Yes, and no

There are actually a number in the series. There were three couple that won trips to Vegas for Supoer Bowl weekend.

One couple was a mother and daughter. The daughter had been to vegas a few times, but the mother had never been there. So they did the focus on them as Vegas First Timer.

The second couple's focus was Vegas on a budget. They did the 5 cent coffe, the 99 cent shrimp, the free shows and two for one buffets etc.

Of course there was me, with the focus on Gambling. It was supposed to be a combination of a bit of gambling, and then doing vegas for all it has to offer. That would be the better shows, the better meals and the better shopping. Once they went out with me playing craps and black jack they decided to go all the way with the gambling. They even used the phrase "Gambling Guru" on their promos! I didnt have the heart to tell them that Vegas was built with the money from gamblers that have systems.

Each of the couples would be interviewed in the studio on a Saturday morning on the AM Saturday program which airs from 8-10am. Then the produced segment would air that following Thursday.

In addition, there were additional segments that were filmed and aired on each of the Wednesdays.

One segement was on Mike Hennesy who is a native of Toledo and now is the Executive VP for the San Remo. Another segment was behind the scenes at the Folles Bergere. And of course there was the Chip Collecting segment they did on me which aired on Friday at 6:00pm.

The saturday segments werent put on the WTOL-TV website, but I have them taped. All of the Thursday night segments were put on the WTOL website and as far as I know are still there. The chip collecting video was just taken down, but you already have that one. Folles is still up as well. Any of the ones that are there on the WTOL site are on my hard drive and Ive just burned a CD with them all.

The only ones I have on videotape but not in digital format are the Saturday shows.

Take a look at the WTOL website and take a look at the other videos. If you want them, I can get them for you.

If you are referring just to segments on gambling tips and colling things, then that would all depend on if Im able to get raw footage from the station. Ive asked a couple of times but i havent been successful...yet. I still have to talk to the news director. The camera man hasnt come though, nor has the reporter. If im able to get raw footage, theres about 30 minutes of Gene on chips and an addition 45 minutes of me on chips. The Gambling segment probably has another hour on tips...do's and donts covering a lesson on Craps betting and play along with do's and don'ts on BJ. There was quite a bit on money management too. Actually there was some funny stuff in there i thought for sure they'd use. There were three times in a row where i was sitting at the BJ table and discussing things to do when the dealer gets certain cards and the player has for example lets say a 13. Low and behold the dealer gives me 13! the next I was discussing that the player should never ever take the offered insurance...even if the player has a black jack and the deal of course would have an ace. Guess what i got. Yep! i got a black jack to her ace. I refused the insurance, and she didnt have a 10 and ended up busting. But this happened three times in a row. the table was just loosing it. we were all roaring with gafaws.

Well, i didnt start out to write a novel...sorry about that. You know me...never at a loss for words.
