Show Notes: Casinos USA Podcasts

We begin with a comprehensive book review of Eric Sherwood’s autobiographical work DEALT. The podcast has three other segments: Sports Betting, Craps Talk, and Janie’s responses to 10 questions about the book Dealt. 

Coach Fav and Janie have no professional or personal relationship with the author. They may be aware of each other but that’s as far as it goes. So the book review is a subjective interpretation of the work by both Coach Fav and Janie. 

In both segments regarding Sports Betting and Craps, Coach Fav highlights how legal betting apps can be a big help in getting better in both. For example, Live Craps online has a 50 cents minimum on bets. This low amount enables one to experiment. The same with one dollar minimums on sports bets. Finally, legal sports bets often offer fantastic promotions for both new members and those who have played on the app before.

In Part 1 of our September 1, 2022, podcast, Coach Fav tells the story of a listener from Texas that had two opposite experiences on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. Coach goes on to make the story universal with a reference from a famous novel by talking about how gambling is both “the worst of times and the best of times.” 

In “Craps Talk” Coach Fav explains what the “Marching Soldier” bet is and how this same listener used this bet to enjoy a win of nearly $600. Coach Fav explains that this interesting pressing bet cost only $10 and can make playing craps fun again.

Show Notes: Casinos USA Podcasts

Coach Fav has a comic take on Digital Notre Dame football tickets, someone spending $700 on a singular dinner —  as a YouTuber “The Coolest” did. Coach Fav’s mocks himself as his Smart Phone Apps 120, and the Vet who sends emails to our dog Oliver. He finally decides that his criticism is not appropriate as its “to each his own” because everyone has spent funny money that generally makes little sense.  Money takes on a different take in a casino resort, especially in Vegas. Just discuss losses in gambling, Ouch! Count the cars, boats and motorcycles that Coach Fav has gone through – Ouch, Ouch!

In Segment 2 Coach Fav considers the Coaches Preseason Football Poll in College Football, the only poll that he takes seriously. Considering the top 25 teams he asks, “Where is Penn State? They are not ranked in the top 25, but Coach Fav believes that they should be. How about you?

In the popular Craps Talk segment, Coach Fav presents his 15/6 system of betting from the Don’t Pass Line with Action on the Come Out. This system gives the player a number of options depending on how the table is going.  Coach Fav sometimes refers to this system as  15/30, so he might just keep others guessing. You have all the details to play it, regardless of what he calls it. Coach Fav has won has much money with this system as he has with his popular 3-2-1 Craps from the pass line, which has had 246,000 views on Youtube. It was produces and narratives by Jeremy Elerick of Color Up.

Episode # 137 Inflation and Gambling – Indisputable Facts

Inflation cuts across nearly all aspects of American Life. Certainly food prices and energy, especially the cost of gasoline. We anticipate much higher heating bills come late fall and winter.  Nonetheless, casinos are still raking it in. There may be some danger signs in the future, but they have not amounted to much so far.

In Pennsylvania, from which Casinos USA’s Podcasts originate here in the Pittsburgh suburbs, a new record has been set in terms of casino revenues. The fiscal year that runs from July 1 to June 30 for the year 2021-22 shows that Pennsylvania’s 16 casinos generated 5.04 Billion  in revenue. That’s a 1.2 Billion Dollar increase.

Still there are signs of a slow down. Nevada’s gas is the second highest in the nation and traffic from California has been down 4.1% this last month. Derek Stevens who owns Circa explains that ATM withdraws in April and May were down 11%. It has been pointed out that casino promos all over the country are suddenly more attractive than they have been these past months.

Sports Betting is now legal in all but 15 states: Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina,

Texas, Utah, and Vermont.

Yet why are the big national events and professional sports teams moving to Las Vegas;

Let’s start with 150,487 hotel rooms – which includes all rooms on the strip, downtown, local casinos with hotels and hotels without casinos.  Resorts World and Circa have easily made up for the casino resorts that did not reopen after the pandemic.

