Just responding to some of the back-and-forth mob and crime family text with FAA and myself. By my pocket I meant lost 1200 bucks playing at the casino. Thanks for the concern though I appreciate it. FAA has nicknamed me quad father I have just been playing around with it and playing the part

I have just gone negative for the year again based on last nights trip with the Mrs. and that is not counting her losses the last several trips as well. I stopped at my local McDonald’s because it’s about 95° here and it’s nice and cool inside and got a large drink in the midst of a bunch of errands that I am catching up on. I noticed they are having a job fair another trip or two like the last few and I may actually be applying I worked for them from 1964 to 1969 during summers holidays and weekends home from school. I actually really enjoyed it the pay back then was $1.25 an hour that was what minimum wage was. However it was all you could eat on your break time. I’m sure that didn’t do my weight or my heart and a good by the way they are regular size small hamburgers taste exactly like they did in 1964 if I remember they are 1.6 ounces and I know for a fact they were $.15 back then. When you’re in a hurry in a pinch they are still the best deal in town if you don’t go there every day and destroy yourself. A gigantic size drink and a regular burger It’s only a buck each still

Sorry about the horrible sentence structure, capitalization, punctuation, etc. I am in a hurry and used Siri. She never learns

FAA. I am trying out a new Martingale clone version to be used with 96 jacks or better only. It worked well without any quads toward the end of my last trip. I only recovered a pittance of my loss but I could tell it has potential and only tried it for an hour or so because it was like 4 AM. I will let you know how it works next session which should be Thursday evening. Basically I will be betting 5 quarters until I have lost what a full house pays. At that point I go to 6 quarters. At any point at 6 quarter levelmy credits are above my loss at 5 quarters I go back down to betting 5 and so the pattern up and down will continue as long as the four houses come in as they should it should work pretty well. Basically whatever belt level I am at for arguments sake let’s say I am a bet 8, I would not go to bed nine until I have a net loss at this level of 72 quarters. Or 9x8. It’s very easy to make a chart up so I will always know what that level I will be at I’ll make up the chart before I go back up there tomorrow night. Nothing anybody is interested I am just finishing up my drink at McDonald’s but I will sketch it out on a napkin kind of what it would look like.

Of course the goal is to hit your quads and hopefully sometime a royal at the higher bet levels. Guess we will see what happens. I am pretty sure I will need a full house coming in regularly to stay in the game. Especially, if I don’t get any quads or Royals

Lincoln jotting down the Emancipation Proclamation on the back of an envelope was impressive for its day. He'd be scribbling this nowadays. This does seem like a workable system. I prefer $50 in a machine, so I'd just divide everything by five and give it a whirl. Borgata only does the 1-5 coin set up on my machines of choice. But just switch to fifty cent, keep it on three coin to work around it.

That would be doable the unfortunate downside is short coining. Isn’t it crazy that I am happy about getting a gigantic McDonald’s drink with a free refill and a little hamburger just like the ones I used to make in 1964 For two bucks. Of course I always ask for extra Dehydrated onions. They are the best and are also the same since 1964. I have already in my head done the oh well, About losing $1200 again last night. There is pure insanity to be less upset over that and happier about my little McDonald’s snack.
Speaking of scribbling on napkins, my brother-in-law is a famous and brilliant retired orthopedic surgeon. Many years ago if we happened to be at dinner with them, out of the blue he would flag the waitress down for a couple of extra napkins he would stop eating and scribble out the details of an elaborate operation procedure that he would probably have to do early the next morning. Then he would stuff the napkin in his pocket. I guess sometimes things just came to him that way but he Is brilliant and one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met.

Alas, zero method to the madness. Gamblers will rationalize their way into anything. I like their dehydrated, but prefer Burger King fresh onions. McDonald’s does have the best Coke and its progeny. I read an article about the superior pressure from the distributor. Everyone else’s is flat by comparison.

Off subject a bit but still casino related. If I happen to be up against a vp marathon which is more often than not and coupled with that had a light dinner, my favorite 3 AM snack is a Johnny Rockets ( open 24/7 ) grilled cheese on sourdough With fresh tomato and sautéed onions. Other than coffee and maybe a little fruit, I am usually good till early afternoon after that.

The Bally's JR is only open nineteen hours, twenty on weekend. I've enjoyed their malts. That's a rare treat that I don't mind splurging for in the summer. I wish that I had ventured a third hour at Borgata. Bankroll was never in danger on a generous machine. But I'd also endured a trivial Caesars hour. Bar got crowded and noisy, poor VP conditions. I just grew tired of the withheld quad; left town altogether.
