Back to losing

Post by stevel96a1 »

Losing is big part of video poker sucks its not posted all that much on this forum.
Henry Tamburin says any bet below 98% is a suckers bet well best they have at my casino is 97.07 and 97.87 quarters so close to 98% anyway Dw lower variance so i stuck w/ that game and i still managed to blow through 2000 credits in 3 hours of play not once but twice! i think the 2nd 2k roll lasted 4hours.
so 7 hours of entertainment yielded a little over 100$ an hour on quarter machine. my casino isn't rewarding me as they did last year, i plan on going 1 more time and see what happens. if i win on gambling or if the casino credits me something but this last trip is going to make my decision to take a long break or keep going.

now to the losing. how is it possible to blow through 2,000 credits on a dW game in a matter of a few hours? i did not get my 4 ducks on either of the trips and im left wondering i should have played ddb at 97.87 it would have given me same time on device.

Dw has let me down, ive lost 1700$ before and recovered it feels like i went from digging a hole to a ditch and now im working on my grave, has anyone ever lost 3-4 thousand dollars playing 97+ while using there players card on here before (assuming they stuck w/ quarters) i had a belief with a players card playing perfectly with a decent size roll nor the casino or the game would put you in the grave but now im seeing the truth.

on the plus side live casino in philadelphia has 15$min BJ tables thinking about trying my hand there

You played a game that you knew was terrible, and you got terrible results. I'm not sure what you thought would happen. You took the time to determine the games you played were , in your experts words, sucker bets but you dove in anyway and lost a $1,000.
It appears that the casino owes you a royal. Perhaps it is not the best time to quit.

no im still wondering if its possible will IGT video poker + reward system can fail a perfect play in 3-6 bankrolls of 4,000?

you see Bob Dancer and Henry didn't have the wstore https://imgur.com/a/VhOtn5H
they were ^%^&%$ giving away the house last year (late2019/early 2020) reflecting my gambling log this year its stingy, i see the same people on the bus like clockwork they must be giving them the red carpet or they are on a hot streak. i also note i peeked at one players fp he had 1250$ and he stuck with the BJ machine i think its 97% return same as mine he sat down and clocked in his hours and im thinkin how much can he really win on a 1:1 game? but he maybe doing better than my 97% game losing less!

my question still stands bethlehem has hi min bets of 25$ Bj 8 decker good rules tho but live in phila starts out as 15$ but will a red chipper get backed off there Bill??

also note my wife played hard at resorts ac 40$ i think that was highest each day free play, 40 isn't that horrid compared to 10$ a day but if one can reach 100$ each day is that possible? is there a cap on daily/day to day free play a casino gives out?

This thread is nuttier than squirrel turd. I rarely agree with TT, but this is just asked and answered. No quad ducks, crap out of luck. Variance has caught up with you with a vengeance from the earlier good times timeline. We've all lost at a $140 hourly rate, just not for seven hours. I thought that my last ditch 98.49% BPD forays were a sucker's bet. And I often short coin that, further suckering myself. I have been doing well. But we must clean up the bad decisions. You know where the good gambling is. I recommend the "Return to Borgata" thread. Return to your senses.

Steve what you are seeing is normal play, has nothing to do with pay table. Pay table is only long term looking, your talking short term play. Case and point I played NSUD 99.73% early this month. Five bucks a hand for 8 hours, more then 8000 hands never saw the 4 ducks and lost $1800.00

Click this link and see the other side of the same game same machine. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12589

The game deuces is much more volatile then you think. This passed Feb. I played over 12,000 hands and never saw 4 deuces, it's just the way the game runs, no IGT trickery no players card casino trickery, it's all normal and over years of play it will average out to a loss since all of the pay tables are not 100% pay back. If your not getting a good amount of free play you might want to think about playing smaller or less to keep your money.

70 percent of my play is on Deuces. 98.91. If the deuces are off sequence, you are going to lose big no matter what unless you catch a Royal. That’s just the way it is. I am on a huge overall losing streak myself, even though I have posted some nice hands. Its no fun playing for 8 hours at 700 hands per hour and not get dealt 3 deuces once. Getting dealt 2 deuces on schedule too is a must

Misery loves company, and he sure found it. It’s the Death by Deuces thread. I need at least a quad an hour or I’m a loser. It’s all a House Always Wins paradigm. I just wouldn’t continue the low pay tables, as they short change on the lesser wins.
