BILLY’S BOTTOM LINE

Come with me for just a minute: Let’s pay a visit to Sandia Resort and Casino. We’re going to play some slots—a good place to do so since Sandia has stuffed over 2,000 of ‘em across acres and acres of carpet.

But, wait. Maybe that’s too many? After all, you don’t play the slots all that often—these choices are a little overwhelming.

Okay, then, let’s run over to San Felipe Casino—they have less than 800 slots on their floor. Should be an easier decision, right?

Not necessarily. Whether you’re looking for a big score or just a

few wins here and there, your odds are about the same at either casino.

Why is that? Because everything about slots is ran-dom. There are dozens of stories out there about how “this one slot was hit back-to-back with serious jack-pot numbers.” That’s an example of random.

But let’s go back to you first walking into the ca-sino and looking across the bustling floor at wave af-ter wave of slot machines. How do you decide which machine to play?

MEN IN BLACKTribute to Johnny Cash and Roy OrbisonAugust 9 at 7pm

Come to San Felipe Casino on August 9 to experience two of the best artists to portray Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison—popular music’s “men in black.” Phillip Bau-er portrays the legendary Johnny Cash, and Brian Mc-Cullough pays tribute to Roy Orbison in a unique show that brings alive the brilliance of both singers.

Phillip Bauer has sold out shows across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Brian Mc-Cullough has performed with members of Roy Orbison’s band and covers Roy’s eras, from the rockabilly ’50s, his heyday in the ’60s, and his work with the ’80s super group, The Traveling Wilburys.

JUSTIN SHANDORThe World’s Ultimate Elvis TributeAugust 16 at 7pm

Elvis Presley is alive and well in many of our hearts, and on August 16 he comes alive at San Felipe Casi-no, with Justin Shandor’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Show. Shandor, just 28 years old, has been called the world’s best Elvis look-and-sound-alike.

Over the past 10 years, Shandor has fine-tuned the King’s voice, looks, moves, and mannerisms—an ex-pertise that won him the Las Vegas Ultimate Elvis Trib-ute Artist Contest in 2010. Come see the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Show at San Felipe Casino on August 16 at 7pm.

For more information on these and other shows at San Felipe Casino, visit www.sanfelipecasino.com

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Everyone seems to approach the problem differ-ently. I’ve watched as some wander aimlessly and slowly through aisle after aisle, looking, or waiting, for a machine to call to them. Then there are the ti-gers, the chargers, the players who know precisely which machine they’re going to play, to work over, to talk to, to cuss at, then, hopefully, to kiss.

They head straight to that machine and go to work.Is there a difference between these two types of

players?Not a whisper. Just go back to that word I men-

tioned above: random.Inside your favorite slot machine is a device—

we’ll call it a chip. This little rascal is small, wafer-like, and it drives another device that you could say is like a little engine. Now this little chip and this little engine work in concert and run continuously, 24/7, whether or not the machine is being played.

The screen only lights up when money drops in and a player starts pushing buttons. At that point, the cur-

tain is up, the symbols are before us, and the show begins—to entertain us, and at times to frustrate us and make us cry.

And, yes, sometimes when the machine is at rest, it could hit jackpots, paydays big and small. It’s like a play going on backstage: while the the-atre is dark, the show goes on and on. And on. So, which way to go? Simply sit down in front of any old machine and start slugging away, or cull one or two out of the herd of hundreds and concentrate on them only? Psychologists tell me players get the most satisfaction by selecting one or two—no more than three—slots and staying with them. Learn all you can about how to build on credits, familiarize yourself with all the symbols and icons. It will pay off in the end.

But the real payoff is the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel if and when you do hit a sizable jackpot, the satisfaction of knowing, “It wasn’t just Lady Luck smiling at me. I learned and earned that payday.”

Whatever Floats Your BoatThat was the catch phrase designed

to attract passengers to the Florida-based Tradewinds Casino Cruise firm, which celebrated the maiden voyage of its Escapade casino boat off the Georgia coast back in mid July.

The 174-foot boat departed about 7pm on Tuesday, July 15, with 96 pas-sengers and 27 crewmembers aboard. But before things could really get hop-ping on what was supposed to have been about a 24-hour sojourn, the ship ran aground around midnight, getting stuck just off the north end of Tybee Island, a popular beach destination east of Savannah.

Thankfully, no one died and no one was hurt—heck, no one really even

complained. Sixteen hours aboard a ship with plenty of food, water, and lively fellow passengers was less a tragedy than a slight inconvenience. Passengers took the situation in stride, many of them sleeping on the floor using their lifejackets as pillows, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs in air-conditioned comfort on Wednesday morning, thanks to a service oriented crew and the ship’s generators.

Eventually, two Coast Guard cutters showed up to ferry everyone ashore. It is still unknown what caused the ship to run aground, but a malfunction of part of its navigation system was prob-ably to blame.

Have you ever seen a player smile when a blackjack dealer gets 21? I never have. When the dealer gets blackjack there is no way to win. Even play-ers who also have blackjack

only end up in a “push,” or tie. If the dealer draws to 21, the only way to win is to have a blackjack.

