Re: [vpFREE] Bob D's no brainer at Palms

 

What a jerk to respond like this.  All this person did was ask a simple question which was probably on the minds of a lot of people who took the time to read the article.  It is a question that given the circumstances of a story about playing in a tournament that would be on one's mind after reading the article.  You didn't have to respond in such a manner.

I also found the article very interesting, but the ending was missing - did he or Bonnie win anything in the tournament after all that effort?

 The short answer is no, neither one of us won anything (other than me winning the $1 from her in side bets that I "forgot" to collect) although I did talk a host into a $25 lunch comp.

The longer answer is, "why do you even care?" Even if you found out I won $1,000, what would that tell you? You still wouldn't know my year-to-date score within $50,000. You wouldn't know my net worth within $1 million. You wouldn't know whether I won or lost $100, $1000, $10,000, $100,000 later that weekend. So if my wealth/bankroll before the event was a big unknown to you, which it was, (big unknown + $1,000) is still a big unknown.

Had I won, it wouldn't have made it a better play. Even though I lost didn't mean it was a bad play. Whether a play is good or bad depends on the information available BEFORE you actually make the gamble. And as I argued in the article, thi s was a good low-roller gamble.