Inflation and Rooms – Still good deals in terms of room costs but danger signs are more than hinting of a slowdown. Coach Fav and Janie gives several examples of the impact that inflation is having.  Vegas shows are out of control and tickets now cost more than ever before. Yet the casinos are fighting this by increasing the comps.

Craps Talk: Coach Fav just cracks up over those who believe that casinos have free odds bets without a house edge so that dice will hit the chips. He goes on to explain how the odds bet in craps is the best bet in the game if not the entire casino.

Odds and Ends: Coach Fav gives a shout out to Ken, a man who threw the dice for 45 minutes at Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Western Maryland. His throwing motion and dice set were unusual. Coach Fav explains how rare a 7 free 45 minute session at the table is.

Thank you, Ken. Hope to play craps with you again.

Show Notes:

Notre Dame has the next move as the big money at Fox Sports and ESPN has changed college football. What will the Irish do? Join the Big Ten or Stay Independent? Coach Fav presents his view. 

In “Craps Talk” Coach Fav explains how one can make large profits from the come out rolls regardless of which line they open the came from, Pass Line or Don’t Pass Line. He also explains how place bettors can protect themselves from the 7 by locking up a profit. There can be big money in come out rolls. Consider playing the front end of a craps game hoping to catch a series of 7-11’s and 2-3-12’s.

The cost of Vegas Pizza continues to escalate to the point that Janie suggests going for a Southern Fried Chicken meal instead and approximately for the same prize as two slices of pizza.  She gives her choices for excellent chicken meals on or near the Strip in Las Vegas. Don’t hesitate to call our voicemail to give your favorite pizza or chicken restaurants. What do you enjoy more?

“Casino Fever” has struck again as Coach Fav and Janie discuss their upcoming trip to Rocky Gap Casino Resort in the mountains of Western Maryland, just outside of Cumberland. Fav and Janie last visited Rocky Gap in March of 2022.  Also the pair will be back in Vegas in early October for the Notre Dame/BYU football game at Allegiant Stadium. Casino Fever, Wow!

Episode # 135 Family Decisions About A Las Vegas Vacation

 Contact Casinos USA Podcasts: 24/7 voicemail 1-724-519-4556

Show Notes:

Taking a family to Las Vegas is a serious decision that should be considered carefully. A summer vacation in Southern Nevada rules out swimming an entire day because temperatures are likely to be in the low 100’s. Swimming safely means using adequate sun block and not staying in the sun for hours. Hydration is always important in a desert environment. 

After swimming, what would “kids” do in Las Vegas? Coach Fav gives a lengthy list of activities to be considered. Janie reacts and elaborates on his choices – a variety of things that preteens and teens might enjoy in Las Vegas. Note: Kids can walk through casinos in Nevada, but they cannot sit at a slot machine. The Strat has thrill rides that attract fans from all around the world. Coach Fav explains his plan for spending a family day at the Strat. Janie and Coach also list the Vegas shows that welcome kids and that entire the family would enjoy. Many casinos also offer babysitting and daycare with certified staff.

Both Janie and Coach Fav stress that the supervision of children and teens is paramount.

Traveling with other adult family members (grandparents, etc.) can be a big help in sharing supervisory responsibilities. Often general sightseeing in Las Vegas is also enjoyable for all ages. Still if you go, supervision of children is more important than anything else.  This is also true while walking on the Strip.

Gambling Warning: Betting Too Much Cash: Coach Fav returns to his old topic about the dangers of playing with “scared money,” which is money that one cannot afford to lose. Learn to enjoy the smaller wins and have the discipline to quit when you are ahead by reaching your win limit. Lock up your winning; otherwise, you might give it all back.

In Craps Talk Coach discusses the Don’t Come bet. A bet he refers to as the “DC.” He explains how it works and also acknowledges that he almost never makes DC bets. He present his reasons. Note the distinctions between lay bets and DC bets.  DC bets are a better deal for the player than a lay bet, but what point number they go to from the DC is not controlled by the shooter, rather by the dice roll. One can lay odds on the DC bet when it reaches a number- same odds as the Don’t Pass Line.

