JUST A CURIOUS THOUGHT, THAT I'M SURE WILL GET QUITE A VARIETY OF RESPONSES. I STARTED OFF THE YEAR RIGHT WITH TWO ROYALS AND MANY QUAD'S IN JANUARY "HOWEVER -- AND THERE IS ALWAYS IS AN HOWEVER" FEBRUARY WAS SO -- SO, BUT MARCH IS JUST SAY "OUCH"!WE ALL KNOW GAMBLING IS SHORT WINNING STREAKS FOLLOWED BY SOME TIMES L-O-N-G L-O-O-S-I-N-G STREAKS.
S0 JUST FOR CONVERSATION SAKES WHAT IS SOME OF THE LONGEST STREAK OF MISFORTUNE THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE HAD?

Texaco, if you scroll down to the"quick poll for everyone" post under this category, you'll find quite a few responses to that very question. You might even enter your own answers.

Only a few hours.
But I'm still waiting for my first royal.

I had a royal followed in less than 15 minutes with Quad Aces with a kicker in DDB back in either January or February of this year. Prior to that, it was on September 23, 2006. I wish that I could state the number of hands in between those RFs, but I do not keep track. I don't log as many hands as most of the players here on the forum so it probably wasn't as bad as it sounded.

Try 5 years since the last Royal, other than on AC joker and that really doesn't count as it only pays 500.

I was down badly at one particular racino then made a bit of a comeback and was actually ahead until I went into a tailspin of 13 losing trips in a row. I only play at two casinos and at one I'm a little ahead over 10 years of play but the other is a different story. I keep going to my losing racino because they are supposed to have the highest payback percentage and I'm expecting a huge comeback any day now.

I've been very fortunate this year....I just picked up my 6th royal in '08 (3 at a quarter and 3 at fifty cents) this past weekend playing a single 50 cent line STP DDB...dealt four and the fifth kicked in. This was one hand after hitting qauds with a 4 multiplier on the same single line for 1000 credits.
So far a very good year on STP - three hands. Not only the six royals but also twice getting dealt for deuces on NSUD. As bad as losing streaks can go, I always figure it could be my last big payout of the year and try to play accordingly (as evidenced by the sindle line play described above).
I believe I only had two royals last year so it was many months between and I play once a week on average.
