I don’t lose.
You have 9 casinos using one deck black Jack. One is on the strip.
My Company car became a Jag….paid for in cash. Casinos offer us rides to other casinos. There is a reason….
You stay out of casinos….your Master’s fails you.

How many single decks do you encounter in a casino? Answer ZERO.
I can win 4,000 in four hours on a craps table. Duplicate the effort on a multiple deck typical black jack table.
You can’t. There’s a reason you stay out of casinos….

I’ll go with payoff odds.
The house can’t control the dice. I decided to play alone one afternoon. Everyone else had left. Had a ball joking with the table crew.
I learned from two “Good ole boys” that shot dice in the alleys in Birmingham, AL, playing for lunch money. Both were Electrical Engineers that worked for Boeing in Seattle. Learned their methods, shooting in Spokane at the Indian Casino.
Hate playing in Las Vegas. Rather play in Reno.

Been to the final table twice playing pocket. Hate playing tourists.
Craps, I can be at an open table alone, and home with cash. Playing against the dice. House has zero control.

The best odds in the house is the Craps table.
The worst is everything else.
I go to Mississippi twice a month.
Always ask for a check instead of carrying $ 100 bills.

For fans, it’s kin to going to Daytona. Sit at turn one on the first row. Brilliant view of the straight away. But anything else on the track…you miss the race. Puff of smoke, by the time you look….five cars wrecked and you never know what happened.

Gus was an emerging disaster.He was getting worse by the year. You can’t ignore the offense line and defense….hoping to survive another year.
Face it, you all bought into the hype….without a down having been played.
I see shades of Bo Nix, take the snap, then run like hell.
No running backs behind this line. Pass routes slowly develop. Defense missing from last year.
Better pray they get better fast.

Biggest blown call….ended in a flag pick up.
Blocking in front of me. Last second two different things taking place. Receiver on a track to make a questionable block……at the same moment another receiver blocks my view for a second. Action made it appear that first blocker contacted the DB. Reaction was the anticipated flag throw. Tackle…..blow, the whistle, snap shot. Ran to the second set of eyes on play. White Hat had the back angle. Asked one question. “ Did 42 make the block ? “
“ No, he missed.” “ pick up my flag, I got blocked at the moment of contact.”
Simple announcement “There was no flag on the play.”
The game is a counting game. Every play without fail. One night, counting defense, 9, 10, 11, 12….again, same result, flag whistle….illegal substitution. 12th man snuck off the field…he was behind the back judge, who never saw him. Count again 9,10, 11……punt returner on my sideline, left the field as we argued on the field. Call reversed…Coach tells me “our punt returner got on the field early….he was the one you caught…trouble ? No one else on field had counted on the play. Halftime….excuses by everyone else, distracted, conversation, now paying attention…….white Hat went ballistic at halftime. Every play in the second half….thumbs up.

I officiated in Florida for 25 years.
At the time the test was 100 questions. To officiate high school required a score above 70 percent
Playoff games required a score above 80%
Youth on Saturday….about 150-250 a weekend.
Normal season high school take home over $2000.
My wife’s Christmas was that check. Football widow, didn’t begin to define her sacrifice in the season. We decided to take the check, then shop together to see she got. She bought a new set of golf clubs one year. We made a game out it
I did Semi Pro from Jan to May. More money fewer hours.
When Florida added the game official law….the attacks on officials died quickly. We get escorted on and off the field each game.
What you don’t see as a fan….is the betting in the stands down to the level of youth football.

How about reducing the Federal Regulations to build and operate refineries?
Regulations impact construction costs and add to operation costs.
The California crap is due to fake greenhouse issues.

Long way to go.
Fortunately, the coaches made adjustments and turned this into the right direction.

Hasn’t that been a problem for years now?
And hilariously, you believed the short window hype….and expected immediate cures.
Zac and the news media were allowed to see them for short intervals….then shown the door. They don’t see the team the entire practice.
I laughed at the 9-2 projections from some on this board.

Your display in idiotic stupidity proceeds you.
Lived in Japan for six years, then corrected all of the security system errors in military bases across Europe.
You played with yourself at home in the US.
I’m impressed by your level of stupid.

Asked my Father the question.
“You raised three boys, all staunch Conservatives. Yet you have been a life long Democrat .Why?”
“Because every time a Democrat got elected I got a pay raise.”
“It’s too bad that shipped sailed when Kennedy was murdered. Now your party hates you.”
