Show Notes:

Coach Fav and Janie throughout the podcast state how to get free airfare, free food and beverage comps, and reduced or entirely complimentary room rates while on a Vegas vacation. Many others suggest ways, but no one but Coach Fav and Janie explain how to get these things when you are in your home area, perhaps thousands of miles from Vegas. Living in Western Pennsylvania, how do they fly to Vegas and back for free, get $200 food and beverage credits, greatly reduced room rates, and free slot play? They explain in great detail.

Gambling Hacks: Although they did not talk about this in the podcast, this is a bonus for those who take the time to read the Show Notes. It’s not illegal, but casinos might tell you to stop if they recognize it. Generally, dealers at craps tables care less. We are talking about playing opposites. So for 30 minutes I put $25 on the pass line. Janie at the other end of the table puts $25 and a dollar on the 12 from the Don’t Pass Line. I play single odds, she plays double odds. After 30 minutes we are generally even – maybe less than $10 behind if that. Yet we got credit for being $25 pass line players. We do this at a $10 minimum table. This is our gambling hack, playing opposites for comps.  Just to stand next to one another. Enjoy!

Episode # 145 What About the Law?

Show Notes:

Happy New Year to our listeners. The feature of podcast #145 is a discussion with Vegas businessman  Jimi Crimi who came to Las Vegas from the Syracuse, New York area in the mid 90’s to seek more opportunity. He started a business in Henderson, Nevada, which grew to point that he now advertises on the huge screens in Allegiant Stadium. Jimi opened an upscale eyewear boutique in Henderson, and it became amazingly successful. He explains to our listeners the pitfalls of a business in the Las Vegas area and the one thing that is required to be successful. He encourages entrepreneurs to join the business community in Las Vegas area and enjoy the unparalleled growth of Southern Nevada as the influx of people seems endless.

Craps Talk: Coach Fav explains the strengths and weaknesses of Come Bets. Many players use them with the Don’t Pass Line, playing a HYBRID betting system. Coach also talks about SMART Craps and Come Bets. Smart Craps mathematically is considered to be the best way to play craps.  However,  Coach Fav also emphasizes that all crap strategies are not foolproof and some are foolhardy. In the long term of play at any negative expectation casino game (craps included), the casino wins because of the house edge. Certainly casino table games can be beaten in the short term and for those who are willing to quit when they are ahead, craps can be a ton of fun. In general, table games offer a chance to get away from gambling against a computer chip. 

STP (Slot Tips, Please). Janie rolls out her way of playing at 3 or 5 slot machines per casino visit while staying with her strict budget of $100 to $300. She believes this gives her the opportunity to find a “hot” machine. Slot players can see how her system makes sense. She also talks about the problem with playing slots in an extremely crowded casino.

Episode # 144 Betting Big, Is it Worth it?

Show Notes:

Coach Fav asks listeners to recall the biggest bets they have made. Did risking more money increase your enjoyment with gambling? Win or lose, is the stress of anticipation a thing of pleasure or not. He then considers some of the biggest bets that he has made in recreational gambling.  Coach discounts the relevance of of the extreme wealthy wagering millions (Mattress Mac) and makes his discussion center on the ordinary recreational gambling crowd.

Comparing Five NFL Quarterbacks

Coach Fav compares Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes.  He asks if it is time to turn the page on Brady and Rodgers. He throws in a “healthy” Lamar Jackson. He leaves out Jalen Hurts because his success thus far is generally associated with the present season. The other four young quarterbacks have more of an NFL resume of success overall.  

STP

Janie introduces her new segment STP (Slot Tip Please) by giving an anecdote associated with playing slots. Janie’s stories and tips will be a part of future podcasts as well. She also shares her biggest bet as this was the theme of the opening segment of the podcast.

Show Notes:

Coach Fav gives a factual third quarter financial report on the casino industry in America. The results, despite the inflationary pressures on all of us, are stunning. Inflation and Gambling  oddly has created the best period ever for American casinos. Who knew? Record Revenues!

Using Your Comps: Coach Fav explains how to use room comps in a creative way by overlapping your comp days to use to your advantage and actually save money. He goes on to list some common mistakes made with slot play and table game play than can cost you money.

A room issue that occurs so often that is upsetting for guests once they are in their hotel room is to realize that there is not a safe or a fridge in the room you booked.  Call down to the desk and say that you need a fridge. “OK. It ‘s $30 a day. We will have one brought up to you shortly,” the desk responds.  Ouch! Coach Fav explains how taking care of these issues before a room is booked assures that you will get one when you do make your booking;that is, by booking a room that comes with a safe and a fridge. Although inflation may not be hurting casinos, it is hurting nearly all of us, so taking care to get what you want actually may you have a much more enjoyable stay.

       Happy Thanksgiving from Casinos USA

Show Notes;

Introduction: Relax when you are gambling, have fun playing.  Please do not assume that anyone who bets much more than you on any table games actually knows much more than you do about the game you are playing. Don’t worry about being a low roller. Play at a level that is comfortable. No one wants to lose, but there is no certainty that you will win, so play with money that you can afford to lose. Otherwise, do not gamble in a casino if you cannot afford to lose money.  The biggest lesson is to quit when you are ahead. It might be the toughest thing to do in a casino, but it’s the only way to beat the casino.

Allegiant Stadium

Our feature is the focus on M Resort’s VIP suite at Allegiant Stadium. Janie and Coach Fav tell the story of their experience of being guests in this fantastic suite for the recent Notre Dame-BYU football game.  What a way to live to watch a football game!

Craps Talk

Remember these numbers: 15-6. Coach Fav goes after the come out roll, putting $15 on the pass line and $6 on 3-way craps, which makes him a winner if a 7,11 or 2,3,12 hits. This hedge may not be mathematically sound in the long haul, but often winning consecutive or more come out rolls occurs. So when a 7 hits, he then hops the 7’s in the following come out for 3 dollars and keeps doing that if another 7 hits. If the 2 or 12 hits he presses the 3-way bet by $6. If a 3 rolls, he presses the 3-way bet by $3. Sometimes he makes hundreds just on the come out. Generally speaking, 30% of craps games end on the come out roll. It is so common to get 3 rolls of a 7 and two rolls of craps numbers every time coach plays. 

Coach Fav agrees that big money odds behind the pass line really elevates risk, so he generally plays $20 behind the pass line and has no problem with those who simply make place bets. Playing 50 or 100 x odds is for a select few. I am not one of them. I am not going to risk 500 dollars on making the established point. Yet do not forget how playing both the 7-11’s and the 2,3,12 on the come out roll can turn into a big dollar win if they hit in consecutive rolls and more. I walk away from the table a winner playing this way more so than not. That’s a fact. Sure I lose at times. That’s a fact too.

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.

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.