Show Notes:

Part I

How can one bet the Notre Dame-Ohio State game by betting on both teams and win both bets? Coach Fav will tell you exactly how to do it. It comes down to making two distinct type of wagers. Coach Fav explains in detail the two bets that one must make to play this way. Before you arrive at that information, Coach Fav reviews the issues with inexperienced Notre Dame quarterbacks especially thought of as a negative when compared to the experienced quarterback at the helm of Ohio State. In their home opener against Notre Dame, Ohio State is a 13.5 point favorite.

Part II

Craps Talk: We begin with explaining the 4/10 hedge lay bet for the come out roll when playing the Don’t Pass. This move protects one from a come out 7. How long does the player leave these bets up? Coach Fav explains the options with lay bets.

Returning to the subject of dice influence, Coach Fav reviews the dice sets associated with many of his long, long rolls as a pass line player.

Show Notes:

The South Point Casino Resort, the video poker casino of choice, is reviewed by a local via a call in to the show and by Janie. This resort has more than 1300 rooms and is the home of a variety of events that attracts thousands of visitors. Coach Fav explains why a famous gambler plays so much video poker at the South Point. Love horses? Then the South Point is a must…. so many reasons for making South Point part of your Las Vegas vacation.

Next Janie and Coach Fav give a detailed review of the Mob Museum in downtown Las Vegas. This is a very popular stop for hundreds of people daily. After hearing this glowing review you may become one of those. Don’t forget to enjoy the Speak Easy at the end of the tour.

In Craps Talk Coach Fav explains why his amazing Craps Winning Streak (9 straight winning sessions) finally came to an end on Kentucky Derby Day at the Hollywood at the Meadows in Washington, Pennsylvania, a Penn National property about 25 minutes from the Pittsburgh Airport. In his honest presentation regarding losing at Craps, he presents a clash of traits that many craps advocates must tame –  A competitive personality vs the establishment of a firm “loss limit.” Following his losing session, Coach Fav explains what his major mistake in play was and vows it will not happen again. He hopes, of course.

Finally Coach Fav thought his losses at Craps would be made up by his pick in the Kentucky Derby, EpiCenter. It looked that way until out of nowhere from the back came Rich Strike. Get the details.

Show Notes:

Janie opens the podcast today. We stayed at the M Resort in Henderson, Nevada, the official hotel of the Las Vegas Raiders three nights, two nights at the palace size South Point Casino, a very popular locals casino, and the final two nights at Bally’s on the Las Vegas Strip. Today’s podcast focuses on M Resort and Bally’s. Janie reviews several areas of concern and grades M Resort very high with the one exception of the Sports Book. Otherwise, it is perfect.  Food Costs were so reasonable at the M Resort and the pool is HEATED. The hotel coffee in the M Resort  24 hour Bakery/Coffee Shop is the very best coffee she has ever had including Starbucks. So many other important details of our stay at the M Resort are mentioned.

Bally’s is in transition and is behind the 8 ball as their first floor restaurants are gone with the exception of Nosh, which is only open a couple of days a week. 

Craps Talk:

Coach Fav talks about the effect that electronic craps tables and bubble craps machines will have on the regular craps tables.  Jeremy Elerick of Color Up, perhaps the best producer of Craps Videos on YouTube, believes that these types of tables will bring more players to the regular craps tables eventually.  Coach Fav hopes Jeremy is correct, but feels strongly that casinos will ultimately embrace an electronic table which requires just one dealer, which dozens of people can play from their seats surrounding the table or bubble craps machines that do not have any dealers – instead of staffing his beloved regular felt covered table with four dealers a box man, two dealers, and a stick man. Finally Coach presents a Martingale style betting scheme for electronic or bubble craps that offer a very low minimum bet – as low as $1 for line bets.  He has had success with this approach, using Come Bets, but Coach Fav does not guarantee that it will always work…. nothing ever does in a negative expectation game. Still we love CRAPS!
