Well Foatie didnt die (I dont think) - Page 3 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Only 91% of the spins are either red/black or odd/even - that extra zero has doubled the house edge and no one notices it. At Cosmo - and I assume most places - you have to play 100 min a spin to play a single zero wheel.

No - its based solely on where the ball lands - they arent tracking bets.

When it says “46% red” it just means the ball landing on red that much - if youd bet red every spin then thats how often you won.

That’s the majority of live low stakes games in US casinos. At least the ones I’ve played at. People play in a way to make their stack last as long as possible, not to make money.

I was under the impression everyone knew that, at least around here. I remember there was some uproar last year when Planet Hollywood introduced triple zero.

47.4% is what you would expect for red/black each and 5.3% for one of the zeros.

Made one more footie bet and lost it so lost 3/4 bets for about 2k total - in spirit of trip ran a yellow 1k chip into a little over 7k at craps table.

Eating at Jaleo again and then one last BJ session after. Unless I book a huge win (seems unlikely since about due to have an awful session), thats a wrap for the TR. Enjoyed it and glad to book a win.

BTW the $55 tasting menu at Jaleo is the best value dinner option on the strip and I am ready to die on that hill.

Those look like some amazing meals

Also, clearly you need to quit betting footie and be a full time blackjack/craps pro

Played some at Cosmo and won maybe 300 - realized Id walked away with a $100 video poker ticket from B while playing during Spurs/Everton- went back to cash it, bought in for $7k at BJ and cashed this out

So now up a little over 10k on trip and feeling good - but jesus its so hot - 108 today

Feel like Momofuku is overrated but wow that does look solid.

Also yeah some serious chil porn.

nice pics - Milos looks awesome. Loved that spot last time out there.

Not sure why anyone who is self aware would want to gamble in vegas anymore though... i mean triple zero and heard all the good blackjack tables have been officially removed. What table game has been left unchanged? Craps?

at some point, Wynn to max 2x on odds on all numbers. Not sure if that's still the case or if it just applies to lower limits but if there is a way to screw the player, it's going to happen.

fantastic TR; thx for sharing! Given that you braved the Rona like Foatie; 5 Stars!

Glad you booked a nice win when you previously had only been in the black 5/18 trips.

The food pictures drive me crazy. I'll be dining 10 restaurants a day just for the sweet photos. Glad to hear you came out ahead, monetarily and noncoronaily.
