First time all year - zero picks - SO - Coleman Sports Grill experiment

WELL WELL WELL - not much today 

1. No Picks
Colman sports grill 

WOW - for the very first time this year - zero picks in the Main system.   There are now 8 teams on the watch list and not one of them I have winning today. 

The thing is this system is all about HOW MUCH you win when you win.  Dodgers were -335 last night which is crazy.  The Brewers are starting to get this way.  The are -163 today with May? pitching and his 6.30 ERA? 

SO - we wait. 

MEANWHILE - When at a Brewer game I saw a cool tailgating grill and decided I needed something like that as opposed to my Charcoal grill.  Not EXACTLY the same model but this ROCKS!!! Takes 10 minutes to get to grilling temp AND NOW - I'm obsessed with wood chips.   

The PROBLEM was everything I cook came out well done. SO I bought one of those $6 1 pound packs of burger and made four 1/4 patties all the same size and cooked each one for a different amount of time. 

Minutes on each side 
2 and 2
2 and 3
3 and 3
3 and 4  

3 and 3 was medium and 2 and 3 was medium rare.    I've been using Hickory and a small amount of Apple chips.   More Apple chips with chicken and Oak is always good  Mesquite is rather strong. 

HOPEFULLY more tomorrow Cheers

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

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.
