Update on video poker quiz; and casino cars

Apparently some people had trouble getting to the video poker quiz we promoted in the print version of the Sun-Sentinel Friday. Sorry about that, my fault.

We were going to do our own version of a quiz by Michael Shackelford, taking his math and his situations -- with his approval. After all, he's done the math. Over and over. But then we thought if we just linked to his page, it would have the same effect for readers.

Didn't work. Lesson learned.

Anyway, the video poker quiz we're referring to is about a dozen situations, and answers on what to throw away and what to keep. Go to http://wizardofodds.com/videopoker/quiz.html

Meanwhile, you likely saw my story today about casinos and cars. Every time I was out there doing research, I swiped my card at each casino, just in case. I figured if I had won, it'd had messed up the story -- but hey, at least I'd have a car.

I was amazed at the low amount Coconut Creek is offering as the cash alternative to the car. $10,000 plus $2,500 in Free Play?
I don't go there, but if I did and won, I'd take the car and drive a mile to CarMax to sell it. I'm sure I'd be substantially ahead.
