Bkmrk.
A regular joe high-stakes gambler with 27 residences in his history.
Weaponized autism.
The saddest thing for me is that I have absolutely no trust in any LEF or FBI investigation of this.
Not that unusual.. definitely not a cube farm or corporate life.
I have a dear friend that is a high stakes gambler... he does make money at it, he took some of his cash from a sale of his company and does the gambling on the side as a part time job. His life is a bit different than most... He started to gamble years ago to develop his critical thinking and risk assessment skills and found he did pretty well at it!
I suspect he owed the IRS a metric butt ton of unpaid taxes on his winnings, both in the US and overseas. The IRS noose was prob getting itchy along with some Trump derangement thrown in or he came to hate Vegas as they reported his earnings and started the IRS investigations... Maybe the seed fund for the gambling came from Dad?
The IRS looks at patterns, they busted a dude in 2004 that robbed a bank on his high school graduation in 1980, My brother knew him well! Dude took $28K at gun point... it was never solved till 2004... His income for years did not jive to buy a boat which did not match up nor did his down payment on a house years later... they posted two agents at the end of his driveway for a week... he knew, went out and confessed.. wife and two daughters never had a clue. Served time and got released
Early in the 9/11 clean up... Al Qaeda was making lots of its operational money from online video gambling... it was shut down partly for that reason... then it was allowed again due to the large amount of intel spun off by the online gambling world... I suspect this dude just was pissed at Vegas and the IRS...time will tell.
Its just so sad how it is though... very sad to see our Constitutional Freedoms abused by these whack jobs and slip knots...sad for the victims and their families...
I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to these things, but I would have thought it would be hard to win a ton of money in Las Vegas without having taxes withheld by the casinos.
The deep state is presently interested in painting mass murderers as conservative. Since all mass murderers are Leftists, this means the deep state’s desired narrative will always be false.
The Post (in their “news” section anyways, their “opinion” section is filled with unsubtle retards) is a lot craftier than your garden variety news rag at calling the perpetrator a conservative. They’ll show a picture of the guy to let you know he’s a white male, talk a lot about his gun collection, and mention that he was a wealthy guy living in a conservative area.
What they WON’T mention is his recent anti-Trump activism, the unapologetic Communist beliefs of his girlfriend, or that he specifically planned to shoot a group of people who are disproportionately Republican. They MAY mention his polyamorous relationship, but won’t go into detail of how those indicate a liberal lifestyle. They will mention his gambling habit, but won’t point out that conservatism frowns upon gambling and that social liberalism is indifferent to it. They also won’t talk about whether or not he attended the liberal “comedy” shows which are a dime a dozen in Vegas.
There is not”hing normal about this guy at all.”
Guess we’ll just have 2 C if another star goes up on the wall up there ....??
.... With a 13 tattooed on his Adams Apple. You know? Just like the rest of us.
Where did he get so much money? Where did it come from? Who meticulously planned such a complicated mass murder for maximum evil effect?
He hasn’t done a very good job of keeping to himself since the massacre. Stupid headline.
The NV Dem. House of Representative said he was winning at the tables so this wasn’t the reason. She also said housekeeping hadn’t seen anything amiss in his room.
Casinos report... you pay...
You are absolutely correct.
Maintaining each square foot of casino floor cost money. Each square foot has to earn its keep. The best that one can hope to do on a slot machine is about 95%. That means that on average one receives back 95 cents for every dollar wagered.
If the payback is more than that, the casino can't pay its bills. If its a lot less than that, the player loses interest in playing the machine because his initial stake is lost so quickly.
My wife and I played slot machines today. We each wagered a total of $100 playing a nickel at a time. We were entertained for about three hours. The casino rewarded us with $10 each in free play.
My initial calculation for how the day would go (on average) is that each of us would give up $5 of our initial stake in order to wager a total of $100. From the $10 each that we received in free play, which we would have to wager, we each expected to have $9.50 remaining. At the end of our stay, then, we would each expect to have a net gain for the day of $9.50 minus the $5, or $4.50. That would be a net gain for both of us of $9.
Somewhat surprisingly, we actually left the casino with a net gain of $10.
I expect that our results in the future, if we pursue the same offer from the casino, will vary quite a bit from this outcome, both higher and lower than today's result. Over time, however, there is little expectation that our average results will be higher or lower. That's just how random processes work.
For this shooter to have claimed to his brother that he won $250,000 dollars at the casino tells me that his level of wagering is extremely high and thus that his losses overall are also very high. At his level of wagering it is unlikely that the casino would be subsidizing his play.
