Stable Saturday. I won $15 on $25 Bally’s JOB FP and gave it back. I played a good 75 minutes before being blessed. I ditched JOB and hit a BP quad deuces for $100! I lost my $25 table FP on my own five to craps. So, I left for the marina -$30 on the day on $900 coin in. I was only passing through Harrah’s. But they had a 2X-5X promo and I got 5X. So I did 41 TC or $820 coin in. Their dollar machines do $20/1 TC, a big upgrade from Bally’s. I made $70, then stayed for the roller coaster. I hit a $125 JOB, catching a second pair of Queens. Double disasters dodged. I was offered half a meat lovers pizza, then went on my restaurant tour proper. Food coma, but wallet is also full. Net Day: +$32. 59 TCs. CET seems fair this Saturday.

Sad Sunday. I won $20 on Bally’s BP FP. I lost it and $20 more. I won $25 table FP on an eleven craps. At NFL halftime, I returned to seek a quad. Well, I got three quads totaling $125 ($25, $62.50, $37.50) in 55 minutes! Unfortunately, I lost a ton prior hour. Net Day: -$144. 59 TCs. $2,950 coin in. I think Sunday will just be a simple sports book day with $100 budget.

My Sunday evening play was negative 800. That’s 4 consecutive loser trips now. The bad thing is I was ahead anywhere from 100 to 400 in each trip at some point. Just don’t know when to quit. Chasing a pot of gold in a fading rainbow.

Sad Saturday. I won $51 on Bally’s BP FP. That became $105 after a $62.50 quad. My next quad was twenty minutes later, but only $12.50. I won my $25 table FP on an eight point hit. I went to Tropicana and lost $220 on 9/5 dollar JOB. Back at Bally’s, a $62.50 JOB quad. But dollar play and busted. Net Day: -$315. 48 TCs. $2,400 coin in. About $1,500 coin in at Tropicana. Quads came, but I escalated denomination.

Wow! That is an 8 hit percent on coin in. That’s a bummer. Maybe go from quarters to halves instead of dollars.

Olds wouldn't it be closer to 15% at Trop? I won't tally the number of times that FAA has sworn off dollar play.

Yes, I just added the 2 together for the day. 3900 divided into his negative 315. Dollars have rewarded me this year and also busted me many times. The State tax implications in Ct too for those w2gs are horrific. Even for the Federal it is a Royal pain in the ass no pun intended as one is forced to itemize to offset them thus losing the advantage of the double standard deduction and personal exemptions have been eliminated as well. And since the cap of 10k on state and local tax deductions arrived in 2018, of thise stolen State taxes they withheld or you paid in as well as your property taxes arent even deductible once you exceed 10,000. Ler’s say without that rule you would have been able to deduct another 5,000 for state income and property taxes....if one is in the 22 percent bracket, kiss another 1,000 in reduced Federal taxes goodbye.

Stable Sat-Mon. I won my $25 table FP on a five point hit on Saturday, enabling me to leave Bally’s up a bit after rocky $25 VP FP. I won $12 on $20 Tropicana FP. Sunday I lost $80 on dollar Trop FP. $200 ATM yielded -$2 Bally’s session after on schedule quad. I returned before leaving town. On third machine, BP finally rewarded me. I was dealt two deuces; drew two more for $50. Net Trip: -$40; -$89 factoring in room fees.

Satisfactory Sunday. I won $40 on Harrah’s dollar BP FP. I won $25 table FP on a six point hit. MS lunch. At Bally’s, the avalanche was on. I lost $100 in about an hour. Then I was dealt a pair of Aces and drew another for $100! Premium quad salvation. I insisted on that machine jam fix, and it fixed me! Sports book and parking lot strategy implementation. Net Day: +$53.
