I think that is the key too, Will. I wondered about why he requested a hand shuffled deck though? I googled the hell out of it and from what I could find the only disadvantage to the player of a machine shuffled deck is that it simply saves time for the house. The dealer spends less time...

Yeah. It's not rocket psychology.

That is very interesting. I never thought that a casino would give an edge to a high roller, but I guess it makes sense. My Dad booked numbers for a living and so I grew up around gambling of all types. I always remember two great lines he used to tell my brother and me when we were little...

Afraid of the Dark :stars3: 1/2 More of a dark fairy tale than a horror movie. Visually engaging. Fun movie.

Nice knowing you.
