...so far 2021 has worket out well. As I wrote back to Bob D, it is early in the year yet. We will see where I end up at year end. If I do end up on the plus side, it will be the first time in 25 years of playing vp.
From what I've read, you are well positioned to have a positive year. Only a lack of discipline can prevent it.

This was an epic session. Disaster usually appears one hour in. You somehow had the strength to endure eight hours and were paid $2,100 per hour for your labor.

Even 10/ hour would have been fine. Must remember that in the future. Casinos are experts at retribution. That’s why knowing otherwise, I wonder about the RNGs. Human nature.

Thanks. Maybe Foxwoods sometime when Covid gets better. Their protocols aren’t as good as Mohegan i haven’t played there since last winter. They have a new crew of head hanchos at Mohegan. I know the head player develment guy that upgraded me to Soar even though I was short on points last June. If you ever want me to speak to anyone there on reconsideration, just let me know. I can always get his phone number and email for you

This a riot. I just posted about casinos being an expert at retribution. It was sort of a tongue-in-cheek comment because it just seems like whenever we hit a jackpot the next couple of sessions are disasters. Anyway I just went into book a couple of rooms and I see that Mohegan has pulled all of my free room offers. They are probably not happy that I just took them for 15,000 bucks and 10,000 bucks a couple of weeks before that.

Here is a somewhat typical flow of events when playing 9/6 JOB with the Martingale Clone I use. Note all push hands are ignored and I use the rule of 4 meaning each betting amount is assigned 4 spaces. When these spaces are used up, I move up to the nect betting level. If a winning hand comes in, let’s say a full house, you have won 8 spaces. You then back down your bet by counting spaces until they are used up. A short sequence of a few hands is below.

I love the system. My favorite casinos and machines simply do not accommodate it! I’m stuck with quarter only progressive bank or $1/$2 machines. They’re not exactly user friendly. They lock players in on a narrow spectrum. I could do this at Bally’s, but just entering makes me depressed. Trips are supposed to be fun.
