NCG...

Gotta say buddy, you have taken this program and followers to a new level that no one has ever seen before. And it doesn't make a hole in your pocket as some others do. Maybe someday I'll tackle it.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all

Mike

Thank you mike, Merry Christmas brother. God Bless us all....everyone 👰

P.A. Mike is seriously going to have to do an update here one of the days...even the emojis are early 2000's---tired of having to supply my own out of embarrassment 🔫 These are Unicode Standard and available without permissions needed --like free fonts.
The only problem with doing a righteous update on this site--if you think Brisnet was bad---wooooooboy. We ALL will probably have to re-sign-up with screen names. Nothing will work as it did previously. If you think people are bitching about Bris OMG you haven't seen anything yet. It won't be a completely smooth transition--but it will have to happen. That's called progress.

Sometimes these threads just make me want to throw up...anyone with me on that? There was one about slot machines--give me a freakin' break.

Hello??? Stop with the fake "I don't see how anyone can play a slot machine for hours". Bullsh*t.

Everyone has played them--why? BECAUSE THEY'RE FUN--THAT'S WHY.

They aren't as fun as they used to be--when you had that big bucket of quarters, or nickels, dollars--whatever your game was...and that thunk, thunk thunk when you hit a jackpot.

The vouchers just arent as much fun--but they're still fun. That's why they're so popular.

One of my favorite "methods" of slot play...I have always read about big winners--they would say something like:
"I just walked up to a machine and the 2nd or 3rd time I pulled the handle I hit the jackpot!"

So my method is...I play the slot machines early in the AM --and play each machine 3 times. Whatever happens--no matter what--I move on to the next. I would play every quarter machine in the place---after going from one end to the other--I would start over.

Guess how many big jackpots I nailed with this method??

NONE! ...But it was still fun 🎲

I kind of doubt that I posted in the thread but man, I'll tell you what, I really don't get it. I had never played slots and about ten years back stopped on the way home from a brief trip with someone to get something to eat at the casino's hamburger joint. We walked through the floor with the slots and I decided I'd give it a shot. Put money in the machine and had to have an eighty-year-old man show me what in the hell I was supposed to be rooting for. I had no idea what was going on, but it did not resemble BAR CHERRY LEMON and I was too confused to persevere. Hopefully the old man got my five bucks worth.

LOL...The new digital hi-tech computer chipped whatever machines with 30 symbols with genies, bags of gold, camels, cartoon leprechauns and shit going everywhere--don't even play those---only play the ones with three reels.

I figured out after 30 years....the $1 slots are the only ones you'll ever win on.

My wife actually plays the penny slots......FOR A PENNY!!!

Mike I put a $20 bill in a penny slot machine ONCE...had like 40 ways to win..clicked on MAX...pushed the play button 3 times---ALL MY MONEY WAS GONE.
I thought the machine had jammed I kept pushing the play button--nothing would happen.🙀

Two Pick-3's @ Delta Downs for your perusal. If there happens to be a tie for the 3rd spot--the EXOTIC BETS! program will give 4 selections for that race, instead of the usual 3. I went ahead and made a unilateral decision to eliminate the one extra horse in that race--since mikesal can't really afford to play even one of these pick-3's let alone two. (50cents = $40.50) per wager...mike being a family man and all.

So here ya go mikie...good luck

My official FONT is gonna be comic sans from now on. I know it's so 2000's but it's just so damn friendly, easy to read - and non-confrontational--I like it.

So what are we horse players supposed to now--like....talk to our families?

My daughter--who works at a movie theater when she isn't attending college, says Christmas Day is one of the busiest days of the year. What people will do to avoid having to talk to one another....ya know? Yet they'll jump on their I-Pads and yak away for hours.

One thing before I forget...watch your email carefully now. Earlier I received an email from what for all the world looked to be from the US Postal Service..saying they had a package that was undeliverable, and needed attn.
Before I could click on it--Malwarebytes popped up with a warning saying it was in fact NOT from the US POSTAL SERVICE. I don't know what it was, but I think Malware Bytes may have saved me a headache, at least. It went in to quarantine--later to be deleted--good job, Malwarebytes.

Was looking at a website a little while ago--very interesting, about Roulette actually. I don't play, but there was some info about the "Gamblers Fallacy"

Now...this is just common sense.....if in roulette, the white ball lands on red 12 times in a row--right in front of your eyes---what does every electron and neutron connector flashing signal currents in your brain---scream out?
It screams BLACK! IT'S DUE! BLACK IS DUE!

Turns out Black is NOT due. That's the very reason so many people fail at Mathematics. It's not just a new, foreign language...it's an entirely new mindset. Either go along with the program early in life..or branch off into the sea of Philosophers & Historians. Hillary has a History Degree.

Anyway...back on point....this is from http://www.kanzen.com/betting.html

"First, bet against the outcome, that is, if Black comes up bet Red, if Red comes up bet Black. Bet every spin. Do the same with ODD/EVEN and HIGH/LOW, simultaneously.

Then, using the same list of outcomes, do the opposite. Bet with the outcome, that is, if Black comes up bet Black. Keep betting Black until Red comes up then bet Red until Black comes up and so on. Bet every spin. Do the same with ODD/EVEN and HIGH/LOW, simultaneously.

Compare the two results. You should find the results to show little difference in profit and loss between the two methods. If you try the same test on different lists of outcomes, you should find that the profit fluctuates: sometimes betting against the outcome is profitable and sometimes it is profitable when betting with the outcome."


His point is...the spin of a roulette wheel, the roll of a pair of dice...any sequential event--has NOTHING to with the previous or next event in the sequence.

My Daddy told me NOT to pursue that degree in Quantum Physics from Stanford...that it would be a complete waste of time...

Turns out he was right, since Stanford wouldn't accept anyone without a High School Diploma, nor bus fare to get there.

BTW....that red-black expectation-thing....THAT'S the gambler's fallacy

Only Laurel going today....one Maiden looks interesting & fits the "2nd-time-starter" method

4TH LAKI 20-1 ---nice workout, looks prepped and ready

also taking a flyer on a Tri box keying up Lake with three others

And---a late p-3 ...I'm tellin ya, you all are going to love this new EXOTIC program

Have a good one everybody--I I offended anyone--believe me when I say, it was intentional 🎳 ⛳ 🚵 🚴 🏁 🏇 🏆 🎿 🏂 🏊 🏄 🎣
