It's been a crazy busy day at Curtsyland - no complaints, I love it when it's like that! But tonight's blog will be a short one. One of the gifts I wrapped up today was a copy of Casino Confidential - A Pit Boss's Guide to Beating the House. Sounds like someones heading to Vegas for their birthday. The author of this book is listed as "Anonymous" as it was written by a veteran pit boss and dealer. I still remember my first trip to Vegas when I was 21 - all the guys in my office helped to educate me so I wouldn't be a total nimrod when we got there. I was at the craps table putting my new knowledge to use when my girlfriends came to get me for dinner. I had been winning, but I cashed in my little stack of chips, while several of the guys at the table tried to convince me to stay. I just smiled and giggled and headed off with my posse. When we returned later in the evening, the pit boss who had been working that area told me I should never leave while I was winning and some of those guys who were trying to get me to stay would have given me money to keep rolling the dice (here I thought they thought I was cute) - can we say naive?
