This will probably be my last post before
Las Vegas. I'll be there next weekend as I have a week of road tripping around
San Francisco first. Should be good fun.
Went to visit my pro poker mate, Mr Welsh, this morning. He recommended I look at
this list to find some poker rooms to play at. The Bellagio is the big Mecca so I might try some cash limit games there. I'll also try out some $40 buy in
poker tournaments. We tried to install the betfair historical data application onto Welsh's machine but it was a real nightmare. For some reason, his version of
mySQL didn't like numbers enclosed in quotes ("'s). I therefore had to do a load of messy type casts, but it all worked in the end. While I'm losing money in Vegas, Mr Welsh will be working on some
stat arb models that will hopefully make us some coin from
football (initially) and
horse racing (later).
My speed dating mate got her rape alarm yesterday. I mentioned to
Rosie that I was concerned about a friend and had bought the alarm off ebay, but Rosie was not impressed!
