C b j n

Of course, you buy C B J N.

C.b.j.n.

Of course I buy CBJN - as needed.
Not every month, but several times a year.
It is invaluable if you want to find the best games and avoid the worst ones.
I travel around the country quite a bit.
I wouldn't want to play BJ in a new locale without CBJN.

Is it accurate ?

Yes and No

For Las Vegas C.B.J.N. is about 98% accurate and is updated every month.

In remote areas of the country the updates can be years between updates.

I, personally, have rated a few places for Stanford Wong.

The short response is YES, for Las Vegas, it is nearly 100% accurate - with the understanding that the info provided cannot be fully guaranteed - since management can change the game conditions any time they wish - even a minute before you walk in the door.

I will assume you do not invest CBJN ?

You assume correctly - I usually scout my own games and I walk a lot anyway, so CBJN is worth less to me than it is for most people. My friends and I purchased a few issues in the past when we tended to play-all and stay in 1 or 2 "good" spots for longer periods of time.

You are a mapmaker !

Mapmaker, mapmaker make me a map; find me a find, catch me a catch!
Mapmaker, mapmaker make me a map; look through your book, and find me a map today!

Dear player, see that they're gentle, remember you once were untried.
It's not that I'm sentimental - it's that I'm terrified!

Is it accurate ?

I advised them a reported game (far from LV) had been removed a month prior to their report. I also commented on some other conditions that weren't consistent with my experience. I received a polite expression of appreciation. On the next month's report, the same non-existent game was reported, so I asked with a bit of an annoyed tone for an explanation. No response. They got it right the third time. In spite of this, I regard it as a useful indicator of what one might find; much more efficient than physically making the rounds.
