Possibly one time where you'd dump a wild royal and hold the 4 to a royal?
I don't think so. Guaranteed 375 vs. EV around 154, according to my rough calculation.
Hopefully someone can answer more definitively?

I caught the same card (10 ♣️) 3 times in a row earlier while holding 2 pair.

Sometimes getting the same card is good. Playing triple play, holding an inside straight flush, I got the 8c on two of the three hands.

That's annoying in this case. You got two pairs and have invested $2.50, so you really want a FH to cover the bet.

Check your math FAA, I believe the return was $4.00 and last time I checked: $4.00 was more than $2.50.

You are basically the gamblers who want to win every single hand...Btw, holding 2 pairs returns 13 credits in 9/6 Job. You are more like focusing on a single hand rather than the long term return of a game.

Let me ask you this. You said the max bet you can make is $5 on a 99.54% game. Do you dare bet $50 on a hand that returns 135% like this? Of course you may not cover your bet if you lose, but you have 35% edge over the casino. (14X) / 10 * 96.79% (8/5 DDB) = 135.5%.

I could have said covered and then some to pacify you, but why?

Because you didn't think of it until I brought it up and now you are mad because I pointed out a mistake that you made.

I don't need to be pacified, burped, or powdered.
