court at the Palms, they have added four more of these.
They are uprights against the outside wall of the high limit room on the side towards the Mint Lounge. Like the other bank, in addition to 1c 9/6 JoB, these also have 25c 8/5 BP and 9/7 DB.
WTG, Palms!

[vpFREE] Re: Atlantis Bahamas
I stopped there while on a tour of Nassau last year. The setting is indeed awesome, I was impressed the most by the walk-around tropical fish aquarium. While I do not recall the exact payout on the VP, it was pretty dismal.

Re: [vpFREE] Winning at VP with house advantage
Was there a house advantage at that level? Anyone with the bankroll to play it probably has little need of the jackpot.

Thank you Coachvee and Dunbar. I ended up betting on Nehro to win based on your analysis and while I didn't win, the bet was sound and made the race more exciting. In addition an online book was returning $15 in casino chips on a $30 losing bet, so I feel that, with your assistance, I entered into a sound overlay.
