and we're live. Hello everybody. Hello. Hello. My name is Alex. This is Papa David over here. Welcome to our uh live stream, sir. Yes. We have some big big updates, don't we? Yeah, we got we got a lot to share today. So, uh we're going to share quite a bit. We have some news on Vegas which we wanted to share as well, but we have some events coming up. This is this is kind of a fan show. Uh we're going to give you guys some insight. We quite a few people have asked us what happened and what had happened was we're going to save that for a little bit later, but first uh we're going to talk about one of the events that we have. We have two pretty cool events coming. One of them has to do with Alex. Go ahead, Alex. It's the birthday bash. Sixth annual birthday bash. So for any you guys out there, this is your opportunity to hang out, interact with us, and mainly gambo the week of the the meetup. So there you go. The 23rd. So it's uh it's scheduled for August 23rd, and it is going to be kind of a whole day. Uh I think the doors open at 12, and we have a very unique uh schedule. So we have some events planned, which is uh what's the name of the uh Go ahead. What's the name of it? you you we're doing survival blackjack survival craps. Yeah. Survival blackjack survival costume. We're going to do a little something a little bit different. We're going to make you guys play like a survival game instead of like how many can you yolo. So make it a little fun. Yeah. So Alan Toy has taught us a lot of lessons and now we only get 100. You only get one stack of red. And the idea is to survive as long as you can and make it through kind of the tournament pass. But we'll have uh survival blackjack survival craps. Then we'll have a final and we'll we're going to have that on YouTube and we're going to have prizes and games and and the rest of it and there'll be food and fun. Uh and if you uh if you take advantage of Station, you stay in any Station Casin, you get 25% off. So we have that coupon code there. Uh and anyways, if you want more information, look, we have it we have it here. That's casinoquest.biz. And we have an event me and Ronnie are hooking up on J July 12th. July 12th. Uh it's a setter shooter player dice workshop, dude. It's a whole day. It's like a full day workshop with food. And so me and Ronnie uh and you can look into that uh that more as you go. All right. I thought I would inject some news and uh you know kind of a lot of people have been asking me what's going on. I had a very interesting Go ahead. Well, before you continue uh for those of you trickling in, we are going to get to some bigger news a little bit later. for people asking what happened. There is some things we got to add. But we also have Alan Toy gave us used his member chat said, "Happy belated uh birthday, Daddy David." Uh, thank you, sir. Yes, I'm getting younger as I get older, dude. I I feel younger. I don't know. Uh, okay. So, here's the thing. So, those of you who uh aren't necessarily fans or here for the news, we do we do have or are here for our news. We have some news about Vegas. Uh, and if you have uh if you've been around in Vegas recently, uh, things are definitely changing. We had this I had this very interesting conversation with my insurance agent of all things. We were commiserating about a lot of the current events uh, here in town. The one good spot is that there are more conventions. So, so Vegas has been successful of netting some conventions and so convention traffic is up, which has been great for us because we're getting a lot more group events booked. Uh, however, on the flip side of that, because of a lot of things that have been going on in the world, a lot less Mexicans and Canadians, and here's here's an interesting fact is about 10% of the high limit play that comes to Vegas are Mexicans, like legitimately Mexicans, but Mexicans aren't wanting to risk kind of the border issues, right? Or coming here, you know, whatever the case is, right? So, Mexicans haven't been coming. So, high limit pits, a lot of casinos have really been kind of sweating this this loss of loss of action. The crazy thing is, and and I don't mean this to to kind of talk about all Mexicans and, you know, one pile, but the Mexican high limit players really just they just come and make the posit, dude. These these are not the, you know, it's a very different type of player than the European player. I mean, the Mexican players just look to really just having a good time. They're they're not so specific on like European roulette or the better odds, the better games. They just literally come and play at higher limits. Uh and and and so the the outlook for them as players is very different than someone, let's say, from a European market, right? European markets are looking for, you know, the better odds, better games. They'll play at higher limits, but they want, you know, the better blackjacks and things like this. The other day, me and Dennis, we were we come in through the California side uh into Vegas and and the the test is always the brakes. How many times I got to hit the brakes coming in or how many how much traffic is there leading up to uh to where our office is. So, we're we're at Sahara, West Sahara, right? And before that are all the exits that you would arguably stop at Tropicana, Russell, where all the casinos are. And the other day on a Friday I 80 miles an hour, man. Right through, dude. I mean, it was just we never I've never experienced that ever. Even on like a Monday or Sunday afternoon, you almost always see some congestion. Traffic here is been has been down. So, here's an interesting thing, though. Years ago, a casino could put up a billboard and promote a cheaper game, you know, or a new buffet or some kind of value, right? a new show, cheap tickets, something to get people in. Something to get people in, right? Yeah. Now, what do you got? $95 baked potatoes do. That's not gonna The value proposition is gone. You can't There's nothing there. There's nothing left. So, what what's left? What do you What do you What do you promote? What I mean, if you can't make money at the games, like, you know, how is it that you know, what what's left to promote? Especially if you're on the strip, like, you know, what is there to incentivize? Everything is just glossied over. So, where do we go? It it's the most interesting time. I I would say it's it's not interesting for a lot of a lot of businesses because they're going through it. Especially if you're Vegas and you rely on tourism, especially active tourism, people that show up at your doorstep to buy [ __ ] Uh that that dynamic is definitely being addressed. I I know I've had this conversation with you guys a few times about the value proposition, but let me just say that the casinos now have to really face reality because people don't want to pay. The people that are left with money uh on the high end, they're not they're not even coming. you know, the high-end Mexicans are not coming, high-end Canadians are not coming. Like the it's it's really uh it's really changed this sort of gaming landscape and and and what's left. So, I'm I'm I'm very interested to see how all this plays out. What do you think, sir? Yeah. I mean, you know, like for example, like Mexican Independence Weekend's coming up. Yeah. A lot of normally there's a lot of people coming from Mexico City, right? Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen. So, I'm just saying like, you know, I'm just really see what's going to happen here. So also too, your favorite F1 too. A lot of that business comes from people from Mexico City coming down here to watch. Yeah. To watch F1. Yeah. I feel like so it should be very interesting. The good thing about that is that there's a lot less people here for F1. That' be a lot less traffic. Although the construction will take up. So I mean, see, Jet's just probably thinking Jet's going to love it. Ticket prices. I think this is going to be the best year for ticket prices of F1. There's no doubt about it. But anyways, uh I I do know that um the casino bosses are are are are basically uh huddling together trying to work out, you know, what what's this next step? You know, how do how to attract more people, especially a domestic audience, like how to get people to spend their money here. Uh value proposition's gone for the most part. Like what what else, you know? So, uh well, we're here grinding away, you know what I mean? Me and Alex are doing our thing as usual. uh and we have something very interesting that we wanted to uh discuss with you. So, first is so let can we we have this we've pivoted a little bit to something we call the Nexus CQ Nexus and we've been working really hard to yeah on the cq nexexus.com and it is an online learning and training platform for players and to some extent dealers although we have a new a new site that's going up that's going to be uh more focused on dealer dealer stuff but Alex has been very hard at work uh putting up the what these are deep dives. So if you're a player and you want to learn strategies or you find a strategy that you like on one of our channels, we will teach you the deep dive. Uh Alex has also done walkthroughs for roulette, for blackjack. We have a Bakrat one coming soon and recently we had a single zero. So if you're someone who's not familiar with single zero, let me tell you, it's not just not lacking a zero. There's a lot more to single zero. Yeah, you can bet sections of the wheel. You can also bet the neighbor the numbers on the wheel. So those are for the people out there that really do believe in the section systems, right? SR is for them. So yeah, and if you're looking for better odds and you want a better, you know, a better advantage, obviously single zero offers that as well. So we have been we have been putting up we've invested a lot of resources recently in just kind of blowing out the CQ Nexus. Uh and it it just on this on the top it says what it is, learn to deal. So we have dealer courses, player courses, strategies. We also have a blog that we've been active uh that we've been actively updating. These are stories by me uh that I've been writing uh and uh you know putting up there for for your consumption. One of them is the math versus uh the opportunity and and by the way those those of you that read this article before there wasn't a comment area I have now included. So I I got some great comments but I put the comment part like a week later. So, for those of you who had the great comments and if you still want to share them, there's now at the very bottom of each of the blogs. I I didn't know how to turn on the comments, but now they're turned on. They're part of each blog. So, if you have any insight or any commentary you want to add, we're happy to hear it. We're happy to to kind of see it down there. This was my most uh let's just say appreciated blog article was the math versus the object. We've done some videos and and recently there was there was someone who did a video on uh a video that we did. So he did a video on one of our videos and kind of breaking down the math how the how the math necessarily wasn't as as advantageous for as far as a strategy goes. And basically I wrote this