How about at the craps table? Have you ever seen a

BETTING THE “DON’T” AT CRAPS HAS ITS

ADVANTAGES

player smile when the stick-man calls “seven out,” the signal for the dealers to start raking in the chips from play-ers who had wagered the dice would pass?

When the dice are cold and the dread number seven is popping up with regularity, that silent and inconspicuous player standing “on the hook” (corner of the table) may be the only one winning money.

That’s because he’s what’s known as a “don’t” bettor, or a craps player who wagers that seven will be rolled before the point. The vast majority of craps players bet that the dice will pass, or that the point will be made before a seven. Root-ing for the point creates the camaraderie that makes the

game of craps so special. The cheers that erupt can be heard in the farthest points of the ca-sino floor.

Don’t bettors patiently wait for the number seven to ap-pear. If it does, they must cel-ebrate in silence and collect their winnings without fan-fare. Don’t bettors are loners. Betting the dice will pass is a team sport.

Does this make don’t bet-tors “the bad guys”? Not real-ly. It’s just a way to take com-plete advantage of the free-dom of the game. If you wa-ger the dice will not pass, the toughest mathematical hurdle you encounter is the come out roll. The odds are against you. You’ll lose your bet on 7 or 11. There are six ways to make a 7 and two ways to make 11 out of a possible 36 combinations of the dice.

You’ll win your bet on a two or three (12 is a push), but there is only one way to make a two, two ways to make a three, and one way to make a 12.

If the don’t bettor survives the come out roll and a point is

established, the odds of win-ning shift in his favor.

The odds are 1-to-2 in favor of the don’t bettor if the point is 4 or 10, 2-to-3 in favor if the point is 5 or 9, and 5-to-6 in favor if the point is 6 or 8. Win the bet and you collect even money.

Comparing the same situa-tion if you have a pass line bet, the respective odds are 2-to-1, 3-to-2, and 6-to-5 against, yet the payoff (even money) is the same. Just as with betting the pass line, don’t bettors can make an odds bet on which there is no house advantage.

The casino knows that once a point is established, the odds are stacked against pass line bettors, whereas don’t bettors are in the driver’s seat. That’s why a pass line bet is a con-tract bet. Once you place it, you can’t pick it up. A decision of the dice has to be reached.

Don’t bets can be picked up by the player at any time. The box man is only too hap-py to see a player retract a bet that has the possibility of winning when the odds are working against the house.

Dear Mark: I read your column religiously and al-ways find it very informa-tive. You recently wrote a column regarding taxes and stated, “Even a Super Bowl bet won from Uncle Louie is taxable.” Does the same ap-ply to winning at an Indian Reservation casino? I have read that Indian land oper-ates as a sovereign nation, so

wouldn’t I be excluded from paying taxes?

—Ron R.

Every time I mention ca-sino winnings and taxes, gamblers predictably make inquiries about money won at an Indian casino. You, like others, assume that because Indian reservations have a unique tax arrangement with

the federal government and are on sovereign land, this somehow excludes your ob-ligation to pay taxes because your windfall happened on their self-governing property.

I am sorry to say, Ron, but Uncle Sam still expects you to pay up. In the eyes of the IRS, whether you are on a cruise ship in the Bermuda Triangle, at an illegal cel-lar casino in Shanghai, or at the Odawa (Indian) Ca-sino where I live in north-ern Michigan, any winnings, from whatever form of gam-bling worldwide, are tax-able and must be reported as “Other Income,” on Form 1040 of the U.S. Individual Tax Return.

Blackjack the Smart Way

One-size-fits-all card strategies such as basic strate-gy don’t work because everything changes from round to round. Basic strategy only works if the cards are bal-anced, which is, essentially, never.

You’ll see this graphically demonstrated if you use my Probability & Imbalances Calculator religiously and play out many thousands of blackjack rounds. You’ll hardly, if ever, see the cards on the table or in the un-dealt mix during the course of play represented in the same proportions as they were in a complete 52-card deck, representing a “balanced” situation.

For instance, look at this real-world first-round card example. Old Schoolers would celebrate this situation as a likely winning scenario. “Let the deal-er bust!” they’d shout with glee.

Yet is this really a great situation for the play-ers without the 20-point hands? Should the players with the 8s and aces split in this situation, as the Old Schoolers always advise? What’s the reality?

I’ve provided you a small portion of the analy-sis of this situation from my Probability & Imbal-ances Calculator (available exclusively on www.blackjacktoday.com). There’s no debating what I’m about to tell you: neither the player with the 8s nor the aces should split in this situation.

Here’s why: With such a preponderance of high cards on the table, what are the odds that the dealer has a low card or ace in the hole? What are the odds the dealer will get another favorable low card or ace to avoid busting when taking any hit cards needed? What are the odds the players with the 8s and aces will get the cards they need to win?

The answers to all the questions above are to be seen in the Calculator graphic. The players and dealer—not taking into consideration any cards the players might take—have nearly 3-to-2 odds of get-ting a low card or ace. So no matter how you cut it, the players will likely get unhelpful cards and the dealer will have a less-than-normal likelihood of busting (normal for the dealer 4 being 43 percent).

