Same Heavy BS -- Different Verse ...

another in a long line of car salesman Heavy's BS to sell his dice class:

7/07/06 at 03:19 AM

"You don't think the casinos are losing millions to the dice setters?  Why do you think a certain downtown Vegas casino that used to welcome us routinely bans dice setters these days.  Hint.  It ain't because Bubba spent too much time schooling the dice.  It's because one player hit them for $9 million one night earlier this year."  **

and it looks like I am not the only person to question Heavy's BS, as Big Joe states later that same day:

OK HEAVY, I have to take issue on that last statement. ... Knowing their bottom line is always number one to the casino. Pit guys have people to answer to and I really dont think I would want to be the one telling my boss I let in the million dollar loss. Sorry dude I dont buy that maybe I am nieve. GL big joe **

and Jimmy V. has a similar concern:

That  figure  of  9,000,000.00  seems  downright  unconscionable. If  it  was  an  open  table  at  the  G.N.  with  betting  limits  of  5 - 5,000, how  many  hours  would  it  take  to  reach  that  amount  even  at  betting  $ 5000  max  per  place  number ? Can  you  imagine  how  crowded  and  noisy  that  table  would  be? The  action  would  have  to  slow  down  incredibly  to  make  all  of  the  wagers  with  every  Tom, Dick  and  Harry  wanting  to  get  in  on  the  action. I  could  see  them  allowing  up  to  100 K  going  out  to  the  player, but  even  after  that  small  amount  why  did  they  not  just  close  the  table ?

I  have  heard  of  whole  crews  being  fired  after  a  huge  win  of  100K  or  so, but  letting  the  table  take  away  9  million  chips ?

Even  if  this  was  a  closed  high  limit  table,  at  the  very  most  I  could  see  500  K  being  won  and  then  closing  the  table. Someone  in  management  screwed  up  big  time  to  let  a  craps  table  let  go  of  9  mill.

So we went to the Nevada Gaming Commission public Gaming Revenue Reports *** for 2006 Downtown Las Vegas and looked at the monthly reports to prove how impossible Heavy's statement was.  Sure enough, the numbers do not lie -- the figures for the Craps tables did not show any significant deviation from normal $5. bettors with a Win Percentage near 12% each month ---- definitely no $9 million loss by the casinos on 1 table as Heavy reported to help sell his craps classes and instruction material !!
