what is comp counting? too lazy to google

[/ QUOTE ]

Essentially, using Blackjack as a vehicle for getting comps at 10 cents on the dollar. Requires knowledge of basic strategy play in blackjack and a few deceptive tactics.

Those interested at all, pick up "Comp City" by Max Rubin. It may be my favorite gambling book of all time, and with my library, that's saying something.

I voted dating women taller than yourself. I don't really have a reason why. I am 6'2" and dating a woman taller than me would be horrifying.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm 5'9.5". The tallest girl I ever dated was 5'11.5" and she was always trying to look shorter when we went out. If I wore my hiking boots and she wore her Chucks, we'd be about the same height and it was barely acceptable to her. It was annoying, but not horrifying. Anyway, my current girlfriend (who is super-awesome) is 5'7" and that's perfect.

That's a hijack opening for any of you degenerates to go into your sportsbetting theories.

sportsbetting = awesome.

if you're serious about it.. stay away from parlays. teasers can be good. dont bet more than like 3% of your BR. Make your own spreads before you see Vegas' then compare them to the ones @ the sportsbook, when you see onse w/ big differences (or small differences if you're awesome) bet it up. Or if you think the lines are being swayed by lots of fan loyalty or something. Like if the Yankees were playing the .. Devil Rays in the worlds series (and pretend the Rays didnt suck) betting on the devil rays would pay more $$ cause there a ton of people betting on new york, so the books will have to adjust their lines for that.

I don't really wanna be a capper.

Seems like there are a few different elements to making good sports bets.

Shopping for the right line and vig
Analyzing the various spreads and how they move
Capping (can be divided up into different sports)

Seems like this would be a good venture for a partnership of 4 or 5 people who split duties.

Just send him two juicy hand histories you recently played and have him analyze them. That would probably help you a lot more than a generic SNG lesson.
