A year of Quads - 2011

[shadowman]

Frank, it's even worse than -10% given the distribution of the quads. Very low counts on 2s, 3s, and 4s.

That is bigger:)Can you try to explain to the folks out there that we aren't saying SPX is lying.It's just not possible to have these results and lack a proportionate butt reaming.I'm off to dinner with my girlfriend. Cheers...

@shadowman I us my players card to keep count.  the casino i play mostly when they changed cpu chips a while back they also changed the pts system for VP so they obviously had it out for VP players.  You used to get 1 pt for $10 now you get 1 pt for $15 played (only on VP did they change the system).  200pts = $5 free play.  Its pretty lame.  Harrahs its still 1 pt 10$ play.
 
Just concluded my trip to Biloxi, looks like 7's are gonna be the quad for 2012 lol.
 
Here is the highlights or day 1:
Hands played 11,042
Hours Played 5:45pm to 4:30am (1 hour dinner break)
8/5 DDB - $1 progressive $5,900+
9/5 DDB Ace/Deuce+
6/5 Super Aces (gross not much of that till late)
9/7 TDB - $5 (1 or 2 credit mix) didn't have any $1 TDB only 5$ & 10$
 
A -1 (no kicker)
2 - 0
3 - 1 (was playing deuces 33233)
4 - 0
5 - 3 (once on deuces)
7 - 5
8 - 2
9 -1
10 - 1
J -1
K -2
SFD holding 1
 
Quads 1/650
Small sampling but the year is starting off just like every year, right on track with low #'s of low pairs.  I really wish somebody else would play along with me just for 6 months.  I have to see somebody else's results.
 
Things that stuck out:
Got a quick quad 8 on my first $50 free coupon.
Got a quick quad 10 on the next machine when using my $65 free play coupon.
All within about 5 hands of inserting the players card and coupon.
never got:
no 4 to the royal & not many trip aces or good drawing hands period.
3 of 17 quads were dealt.
 
The $5 machine was playing much better than the $1 machines many more full houses and flushed, pairs ect.  The $1 progressive was just a vacumme.
 
BTW - I never really questioned my quad hit/ratio, what really quirks me is the lack of equality between garbage quads and high paying quads.  That was my gripe.

I suspect he meant he hit a real quad quickly.

[shadowman]

Spx, you left out queens. It appears the count was zero but I thought I should verify.

 Good point. But just to be sure, is that what you meant SPX?  It does look like there are quick quads machines in Biloxi.  Do you ever play Quick Quads? This would be important information.

I did see the quick quads machine but no 99% of the time I play single line.  Every now and then I will play some odd games like Ultimate X, Double Super Times, 100 Play and I used to love to play Mult-Strike but my casino got rid of it a few years back.  I'll be at the Silverstar this weekend we will see how that goes lol.  I wish somebody else would keep a quad count with me.  We could start a thread and everyone could just update their post everytime they visit a casino so we could see the numbers overall.  That would be interesting.  A years worth of data by a handful of players.

I think that would be an excellent idea. But to be accurate we'll need point totals, method for determining hands played and results as a secondary method to verify standard deviation and double check people's accounting.Then if people get 50% less quads than they should, we'll have the 10% negative deviation in return to back up the data.I think this is a great idea, but if you're going to do it, do it right.I'm sorry but I can't share my data, since I'm partnered with a team. We have a non-disclosure agreement. If I could I would. I love this idea. For all you independent gamblers out there give it a try. Good record keeping is always a great idea. Always!!!~FKP.S. I'm still perplexed on how you managed to run that bad on 4K on TDB for that long and still have money left to play. You should be stuck at least half a million dollars. Did you get 5x Royals or something, what gives??? You do understand that paying hands are money and by getting less than expected on paying hands it means you also got less than expected return?Can you at least verify that you lost more than you should have, even if you don't cite a specific number? I can understand running bad. What I can't understand is running bad and not losing. Running bad on pays means running bad on return. They are indivisible.
