A couple of good ones!

Nice catch olds. Glad you kept it on the hook.

He actually turned a profit on the marathon!

Very lucky so far with this Martingale Clone hit on a 97 percent DDS machine. Not even paid yet. 1200 on the nose so OTB called it right. Another W2G. Music still playing. Mrs is here, but in another part of the casino. I will wait and tell her if she loses her 200 bank then just hand her a few hundreds. Not even checked in yet. Now to be CAREFUL the rest of the night!

This will not work long term, but if anyone cares, on this game, pushes I don’t count. With 4 consecutive losses, up my bet by 1. If I hit anything more than a push before I have consecutive 4 losses, back it down 1. If I at anytime exceed my highest total, I either cash out start over at bet 1. Its just something fun for me to do and keep my mind sharp. It’s not a moneymaker long term. Nothing is. Especially giving up 3 percent.

If LL is out there listening, I had a premonition on the drive up, I would hit 5 Aces dealt so I picked the game that would pay the best if I hit it and budgeted 100 bucks to try for it.

Nice opening hit olds. With 4,800 birds in the hand were you even at all tempted to go for the 4th deuce?

[seemoreroyals]

Tedlark, it looks like he hit that on the redeal.?? I don't see any holds under the cards.

[Tedlark]

I didn't know if olds took the pick before holding the cards or if it came on a redeal.

Meanwhile, here comes the bombshell: the biggest Las Vegas convention, the Consumer Electronics Show, held in January of every year, is now cancelled for in person here in Vegas. It will be digital only.
That's 170,000 people NOT visiting Vegas in January.

Sorry, but not sorry, only because these casino managers are arrogant here in Vegas, they don't care about us, as I've said before. We all need to look out for ourselves, because they only want our wallets.

This is a very nice entertaining thread, with people showing some good wins and also some lively interesting discussion of reality and whats going on in terms of the virus, business and people trying to have fun in casinos. I like this forum precisely because of threads like this one, I wish they were all this.

Doug, I too noticed how many big destinations (Vegas, Reno, Los Angeles/ANaheim, San Francisco, Orlando, etc etc) have had conventions and major events completely cancelled, and how this literally spells doom for the local economies, not to mention the big macro economy. People of all types and levels just cannot handle reality. We are heading for a depression, that's that.....how big and how long it lasts in part is based on when (and if) a effective vaccine is made available to the entire population; but even if and when a vaccine comes to fruition, the damage will have been done and there have been some irreparable changes to peoples' spending habits, and attitude toward discretionary expenditures. There is no way casinos will see their market size and revenue return to where it was back in November of 2019, ever. The casino market was already saturated and bloated before the pandemic, and you will now see a major shrinkage starting this winter when the really weak financially casinos go under .


Your point above though, where you said casinos only want our wallets, is kinda moot....hasn't that always been the case? Any company in any business in a for-profit mode will seek to get as much cash from its customers as possible, and casinos have always been the most intense and extreme example of this,.

Incredible night on same machine. Since I posted, playing the exact same way, got these two more hits


The 5 4’s came in first abd as you can see I was in trouble as my bet was up to 20. The dealt quad deuces cane 20 minutes after the 5 fours so my bet was much lower.
