Gene; now I'm really confused. Previously it has been stated by some of the self-appointed chip police, whom have expressed opinions that it was o.k. if the pit boss gave you (or sold to you) the roulette chips. (You could check the treads in the BB archives from about a month ago).

That was not considered "stealing" according to those who are trying to set such high moral standards for others to follow... while some of them have their own skeltons in the closet they should deal with.

Now I read in a recent post prior to this one, that asking to purchase chips from a cocktail waitress IS "stealing".... and the waitress is about to get fired. Excuse me, something is askew here.

Evidently, the roulette war truce is short-lived as some people evidently can't look at themselves in the mirror while hung up on all this "thievery" going on.
I believe paranoia has set in. Notice no <vbg> here. Would be happy to discuss some of the details privately sometime.... over the telephone with you.
