Where to retire?

[marathon slim]

Retirement is slowly coming my way. My question is:

Retire to Tucson (near the kids and grandkids) or

to Vegas?

We are leaning towards Tucson and keep Vegas a little thrill instead of a daily grind.

 

[The Mayor]

There are more water concerns in Tucson than in Vegas --

There are more scorpions in Tucson (there are a LOT of scorpions in Tucson) --

But, the surrounding area is much more beautiful in Tucson --

In LV, we could all visit you --

--Mayor

The last time you visted me you yelled at me because I screwed up a basic strategy move. But that is okay. I won't do that again. Thanks.

Hey I agree with the Mayor coach! If you retire in Vegas I could come and stay with you. Heck the whole team would be there!!!!! Arizona sucks! Viva Las Vegas! I hate scorpions. I married two of em!

Re: The Card Counter's Retirement Plan

Play SD at $100, Hi-Opt II, spread a mere 1:2, and you'll be playing a positive EV game. Will you get heat spreading 1:2, I don't know, probably not. But you will be getting comps, playing black all day is more than enough to comp your room and meals in any decent joint. So you just live in the hotel. Free food, drink and lodging. You'll make just a little bit of money, but it's not like you need a car in LV, all you have to pay for is clothes and sex and that's what your winnings are for.

Re: The Card Counter's Retirement Plan

I am working hard counting and working hard working so that someday I can retire and not have to work or play BJ! But if you insist - its not like you can just move into a hotel and 1-2 spread them forever. Over time your slight edge will work for you and after a while they are going to get tired of having your slum around on them rent free. I've been tossed for a 1-2 spread before (ok I got a little carried away a few times...)
