Re: The Path
Hi. I can't play the FP at Harrah's. I am determined to flee after FP from now on, though. I even drew a forbidden zone reminder diagram on my phone. I don't know DDB and variance scares me too much to even be interested. It must be fun to learn with the software. But what happens when you invariably get addicted? Hand over fist casino losses. No thanks.

Acceptable Saturday. I won $32 from $25 Bally's FP. I lost the $25 table FP, six to seven craps. $120 ATM and Resorts, where I lost two promo games. At Harrah's, I hit a $50 JOB quad. But I lost $150 in 1.5 hours. $140 ATM. At Caesars, I hit a $31 quad after 350 hands to break even there before giving back $20 on the adjacent machine. Progressive $1,019. But I won $65 on dollar JOB. Then I found a $20 on the floor. No time for lunch. Net Day: -$75. I quickly broke my Bally's and Caesars boycott plan in a desperate bid to recoup, which partially worked. I finally bolted when my $20 hit $85 at Caesars. FP was Bally's and Caesars to bail out. A double digit loss day is somewhat palatable. Forget about it and move the hell on.

Who's picture is on the front of that $20?

I'm just happy you found a 20 dollar bill on the floor instead of a half eaten sandwich.....

I should have left Harrah's after my quad and a -$20 day. Instead I stayed 2.5 hours longer than planned. Fortunately I only incurred another-$55.

Lazy Sunday. I won $25 from $25 Bally's FP, gave it all back and hit a $25 quad (dealt quad deuces) to net $12.50. I won $25 table FP on a seven craps. Lunch at GF. I bought seven pairs of light running socks, 78% off. Huge discount and hastens my casino escapes. I blew off the Resorts promo game; shooting too many blanks and too hot to hike. Back to Bally's. I won $11 on another quad at same machine. It came before I could assess its heat and vary my wagers. Net Day: +$29. Minimal gambling volume. Thanks, craps shooter. Powerball $650M. Carpe diem!

Fat Sat. I won $20 from $25 Bally's FP and gave $19 back. I lost my $25 table FP, four to seven craps. Pier lunch. ATM for $180. On the way I won a nifty pair of sunscreen tubes with backpack fob. Thanks Resorts! At Harrah's I finally hit my max quad, dealt three sevens and drawing the fourth. $125 Seventh Heaven. Thirteen TCs, so about 130 hands. Smooth sailing. Worth the $2 jitney ride. Net Day +$50. Eat my dust, AC. I'm gone like Hurricane Harvey! Hope to catch a swim and rays tomorrow. FAA says the coast is clear in these parts.

Sorry Sun. I won $50 from $25 Caesars FP. I lost $25 table FP again, ten to seven craps. I was determined to get the $25 anyway, so I tried dollar JOB. I was soon dealt quad deuces. $120 ATM trip. I lost two promo Resorts games along the way. At Harrah's, I lost $158 at the usual -$100 hourly clip. No lunch. Net Day -$128. 90 TC. Obviously, $2 per TC is no bargain. Well over 600 quad free hands, with expected results.

Super Sunday. I started off with the usual win/lose cycle. I won $30 with $25 Caesars JOB FP, but gave it back. On table FP, I won $25 on a five point craps hit. Gave it back via VP. Pier lunch. ATM. Lost my last two promo tries at Resorts. Off to Harrah's. No Horrors today. I lost, then broke even and couldn't lose if my life depended on it. I dumped my conservative strategy and max bet. Three threes. The fourth came for $125. Cash Out Dash Out. Net Day: +$115. This almost avenges last wek's fiasco. Reporting from an overcast AC, this is sunny disposition FAA.

Solid Sunday. I won $26 from $25 Caesars FP. Then I won $25 table FP on a craps seven. I bumped into Miss Alabama on the boardwalk and had her mom take our picture. I chatted with Miss New Mexico mom. She crafted fifty fans from her daughter's headshot. At Harrah's, I won $43 quickly and stopped. Just win the day. Lunch at MS; improbable Coors Light buzz. Back at Caesars I lost $31 on quarter JOB. I split for dollar JOB and recouped plus $7. Net Day +$81. No quads, no sweat. Roll Tide! Reporting from Beautyville, this is FAA.I ignored my own three week plan: "flee after FP. I even drew a forbidden zone reminder diagram on my phone." My return to Caesars only yielded an additional $7; -$37 before my max full house. I was playing with fire and managed to escape. I should have kept playing at Harrah's. Machine was going well. I feared the ride down. 14 TC day. But damned if I pay $2 per and "earn" 90. Awesome value, CET!