When the dealer’s 4 achieves a score, it on aver-age reaches 19.01 points, which is high for any up card. Here, the likely score will be higher. The play-ers with the 8s and aces will likely wind up with subpar scores and lose both hands to the dealer—hence the wisdom of not splitting those hands here. The 8s are likely losers, split or not, and I’d surren-der them if I could. The player with the aces should keep that pair together and hit until a nice high soft total is reached.

You can’t bring my Calculator with you to the table but it makes a great practice tool. And this situation, with so many high cards, doesn’t need a genius to figure out. You don’t need exact numbers to see this at the table and know immediately what to do—and what not to do.

End of an Era for Gambling Mecca?Once the nation’s second-largest

gambling market after Las Vegas, Atlantic City is experiencing an alarming decline, due in part, say in-dustry analysts, to an oversaturation of the market in the Northeastern United States. As we reported last month, Vegas still holds supreme, but the No. 2 position has been taken over by Pennsylvania, leaving Atlan-tic City in the dust.

As of January of this year, 12 casi-nos were up and running in Atlantic City. In several months, that number could plummet down to only 8. The Atlantic Club closed in January, the Showboat is closing in August, and the Revel is expected to close next month as well if a buyer can’t be found in bankruptcy court.

But the most shocking closure could come on or around September 16. That is when a spokesperson for TRUMP Entertainment Resorts told The Associated Press that it expects to close the doors of Trump Plaza, a mainstay casino in Atlantic City since it first opened in 1984.

That closure could be crippling for Atlantic City. With the fall of Trump Plaza, nearly a third of the city’s ca-sinos would be shuttered, with near-ly a quarter of the city’s gambling workforce joining the ranks of the unemployed—Trump Plaza alone employs over 1,000 people. While every effort is being made to find a buyer, it is unlikely at this point that anyone will step up to the plate by mid-September.


End of an Era for Gambling Mecca?


Psychic Cynthia Hess is interviewed by Royale Da, reporter from KOAT 7,

about the upcoming five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in August—a phenom-

ena that is a rare event symbolizing “Prosperity.” It is also referred to as “Money

Bags” in oriental and Feng Shui symbology. This aspect is known to bring good

luck, windfalls, and a sudden change of positive events in one’s life.

Fri Sat Sun1 2 38 9 1015 16 1722 23 2429 30 31

The month of August will have 5 Fridays,

5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

This phenomenon occurs only once every 823 years.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)The element of fire helps put more fun into your schedule this month. Love and children are also highlighted. When lucky Venus moves into Leo, expect your creative juices to start flowing and put you back in the public eye. Pay attention to details.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)The cosmos has you concentrating on “foundations,” both at home and at work. Bulls need an efficient yet nurturing environment to operate in. If you’re unhappy with your digs, start making changes. A move or renovation could be easily achieved now. Watch legalities.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21)This is a fast-paced cycle that moves you into action to reconsider getting licensing, a degree, or just on-the-job training. This is also a big travel period and a very active time, when you may also want to engage in a new exercise regime and even yoga.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22)Go ahead and take a risk. There are so many personal and professional opportunities on your plate. Try not to hesitate or procrastinate or all this good fortune could vanish. Avoid taking on too much and wait until you finish the situations at hand. This is also a healing and awakening cycle.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)Happy Birthday, Lions! The party’s on! This is your month to be a rock star, and with an alignment of favorable planets, everything you touch turns to gold. Jackpots and the Powerball are yours for the taking. Just watch your diet and don’t overindulge. Family matters need attention.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)The new moon ignites your sign on the 25th with a new vision and fresh ideas. You’re juggling a hectic schedule now and won’t settle into a normal routine until the end of the year. You have never felt so in love as you do now, and your heart is open. Travel is back on.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23)The planet Mars changed signs and is helping you put all your emotional affairs behind you as you move on to bigger and better. You are ending many relationships and at the same time the cosmos sheds a light on new financial goals. It’s time to start cutting back and liquidating.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21)Your drive and enthusiasm begin to accelerate with Mars in your sign until September. You achieve tremendous headway financially if you’re involved in a joint project. An emotional rift separates you from a loved one temporarily. Examine all legal documents and watch spending.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)This is a cycle of reorganizing and uncovering flaws in important projects, especially under the full moon on the 10th. A financial dilemma clears up by October. Publishing, advertising, and public speaking are favored. It’s time to break out and focus on career interests.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)The new moon continues to keep you interested in educational matters, travel, and politics. Listen to your intuition and pay special attention to your dreams this month. An over-abundance of nervous energy may encourage you to over-exercise, which could make you more accident prone. Stay balanced.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19)Your professional cycle is elevated this month, and with so many planets in fire it impacts monetary dealings and career advancement in a positive way. The August fire element also puts you in the mood to entertain, play, swim, and travel. Stay put in your job for now.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)The current planetary configurations cause you to act more aggressively at work. Avoid conflicts that could threaten your position, especially if you don’t have a backup plan. Keep your options open and get out of any unhappy situation. You are in a major prosperity cycle.
