Video Poker Forum

I found BPDlx 18 months ago and have loved to play it ever since. I have been playing FloridaPhil's DW system for many months now. Have hit the 4 deuces 34 times this year with 6 on the max bet. Now the Four
Deuces hit  1 / 4,909 so I was thinking 2 times in 9400
hands is a long wait. Then only to get them on min. bet. So if a 4 of a
kind hits 1 in 423 DIV into 9400 you get 22 times for the 4 of a kind to
hit i the same amount of hands. Now I know Vman is the math wiz can
shed more light on this. Well am thinking if I can play short coin and
hit them 4ok at max just 2 or 3 times out of 22 would be a nice day.Well
I put a $400 bankroll together and hit the casino at 7am this morning.
Playing 2 quarter 10 quarter at the start. Max betting on a 3 of a kind
only keeping all other wins. Once a 4 of a kind hits I do not play that machine the rest of the day.Started out well having 4 hits out of the gate
and one on max bet.\\\\\\Then things go south as nothing would hit on the max bet. I then move to the $1 level playing 1 coin 3 coins after a 3 of a kind hoping the 240 coin win would hit.\\\\\\\\\\ No go only single coin hits as the max bets seen nothing but dead hands. Down $150 to $200 just hanging in there.Then a max bet hit!\\From here I drop to 1 coin 5 coin max since I was down less then $100 to stay tight on the bankroll.\\\\\\\\\The last hit puts me up $4.75 for the trip!After 7 hours 19 four of a kinds, two SF, $4500 coin in and about 5000 hands it was time to hit the road!Just another Wildman crazy VP trip!

and you managed to get maximum entertainment value from your bankroll. It worked well for you so congratulations Wildman and keep em coming!

  Just as Ed mentioned; you got maximum entertainment value. Nice collection of pics wildman.
Plus you kept the $400.00 bankroll intact,

what a great trip! seven hours of fun, lots of 4 of kind and keep all your money.

nice pics   what casino is this???     Quad 10s seemed to come up a lot, as it does sometimes with me.......that's actually my all time favorite hand, seeing four 10s sitting there......perfection.I cringed just a wee bit though when I saw the one with quad aces and the big fat 4 with em'......arrgh.

Once a 4 of a kind hits I do not play that machine the rest of the day.You're talking my language! The one time I violated that maxim was last week. Guy played a twenty and left after my quad while I used the restroom. I hit a quad first hand back. Go figure. Nice to rack up the points/credits and have a blast on their dime. Can't knock it.  Putting together bankroll is the key. With $400 and the Cheap System, you stayed all day even on a Bonus Poker Deluxe game with a scary 32 variance, and even emerged with a profit! Straight Flush bailout plan worked! Hearts look great too. Marvelous trip.

Quad 10s seemed to come up a lot, as it does sometimes with
me.......that's actually my all time favorite hand, seeing four 10s
sitting there......perfection.Cool especially when sequential. I like the four aces quad. Four kings look like a baseball stadium fan laundry. Four sevens have that slot machine winning spin feel. I love quads in general. Still a thrill to get.

Soaring Eagle, Mt. Pleasant MI.Not sure why but this game pops 4ok way more then the 1 in 423. But there seems to be a mountain of dead hands in the game also.I have played short sessions in the past on this game and hit max 4ok more then one time so was a little shocked to only see one out of 19 at max, might give it a try Friday. Problem with this game is its not played much so need some people to cycle it for me.

Not sure why but this game pops 4ok way more then the 1 in 423.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hell yeah! It would be like the best Christmas for me. 19 in seven hours is some kind of wonderful. Is there a difference between the cycle of a particular game and the overall cycle of the machine itself? I know a machine that seems to deliver quads w DDB play, which is the preferred game of players on the machine. When I sit down for JOB, ice machine. Some opinions would be appreciated.

[/QUOTE]I would be willing to give some credence to this observation being more fact than mere perception.......the machine may very well BE "set" to do exactly what you are stating.....hey, we all KNOW that such a thing is not "IMPOSSIBLE" like so many previous posters in past threads assert.......notice I am not saying it is a definite happening either, but I am seeing and perceiving more and more circumstantial evidence that suggests Video Poker machines in some casinos may indeed NOT be what we assume they are!
