No reason to keep 8%........screw that, these casinos are making money hand over fist.

I actually dont have a problem with the 8% at all...

I did come to a place where I have a lot less problem with it than I at first did.

Kiosks, Additional Staffing & all the other expenses of The Big Weekend, full accounting of all expenses involved would shock us I am sure + they have been coming out of pocket for the $15,000 Mini-Contest for however many years plus the Bonus for 67%+ Winner which the last (at least 2) Winners have done....

Giving Back some of that .25 Million on those Bonuses.

If ya look at in light of how much $$$$$ they have come up out of pocket for as many years they have, to do this thing...

....the 8% is seen a different light.


I do feel like they eventually reduce that to 6%....maybe not though, Jay is losing his mind I'm sure over the Prospect of Online Entry, I guess thats already before the Nevada Gaming Commission, like, "scheduled" to be heard?

Approval for Online Entry.

The System, The level of reliability in that, they will need......thats gotta be costing them some serious cash to set up and get in place.

In Jay's Shoes, and I am sure you can relate to this, you might consider hitting that $1,000,000 First Prize less important than generating Capital for the expenses that will come, when Online Entry get Approved and to recoup past large amounts of $$$$$ the Casino spent on this contest over the course of the many years they were coming out of Pocket for EVERYTHING surrounding this.

At the least I expect that most of us can relate to their "weighing" of hitting $1,000,000 vs. The Expenses Incurred.

In My Opinion Jay Kornegay makes among the best decisions in the Industry. This decision, to take 8% surprised me alot at first but considering it more "Big Picture" I understand it better.

When You Win It this season you can afford to get 3 Butts.

I'm not saying you would want 3 Butts just that, financially you could afford 3 Butts.

And I do grasp the impracticality of having 3 Butts. Especially on a Gurl your size.

You'd be like, 88% Butt with 3 Butts.

Plus theres likely other stuff you'd want to invest in, of course.


My Goal was to Motivate You....

....my sense is though, I didn't accomplish that.

when we are celebrating in Vegas and all eating steaks and crab legs all day, your big butt will be inevitable and you will regret wishing for one
