Boomerang: The Heartbreak Of Loving Someone Who Keeps Coming Back Broken!


{My Take}

Folks, we all know somebody who’s been dragged through the darker backroads of life. The ones who drink ‘til their buddies can’t recognize ’em… the ones who stare into the mirror and don’t see the same soul looking back. They swear off the bottle, only to get yanked right back into that same old storm.

This song is for them—every friend, every brother, every sister who’s been caught in that hard‑living loop. Boomerang is dedicated to the ones still fighting to find their way home!

{The Story Behind The Song}

Underneath all the dust and neon lights of Las Vegas, Boomerang is a story about a man trapped in a hard‑hitting loop. He’s a man caught in a sorrowful loop — drinking until he turns into a stranger nobody knows anymore, not even the folks who love him most. Every time he slips back into those old ways, he fades into a ghost of the man he used to be, leaving nothing but worry and empty space behind. And somehow, he still manages to stand back up… only to tumble right back into the same hurting cycle that breaks hearts every time it comes around.

Underneath the story is a bigger truth. Boomerang isn’t just about alcohol — it’s about how easy it is for any of us to lose ourselves to the wrong things. Addiction, bad choices, toxic love, chasing ambition too hard, carrying grief too long… all those forces can slowly bend a person into someone their loved ones barely recognize. That “ghost” in the song is a symbol of that painful transformation — when you look in the mirror and don’t see the same soul staring back, and when the people who care about you feel like they’re losing you one piece at a time.

I want you to listen to the song yourself. See if it reminds you of someone close to you. See if it hits you the way it hit me.

Sometimes a song doesn’t just tell a story — it shines a light on one we’ve lived ourselves!

Which Casino Games Can Be Played Professionally: Easy Money You Think?

Besides writing, If you know me. You know that I'm heavy into the gambling scene in Las Vegas.

Over my 26 years living here, I've experienced pretty much every aspect of gambling life, including lessons from pro gamblers and pro poker players. I've covered blackjack, poker, and slot tournaments. I've covered and have played in the World Series of Poker. I've interviewed the top professionals in many of the games that Las Vegas has to offer. And the slot machines in Vegas have been a learning experience for me. 

Over the years, I've written many articles about these games and a blog or two (Or A Hundred) about which games have the best odds of winning and which games someone could actually make a living at playing. 

Today's blog is about which casino games can be played professionally.

Several casino games can be played professionally, meaning skilled players can gain an edge over the house or other players. Enough edge to make a living at playing them.

Here are my top 5 games that you can cash in on if you have the edge.

Poker.

Poker is played against other players, not the house, making it one of the best games for professional play. Skilled players can consistently profit by making mathematically sound decisions, reading opponents, and exploiting weaknesses.


Blackjack (Card Counting)

Using card counting, shuffle tracking, and advantage play techniques, skilled players can gain a small but consistent edge over the casino (usually 0.5%–1.5%). However, casinos actively monitor and ban card counters.


Sports Betting (Arbitrage & Handicapping)

Professional bettors (or "sharps") analyze statistics, betting lines, and trends to find +EV (expected value) bets. Some use arbitrage betting to guarantee profit by wagering on different odds across multiple sportsbooks.


Video Poker (Perfect Strategy & Promotions)

Certain video poker variations, such as "9/6 Jacks or Better," offer over 99% return with perfect strategy. When combined with casino comps and promotions, players can turn a small profit.


Craps (Controlled Shooting – Highly Controversial)

Some claim to have mastered controlled dice shooting (also called dice setting) to influence the outcome slightly. While debated, a few players have profited this way.

Other Games.

Add Baccarat to this list of casino games that it's possible to make a living at. There's really no strategy or skill involved. And with some of the best odds in the casino. Many players make money with this game.
Also, Slot Machines, if you have nerves of steel and a big enough bankroll.

In my opinion. Poker, Blackjack, and Craps rule!

While poker and blackjack are the most viable long-term options, the other games can also be profitable under the right circumstances.

Good Luck!
