OSH '05 Comments

John has a great idea on OSH 06 camping tips. Probably a new thread
altogether.

I personally prefer the Mountain Hardware or North Face line, then
again I do more camping than just OSH, so it is more of an investment.

I agree with all the basic technical specs. Can't emphasize the full
rainfly enough. I have tried the single-wall, and don't like them one
bit. I would rather carry the extra weight on my back and pack in the
rainfly and ground sheet.

Another helpful hint for the inevitable thunderstorm at least one
evening: softie ear plugs and eye shades. I slept through every big
storm for the past 3 years, except when I had to get up to redeposit my
beer...

My idea?

Next year in Vegas!

Air conditioned hotel rooms
World-class restaurants
And...a chance to win back part of the expenses

Are you back home? Plane still for sale?

50/50 is (Black or Red) (Odd or Even) at the roulette wheel - that's about
it. Most everything else in Vegas is house advantage. Good luck.

Roulette is one of the worst odds games - almost as bad as "Wheel of
Fortune".

Nope, you forgot about green; the house has the advantage.

Not even 50/50 on those. if the d*mn 0 or 00 come up, you lose either of
those bets. which makes the actual odds of winning 47.36+:52.63+ A 'mere'
5.55% 'advantage' to the house.

You're right. Even betting football games (50/50) ... you have to factor in
the juice.

Actually, Blackjack is about the only game where a player can have the
advantage. Catch is, they need to know basic stragety and counting.
The advantage is pretty small though.

And if they suspect you're counting, they kick you out, and never let you
come back. I've always thought that that was really crummy. "You're
skilled enough not to lose? Get the hell out of here!"
