I have found out one thing on multi line play. If you do not land a Royal, and only hit a decent hand say a quad on one line, your hit is diluted by the number of lines played. That in itself could keep you slowly sinking as the session goes on.
Multi line play is less volatile. Remarkable discovery.

Maybe less volatile, but with the Clone, it eats my bankroll faster, since if I am playing say 5 lines, I have to increase my bets by 1.25 instead of a quarter. If I go up on the lines only, and I hit something on one line, the dilution effect slows down my comeback. Kind of hard to explain. Speaking of which, in one of your posts didn’t you say just ignore me.

Yes, I said ignore me if I'm being annoying.

And if you short page it, then it's only 6 pages ago.

I think you have to be Gold to do that. I'm still at lapis lazuli.

Just a few quick notes from the Sunday nite trip. We dodged a good part of the rain ( still got 3.6 inches ), but parts of Ct were flooded and had over 10 inches. The trip was ok, but I lost overall. One nice hand. Pic attached.
The Mrs pocketed the 2 four leaf clovers that the Come Back Kid had sent her and proceeded in short order to be Dealt 4 Deuces on a 50 cent DDS game. That was good for 400 bucks. Pic I will post when she sends it over to my phone.

Sounds like, all things considered, it was a good trip. Hopefully, the Mrs winnings balanced out your losses. Next trip its your turn to pocket the four-leaf clovers.

Another Bizarro story. We rarely but powerball tickets, but did buy my one yesterday. On the quick pic, the first 3 numbers were my wife’s birthday, her mother’s birthday, and her father’s birthday year. There are numbers from 1-69 that you can choose. If I did the math right the odds or probability of those numbers coming out on the ticket in a sequence like that are more than 314,000 to 1.
