Her win loss would not be accurate because sometimes she uses my card and sometimes I hers depending how close we are to earning a free play award.
That does complicate the situation.

It's hard to believe she's playing with an edge at that particular game. In this case I think I have to rely on the expert witness. If advantage player quits Pickem and becomes a UX 7/5 DDB specialist, I will accept that it's a >100% game. 8-)

I would not call it playing with an edge but rather standard deviation. Of course, luck is critical.

We have no data.

In my experience, it's actually not the norm for recreational players to keep rigorous records of their results. I'm flawed at that myself. I'll insert a hundred and then wait to log it until the next time I look at my phone.

Five minutes later: Did I already record that last hundred? :wacko:

I pretty much keep a running total in my head. That could end up being dangerous at my age. On the other hand…..VP and all the numbers crunching we do is supposed to ward off Dementia. I’m definitely good with that. The Mrs has her own little folder for her play. I just know for 2023 she is still playing with what was in there in January. Originally around 200 and it is a bit thicker now. Hee hee

I've documented all my trips here to save me the trouble of piecing the year together later. It's nice to revisit the wins and hopefully learn from the busts.

It has a return of 99.73%, which makes it a better game than what is available in a large number of casinos.
