[vpFREE] Re: Ernie Moody - 2012 Hall of Fame Inductee

 

Admins-

There you go. One member who was on the ballot along with several other members are in favor of full disclosure.

If you are still concerned with embarrassment, why not give nominees the right to opt-out of having their results made public. If anyone opts-out by a certain date then you can simply withhold their results while releasing the rest.

Thanks
Mac

[vpFREE] FW: More Points, More Cash Back! Introducing Sycuan Casino's Point PowerBoost!

 

Assuming that you had the bankroll to get to the top tier, and if they have video poker machines that pay close to break even (i.e, 9/6 JOB) and assuming that the normal cash back is the standard San Diego County 0.1% , would it be possible to get in to positive territory based on 1) Getting to the top tier multiplier, 2) allowing for free play cash offers as you increase the coin in, 3) allowing for estimated comps earned as you play more, and 4) most important, does anyone have a good idea of what they have to offer in terms of machines with decent paybacks for all denominations?

According to this you would get triple, I would get double at our present card levels. While this is not a major decrease in the house edge it is an improvement in the cash back. If they have a decent payback video poker game with max coins, allowing for this, upgrading in tier levels (assume we can bankroll it by spending the time to get there) we could get above 100% return at times allowing for offers, comps, and these point multipliers.

I disagree. Not all biases are bad, some are good and some are bad. Bayes' Theorem provides a way to judge the value of our biases and to adjust them should they need adjustment. So, fixed biases may be bad, such as the bias that no machines are fixed, which is obviously wrong because we know some machines were in fact fixed in the recent past and we know, or should know, that we should be very skeptical about anything involving casinos. I'm not saying that 50% of machines are fixed or flawed, but perhaps 1% or .1% or .01%, something like that. The same goes for table games dealers, 50% of them aren't capable of being card sharks, but perhaps 1% or .1% or .01% are. And of course some biases are in the player favor, those are good to find. It's the same as roulette wheels, most are fully balanced and totally unbiased, but some are not:

[vpFREE] Re: XVP - Looking for Show Tickets

 

Question, I am a local and have heard that locals get discounts on s how tix.  Do we have to go to a special website to get them, or right at box office during purchase? Thanks in advance.

Speaking as a nominee who anticipated no actual votes, the nomination, in itself, was more than sufficient ego gratification.

Given the caliber and strength of the rest of the slate, I'm hard pressed to imagine anyone would feel slighted should they have garnered few votes, the votes having instead been cast in favor of some of the greater luminaries on the list.

The strength of any democracy comes, in part, from open disclosure. If some participants in the vote seek an accounting, I don't see any harm in providing it, the privilege of administrative discretion notwithstanding.

[vpFREE] XVP - Looking for Show Tickets

 

Hi Gang,

I will be in town (for CES) Jan 5 - 11, and am interested in tickets for
any of the cirque shows, and possibly Blue Man Group.

If anyone has access to seats for these at a good price, please mail
me privately. We'll work something out.

I'm staying at Fiesta Henderson, Orleans, and Sams

Brian.