article uh to contrast you know the kind of the math proposition. So let's be honest the math proposition doesn't work in Vegas. It's it's that's not what gamblers are here for. Gamblers are here for hope and streaks and and understanding how it's due. And uh you know, if you're here for a math proposition, you're probably in the wrong you're probably in the wrong place because there's no math that favors the player, right? The the math is on the casino side. So, so anyways, I wrote this article, math versus opportunity, and I said required reader for gamblers because if you're a gambler, as much as you might be about the math, and I think John John is out there, he'll have I'm pro crafts. He'll have something to add to that as well because he's he's more about the math. He leans into the math whenever whenever when given that chance, but he recognizes also the opportunity reign supreme. That's how you win, right? That's the that's the that's that part of the experience that that that changes a gambler from winning a little money to winning a lot of money or you know what I mean potentially. No. Anyways, uh those for jumping in asking what is the big news? We are going to get to it a little bit. Uh it is actually pretty big. We do have a lot of things to share. By the way, this is uh it is big. Let's just just let's just get to it now. Did you want to add anything about the math versus opportunity or how much it's due? What what do you got buddy? I just want to mention one more thing about the birthday bash. Uh, so if you guys that come down and join us for the birthday bash, that's pretty much the week where I pretty much set aside to interacting/gambling with everybody that week. So if you guys, if that this is the one event a year where you guys want to come down, hang out with us. So please, what day is that? That is on August 23rd and you can go on casinoquest.biz, buy some tickets. Yeah, you got to buy some tickets. So we're limiting uh the number of u of people, so it's it's going to be first first register. Uh we've been we've been we've sold a few tickets already. So, I would recommend just the the the real problem is like uh we we don't control the AC in our place. It's only so many people that can comfortably as much as it's a big ass space we could have, you know, but there's still limits, right? We can't just have anything. So, so we're limited space. All right, let's get to the big news because this has to do with you if you're a gambler. Oh, ready? Go. Go for it. All right. And at the end of this, we're going to have a Q&A. Uh what do they call that? AMA. Ask me anything. ask thing within reason. Within reason. All right. So, um, we have, uh, well, let's just say this. Um, is it 30 seconds past? Yeah, we got [ __ ] over. Okay, there's no doubt about it. I I don't want to even sugarcoat it. People keep saying it's not personal. It absolutely is personal. For almost four years, maybe five years, we promoted a application at our deficit. Even though we were approached by many other opport we had other opportunities we could have pursued but we kept up because we were loyal and and typical Alex and David style uh you know we let this individual you know promise and and and talk about equity and stuff like this. It was all nonsense. So you know most of you guys have are well aware we we we have had different ads and I've been shouting out uh this application okay that has to do with crap. So, I don't want to put it out there the full name, but but you guys know what I'm talking about. Uh, despite our a lot of the complaints and reservations that we've had about it and it's low rating that that ended up on on the the Google uh Google Play Store. It's not even up there now. So, despite all that, we have uh I put up the agreement. So, so for those of you who just want to make up your own mind and don't want it coming like obviously clearly I have a bias, right? Uh, so I put up on Patreon, we made it public, so it's completely free. This is not a Yeah, you don't have to pay for you don't have to pay. So I put up our agreement and the and the spreadsheets and you can see for yourself if you dissect that stuff how we weren't paid on time, sometimes months in a rears. We'd figure out what the hell our team meanwhile is putting out uh promotions like, you know, we we promoted the hell out of this. this this app wouldn't have existed in its current form uh and its current success without our our support uh and us shouting it out. I mean it had no market had no audience it had nowhere to go. Uh and so for a very little bit uh we agreed to we we we technically had a collaboration agreement for 20%. Right? And over all these years, finally it started paying off. Finally, after all the hard work, and I mean all the hard work, because we integrated into our our magazines, all of our all of our uh all of our print work and things like this, of which we sell quite quite honestly, you know, quite amazingly, thousands of these and in the back of this, you know, and we've been shouting it out, promoting it. All right, we're not going to beat this. But so this this this person wanted us to do certain things which which our YouTube managers felt like were a kind of a waste of of of resources and time and and listen I trust Dennis by the way our whole finder on Roulette he he's our YouTube manager and he's been a fantastic YouTube manager and we me and Alex as much as we provide input and we have our own ideas we have come to trust uh uh Dennis's instincts and his knowledge And and let me tell you, no one researches and knows these stats and you know what I mean. When you when you promote something on YouTube, if you make it look too much like a commercial, which I think sometimes this podcast might be, if people kind of tap out, right, they just don't care as much. But if you make it organic to what you're doing and it's part and parcel to, you know, your process or whatever the case is, then people say, "Okay, let me share in that. That seems like a useful tool." And so that's what we did. And so, you know, the one thing that, you know, he wanted us to do was this a show that this dedicated to, but not always possible. It takes a lot to put together a show. You know what I mean? Those of you who put put shows on, you know, there there's there's a lot that goes in a lot of moving parts and we have we have we have other businesses and so, but we felt like it we were we were doing our part and then some. That's why I put the agreement. That's why the agreement is there so you can see for yourself uh that we fulfilled sort of every so basically he said listen I'm just going to stop paying you I'm deciding to not to uh that we have the collaboration is done uh and that's it not much we can do because he's not even based in the in in the United States so you know we're just we're just screwed but here's the thing uh if you if you don't know us we are very good dealing with adversity and moving forward in as much a positive direction as You know, when when they give you lemons, you make lemonade. And that's what me and Alex me and Alex have have really just learned that codependencies don't work for us. Like, it's better to engage with you uh and and create our own things. So, we have joined forces, right? And and for now, and that's that's all I'm going to say, by the way, about that. That that's done now. The man is dead to me. I'm going to move on. Keep saying it's not personal. It's 100% personal. Do you know how hard our team worked on? Okay, that's it. That's I will say this. So, if you go on to the Patreon link that I posted in the chat, you can scroll down, you you'll it it will show up with the tiers, but if you scroll down, you'll see the post, it's the first one there. I made sure it was. And then you can read through it at your own pace with all the uh you know, attachments and other stuff. The attachments are there. So, you can see you can make up your own mind. And if you feel like we didn't do it justice, well, then that's that's a win for him. And there there we go. But, okay. So, now we're moving on. So in in in the midst of all this, we um unrelated to this app, we were developing an app that was about the community, you know, where we wanted to connect gamblers. It was part of our uh common air experience we were going to put into fashion show and that got put on hold when we moved into this facility. So we have been working with John. John is sort of part of our team on a part-time basis. He contributes to some of our content and we've been working with him. You might have seen him in a podcast, stuff like this. And if you didn't know, John's been a full stack developer and instructor, like an actual coding instructor for the last 20some years. And we have joined forces now to develop and take what So we had a guy named Max, a really smart, very useful, promising young man. He's now moved on to I think Microsoft. He's Yeah, he's with Microsoft. Really? Yeah. Wow. He is he graduated college and he worked with us, did some fantastic work. And so between a lot of what John was building, so John's been working on doing like a casino gaming TV, but for him, he needs us and for us, we need him. You know what I mean? And so together, we're like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You know what I'm saying? You know that commercial? Damn, that's crazy. We just Reese's cuz cuz Dennis hates Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. But anyways, so together what we're going to do is we're what we want to do is create Steam for gamblers. Basically, we want to create a module type of experience that includes all the games but has the games uh in different modes but also has lookup features. It also has a meetup feature where you know you can create a profile, tell people who you are, where you are, what you play, potentially connect with other people. You can have active discussions and engagements. Also ties into our coaching features on CQ Nexus and all the other platforms. And here's the thing. So imagine this. We're going to incorporate craps, blackjack, bakrat, roulette, roulette double zero, roulette single zero, and pyal, and potentially other games, okay? Uh we're also going to have each of those games will have at least six different modes, okay? Free play, uh a player mode, strategist, dealer, supervisor, surveillance, and then a practice logging skillbased mode depending on the game. So you can just practice very specifically as a player or or dealer perhaps, but as a player, you can you can practice and log certain outcomes, okay? Depending upon uh you know, kind of the game. And and I'll also go into kind of why you would want these uh in a second. Now, when you buy the game, we're only going to charge you one fee. You won't have to pay every month. You're going to char get charged one fee. download it to your own computer or uh you know tablet or or phone and you'll have it available to you so that it doesn't have to be. It'll literally be on your local computer so you can play it as you want to. Now obviously if it's you're in a multiplayer type of scenario or you need to network then of course that would be a different component. Okay. Like we said it's going to be a