I am guilty also...

I just wanted to drop a fast note to say that the 3rd quarter IRA infusions have gone out. They should hit your account this week. The money that went in was based off of normal hourly wages from July to August, as well as the midyear profit sharing that LTA started this year.

And speaking of profits and the sharing of, the transition to the new odds has been a large worry of mine for quite awhile. We've been doing something the same way for over 10 years. It may take a little while to retrain the muscle memory of paying 10:1 for a full house. It could be an expensive transition for us.

But things are mostly better than I feared. Interestingly enough, the first day for many dealers went better than the second. On the first day everyone seemed to wear a nagging sheen of anxiety that focused them. People were taking their time and double checking payouts to make sure everything was right.

Having made it through the first day though, some people assumed they already had it down flawlessly, forever, and snapped back to autopilot.

I only bring this up because I was one of those people who assumed everything was instantly perfect after the first day and stopped worrying. Then the texts of mistakes started coming in and I realized we still had work to do.

We are trying to get a better handle on what areas are possible profit vulnerabilities. Are people still paying with the old odds? Are the new bonus bets not being collected when they lose?

So if you see something, say something. Send a text when you catch a mistake so that we can better understand which mistakes people are making and plug those holes.

Our end of the year numbers thank you in advance!
