Me... just need to know what a bit is

 

[RocAFella1]

I count 5

 

[bluegill]

I would say I'll take them, but he can't be serious, or doesn't know the worth of a bit.

 

[legend672]

$75 , pretty sure that’s what I paid for them way back. Correct me if I’m wrong

 

[bluegill]

A bit is worth 12.5 cents....

6 bits is 75c, not $75, hence the confusion.

Six bits none the richer...or something like that.

If you said you bet a dime on the Patriots I would know you bet $1000. if you said you bet a dollar on the pats, I know you bet $100. I thought everyone called $75 bucks 6 bits.

 

[Marhault]

This whole thread has me confused. Who TF calls $75, 6 bits.

 

[liftapint]

I have a sample set of these too, but I would absolutely want 600 bits for it!!

I'm not gonna dispute but I'm far from a millennial. Either way I was just confused. So all's good now.

And Roger Miller...

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents.
No phone no pool no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah but, 2 hours of pushing broom buys an 8' x 12' 4 bit room.
I'm a man of means by no means, KIng of the Road.

Are those really Wynn chips ?

Are those really Wynn chips ?

Yes.

 

[Flat12]

Yes.

I'm glad they are sold such that my comments will not color this thread pre-sale.

One would have thought that Wynn, for all their prestige and presence, would have been able to come up with an inlay that did not look like it took inspiration from a plain jane doctor's bill with the typically poor physician handwriting scrawling a number to denote his consultation fees.

 

[legend672]

To be fair to the poor defenseless chips, they are much better looking in person.

In barrels/racks/stacks the color / spot / spot progression WAY MORE than make up for the simplistic inlays

omg wow if someone needs an example of chip nerds this thread would be it. and i love it.

 

[navels]

errrr I forgot about how badly that thread went off the rails . . .

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Yeah.... never mind on the example lol more of an example of how online forums tend to go

I have no idea what you mean.

Puppies >>> babies, still true.

Indeed I take your point on that.

And I admit I open a can of worms and deservedly invite some backlash for running my mouth off on an aesthetic matter that should be objectively viewed in reference to personal tastes.

Still, I'll be honest. The inlays tilted me. With all the money Wynn is raking in at Las Vegas and even more at Macau, and with their hotel establishments renowned for ostentatious displays of opulence, it certainly won't be too onerous for them to hire the services of say, J5.

Waiting to be skewered

Damn, I almost forgot about that thread, back in the day when I was a mod. Bet Tommy is regretting that decision.

Say what you want about @bergs and @jbutler (both banned), but they kept shit exciting. My day wasn't complete until someone was called a "fucking idiot". Life was much simpler then, all about name-calling, politard rants and hot dog sandwiches.