modular type of buildout so that you buy what you want, you pay for what you want and then that's yours. So you follow um we have networking elements already mapped out. We have multiplayer solo. We also have multiplayer NPC. So so multiplayer solo is where you have NPCs you can play other play against other systems or other other players that you designate to do. We'll have multiplayer group or network play tournament play live host player but where where someone can actually host you know a network play. And we also have a live host coach where someone could act as a coach and provideworked instruction based on the game that you have which is a tool that we uh are going to love right as a school so we can teach. We have we have two casinos uh in the northeast that we'll be working with uh shortly and we're going to be using hopefully have that tool available so that we can coach interactively uh and do that. All right. Um you know so so then we have the following feature elements. Now, all this, by the way, is available if you want to follow. It's on cqexus.comqapp because it's going to get good because we want we want you to be involved. We want to share. We don't we don't just want your money. We want your input. We want your, you know, your engagement. We want we want you to beta test it. We want you to be part of this. We want this to be be your community. Um, uh, we're going to have casino lookups, casino integrations, uh, player lookups, and player messaging. And then, all right. So, here, uh, I think I, so the the endgame is we we want it to be all about, uh, literally you. We want our communi community to drive the timeline, the features. We want you to test them. We want you. We want to fully engage and prioritize, you know, everything from the community standpoint. And, you know, obviously it it'll be a monetized. People have to get paid, right, to get this done. But we want it to be a sort of gamblers's choice app and and have all those features and and all of those tools. It's going to be built by people who are very passionate, right, who have put all their adult lives. Alex has been a c in the casino business his entire adult life. I have been in the casino business my entire outside of uh you know the military but since I've been 21 right uh and so we're we're not just you know we're not just you know kind of your run-of-the-mill you know people looking to engage we also happen to have a school we have a player development center here we have relationships with hundreds of casinos a very positive way uh and and I want to convey on you sort of you know why us and why why you and why we're doing this well let's let's be honest no one's going to build our software for us Right. Everybody has if if you go online right now and look at the software that's there. There's some interesting ones. There's some ones that have some really fancy and nice gooies, but they don't really meet, you know, our specific needs. If you happen to be a strategist, if you're someone that wants to work out strategies or or, you know, you really want to dig deep into the games, there's there's not a lot of tools available for that. There's not a lot of learning tools or training tools that that are that are, you know, more more singular or more linear in terms of what we're trying to learn specifically. There aren't there aren't a lot of tools for dealers. There are some there are some uh like flashc card type of things that are available for dealers, but there's not anything that's comprehensive goes into art of operations and sort of you know pay off triggers and flow of money and things like this. And there certainly isn't anything that is geared towards surveillance or supervisor operators. And we have successfully created a class that we have taught uh quite a few surveillance operators what we're calling visual table games. So collectively we have hundreds of years of experience in this and we have a group that's together that's very passionate about the player parts of it right the community itself and and and engaging completely with you you know what I mean like 100% uh you know making this about all of us right instead of just looking at it from how can we monetize this how do we sell tokens or how do we you know what I mean like how do we get this this wheel moving right u all right so did you want to add something to Yeah, I think the biggest thing too also I want to mention out there for you guys are out there because majority of you guys are not dealers. Majority are players. I think the biggest thing for you guys is like running different systems against each other, right? Different ways of playing. That's running through spins, running through rolls. That's the biggest thing about this. Yeah. So that and that's exactly like exactly what Alex is talking about like all of those things that feed into Alex's thing. And not just Alex like everybody has a different mindset, you know. I I I I was talking to a guy the other day that wanted a feature called hot table where we can say, okay, what if a hot table rolls? What's that going to look like for my bets? Well, we're gonna have a hot table feature, right? Or, you know, how about I just want to work on place bets. We're going to have a way where you can sort of be much have a much more linear experience as a strategist. Uh where you can work on the place bets or if you want to export the math or import the math, we we have another uh tool that you can import the math and you can basically plug the math into you know, one of our our strategist tools and it will export. Let's say you want to put it through a 100 rolls or 10 rolls or a thousand rolls and chart out what that looks like and get feedback. Let's say you want to look at what the house advantage is, you know, all of it. But but on their own, those are great things and anybody can build that out. And that's true. And you're you're going to say or some people might say, "Well, David, there's there's bigger companies out there who can develop an app like this and they'll come for you." Yeah, but but here's the thing. First of all, they don't have the level of engagement that we have from our from our perspective. They don't have the casinos that we have. So, I was on the verge like I had quite literally prior to this descending madness of, you know, of this other app. I had a casino committed to giving us a tournament except the person that we were talking to just wouldn't listen to do the tournament that they wanted to do because casinos can can only work one way, the way they want to work. That's it. So, as much as you want to knock on their door and come up with some brilliant ideas, they they drill it down into, you know, you know, what's their win, right? Casinos need a win. Okay. So, I we had established a win. Um and and we can negotiate relationships directly with the casinos that that a lot of influencers and I hate to say we're just we're influencers per se, but that they they just can't. They just don't have the access. You know, David has access. David has access not because David is, you know, all that smart. David has access because I've been doing this for 34 years and I have friends and family that trust in us the same way that Alex Alex is, you know, is a legacy family. His is a second generation and and between us, we have relationships with the casinos. Like we're one of the very few people that have free license to to film inside quite a few casinos because they know that we have a school. You know, we we we tow a line. You know, there there are things that that you'll see that other that other people on YouTube do that we we just can't do, unfortunately. And and as much as we might want to, uh we we can't do because we we obviously have a school. We have a we have a state licensed trade school and we have these relationships that we're not going to devolve and and but for that that that's a benefit because we we can create this very holistic experience and really talk about, you know, value like giving something back. Listen, if you want our player, we're going to educate our player. We're going to empower our player and we're going to give our player a connection that makes sense for them. So, when you want to come to Vegas, we want you to come to Vegas and save money. That's why we have that that cut rate at all the station properties. We negotiated that directly. Just right off the top, dude, you plug in our code and bam, you you you save money on that room. As long as there are rooms available, by the way, there's no there's no blackouts except for I think there are two dates very specifically. But apart from that, there's no blackouts. You can use you can use that code anytime you want. And so, you know, that that's what we want to do. Create this community, you know, build this community. And now we have the perfect opportunity to create engagement. All right. So, where is this all going? Well, here's what we're here's what we're trying to do now. In order to make it all about you and us, we want to incentivize the relationship. So, we have me and me and Alex have a couple ways we can go about this. We can use our own money, develop the app ourselves, and incentivize it based on our own timeline and and do that. And it's a bit of a slower play to be honest, right? Because we would just use existing cash flow, feed that in, pay John, pay a UIX developer, pay the people we need to kind of develop this as a slow play. We don't feel like that's that's the best path, right? Not to mention the fact that by doing that inherently, it just makes it about us. Then we're just building our app. We're not necessarily involving everybody, although we could, right? But we're we're we're not incentivizing the relationship, let's say, right? So the next part of it is uh we engage our community uh and and not just our our community that's listening here or directly to you to you uh but maybe like a Kickstarter that type of thing and have as many people as part of this as possible and get this built out as fast as possible. you know, get all the resources at play, hire everybody. You know, John isn't cheap. Uh, and a UIX developer, if you're familiar with with them, they do the guey and they make it look nice and all these other things that people look for nowadays. They aren't cheap either. Uh, and and we're willing to reinvest all of it all of it into this this relationship and this dynamic. Like, we're we want this to be as robust uh a community uh uh feature as possible, an app. But we're calling it an app, but we're we're thinking about the name CQ Labs or CQ Plus. You know, there's a few things we can go with. Yeah. But we're we're still again, this is going to be all of us together kind of going to kind of decide it or we're going to give out we're going to reserve equity in this app. So, what's interesting is you can go on to the download that we we helped this other app build up and there's about 50,000 users and we believe that a vast majority of those users are there because of us and you know over the years, right? So, we've been doing this for four years and it's slowly ramped up has about 50,000 users of which uh over 2,000 pay and that's for craps. That's the smallest potential