    If you promise this then I'll tune in for the worst sport around except maybe soccer. 😆

    Dude,it IS soooooo fahking boring. But again, they tell me that the access passes alone are $3,500 tickets, God only knows what the scalper market is. Add the Casino suite, dinner, breakfast, all day booze and food and a private jet? Up and back all on Sunday? Seriously, I don't get the hub-ub, I really don't. Steeler's Browns tickets would be far more exciting at face value, but given the reaction of other folks, I guess this is a huge thing. In any case, I am going to have a good time, God willing a safe trip. 

    A lot of our friends tell us this is a bucket list thing. I imagine it will be something to see, but honestly, without the ability to smoke stogies, this would be a hard sell. But jeez, Caesars Entertainment certainly treats Cathy and me like Caesars. 

    Now, we gamble at a healthy clip, but the misses wins an amount of slot jackpots that would amaze you. She has us giving a SHITLOAD to less fortunate people, and I think the scripture that says the Lord loves a cheerful giver is really alive in her. We really are blessed beyond words. I am going to enjoy the day. Hopefully there will be a lot of hot babes. Sadly, no cameras. Maybe I will see Hue?

  • Not a fan of golf. Yesterday, my wife's slot hostess calls us with an invitation. Hotel night and steak house dinner tomorrow, breakfast, private jet down to Agusta, Escort from the Sherrif's department to Augusta National, a VIP pass with elevated seats on the 18th green, and open bar and food all day. ON TOP OF ALL THAT.................. they encourage you to bring the fattest cigar you can find and smoke away from the gallery. How the hell can you say no to this? Sunday in Agusta............... No cameras allowed? WTF? No autograph seekers allowed? WTF? No yelling or disrupting the golfers? WTF?

    What the hell kind of sissy sport this gold business is.

    Maybe you guys can tune in and see me on TV. Ghoolie always attracts attention. After all, it is good to be the king.

    I've also heard- no cellphones allowed. Golf is at the level of curling on the entertainment level. The beer is mighty cheap. No DILLY-DILLY either, its not proper.

    Yeah, a ticket to the Masters is supposedly a tougher ticket than the Super Bowl.

    Is this some kind of euphanism?

    Are you saying your wife's vag is so big it needs a hostess to show people around in it?

    Very confusing.

    * BULLSH*T WARNING!? *

    A slots "hostess" (waitress?) gives away $3,500 (each?) tickets and private jet, etc. etc. right.😆  Maybe the ghool will be sitting next to Trump. 😆  Have fun!

    Saturday am -  Current stubhub prices for Sunday from $2,995 each two together seats not specified. Private jet, all the other mentioned BS *PRICELESS* 😆

    No cameras, cell phones, right well look for you. Oh I do know how comps work, anyone in Vegas should too.

    And NOBODY wins big over time at slots, occasional big hits happen but you do not go around helping the less fortunate on slots winnings. (see every reputable stat  there is on the subject)

    Winning At Slots - What Are My Odds? (Briefly)

    First of all you should know that slot machines, as with many casino games, are a type of game for which there is no “winning strategy” - technically speaking they are a negative equity game, or –EV game for short. Unlike a game such as poker (against real opponents, not vs. the house) where proper application of skill can make a game profitable in the long-term, most casino games are designed to make this impossible.

    Further Advice for Playing Slots

    Some games do feature a skill bonus round or skill component which can improve your odds. Of course these are also set up so as not to obliterate the house edge, so they aren’t going to be sufficient to give you a real long-term return, but the advice on how to play these rounds offered by the machines should usually be adhered to for maximum benefit.

    Finally if you’re playing for fun (really the only reason to play slots), play slowly. You’ll save money.

    Well it made my Saturday morning......

    Oh big fat cigars? I've been a cigar smoker for 49 years, the last 30+ nothing but premiums, fat doesn't always mean good at all.

    Just curious since you mentioned your wife....is she an avid browns fan like yourself?

    Do you guys have your little spats, or is she pretty much in agreement with you?

    Whats really funny is when one spouse is a browns fan and the other a Steeler fan.

    And I've seen some CLE & PIT couples where we're at in NE OHIO. 

    OH WELL, I wonder if the fool is also going to the Royal Wedding? I'm sure he can get comp tickets and private jet airfare. 😆

  • Whether or not Ghoolie is going, I dont know. It would be a great opportunity if he is. I enjoy golf, but Augusta looks absolutely gorgeous. I dont know what tickets go for what and the difference, but I heard earlier this week that the AVERAGE price for a ticket was 7700. Double from last year since Woods is playing

    For that price I'd rather have an ancient gold coin in mint state shape from Roman or Greek times. At least it retains it's value and would be worth something towards a grandkid's education.

    My wife thinks the Browns are the most useless franchise in all of sports. She finds Browns fans to be the most childish, tantrum-prone jackoffs of all fans. She is not a huge sports fan, but she is, God only knows why, a Ghoolie fan. When we first started dating she came to Browns backers Sunday with me, for about 2 years. After about 4 or 5 games she came to see all that is Browns, as being fukcked up. Still, she humored me. She gravitated towards the Steelers, at first because of what she picked up was an illogical, childish, moronic hatred coming from Browns fans. But she liked Cowher, and smashmouth football. Overall, now, the only comments she makes have to do with, "why do you still follow that schitpile?

    She is a principal in her firm and has worthwhile things to do with her time, unlike us. LOL.

    We hit for$ 322,000 of jackpots in 2016 $195,000 in 2017. We are having a booming start to 2018. If you play $slots machines of $1 or less, yes, you won't win crap.

    Gunz,

    I have no reason to lie, and I don't. I have been pretty blessed in life. I enjoy sharing good things that happen to me, but I don't gloat about it, and save the " it is good to be the king fun" never have I taken a position of thinking I am all that. As it happens, life has been spectacular in ways I still just can't define. 

    I am both flattered and humbled by this opportunity. For the doubting Thomas's I will put our slot host, Debra on a video tonight and on the flight tomorrow. She can relay the story about Caesars and this magnificent opportunity. They have complimentary photos inside the place, and I will surely get one for the board. More than anything, I was not bragging, but instead sharing something, that after a year of losing my Mom, my wife losing a brother and a sister, and us having to put 2 dogs down, has been the start of a wonderful almost unbelievable year.

    The fact is, my wife and I are fortunate to gamble at a pretty high level, not whales, but.........we wind up with several first class trips to Vegas every year. air and all, (2 already this year) the trip to Agusta tomorrow, a 7 day Alaska Cruise in June, three more comped trips to vegas in Augus, Decemner, and our anniversary (got married in Vegas) over Halloween week.

    As it is, Caesars is sending us on a very expensive trip tomorrow. reserved seats on 18? Unbelievable. Even a barbarian like me can't pass that up.

    I hope a few folks here enjoy the trip right along with me. Sometimes, people are too intense about football.............that is the entire extent of my schtick, dude.

    Have a great weekend. God willing, Cathy and I will, too.
