There are scores of shows in Vegas every day and not all of them sell out every performance. Show people prefer to perform in front of a good-size audience. Thus, there are companies that provide them “butts in the seats” by offering to their members free tickets to undersold shows, concerts, and sporting events. Below are three such companies that I know of that offer this service. Read more… »
I am happy to recommend OptimumVideoPoker, Version 3, a VP training program designed to be easy to use and to provide the features needed by all players – beginners, recreational players, skilled advantage players, and professionals.