market. You know what I Like craps, as much as I love craps and I'm all about craps, craps is kind of limited is more limited to the US and is is a bit of a niche market even though it's a growing a growing market. But one of the biggest markets out there, as you guys know, because you guys are on this channel, is roulette. Roulette's a massive massive market, right? Also, blackjack's a bigger game domestically. Bakarat has rabid fan base. So, there's there's other games with with better sort of financial opportunities than just craps. Okay. So by having all the games and all the tools and playing into our entire business, right, not just the player parts of it, but also the dealer and the supervisor parts of it. Okay. Um and and just to add context to that, the visual table games part of it is already pre-sold. like we are sort of running into this, you know, we we are selling this course that's very specifically for supervised surveillance officers going to go live in about three months, a little more than three months. And we have casinos literally in line to pay for that content. We we have already uh sold it. We have already put uh I would say about 60 60 surve surveillance operators through a course. It's it's it's literally a game-changing course on many levels for quite a few for quite a few because it's the first of its kind, by the way. Uh but anyway, so we we we see this app as having lots of financial uh potential, not to mention the fact that we'll be promoting it, right? And and and again, we're not the biggest gambling influencers. There's people out there in in much bigger much bigger channels and much bigger audiences. The the problem is is that they're they they focus on the player stuff. They tend to be high-end players. They tend to have a very they have their own agenda when they uh when they're gambling. It's a different experience where we have this relationship, you know, because of our school, because of who we are. We have the relationship with the casinos so that we can again create this very holistic type of uh experience through the app and through this community, right? All right. So we can Kickstarter uh we can we can you know do this type of membership type of uh scenario where you know people would pay upfront and then they would get the app once it's built. Uh or we can do kind of a hybrid thing. We can do part of it is the community a Kickstarter type of thing or limited uh community engagement along with an investor uh along with uh investors. So, we've been struggling with this to be honest with you. And and and again, we're we're not your typical business people. Let's just say I I feel like transparency is key, dude. I I don't know why everything is kept in a dark place all the time. You know, you you can share. We made a lot of mistakes, Alex and I. We got into business with a terrible person. We lost $70,000 to an attorney trying to fight our way out of that nonsense for a year. You know, we've made a whole lot of mistakes. And along the way, you guys have shared in the pluses and minuses and the backs and forth. And here we are now talking about this this arrangement. Who cares? I mean, you know what I mean? Like like why do why is everything have to be under a rock? You know what I mean? So what we share for you, we win, we lose, you know, what does it matter? You know what I mean? I feel like I feel like it's a good lesson for everybody. You know, if you're in business for yourself, maybe you can learn from us. We can learn from you. I know I know a lot of people like to do things, you know, uh under the cover of darkness, but that that's just I don't know. That's just not that it's just not who I am. But we we have this board member thing. So we had a lot of people who helped us build out this space and you know who contributed on this other level. And I promised them that I would make available opportunities as they came along, right? But but I haven't wanted to give share in opportunities that I felt were let's just say not 100% guaranteed. Like for example, the common area experience, we knew that there was some outlying things, you know what I mean, that might come back to bite us in the ass. And so, you know, and it did, right? But here we are. We're very confident this app will translate on a whole another level. Not to mention the fact that we we have a really good team. I do have to throw when he says 100% he doesn't mean it's guaranteed. He means he just has very very much faith in it. Yeah, I have I have Yeah, I have a lot of faith. I mean, there's no doubt that we we feel like if this app got 50,000 users and at a two 2,000 of those, the conversion rate, what's what's that conversion rate? Like 2%. No, no, half a percent. Yeah, it's like 25 one out of 25. It's Yeah, it's like 4%, I think. I mean, just terrible. Whatever. Anyways, a terrible conversion rate. We feel like we're going to do better, especially if we have more apps and the relationship we have. You know what I'm saying? Like there's there's this sort of minimum return on investment that everybody would look for. All right. So, we're going to make uh we're going to make available from 14% to 24% of this app for equity and we are going to limit the exposure to potentially a few investors if we go that route or we go we just do the the member audience and we sort of pre-ell uh you know this membership and then all of you potentially can play a role in the discussions. And I think John John's in the chat right now. So we're going to he's we're going to have this coaching session uh very quickly. Uh we're going to do sort of a live uh chat on the CQ Nexus and he can kind of break down. Dude, it the minute you see his development timeline and and every all the all the optics that he has built into this, you will know like John's the guy. And John's not just the guy. John's the he's the consmate gambler too. So you know what I mean? He's he's not just a programmer. He's he loves crafts and he he loves all of the moving parts, right? The the strategy parts and, you know, the feedback parts and understanding the odds and and just really I mean stuff that I don't even pay attention to to be quite honest. Like I haven't I don't delve into that those kinds of things like he does. You know what I mean? But um so he's a fantastic uh person to be sort of the project manager on this and and you know making this happen. And it feeds into a lot of what what John was trying to do. uh he he he was trying to create a gamblers's channel like a you know a contentbased channel on YouTube that had a variety of of content that was but that was more like you know uh program type like a variety show a variety show yeah not so much a variety show but anyways it's been very difficult we had a company that came to us some time ago they already went out of business they raised a couple hundred thousand from Cosmo you know who I'm talking about yeah the problem is is that you it's such a whimsical audience, you know, it's hard to it's hard to feed in that. But anyways, but we think that having a this type of collaborative type of platform has has much greater potential because then you have something for everybody. You have something for a casual player, you have something for more, you know, someone looking for deeper stats. You know, you you have this very holistic environment. People that interested in just meeting up and having casual encounters, gambling encounters, uh you can do that. You know what I mean? Love on a crafts table, dude. Anything is possible. That's that's the first thing winning my head. You should have a little check box there. Open to fill in the blank kind of thing. You know, you can head that part. There you go. I'll head that part. All right. Go ahead. What do you got? Uh I think the biggest thing we're just trying to say is that in the community, it's like these two businesses have literally been built off the community. And that's part like we would love your guys' input at the end of the day. It's like this literally these business would not been possible if it wasn't for this community anyways. So yeah, 100%. Like I mean that you have no idea. That's not just us saying that. That's an absolute fact. Yeah, it's truth. We we went from negative bills like negative money in our bank account during co he went with me. We had to pay a power bill. We had negative we literally bounced. I got this notification that it bounced. You you guys lit we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our actual member base having supported us. So I we feel like this is the best place to go and and just either you know make you make you a part of this u and and this is something again that I feel like has has opportunity. All right. So at the end of that CQ app page at cqext.comqapp is a form and you can give us your name and email uh and tell us if you support either one of those options and which one of those you know you'll go and then just submit it. Uh and uh we we won't bother you. This is not for marketing purposes or spamming purposes. Uh if obviously we don't fulfill it, we're not going to contact you. But uh and then we will we will kind of go from that and get we're going to we're going to keep this up for a while and then we're also going to advertise uh a session where me and John are going to talk more in depth and then you can hear it uh you you can hear from John as well because he'll give you some context on the the coding parts of it and the development so you you can understand this is a real thing. We we we have a timeline. This is going to happen. and we're going to build this this app. Uh and and really the everything else now is really about the timeline and and how quickly and how robust it is from from X date, you know, but we are going to move forward. We have a lot of this code, by the way, as far as like the Meetup stuff and the the profiling that's already been done. In fact, and John has some code on his side. Uh and so, uh now we're just going to get ahead of the curve. All right. Any uh any questions? Is everybody just taking it all, sucking it all in? Did you say something about a second job and we don't we don't have this is our full-time job. Yeah, we don't. God, God forbid, dude. Oh, we got Although that could be that could be we got Andrew M. Yep, we do have some super chat. Use a 30 member chat. Uh his member chat said, "Happy provider, my board member level to support this amazing group and this community. Thank you. I am indeed ready." Yep. Mr. Andrew, thank you, sir. Are you ready? Uh we do have Lady Luck Travels who was here not that long ago. Give us five bucks. Says, "Thanks for everything you guys do. We enjoy swinging by last weekend." Uh, Dennis, Ronnie, Nick, and yourselves always deliver. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. We have Ron Xstoppable. Give us a final message chat. Thank you so much. Says, "Alex, thank you for talking to me last week when I came in to see Q dice after EDC. You were very welcoming and chill." Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by. Uh Joshua Shoot gave us $2. Says, "Need hot pink casino quest dice to match the polos." I know. You know, you know, it's uh I had one of my GMs, they one of the casinos just got these new solid black sapphire looking dice. I don't know if you guys have seen them out there. They're they you'll see them more and more apparently. Um I don't know if it's because some of the other like the other dice aren't, but they love them. Everyone loves them, which is crazy because they're not transparent. They they look solid black. They're solid black. They look fantastic, by the way. But I know a lot of I I thought players wanted a transparent so they can make sure that there's nothing funny going on. You know what I mean? It's not a load of dice or whatever. Yeah. So, but but I was shown these dice the other day and they're like, "Wow, players apparently are enjoying them. They they even feel nice. They look nice. They feel nice." By the way, if you have any questions, this is the AMA part of the show, so feel free to ask anything. Yeah, welcome. Ask away. We're happy to uh whatever you want to know, you know. Uh Snapper says, "Can this computer dummy get involved?" Yeah, 100%. And we're going to make it snapper friendly. By the way, well, you know what would be great? SN people like, but we need you all sorts of users at every level. You know what I mean? So like if you're, you know what I mean? If if you're if you're not as computer literate, that's great because we want you to be able to we want everyone to be able to interact with us. Yeah. We want all the demographics. Like literally, we want everybody all in one place. Uh, Dad went for milk. Says, "Hi from the Netherlands. Almost 3:00 a.m. here." Uh, wow. God, up late. Great. God, I want to I want to visit Netherlands. So, what what's the username? Dad went for milk. Dad went for milk. But did you come back? That's the thing. Yeah, that's true. Cuz you know it was always dad went for a pack of smokes or you know what I mean? Well, the joke is milk now. Oh, it's milk. Dad went for milk and he never came back. And then he never came back. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's a little Yeah. No one smokes. Does anybody smoke anymore? No, not really. Not a lot of people. No, Jenz doesn't. Uh, yes and no. So, like the reason I say yes and no because technically vapes are still a thing, but yeah. Also, I used to smoke. Also, there's a company that that's basically right now making the rounds of making uh chewable tobacco again, right? And people are really getting into it apparently. Really? Chewable tobacco. Like Zen's like thing. Yikes. It's They don't call it Chew tobacco. They gave it like a whole new branding and a whole new kind of like feel. Here's the great thing about the app. You can be in a smokefree environment with the app. You know what I mean? Or smoke full. It's up to you really. That's like I I can't play at Doies anymore because it's so smoky. Uh, Holy Roller, gave it $4.99. By the way, Holy Roller, I got your uh you got he got to send me an email and send me an email. I I forgot I meant to follow up. I was just thinking about you today, sir. Says I'm on the investment. Yeah, we're have So, here's here's that other here's the other part of it. We uh depending upon what we have three very well-healed individuals that have already reached out to us which I feel like and by the way if you're out there listening to me you have to know you guys know me anyways so I feel like you know I I we just had to have this you know conversation. I I my my feeling is is that I'm not sure how many people are going to want to um you know be be memory. We're hoping enough, right? We're hoping enough of you because John really would love to have a big audience that that contributes, you know what I mean? Like, you know, and you could contribute more or less like, you know, uh we we expect to have uh as far as a membership community, everybody will pay like 10 bucks and then when the app comes out, you'll just get the app, right? You'll get the player version of the app, right? Which we expect to be more, right? Uh and then um and then obviously you get to play a role, you get the betas, you know, betas being like the pre-release type of stuff. Uh, and then you could have your input and be sort of part of that community and you get you'd get some perks. We'd have you you'll you'll be on our development board. You'll know what what features are coming, what's being worked on. An idea was like skins. Uh, yeah. And you Yeah. So, you can skin your game or whatever the case is. Yeah. So, we have we have a lot of interesting features. Man, I wish I could share with you a really cool meeting, but it would be premature uh to do that. But, let's just say like, you know, we uh Alex and I have lots of inroads into a lot of casinos here in town. You'd be so surprised at how many how many friends now that that we know that have either taken over casinos or managed casinos. This is true. And and we are we are for the very first time changing the narrative. And and here's the thing, they they hate influencers. Casinos hate influencers. And they they hate influencers because of the you know the Mickey Mes and and this type of thing that are out there who are you know making these claims. And even if as a player you believe or don't believe that's not the issue. Casinos a lot of don't like some of the narratives, right? And you can imagine they're businesses. So, you know, whether or not you like, you know, what someone's doing, casinos, you know, the optics are important to them. Even if if if it's not true, you know, it's a perception, right? But we can have conversations like we have this one casino right now that that a friend of ours and we're we're going to call him up and schedule meeting, go down and say hello. Why not? Uh he he's happy to talk with us, right? And no one can do that. There are very very few people that have that kind of and and again not because we're all that smart. Uh but just because you know we're we're nice guys, man. I don't know what to say. Um Splink, I think I said that right. Says, "When is Dennis and David's food reviews coming back?" I know. Can't wait for Listen, it's I can finish the the thing before you relax. Chill the hell out, buddy. We even got the perfect car for it, too. I can't wait to see you guys around on the 19th. Going to have you teach my wifey learn how to play craps. Oh, that's fantastic. The D and Ds are coming back whether we at some point. So, well, the thing is time cuz they, believe it or not, they take a lot of time to do. Yeah. Uh because it's it's number one like an hour or two of David and I miss him so much. Back when we used to do them, I wasn't the main YouTube manager. I was just doing working on that and that made it a lot easier. Yeah, he has more [ __ ] on his plate now. But I but I miss them. We have so many great ideas. We we uh there there there's some great places here. So, oh, some really great and we we actually do have some ideas for those uh that that would make them more unique than just us going to eat. Um Razer spelled weird says this is an app that will only be for strategies or can you do real money tournaments? No, no real money tournaments, but you know what? Here, how about better? Without you risking any money, you can get a actual reward free. So, so we're not going to play with like the licensing. We don't want to be any of that stuff. So, we don't want you to have to pay real money. We want this to be fun and strategies and the math and all that other stuff. But, we do want to have tournaments and and the great thing is is if you're on network play and you play the tournaments, tournaments will be free, right? Uh, and you'll be able to kind of either finish here at Casino Quest or we do have casinos that are willing to give away money, free money for free entries, you know, for you just having have arrived. Like we we had a table reserved like where a final table that could have played out. In fact, we at one point we were going to sync it up. John has this event every year. It's called Craps for the Cure. And we were going to ideally sync it up with that. But of course in the same week that we had you know started navigating that discussion uh you know we let's just say our the fork in the road hit us. Okay. How about that? The fork in the road hit us. But yeah it's one of those things where we you know that would be a plan for much later in the app once it's built and these type of things. Yeah. Um but but casinos want you. They literally want you. So if you're willing to come to Vegas and you're willing to even start at the app and come to Vegas, be part of the app, it's a great branding, especially especially for a good cause like craps for the cure, right? And so so a couple players make make, you know, get some money, right, for having invested zero because if you pay into it, then it becomes it has to be licensed and it's casino game and this real this different it's a whole different thing. But the casino can give away money. Yeah, we have some crazy ideas for it, but that's one of those things you're just going to have to wait and see later on. later on. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, the thing just went weird. Uh, do you think mobile roulette is rigged? I Yeah, I wouldn't play any online roulette. I'll be honest with you. Um, I think the I think it's joking. Like, would like the app? Oh, would it be You can rig it only. It's It's only rigged when you martingale. Yeah. Not on the Lambert. Not on uh Manel. Yeah, guys. We're going to hard code it. So every time you martingale, it makes you lose. It's more rigged the more you martingale. If you 3x or 4x martingale, that's where the rigging comes 100%. If you're playing that one strategy that you can't lose if for 19 losses in a row, that's when it Alex actually experienced that firsthand. He had 19 no third dozens in a row. That was amazing. That was that's that's that's amazing. Uh Martin says, "I'm confused to CQ Nexus as to the levels of membership. In other words, are there levels where the dues include not having to pay for each craft strategy?" Yeah. So, we had a um we had a we had a one we had a few people that luckily got that by the way. They get all the strategies, but we we we did have one uh like one all-inclusive where you just pay once or you pay monthly. It was like a subscription. subscription based where you get all the strategies. But uh I mean realistically what happened was what happened was at the time we don't have a whole lot of strategies and so people paid for that and then they cancelled and then you know now there's there's quite a few strategies now what is there eight yeah but I will I will say at least from our perspective right now until we have a lot more where it's like a big repository. Yeah we it won't you won't see that for a minute and we we are evolving. So just so you know like right now on Patreon we give you the free a free strate access. We have a new free one about about I say about every month. It's not exactly right down of the day. Uh but we we are trying to eventually move everybody over to the Nexus on on CQ Nexus. And for now it's not really a membership based thing. It's just a it's a pay as you go thing, right? So if you if you want any of the stuff uh and and and they're really good. We we're we're really learning. So it's built on Kajjabi if you're familiar with that. So we're still learning Kajjabi a little bit. So, we're going to put out we're going to show you uh so so there's a feature now where we can do like the payw wall instead. So, we can you can get like the first part of the course and you can see and and and you know what I mean? See if it's any good or see if you like it and then and then once you get to a point then you then you pay for it because I feel like that's kind of a missed opportunity for us. But, you know, we have a craps course, a craps dealer course in there that we spent four years and then two year two two years of development and then one year of filming. He struggled a lot with that too there. I know. But we we worked on it forever, dude. You have no idea how much how many resources all of us put into that. I also want to mention too for the strategies. I think the other thing too is we don't want to put anything up that we don't like. So as we come across things that we like, that's how we add to the strategies part. So yeah. Yeah. That that is another part. Yeah. There are strategies that we do we hate. That's that's not Yeah. We're not just going to like start pumping random strategies or they're so easy that you learned it on YouTube already. