The Path

[FAA]

Sour Saturday. I won $18 on Caesars dollar JOB, gave it back. I got so hooked that I then lost $140 on three dead machines. But I won $25 on an eight craps point hit. Returned to VP and won about $55. I left with $88. I lost that at Harrah's. $180 ATM; lost almost half of that. Back at Caesars, I held my own. I went upstairs in desperation, as Doris did have luck there. Sure enough, within a dozen hands I hit a max quad for a $113 profit on the 9/5 machine I habitually shun. I should never have taken my ill fated Horrors side trip. Only my shuttles were promptly hit. 73 TC, respectable for me. Net Day: -$120. Dazed and fazed, but hardly amazed. Four quads, a potential $500. I got three $25 hits and the $125. Cheap strategy, cheap reap.

Sad Sunday at Caesars. Net Day: -$113. 101 TC. I got some decent mileage for the buck at $1.13 per TC. Zero quads in 600 or so hands were my downfall. Just one and it's a wash.

Fried Friday. I won $20 FP from $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP and $25 on table FP with a seven craps. Unfortunately, I couldn't quit. Net Day: -$140. One quad for $25 didn't help. No Presidential pardon for this turkey. 93 TC. $1.50 per TC. I saw two nice hand pays. $2,000 on 2,3,4 with 2,3,4 DDB. Then $2,089 on DJP, RF No Joker. My bank declined my ATM request. They both phoned and texted me a half hour later to verify the transaction attempt. By then I was no longer interested in obtaining more funds.

My bank used to phone me too. They haven't in years. Now I guess they are just used to seeing casino withdrawals from my account.

With the "bus bonus" and 9/6 JOB with progressive, I would think you could play breakeven at worst (over time).

Subprime Sunday. I only won $10 with $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. In that AM session, I hit a $75 quad. I lost $25 table FP, five to seven craps. So upset that I busted on VP. ATM run. No calls or texts. It was blocks away, but that never stopped them before. Pier lunch. PM session was +$22, due to $25 quad. I would have broken even if not for a huge loss on a prior machine. Quad and cash out is not always the best idea. Net Day: -$98. 134 TC at $.73 each. No observed jackpots. Quarter JOB Progressive at $1,175. I skipped it when it was empty, familiar with its money pit ways. My sanity is back with a mere two digit loss, a decent outcome when playing the dreaded dollar games.

New month, same results. I won $16 from quarter Caesars JOB. I gave it back on dollar JOB plus $120. Lost table FP, five to seven craps. $150 ATM run. I lost $50 more on dollar JOB, then $60 in an hour of quarter JOB. $1,120 Progressive made it 99.8%. But who cares if all the machines are cold? No time for lunch. Net Day: -$250. 97 TC. Over 5,000. I'll find something else to do on the weekend this month. I saw a couple hand pays. The masses need some crumbs to maintain interest. Humbly going quarters next year. This greed journey was a disaster. Numb and tortured. Struggling businesses cut costs, struggling gamblers must get on board! Quarters must be my primary New Year's resolution.

Satisfied Sunday. I won $34 from $25 Caesars buck JOB. I gave half back in the 15 TC session. I actually won at craps, $25 on a ten point hit. I walked 8,000 steps outside rather than lose $100 inside. An articulate well dressed young man asked me for thirty five cents for the bus. I was so embarrassed for him that I kept walking. Late pier lunch as the lazy manager couldn't be bothered to open promptly at noon. Net Day: +$23. Not exactly ecstatic. But I did shoot for RF enough and I am not taking yet another day in the red. All I want for Xmas is a RF.

SOL Saturday. It started the same as last week. I won $32 on $25 Caesars quarter FP. I won $25 table FP on eight point craps hit. I gave it all back on my way to bust. Net Day: -$135. Progressive $1,032. I stayed on the same machine throughout the dollar play. 157 TC. Decent amount of latitude. I thought I'd at worst break even on the day.!About 2.5 hours until the inevitable result. I saw a guy burn hundreds when I went upstairs to monitor other areas. But he was Seven Stars, so no sweat.

So is an SUV which may well steamroll me. Hopefully, the RF comes first. The guy went from $1 to $2 to $5 denominations. 9/5 JOB to begin with. Pleasant environment, but a cold machine with poor odds. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
