I gamble a lot. Often with @itsVegasMatt and @TheRealWBG.

This is an outstanding podcast episode about my friend @MrDoppy, who found a way to win at (of all things) the lottery. You won't learn how to win MegaMillions by listening to this, but it's a fascinating story and shows how very bright people often view the world a little differently than the rest of us. Link is to Apple Podcasts, of course.

He had $87 in cash, and the rest of his liquid net worth was in...lottery tickets?
AKA an obvious sucker's bet.
But this game had an overlooked wrinkle.
So over months he bought millions of tickets.
Then he spent his free time thinking about how to buy even more.
This live stream on @FanDuelCasino was so much fun! Link to the whole stream in the next tweet.

It's just objectively true that English Bulldogs are the best and cutest dogs. And now they I know they are Vegas Matt fans that puts them in the running for best animal.
Came home from work to Moby watching @itsvegasmatt @RealW2Jesus @TheRealWBG firing it in there! #EnglishBulldog #FireItInThere
It's been 21 DAYS (!) since I played slots with Matt, EJ, and @TheRealWBG! That's way too long. I've missed my friends and I've gone into serious neon light withdrawal. That streak ends today--we will be live in a few hours and I couldn't be more excited.
I'm still feeling a little low energy but maybe that will change as we start playing--hanging out with my friends and firing it in there always wakes me up! Hope you can join us.

Thanks so much for all the prayers and nice messages over the past two weeks. Theoretically, I'm supposed to be released from the hospital tomorrow early enough to catch an afternoon flight home to Vegas. My diet will be restricted for a while to give my digestive system some time to heal but otherwise I'm good as new. I even lost a few pounds because I was out of it on eating for 2 weeks.
You probably won't see me on Vegas Matt videos for a few more days but I'll be back very soon!
Yeah they banned me too. Never mind that I lost more than $20k on my last trip there. It's too bad. I had enjoyed going there! But the good news is that there are a lot of great options in Vegas.
Hey Matt are all of you banned? Does this include @RealW2Jesus, @TheRealWBG and EJ? What a weird and poorly managed Casino. I heard the NGC fined them for a bookmaker placing illegal bets or something like that. Including that plus the terrible decision to 86 one of the mast famous and honest group of players in the world is so ridiculous makes me wonder what else is going on there. Count me out of ever playing at the @VenetianVegas so long as it’s run the way it is. They need to get with the times.
I was in a pretty scary situation on August 13th. I got off the cruise ship prior to its departure because I had stomach pain that remained absolutely unbearable no matter how much pain medication the Doctor gave me. What was supposed to be a 15 minute emergency surgery to fix a twisted bowel turned into a 4+ hour surgery with complications before I was transferred into the ICU. For a few hours during the surgery, it was not obvious that the tissue in my digestive system was still alive and capable of functioning. However, by some combination of excellent medical personnel and divine mercy it appears that I am, basically, totally fine at this point and should have no long term problems from this. I expect to be released from the hospital in late next week and playing video poker in Vegas a few hours later.
I've received so many messages of support from people like this. It means the world to me that so many people take the time to write me. I don't know that it's scientifically sound, but I believe that things like support, care, and love can make us heal faster. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all so much. I can't wait to get back to our Very Important Work of playing slot machines.

@RealW2Jesus I have been following Lisa’s daily updates and ai am so happy to hear that you are healing. It was terrible to watch you leave the ship after just watching you board. Please rest and know you have a ton of people praying for you, even Father Brandon!
I've enjoyed this podcast about gambling since episode 1. It's aimed at recreational gamblers but also occasionally educational about gambling. The vibe is fun and a little silly, it always makes me smile. I'm fond of this episode because they played a voicemail from me!
Please do not play any jacks or better game with this payable--especially at a high bet level. Even at $0.25 denom you should be getting much better than this.
Many years ago, I couldn't afford to go to Vegas more than a couple times a year. I used to absolutely love reading the irreverent casino reviews and trip reports on CheapoVegas.com, this thread brings back some memories!
