Good that theyre on the up and up. APs don't do any better than me. Im ahead lifetime, most of them are losers. Look at all these hotshot picture-posting "winners" and braggers here. Then read on, "but I lost on the trip, and its ok its ok cause sweetie and I had a good time though". Or how about the poster who knows the guy who tells him he gets gazillions in w2gs playing dollars..and the AP BELIEVED him! Yes, something sure IS fixed.

And you can take that to the bank, because Ill bet thats the only place you withdraw money.

Over the last 15 months I've made $17 per hour ($32 per hour so far this year) playing low-stakes Video Poker, mostly during promotions.  And that's not counting about $500 in slot club points yet to be played/spent.  Nor is it counting gifts, meals, or any other harder-to-quantify in $ items.  The overall trend line has never gone the wrong way.I can tell you how many Royals Flushes I have hit, but I cannot tell you how many hundreds of flushes and full-houses I have made.  I can tell you that I would, without question, not have been as productive if they had all payed short.

I estimate Im making pretty near $900 per hour at the machines so far this year. I dont play AP type machines, but for me the better paying flushes and fullhouses wouldnt hardly have mattered. If anything, they would have led me away from that 5play machine I hit and onto some quarter or 50 cent sharpie game, leaving me crying in my beer.

  Backsider how can you estimate that you are making pretty near $900.00 per hour at the machines so far this year when, as you have stated, you haven't played since you made the 20k hit?    Because you have not played, then, your near $900.00 per hour estimate will not change until you play again.

[Quad Deuces]

I'm not "estimating."  I know, with certainty, what the results of my play are.

Im sorry Ted, but Im not that used to logic-challenged people. I estimated how many hours I have played, divided that into my being a little over $21,000 ahead in 2012, and came up with $900 per hour. Quad deuces did the same thing, only I expect he or she added in whatever slot club stuff he or she chose along with putting their own value on it.

I also use an estimate because it is not important to me to care about exact numbers about my play. Maybe if I had financial issues because of my play and maybe if I had a gambling problem, but that has nothing to do with me.

So I estimate.

  Backsider you specifically stated that you estimate that you ARE making $900.00 per hour at the machines so far this year. Because you have not played since your large hit you, logically, cannot be making anymore because it is no longer in the present. You HAVE made $900.00 per hour when you played this year. You make it sound as if you are still earning $900.00 per hour. I know logic is tough but so is living in both the present and the past such as you are.

Thats just silly Ted. Are vs. Have? It is what it is, and if it "is" then it is in the present.

Maybe Bob Dancer should invite me to be a guest on his radio show instead of a lineup of legendary has-beens. Think of the knowledge some of you would gain. Besides, hed have something unusual, an actual current winner in the house.
