Re: How much did Jamie Gold tip the dealers?
As has been mentioned several times (try the SEARCH feature, it rocks), it was indeed $1 Million.
But your comment is asinine. If Kenneth Lay won the lottery after Enron went bust and tipped the convenience store clerk a hundred G's, would that make him un-hateable? Ok, so that example was asinine. Instead, here's the bottom line -- he's a good tipper, and that's an admirable characteristic. But it hardly tells you all we need to know about a person. |

Re: How much did Jamie Gold tip the dealers?
Didnt ask. One of those things I wasn't comfortable badgering him about. We asked if it was true about the 1M and he said no. If he wanted to tell how much he tipped he would have at that point. The fact taht he didnt lead me to believe he was finished with the subject.

Re: How much did Jamie Gold tip the dealers?
It doesn't really matter. Given the extremely high vig charged by Harrahs, and the fact that 3% of each prize pool was supposed to be for the dealers, no tip is needed. And you're not a cheapskate for not tipping. It has been, or was supposed to have been, taken care of by Harrahs through the rake.
If the dealers weren't paid enough this year, then Harrahs screwed them, not the players. Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) |

I tend to think that an exceptionally large tip says a lot about a person. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, so do I. It says they're RICH. |