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like we're not going to teach you Alex's like basic system where it's like collect three times and then press. Yeah. Like if you can't do that, maybe you should come to Casino Quest and learn. Yeah. So there there's some of that like we we don't So it's got to be legitimate and we try to provide like the SR we just put up single player or single roulette player. Uh and that is done by Daniel. Daniel's almost is a 30-year uh a 33y year roulette instructor and high limit. He's literally works at one of the top tier casinos even right now and he's a fantastic teacher. So if you're looking at single zero and you don't know single zero, it's not just because it has one zero. They let you play in ways you can't play in regular life. Well, you can play, but you there's no one keeps track of sections like that. Like even as Alex knows the wheel as better as good as anyone and he can't like do the whole section. Can you bet on or any of those stuff? Uh not really. No, you'd have to know the wheel. Like there they you just put up a bet and they bet the whole section for you. Yeah, there there there are nuances, differences. You should go see it. If there's we have a video on YouTube that doesn't fully explain the depth with Olga. Yeah, it doesn't explain the depth that it does on CQ Nexus, but if you want to kind of get an idea, can I share crazy? I was looking up roulette resources or single zero roulette resources to try and see. So I asked chat GBT, are there any single zero roulette resources? And you know what? The video he brought up was my video with Olga. You remember that one that we did? Holy crap. That was a long time ago, too. Yikes. Chat GBT is loving himself some CG or herself or whatever. Uh Alan Toy was $4.99 says he's loaded. Need to make sure that the app can take my stroking action. See you in September. You know what would be funny actually. You have like an Allen toy mode. Yeah, the Allen toy mode. Let you stroke the hell out of I would love to put his voice in there all the way up. You know what I mean? Like just all the way up. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah. Hi. Yeah. Stroke the dealer. Like we'll have a deal. We have a dealer mode and you can put Allen toy instead of like press or power press. It's just literally everything to even the $3 change on the 4 and 10. Throw everything on there. Yeah. Everything. Yeah. He doesn't take a single dollar, dude. He literally could. So you end up with the most biggest I remember years ago. Remember when he came to live? It took us longer just to break the bet down, dude. Yeah. You remember that? It's just we didn't even know what the hell was, you know? Yeah. Uh, Anthony says, "I have a question." Yes. Y'all said y'all don't like Fibonacci, but Hopscotch Fib Pro Max was a grapefruit. Do you still like this one? Yeah. But together, so together it worked out great. Uh, I can chime in on that. So, originally the Fibonacci, the problem is when most people do Fibonacci, they do Fibonacci on the one to one. That's number one. Yeah. Number two, uh, Fibonacci is not bad, but the problem with Fibonacci is that when you go do the Fibonacci, like when you get to that streak, right? Like I think it's eight eighth level of Fibonacci. Yeah. You can't make your money back. You can never make your money back. And that's the problem is that when you play Fibonacci, it's all funding games until you hit that one streak of Fibonacci. Yeah. Now, we did that one the other day with the five streets. I like that. I don't know. Oh, no, that didn't go out. Uh, yeah. So, that that one also I was I was shocked that they rated it well. I'm I'm not going to lie. Which one? Uh the well the problem is because it's still the same issue. It was it was five streets. Yeah, I liked it. I remember I liked it. But instead of 12, it's 15. I like that. I actually think that I mean Okay, there you liked it a lot. This is one of those things where even cuz even the comments were like, "What the fuck?" Like you guys rated this so much higher than Yeah, because that makes more sense than Fibonacci. I think it's biased. No, it's 100% biased because it's it cuz I play I've already played it this past week. We liked it. Hey, different flavors. But but the other part of it is if you get too high. Yeah. There you still can't make it up. Like the math doesn't work out really. Yeah. Well, does the math ever work when you get too high on Fibonacci? No. You have to go down a two and then hit again. Yeah. So instead, so if you go to you can't go back down to to one. You That's why David like keeps with the Lambert. The Lambert's easier. You have to go down to five. Yeah. I mean the the system that we did that one with the five streets, it's a $500 buy which is reasonable. Most Fibonacci are like infinite, you know. Yeah. you have 5,000 plates. That's the other dynamic of why they might rate it higher is basically you only Fibonacci with what you have for the bankroll, not anything more. Yeah. By the way, when we rate these systems, it's based on all the pieces, all the factors. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you if all of a sudden you show up at five grand, then we probably wouldn't have rated it the same way. Like the one we did three steps, 200 bucks. I mean, that's great for 200 bucks. No, see, that makes sense. But I don't know. Anyways, we we can argue about that, but I'm going to move on. Right. Uh, we can go on and on. Hello, Freedom Boner. Blake Nations says, "What's a B and Ernie or Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy?" Just kidding. Watch a bunch of y'all's videos. Keep them up. What is your favorite four kino numbers? I guess that's a question for both of you. Yeah. So, I would four kino numbers or five. So, four ko. So, six through 10 are my ultimate all favorite. So I would say 6 7 8 10 taking out the nine. I have a little bias against the nine. I used to play this really messed up system and I and I would see this. Anyways, I the nine line was always a perplexing. But my favorite my four favorite is 67 810 without the nine. Believe it or not, yeah, you wouldn't know. If you're not a kino player, you wouldn't understand. So I I always used to play at the top right and I finally whacked the top right and so I moved to the top left. Wow. I know. It's just earthshattering. But I have this he's he's seen me. I know you guys might have seen me. I have this 20 card compounded top right system that I can mark up in like seconds that people are always like Yeah. CQ slots if you haven't seen it. Um because there's I saw a couple of you earlier talking about we're going to start a slot like we didn't have already have a slot channel. We have a SL, but it's Kino, so it's it's a niche of a niche of a niche. It's a pretty nichy thing. Although, God, I love it. I, you know, I It's such a great just sort of uh release, you know what I mean? From table games. Every now and then I meet I meet a fellow Kino. Uh yeah, but I I try to avoid four four car or four numbers on a card because it just doesn't the payback is so low. I used to have a friend that would do multis of threes and so you you know you get enough of them but even if you compound them and get enough of them at once this is for the kino people already Alex is is is really starting to check out there you can see it what's your favorite spot eight spots nine spots like what's the what's the optimal so so the optimal number of spots are the number of is the game where you get your money back for less than half so I will bet seven spots nine spots uh and Uh yeah. So, seven spots and nine spots are the best I feel. Okay. I don't even think eight spots. Go ahead. I'm going to move on from I know Dennis is just tapped out. One of these days we'll have like a AMA kino on the slot channel. Yeah, on the slot channel. Uh Anthony Ramirez says, "Also, what is the magic dollar number that you're say, okay, I'm walking away for what game?" He didn't say what game, so I guess give. give a bit of all. Okay. Can I cuz I know Well, here let let's Alex, you have a you have an amount. Uh let's say for example like I'm playing craps, right? Let's say I'm playing 66 inside. So let's say we get the hot rolls finished. I will once I get the next seven out with that 66 inside, that's when I'm done playing. Really? What? So but he's like what what's the what's the magic number in terms of like you know what are you leaving? What do you how much money do you need to win? like, oh, um, usually like, let's say a $300 buying, if I can like win two, 300, that's usually pretty good for me. 300. Yeah. This is why I'm not good at Wow. Become more conservative. Yeah, he has. He's his old age is starting to catch up to starting to show. No, I used to be like, you went 200, you're like, I'm not going to walk away with 200, by the way. 300. 