I send $4,000 to a dishonest book, they immediately steal half of my money. I like there soft lines and continue to play there anyway. Each day I manage to win $250, but each night they steal back half of my winnings.

How many days before I show a profit ?

There exists a formula for this I believe.

Where B is the base betting amount. O is the optimized return on investment. And S is the shitty way these books are given favored nation status by "watchdog" sites.

What if they steal back half of my cumulative winnings each night ?

OK then. 3 queers ( not that there's anything wrong with that) split a motel room on Fremont street that costs $30, so each pays $10, later the owner of the Blue Angel realises he should have only charged $25 because they have a special going on. He sends the maintenance man over to refund the difference. The maintenance guy don't speak no good English, and doesn't know how to splain it to dem guys 2 good. He decides to give them each $1 from his pocket and keep the $5 himself.

The 3 queens wound up paying $9 each for a total of $27, and Jesus got $2.

Where did the other dollar go ?

You mean he kept the $2 to himself. I hate that problem.

That is a tricky problem but I always find my way through it. True $27 + $2 = $29, less than the original 30 given by the queers. But that 30 becomes an old figure once he gives the $3 back. The men paid $9 each when it was all said and done, or $27. $2 went to Jesus, $25 to the room. If that makes any sense...
