Broke a personal record for winning sessions

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Broke a personal record for winning sessions

Post by olds442jetaway »

All of this since Mohegan Sun reopened and they are going beyond following all of the covid protocols. Maybe its the Karma. Maybe its the non loss of control in playing style not having to deal with and play next to chain smokers, the stale cigar guy, drunks, and the occasional BO special. Whatever it is, six straight winning sessions so far all mainly on Deuces Wild 15/9/4/4. I just hope it holds. Playing style is the usual Martingale Clone just slowed down a bit to hopefylly avoid busting bankroll. The other best part is no W-2 Gs so far, though most likely eventually, one will pop up. No Royals in any of the sessions. Nice hits when I needed them on quad deuces and Wild Royals. My budget initially was 300, now increased to 500 allowing me to play the same machine, but switch to a 50 cent game if the quarter bets get to bet 25.
If I can an bag an even dozen winning sessions, I will post the details. It is very easy to follow any you only have to know how to count to four. I know the chances are it will fail at some point, but when it does and I lose 500 bucks, but am still ahead since I started on May30, I will still call it a success. I meant to take a pic today of the hit that brought me way into the plus column. 4 deuces at bet 15 quarters. That was good for 750 bucks.

Does the wild royal pay 25 or 20?

25 or I wouldn’t touch it. They are getting harder and harder to find. If I remember, 98.91 return long term. Just to add, At Foxwoods, the other Ct casino, you have to play dollars to get it. At Mohegan, I have a choice of quarters, halves, or dollars all in the same machine and each allows bet 25 coins as the max bet. So on the machine I play, if I lose all the way up to bet 25, I can start at bet 13 on the fifty cent machine. If I had the bankroll, and lost on the halves all the way up to bet 25, I would start the game in dollars at bet 13. I will spare the detail for now, but this is easy on the brain. I don’t increase my bet until I have 4 straight losses without winning at least a straight ( 2 for 1 ). I count push hands as a non event. Bets get backed down accordingly. Will save those details till if I see if I can go 12 sessions without busting. Sessions run about 8 hours.

WTG Olds. Keep it up and hopefully Mohegan Sun will keep the no smoking policy.

Thanks OTB. You know, I never pray to win at gambling. I do say a prayer that the casinos stay smoke free. Maybe that will keep us going and relatively healthy a bit longer. Wish we lived closer so we could go together while the environment is so pleasant. Even the entire staff is so much happier without the smoke. You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voice. Also, I love the extra space in between machines. I don’t have to listen to others cell conversations, and various other distractions. For now it is a gift. The news on the virus front is not. Sounds like the second wave already, but it is the first wave not being finished with us yet. Stay safe. Stay well everyone. Finally, they even had my all time favorite meal today in the lounge. They serve you from covered stainless containers over heat, so hope it is relatively safe. Yankee Pot Roast with gravy, oven roasted potatoes and Asparagus tips also oven roasted. Had me father’s day treat a bit early. The Mrs was happy too. One of her favorite meals as well. Their even had her favorite dessert. Pecan pie. I tried to be good. A single cookie and coffee for dessert.