300's good. Listen listen to the sound of my voice. Perhaps that's why. Listen here. Listen here. Listen, listen, listen. I have this conversation constantly when people come in. Okay, here's the here's the I I will say like instead of the empathy thing, here's the intellectual thing. Every game works differently. If if you don't if you don't as a gambler, most gamblers just do not understand. They just not see the context of the game itself. So, first of all, forget the math. Okay? And you're going to be like, how could you forget the math? Well, because you don't if you focus too much on the math, the math does not equal opportunity. And again, on CQ Next is my blog. Just read it. Read the article. It's not even a long article. Takes two minutes for most people. It's it's an easy thing. But if you want to create opportunity on the table, you have to understand how the money works. Okay? So, I'm I'm going to answer in a very not the shortest way, okay? But but stand by, okay? If you're playing roulette and you are trying to double, triple, quadruple your money, you are probably playing a very risky system. A mathematically, you know, you're playing a very risky system. You're putting a lot of money out. You're Marting. You're not maybe not necessarily Marty G, but you're you're leaning in. there's too many steps, too much of the tricks, whatever the case is. The idea behind roulette is unless you're psychic, right? Unless you can pick out the number is, you you come with a thousand to win a hundred. You're you're actually grinding out wins by taking advantage of how the money flows. Like the nullie is a great way. Uh the five double streets, you know what I mean? There there's there are ways where um that that you can bet and cover get a decent amount of coverage. You're you're grinding out these small wins. And the other thing you have to keep track of is how quickly you can recover. Right? So if you have a system where you're covering the whole place and then when you lose, god forbid that one time you lose, now you need 20 wins to make up for the one loss, that's a terrible system, a terrible way to play roulette. If you're someone who thinks that you're just going to bet a number straight up and just, you know, parlay that or whatever the case is, it's a very risky way to play. And and so again, roulette is you come with more, you leave with le you leave with less, right? you you you shave off. When he sees less, he doesn't mean like just lose. He means, you know, 500, win 200, and then don't double your buying. Do 100% ROI on that's it on roulette. Now, craps is not that game. If you were hanging out at crap table, and I know that you know this is true. If you if you play craps, the curve of the game is there's seven, it's called table. You walk up, you lose, you lose, you lose. And then when you win, you don't win enough to cover the losses, right? You can't that craps works on one thing only and that is a shooter rolls numbers. Now you're going to say, "Well, what do you mean David? People play on the don'ts, dude. I could have the whole this is a whole another discussion at some other time, but but there's there's that those aren't wins. The wins are when someone gets 40 rolls, 50 rolls, 60 rolls, whatever the case. Those are the big wins. That's when the table loses a [ __ ] ton of money, right? And the people that are able are there with the right system and the right you know the right strategy the right bankroll those are people that capitalize that and then they win so much more money that they make up for the losses. That's how crafts work. So you if you're not out there trying to triple quintiple go five times or 10 times your bankroll. I know it sounds silly. I know it sounds like a lot from a gambling perspective but it's about leaning into that straight. It's about risk leveraging and craps gives you that opportunity unlike any other game. You see blackjack. One of the best systems for blackjack is 1325 chat shatbt to give you a betting system for blackjack. It literally comes up. That's the best system. That's literally how it's a great way to play progressively relatively conservatively and move up your system, right? Because it's a flat betting game unless you want to just go all in and do six hands and six wins and you compound and you power press everything. I mean, that's what David does. You know, I give myself 20. Why am I already getting I know. It's just I I like I'm thinking every time David gets to answer something. Yeah. It's like a competition in his head. How long can I take to answer before someone gives me [ __ ] I just I just It's amazing how you'll spend people will come to Vegas with 500 bucks, right? And then just blow their minds. They have no They have no knowledge. They lack knowledge. They lack discipline. They lack strategies. They lack all these things. But yet when you go to buy a refrigerator, you'll spend hours researching and comparing and going through. You know what I'm saying? do that. You know what I mean? We're here for you. Oh, okay. This is unmerciful dog. Oh, God. Says, "Why you say oh god?" Listen, if you're going to be a dog, be an unmerciful dog. Well, they spell a d a wg dog. Okay. Uh, do you think I could take the course of it and then audition? I'm guessing they mean for crash, but I any game really. So, here's technically what we're allowed to tell you because we're we're we can't imply that we're a licensed trade school and and our state is way behind the curve when it comes to, you know, online training. The truth of the matter is is if you have a cert if you have knowledge and you apply yourself and go down and take a audition, all you have to do is pass the audition. No one gives a crap about the certificate. In the in the in the thousands of people we've graduated from this school, guess how many casinos have asked for the certificate? Zero. Zero. So, any school telling you, now here's the difference. If you come from CG, that adds weight. It really does. I I can get people to casinos based on, you know, by the way, not every student gets through the same way. some better students. So, you know, some have to kind of break in a little more, some, but I know people that have gone through that course and and have literally come to the school and passed a pass past audition with me. We sent them right out. So, if if you go through that course, uh I even have we have one person that went through the express course that ended up coming here as a dealer and going through, you know, who you are, working now. Yeah. As a dealer, didn't need a whole lot of time. You know what I'm saying? And that was a two-day course, dude. Yeah, I will I will chime in though. There's a lot of hands-on stuff that you have to come in and work with us like spinning the ball and roulette, you know, like there's certain things mechanics wise. So, if you're But on craps, I I do feel like there's so there are so many casinos, maybe not in this market, it would be tough, but let me just say that if if you get through the craps dealer course, it's a huge head start. Yeah. Now, the roulette that that that's why the roulette one. So, Roulette and Bakarat courses that we have are just really intro. It's just to give you a heads up from the dealer's point of view. We even call them intro courses. They're not meant to really replace actual training because like like Alex said, you have to know how to you you're just not going to be spinning the ball, dude. There's no way to really, you know, simulate that wheel and and all the picture bets stuff like this. Bakrat 2 because there's a cadence to it and, you know, the whole thing. But uh the blackjack one is actually very good. I feel like you you have a good shot at passing a blackjack audition. So in other words, to put it very basically, your results will vary, but if you apply yourself and you work hard on especially the check drills because that's where most people fail. Yeah. Yes. But but there's a caveat. A lot of it depends on you. I I will listen. We know two people who went behind our payw wall on CG when I was teaching craps and and one of them moved here and got a job. Yeah. uh literally came here and got a job as a crap dealer just just following that. So this crap dealer course is on a next level. You know what I mean? Like a big we we worked really hard on it. You have no idea how many hours he put into that course. Yeah. It's ungodly. It It's over It's longer than the entire Fellowship of the Rings the video video parts of it. The extended versions combined. All of them. All the Fellowship All the Fellowship and Hobbit movies combined. Yes. And we've we we know it's longer than 20 hours, but we don't know the exact time. It's it's it's a lot. It was a lot of work. It's a lot of work. It was a lot of work. Well, we do have a couple super chats from Lenny McMillion. Gave us $4.99 and didn't say anything. So, thank you. Thank you, Lenny. I'm going to butcher this name so badly, but uh SMB it. It's a bit Tony. It's a couple in San Antonio. So, okay, that makes more sense. He knows everybody, too. It's crazy. It's 499. He g They gave us 49 chat says, "Lead up the the great work, guys. Awesome live so far." Yeah. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. Anything else? What is the one craft strategy that you will play if you walked into Ellis right now? If I walked in, I would do double tap or squeeze play depending upon the table. So, if I wanted to, if I if I was only in for 300 bucks, uh, so if I had 500 bucks on a $5 table, I would do ultimate squeeze play all day forever. If I had $300 on a $10 table, I'm going to do double tap. If I had $300 on a $10 table, I think I would play um what's that one strategy we did uh recently? 3D printer. The three bit. Oh, 3D. Yeah, 3D printer, by the way, is fantastic. We have a lot of people kind of switch into that. But but I I do love that strategy. Uh if I had $300 on a $5 table where you can split, right? If you have less money on a if they have a $5 table, 300 bucks. Well, I like it because you don't have to add money for the presses. Yeah. You don't have to add any money and you get out a little bit. Yeah. You actually get some money back. That's why I'm okay with we we have all three of those strategies, by the way, are in our CQ Nexus. And we break it down between and the 3D printer. Well, one which one do we do all the way for uh ultimate squeeze play to the high top uh bird game, the the eight uh 500? Uh any of the paid ones go all the way to uh big birds. Yes. Yeah. So, we do it I mean from your $5 game all the way to your $100 table. So, we we give you all the units and you can you know we slow it down. We break it down. Most of those have sheets. I think one of them does not have a sheet cuz it's just a power. It's just a regular press as a power press. Uh yeah. I think it was one of the free strategies. It's triple D that you can change because it was pretty easy. It was pretty easy. Yeah. But the other ones we we break it down for every level. Uh so that you can you can kind of understand all the units and we go into all the communication, budget tiers, gold tiers, all that stuff. So it's it's not like what we do for YouTube, you know, we we actually go down into we it really is a deep dive. Oh, someone's confused that there is strategy for betting blackjack. It's mostly how you manage the money. Yeah. It's all money management. As long as you don't martingale, you'll be fine. Yeah. There there there are there are two basic money management strategies for for blackjack. And then there's obviously basic strategy that you play based on the game, right? Uh and most of those basic strategies, they're all very very similar. There are some very small nuances based on, you know, double deck or shoe or you know what I mean? There there's the money strategy, you know, how to take money off of the game. You want to know how that guy won $30 million, the very famous player, blackjack player back in the day, which who of course lost all that money back, but uh you know, he he he he didn't just what they call flat bet. If you flat bet a game here in Vegas, you you can't win. You you will win maybe a little bit, but but casinos love you. They absolutely love you because you're literally their player because it's