A good and bad weekend...

Smile The good first I got my windows tinted and they ...dooo's look good. (pictures later)

Cursing The bad news...the wheels I should have put on this weekend...well they guy seems to have vanished. We were suppose to meet this weekend to pick them up and he hasn't returned my emails for almost a week straight now. I'll give it a few more days before I start looking for a replacement set.

I hope he wasn't trying to scam me. We'll see. And "no" I didn't pay him already. I was bringing cash.

I was pumped up about getting my windows done and my new black shoes for the ride...but now I am sitting here wondering what's going on. I hope he's ok and nothing happened. I don't have his number but he has mine.

hahaha ...it's funny you say that. I almost forgot. I went to the gambling boat this past weekend as well and played swartz's Blackjack plan to the T..but I lost 200.00 in about 20 minutes.

I have heard of that way of playing so I know it has been a very successful way of playing but it's a game of chance as well and the cards were brutle to not only me but the entire table got raped. I have never seen a hotter streak by the house. It was sad. My wife went to play slots and lost 200.00 as well.

It takes like 30 minutes for us to drive there so it took us longer to drive there than it did for us to lose 400 bucks. I laugh about it because it's gambling and no one put a gun to my head and made me go. I never learn.

Now you guys have me curious to this "plan". I used to live 3 hours out of Vegas and spent a lot of time there playing Black Jack. My problem has always been the guy to the dealers left thinking that the object of the game was to get to 21 and not to bust the dealer. That left chair can really screw up an otherwise good game.

Now that you say that...the very last guy at the table would bust often while trying to get 21. You are right though...the plan basically helps with your betting amounts along with when to hit and when to stay...while counting on the dealer to bust atleast 1 out of every 5 hands.

But the dealer evidentially wasn't on board with the plan. ID-iot!

I kinda figured. Next time you're probably better off to switch tables because when people play like that guy, unless you're pulling BJ's, you're pretty much f'd.
Gawd...things were so much easier with single deck tables!...LOL

RE: A good and bad weekend...

Guys, this is why you play craps. If you play right, the house only has a 51% chance of winning. You have a 49% chance! The casinos just bank on the fact that noone can quit while they're ahead, and eventually when you get on a bad streak you'll quit. Play, win, quit while ur ahead, make $$$$$ LOL

RE: A good and bad weekend...

I just heard back from the guy and he apologized for not getting back to me sooner. So we are set to meet this weekend instead. No money is leaving these hands until I get them in my possession.

But damn it's another whole week of waiting and drooling. These wheels better be worth it. Smile

RE: A good and bad weekend...

Do you have close up pics of each wheel? Just so that you aren't to surprised when you see them in person...
