Well, that was a nice $700 hit while it lasted. It did prevent a full bankroll bust!
I was notified that I have used 49.5 of my free 50 GB. They included a helpful link: “Upgrade to iCloud+ with 200 GB for $2.99 per month.” I am simply a photo addict. Much cheaper than the VP addiction.
A Trip to Bizarro World!

I have only used 4 of my 50, cloud, but my phone itself is full. 31.9 of 32. Doesn’t add up though. The individual items only add up to 8 not the 31.9 they say the phone used up. I have already tried the usual things like deleting photos, off loading apps, clearing website data etc. no help. Looks like no way around going to the Apple store.

Bummer AP, but next time might be like my Bizarro world trip last night or even better for you. Hard to believe, but in an 8 hour session and about 700 hands per hour, I hit quad Deuces five times on a single line game and one was dealt. Stupid phone still won’t allow pictures. Have to get to Apple. Anyway, one was dealt, 2 hit with 24 quarters in playing the clone, one hit with 5 quarters in, one with 12 in and one with 9 in. Up over 2k, 4 different machines. All on Airport Deuces. Long way to go to be even for 2022, but for now, progress is being made. One other odd thing….not one hand dealt with 4 to the Royal. 3 of the 5 times I had 3 Deuces dealt, they connected. No complaints. Sorry, so boring without pictures. UGH!

You have plenty left in the Cloud. In your case, you should hash it out in person. I exhausted the Cloud. They were very specific with instructions on how to further enrich them. My phone became an expensive paperweight yesterday. I was deleting photos and trimming email and texts. Stumbled into cafe distraught. Luckily, they happened to have WiFi. I finally took Apple up on the offer I could not refuse. Suddenly my phone was resurrected.

Thanks. I have 50 gigs in the cloud and have only used 5. The problem is the phone itself. 32 gigs, says 8 are used, yet says memory is full. I have heard that it gets full from system function stuff where they don’t tell you how much is used. Guess I won’t know till I go to Apple.
As to the 1200 jackpots…. I just follow my clone rules. Over the years, I have many more jackpots at bet 6 than bet 5 so I just eat the 7 percent the State steals. The Fed I am able to write off. What kills me tax wise is the 2018 cap of 10,000 that got placed on State and local tax deductions. I am forced to itemize too to offset the taxes on the Fed size. That cap is a huge hit for me. I have previously posted about it.

A solo trip is planned for tonite. I coaxed my phone into maybe letting me take one pic. Now let’s hope I even get a chance to have occasion to use it.
