However what I would like to know is exactly what post or posts made him decide NOT to go. And what might have been said to sway his decision.

I honestly dont understand why ANYONE who collects chips or casino collectables would choose NOT to go if they had the option and the means.

Cant afford the trip? Thats a very solid reason

Have other things going on like work or other plans? Thats a solid reason

I would love to hear Jims reason since he infers that is is because of someones post.