all about assenchair. The minute you try to accelerate that, do you know, we won't tell you what it is cuz we want to There's a strategy that a casino has asked us not to play at the casino on blackjack. A a a a a betting uh money management system. They they have asked us not to work with. They literally called us, table director called Alex and said, "Okay, well, we're happy to have you come by, but you can't play this way." And let me just say that it involved risk because the risk is is is what hurts a casino is when you're wanting to lean in. We did a video, by the way. It worked out great. Remember that? It worked out great. And and literally just they do not want us sharing that or at least sharing that as little as possible because that's the part that casinos that that make because if everybody started playing that way, right? if everybody started playing correctly, you know, or or and exercising risk leveraging and and leveraging risk and and leveraging opportunity at the casino, uh then then you know, I just want to throw out when he says that he's not saying it's a guaranteed win or anything. No, it's not a guaranteed win. Uh no, I'm I'm saying that now because you're you it's someone's going to misconstrue that. We don't want to misconstrue anything. So, it's not a guaranteed win way to win. It's just the it's just the way the math works that ends up kind of hurting the casino a little more. It's the mindset really of how you're playing and that's really what that's what it is. Yeah. Well, we're me and so me and Jet who who just left, we're doing a video and we're going to basically show how you know these games right on on their own only have they have pretty low house edges for the most part because that's how they're there's a gaming commission that dictates you know how much the casino is supposed to win. This casino wins a lot more, right? because people literally just don't understand how the games work in a very material way. Or what casinos really love is if you play the math, you play the math all day. If you're on a craps game and you are betting a pass line with odds, double odds and a comeat, you're playing what they call two point molly, three point, whatever it is, casinos love you. Absolutely love you because they're just they just want to see all those bets in play all day long and they want to middle the game. that's their only and if you think that's the opportunity of the game because you have leaned into the math and you are focused on the math and God bless you and thank you for keeping so many of our dealers employed. I mean that that's all there is and you know we appreciate that. That's not true. Uh we're going to do two more questions and then we'll go from there. Uh someone asked, "Do you sell those Casino Quest polos in white?" No, we do not. Which one? Casino Quest Polos. We don't we don't sell anything in white to be honest with you. I know, man. I know you would be. We've tried to sell shirts in white and people really and the hats they get so dirty that's a problem. People are not a big fan of white. I would love that by the way. And then this one is We have Tennessee orange though, don't we, buddy? Yeah. No, it's actually it's also Nevada Nevada traffic cone orange. Orange. We we David but that's our state flower. I was influenced by the snapper. Snapper needed a shirt and so we just went all in on Tennessee orange. Yeah. Better than the raspberry one. That was pretty good. That's right. I I forgot the raspberry one. Uh Dakota Dakota says, "Coming to Vegas for my 30th on July 4th. Where do I go for the best shot view?" Uh best view. Go to because they're coming July 4th. Fireworks view. Stratosphere by the way. Get packed. I don't know even know if you'll get up there for the fireworks because they so they have an observation deck in the top of Straa where you can drink and get milkshakes. Dude, they have custom they have milkshakes up there. It's fantastic. But uh you know what I hear is really fantastic if you happen to get a reservation and top of the world up there. Uh it's uh very very hard especially on days when there's uh you know fireworks. Yeah. That type of very difficult and the observation room will will fill up uh and there's a there's a cost to go up that escalator by the way. So, it's not you have to pay. I don't know how they do reservations up there, but I can imagine I know that it's been busy in the past like where I haven't been able to get up there. Uh there there's a point which they you know there's no more occupancy. But that's a great place to watch. The other great place to watch, by the way, if you want to see the all of the fireworks playing out in front of you, and this is a this is a bit of a hack for Vegas, but I used to take pictures. I used to go there myself when it was the Hard Rock. Now it's the Virgin Virgin. There's a parking garage and you know what? They started putting up cones. You can't even access the back side of that parking garage. But this parking garage is laid out in a way where you can see the skyline of the strip. You know what I mean? At night. Me and Dennis have gone when it was still available and take a pictures there. I mean, if you wanted to if you're not coming in a car and you're just walking there is probably the best thing to do. Well, just park somewhere else and then you walk into that parking. So, it's the parking garage that's on the What is that street on the other? So, it's Paradise and Harman. Paradise and Harman. Yeah. So, on the Harmon side. So on the Harmon side, there's a parking far parking garage before you would to pass it going on Harmon on the right hand side and just park your car somewhere around there and then just walk your ass up to, you know, there's just cones. They just put up cones. They're not about to take down the whole damn garage. Uh but when they have events like this, they don't let people park there because people take up the spaces and watch, you know, the fireworks. But it's fantastic for photos. Absolutely great. It it's it's if you've seen some of the skyline photos and and and things that they have of Vegas, they've all that's where they took those. They literally took those over there. I've actually been at the one of the top rooms uh at the Hard Rock that was facing that way once and it wasn't anywhere as good as as you would think that being the higher Yeah, the park is because Dennis will will tell you cuz he's a photographer. Oh, yeah. No, it's it's a beautiful view. I I I if I had the pictures and ready, I would show you because it it shows you exactly what we're talking about, but I don't. Yeah. Maybe maybe a different live show will show. It it's the clearest uncompromised view of of the of literally like the Vegas skyline of anywhere in Vegas any any vis any and I've been here for 34 years and I've tried myself to and that's it's fantastic. Okay, so well I lied cuz we got a super chat. So this is going to be the last one and then we're done here guys. Unless there's another super chat cuz we're going Well, we got a $1.99 from DOE. Thank you Dango. Uh says, "What's the best craft strategy on a cruise ship?" So, I guess you're more grinding for time than you are really to go for the win, right? Um, this is true. Uh, I I really think double tap keeps you alive for a long time, especially if you play a lower I I still say like squeeze play, two bit, those type of strategies or like a duck ragu. Duck ragu would be great. Although I mean the great thing about inside doing double tap it, you know, it's hard unless you get 7s just success as long as you're getting a couple numbers. And and the one thing that we the caveat for have we added the on double tap is any third number you still come down like you still reset to that 44. You don't have to wait for a double tap. So that's one of the things that I I corrected and I've been teaching lately is even if you don't get the number coming back, right? If you get a, let's say you get a five, a six, and then an eight, that eight, once you hit that third number, still come down just to the 44. Now, you still don't have enough to go across and get your money back, but go down on the inside and you have almost all your money back, right? So, you're only down a couple bucks. You're only down a couple bucks, right? And so, now you just you're just staying even. You're staying ahead of it. You're still getting out. It's so hard to to defeat that strategy, let's just say, right? if you if you come with the right bankroll and that kind of thing. Unless it's the table just ridiculously cold. You know, if you experienced the 7.7s in a row that Alex experienced. Oh, no. Actually, it was worse than that. I didn't tell you. We did the BBC I did a BBC with gentlemen. I can't remember the name off the top of my head. I have to look at my phone. We went to the Palms and it was uh 12 PSOS. And he and by the way, like it was a group of four of them. They just bet the six and eight. It was literally 12 PSOS. Wow. Yeah. See, you can't make up for those. Now, were there any winners on the come out, bro? Like sevens or 11s on the come out? Just point 7 7 8 Wow. Five seven. It was literally crazy. And that's where dope people will be like, "What? Look at that. I could have won all that money on the donuts." But this is not true because in that in that one instance one situation. Yeah. And then you just get one hot shooter or five sevens in in a row because I've seen that more often, right? I mean, the six ways of the dice, you get five or 11s, right? Uh and so and and you just reset. You know what I mean? By the way, don't don't players are loved. We we casinos love flat betting, you know. They just they just love it from all sides. Original squeeze play I've also played for like eight hours straight. Original squeeze play. Yeah. Not ultimate squeeze play. I played ultimate for five hours straight, but not not but Westgate. You were playing for regular Ultimate Squeeze Play didn't exist then. He played regular squeeze play for literally like I know birthday bash. We couldn't get a hot roll. We couldn't get We couldn't get him out of the casino, dude. Jerry Jerry's I played uh I played ultimate squeeze play and I survived the whole time until we got that roll. Four of us got a hot roll. Just one. Oh, see that another Hey, as long as you're super chatty, we're standing right doing this. He's just Hey, that's okay. Listen, whatever we got to Anyways, Matt, hi Matt was $4.99 says, "I want a milkshake." Alex, this is a milkshake time. Uh great time out there. Thank you for the great time. You guys are the best as always. Thank you so much. Isn't that great? They have milkshakes up there. Yeah, he came in and did a 30 roll. Oh, really? He came in. No, 15 spin roulette challenge. And you got milkshakes? No. What happened was I I took him to a hard style that the daylight later that night. I was like, "Do you have ADHD?" He's like, "Yeah." I was like, "Okay, well, there's this event that's free." And then he of course he enjoyed it cuz he has ADHD. Yeah. Okay. So, it was a good time. So, say we are we all right. So, I'm off to Keynote to unwind. And the truth is, thank you guys. I'll see you guys. Thank you so much. Bye. That was fantastic.
