Havent kept records on the dealt ones i very rarely play DDB, so it doesn’t matter, but also way more quad Aces percentage wise on JOB than the norm. Under once every 5,000 hands a bit. One other odd thing. Quads on Joker Kings seem to come in flurries very close together than hours before another one. No records on those. They just seem to. Guess it is the nature of randomness.

By the way Tech, over a lifetime of play I have had quad deuces on jacks or better Way more than Deuces wild. Go figure
My experience is so limited on DW (maybe 5% of my play at most). But to only find them once is
very short indeed. I usually have one or two per two day trip on JOB.
Probably some memory bias, that HH alluded too, mixed in there but i also get 4AWAK quite regularly.
This quirky,streaky,crazy,game will drive you nuts sometimes.

A couple of years ago, I was playing 10 line 25c VP at Harrahs Lake Tahoe, and was dealt 4AWAK. Of course, I was playing JOB!

It still must be nice seeing a premium hand ten times on your screen without any effort.

Looks like the good luck wishes worked. Thanks gang. DDS Bonus Deuces Wild. Dealt quad deuces using the usual Martingale Clone. 1C3C5E28-CC2E-462B-B73B-B45EAFA780FB.jpeg
how does the martingale clone hold up against regular flat betting?
do you have more positive days?
obviously no sucker bet or trying to recoup 1 unit on top of 100 unit-loss
i kinda like the idea martingale in uneven payout vs 1:1

I haven’t really compared the two, but I am still negative every year mostly due to discipline issues. On ice cold days, I bust bankroll faster than flat betting. I believe most times i increase my bets too fast instead of waiting until say increasing it to be even or better if say quad deuces hits. On quadless job days especially if full houses are scarce, I lose faster even than playing Dueces Wild.

Yes, that is very true, and it was very much welcomed. We need to be glad for what we get, and forgo the "I wish I was playing a different game thoughts".

To your point: I hit a max coin four Aces deuce kicker almost upon arrival today. Of course, I was playing my trusty JOB!

Still nice, but this stuff seems to happen so often when it is the least valuable

More forsaken profit for me on Saturday. Two potential big money hands while playing JOB, as members mused. Time to do a third of my play as BP.
