Best way to see if there is a new blog is just click on 

https://publicenemiescolumbus.blogspot.com/      OR - there is a subscribe button somewhere on the right side.  Again - I get nothing from this - Google says I have controversial topics on my 2000+ blogs but they won't share where they are - WHAT?  ME? CONTROVERSIAL?  It's how I was elected to city council for gosh sakes. DID I MENTION Columbus Water and Light have a spotlight shining on my house 8 months a year?    

***********************************

Thinking out loud as I work on the NAMELESS System  -   Maybe I should bet ALL the games?  If it is winning at 4.6% ROI am I missing games to bet on?  I'll have to do some number crunching.  Probably not but . . with so much data collecting I'm always looking for patterns 

****************************

Went 3-1 last night on the Main non-wagering system so its looking better SLIGHTLY. You can see a very small uptick at the very end.  Things can happen quickly though.  NOTE -I do have Brewers winning tonight and Bauers has a great night - we shall see  

This is what The System looks like at the stop wagering point.  

The ISSUE is I go camping every so often for a few days and can't do The System.  OH - I can recreate every thing once I get home so no data is lost.  I always hope I'm camping on a hiatus.  

************************************

The Golden Shoe- DJ and I took a road trip to check out 13 casinos in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I was in my card counting days.  Long Story shorter  - - we were nearing the end and on the way back to Madison was Hole In The Wall casino. 

DJ had had enough so I said - "I'm just going in for ONE shoe just to check it off the list - be back in 15 minutes". 

I buy in for $40 and sit down at a $5 table betting $5.  There was one other player and a couple hands in the count started to turn positive as many small cards were being delt.  After about 5 hands of winning I raised my bet to $10. 

About that time some big LOUD Texan kind of guy with that little string tie thing around his neck with a suit coat sits next to me and slams a green chip ($25) on the table and off we go.  WIN WIN WIN and this guy is LOUD I mean LOUD. 

The count keeps getting better and Tex is annoying me a little as EVERYBODY is now watching our table of screamers and high fivers. NO - I want to be quiet and incognito. 

WIN WIN WIN and pretty soon I'm betting $25 and Tex is betting $75 and then he shoving out $100 WIN WIN WIN.  THIS GUY is SCREAMING with every win and casino suits are starting inch closer to us to pay more attention . . . . TO HIM!! I'm the little guy next to him - shhhhhhh.   

Meanwhile my stack of chips is growing and growing but nobody notices ME as I went from a quiet $5 to betting $40 a hand. And this is a $5 table.  People come and go at the table and they keep losing and I feel bad FOR THEM.  US?   WIN WIN WIN   

The 4? deck shoe comes to an end and Tex has a shit load of chips and I have maybe $500? in front of me.  he Maybe has $1000?  

They change dealers and a more adult person steps in and now I see there are a more then a few Casino suits watching closely. 

WELL - new deck the count is back to zero.  Tex pushes out $100 and I take one tiny red chip from my huge stack and push out $5. I KNOW this raises eyebrows but its my last shoe - I gotta get out of here. 

That last shoe of $5 wagers I lost $30 and Tex?  he lost almost all of his stack. Maybe $700? 

THATS enough for me and they bring a bucket to put all my chips in.   I walk to the cashier and TRY to cash out.  The lady adds it all up and then says "I'll be right back"  BEFORE she gives me my money. 

And I wait . . and wait  . . and wait.   I KNOW the Eye In The Sky is looking for any tells, going through all the hands of both Tex and I.    We had one of our team banned from the Miss Marquette Riverboat Casino a year earlier so I was waiting for the boot. (you really can have your lips move when counting cards LOL)   

BUT - was it me? was it me and Tex?  I was good at counting but the count was SO high I didn't even bother counting any more. I was just high fiving Tex. 

10 minutes later she comes back and hands me $450.  I walk out to DJ in the car and apologize for taking so long and then toss $450 onto her lap!!  The GOLDEN SHOE!

Tomorrow  - What happens when you cook 4 burgers on a new Coleman Sports Grill using 4 different times to flip.

Gus the Weather Dog was SO confused.

Hiatus - and card counting in Black Jack

this address will always have the NEWEST blog

1. Hiatus
2. Online Black Jack and where Grinder came from
3. Teaser of The GOLDEN SHOE 

NOTE - 1 unit is one standard bet and it never fluctuates - its a way of tracking.
ROI - return on investment example  10% ROI = for every $1 wagered you get 10 cents back. 5% is really good. 

0–3%	Solid; typical for many sharp bettors
3–7%	Very good; sustainable for strong models
7–12%	Great; top-tier territory
12–16%	Excellent; rare and hard to sustain
16%+	Extremely rare; often short-term variance

And as always smash that LIKE button and subscri . . . . what?  This isn't YOUTUBE? My Bad
********************
WELL - this is where we are now - below the red line which means zero wagers - HOWEVER - I do have the Brewers winning tonight in a very low scoring affair.  BUT - trust the system, when it says step back .. do it  

SERIOUSLY - seeing how this system fluctuates is/was a game changer.  

I WISH the NHL puckline system did that BUT NOOOOO - the puck line system last year had 331 wagers 6.36 ROI and 21.05 units won. But no sine curve like this system.

