Archie,
I knew you were a smart old bird! At a token $25 per hand avg (if they rate you in AC at $25 a hand?)4hrs, using a lowly 1% house edge, your TL is $60! $50 per hand is $120 and $100 is $240! Sounds like a hell of a deal for 26 NCV chips!! Hum, let's see, 26 x $120 (using $50 per) comes to a mere $3120.00 in expected loss for a fine collection!

Oh, I forgot to factor in the chance at part of $500,000! Sure you can count of those winnings to offset the expected loss! Please tell me the chip collectors in AC are smarter than this!!!
