Thousands of people who bought the software have done that. However, there are no plans on my part to do that commercially. It is very time-consuming to "tweak" a strategy chart to make it reader-friendly. Dancer's charts are readily available and they give choices from "basic" to "very advanced" - which covers the needs for most players. Also, Paymar offers strategy charts.

Is there a casino anywhere that is a worse play for VP players with 1M coin in every six months? Needless to say, I no longer play there.

Joel: I get the frustation. It's been almost ten years since I set foot in Fx and I just cashed in my points at Foxsun a couple of months ago. I've gotten over it. I refuse to get beaten up. I have a trip planned to LV on Jan 23 to Feb 1. I enjoy the play. Things have certainly changed in LV over the years, however you still feel as though you have A CHANCE TO WIN. I gamble a little less now, but I have a larger bankroll for some places that appreciate my business. The less you go to the local places the better you like it...save your bucks for a fair play...Rod

Looking at mine, they are called "Frugal Strategy Cards," but were "by Skip Hughes." Maybe if you search for Skip Hughes cards, you would be able to find some that resellers still have. Another option are the Dan Paymar strategy cards, from which there are 18 to choose.

[vpFREE] Re: Long Term
Thank you all I have found it. Someone emailed me a direct link.
I still can't get to it from my browser from the vpFREE forum for some reason but I can access it directly.
Thanks!

[vpFREE] Re: Royal Flusher 40th Trip
I agree that the Flusher is one funny Canadian (see vintage SCTV tapes for some amusing hosers). A while back he revealed that he had solved the problem of a too-long trek between his hotel room and his car by booking a room in the middle of the El Cortez parking garage.

It sounds like you are looking at the vpFREE homepage:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vpFREE/
Scroll down below the photo of the royal and you will see
a list of links one of which is "FAQ". Click on it and you
will go here: http://members.cox.net/vpfree/FAQ.htm
FAQ #8 is about Long Term and N0.

Once upon a time there was a casino in the middle of no where in CT with little competition that was a pretty decent play.

But that was all a dream that ended about six months.

Is there a casino anywhere that is a worse play for VP players with 1M coin in every six months? Needless to say, I no longer play there.

[vpFREE] Re: Any way to get Jean Scott strategy cards anymore?
The Jean Scott cards were actually Skip Hughes cards, which have been unavailable since Skip became ill before he passed away. Looking at mine, they are called "Frugal Strategy Cards," but were "by Skip Hughes." Maybe if you search for Skip Hughes cards, you would be able to find some that resellers still have. Another option are the Dan Paymar strategy cards, from which there are 18 to choose.