The MAIN system has 549 picks this year and a 4.0% Return on Investment (ROI) and 21.70 units won (not bad at all) while the WAGERING system that stops when we drop below the red line has 362 wagers at 11.3% ROI and 40.87 units won. 

OH - if anyone wants to get a hold of me "Grinder12000 at yahoo dot com"   The "Grinder" part came from blackjack when Stanford Wong on his site called me that,  I was a Grinder at black jack.  

In about 1999 and 2000 when online casinos were just starting they would have a bonus. Give us $100 we will double it to $200 and all you have to do is play 1000 hands.  AND - they would give this bonus ONCE A MONTH!!  

I had 14 casino accounts and would play perfect BJ. I would play about 2000 hands a week of perfect BJ and bring in the $$ - only ONCE did I lose all $200. In fact TYPICALLY I would win $120 PLUS the $100 and cash out that casino until NEXT month. EASLEY clearing $1000 a month. 

ONCE - I was so pissed off at losing I said FUCK it and used the last $20 in online video poker to have fun -  ROYAL FLUSH!!!!    taught those guys for cheating. 

The Golden Age of online BlackJack.  And of course I had a Black jack counting team when we went to Ho-Chunk. Three of us learned to count cards.  I had 15 decks of cards EVERYWHERE and would practice anytime I sat for more then 5 minutes.  I used the Red 7 system which was great for 4 deck shoes. 

It got to a point that at a stoplight I would see 4 people walking left to right and 2 right to left and my BRAIN would say  +2    4-2=2  

TOMORROW - The GOLDEN SHOE at The Hole In The Wall casino in N Wisconsin. The eye in the sky REALLY checked me over before they cashed my bucket of chips. It was our 13th casino on a trip around Minnesota and Wisconsin on a little excursion with DJ. 

And there is ALWAYS SHGoddess to talk about when we sold picks.    

Day Two of the new ERA - We are officially in the LATE 2020s and MICE!!! MANY!!

This blog 

1. System Hiatus 
2. Where I started my first system - early 1980s? 
3. personal issues  MICE!!  
************************************* 

WOW - That blew up in my face - last time "I" brag.  2-5 down 2.9 units AND OF COURSE the main system is now on a small hiatus.  I will explain 

This is a 20 game moving average of the MAIN system (not the wagering system).  Above the red line is money making time and below is waiting to get back above that line. WELL - we are below. The arrows just shows a weird anomaly. Don't those two spikes look almost the same?  I think that last one is giving me the finger.

HOWEVER - I have a system inside the system that is inside the original system LOL IF you need action 

Houston  +5.46 units this year
Milwaukee +7.07 units
Kansas City +6.91 units
NYYankees +6.88 units 

 I call these undocumented success games for small amounts (as it is undocumented).   
*******************************************

My first system in my life (wagering) was parlay cards. A friend of mine (Elweed) and I would collect 5 NFL parlay cards from 5 bars and compare. The cards were always printed on Mondays and on Thursday we would get the cards and look at the CURRENT lines. Then we would look for changes. 

Example if all the cards had a game a favorite of -3 but ONE card had -2,5 and the REAL line NOW was -4 we would circle that game on every card with a -2.5.  Then look for more games. If  a Dog of +6 was now a dog of +4 in real life,  circle the +6.  And so on. 

When we found a card with or 2 or3 games circled - THAT was a wager.  It worked. Customers that would see us would ask what games we were playing and we would get free drinks. 

Only once did we have an issue with these illegal bookies.  Once 10 guys all put $10 on a 10 team parley AND WON  $64.000  of course these small time bookies did not have $64,000 - had to wait a couple weeks for OUR money.   

This was before I found online black jack and was making $1K a month and THAT was before I found online Texas Hold'm which started a blog which started my writing for a poker magazine ALL with a little dyslexia which has been a problem all my life (except with numbers). More on that at some point.

Sophie getting her bum tickled on a sub woofer

Our house is 20 years old (2.1% mortgage) and we have never had a nice problem until a couple weeks ago. 

 I'm in the basement and DJ is SCREAMING - A MOUSE IN THE HOUSE.  Our cats had it cornered. 

3 days later Sophie is staring at the frig day and night.  Again - I'm working in the basement and calmly walk upstairs and both cats have a mouse cornered in the middle of the kitchen staring at it. I capture it and take it to the open field 50 yards away. That's two. 

Yesterday Sophie is sleeping on my chest in the afternoon as I watch TV. She JUMPS up and runs to the kitchen and has a mouse cornered.  I collect and take it to the OTHER side of the fairway into the weeds.  That's three. 


LAST NIGHT.  Sophie is again on watch. 1:00 in the morning, Iggy (the non-mouser) JUMPS up and runs to the kitchen, Sophie is standing over ANOTHER mouse.  I take care of it go back to bed that's four.  BUT WAIT !!

I woke up this morning and 2 dead mice are in the kitchen. That' six.  2 larger ones and 4 babies. I THINK that is all of them.  The family?  I saved three that are 50 yards away in a field across the fairway.  I THINK that's it! 

and that is my story.
