It's a pretty slow news day for The Big Game (and gaming in general), so I'll use the time to ask that if you're enjoying this site, why not let your friends and family know about it? We've made it really easy for you: just go to the Tell a Friend page (it will open in a new window), and enter your and their e-mail addresses. No need to worry about getting your (or your friends') e-mail addresses on some mailing list -- we don't record your information. We provide the service just to help you spread the good word. (Thank you!)

Here's some help for you if you're having trouble with your blackjack play: Certified Master Hypnotist, Don "The Dragon" Ling, has created a self-hypnosis tape that you listen to 20 minutes every day for three weeks. Apparently, he instructs you when to hit, stand, double down, etc. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know if I want "The Dragon" programming me. What if you don't play the same way he does? Like, how about if you have a soft 17 and you want to stand -- but "The Dragon" says to double down? It might get ugly.
