Derek: Hi, Emily. "Sin To Win?"

Emily: I'm sorry, what?

Derek: Come on now, I gotta know. What the hell is a Sin-To-Win Weekend in Atlantic City?

Emily: Derek, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, but there are some questions that, if you have to ask them, it means you probably couldn't handle the answer.

Derek: There is a whole 'nother side to that woman.

We can extract two unusual phrases from this conversation: “sin to win” and “sin to win weekend in Atlantic City.”

So …

What is sin to win?

Expectations:

1- Sin to win is an act of trading sexual acts for money and prizes.

In the series of Criminal Minds, Emily was planning on going on a 'sin to win' weekend in Atlantic City when the team was called to a case.

2- Sin to Win is real and is based on a book that discusses Sin to Win as a humorous and practical guide to using the seven deadly sins as a stepping stone to success. You will learn how to productively apply the seven deadly sins: pride, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, sloth, and covetousness to achieve your goals. Sin to Win examines each deadly sin, chapter by chapter, and shows you how breaking these sins can help you achieve the success you've been looking for. Packed with interviews, tricks, and serious sinning advice, this book is the One Minute Manager for the devil in all of us.

3- Consider the seven deadly sins. While "Sin to Win" may not be a widely recognized term, if you think about it, Avarice, or Greed, is one of the deadly sins. Oftentimes, large cities like Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and even casinos in smaller areas (I lived 15 miles from a casino) implement what is called "tightening the machines" on weekends, where they lower the odds of winning because they know the casino will be busier over the weekend, thus profiting more if fewer people win. Therefore, you would have to be greedy (a sin) to beat the odds and win.

4- I think that Sin to Win Weekend is a promotion at comic book conventions (Comic-Con) by Electronic Arts (EA Games) for the game Dante's Inferno (which is a third-person action-adventure game based on Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy). The idea of the game is to take a picture engaging in an "act of lust" with a "booth babe" and submit the photo for a chance to win a "weekend of lust."

5- In 2009, EA Games held a "Sin to Win" contest to promote its upcoming game (released in February 2010) based on "Dante's Inferno."

6- When used in the context of Atlantic City, it means that one is planning to go to the casino-heavy Atlantic City, often referred to as Sin City, committing some sins, and coming home after the weekend having won money from gambling.
