My new favorite song: “Stayin’ Alive.”
I’ve used up quite a few lives over the decades. Someone was looking out for me. Sounds like a -$800 for you. How is my educated guess?

Add 150 🙄. Forgot to mention. The Mrs playing 97 percent Double down stud bonus deuces wild got 4 deuces dealt for a $400 payout on a $.50 bet. Good for her and the best thing is she kept all but 20 bucks of it. The frequency of that hit is about the same in round numbers as hitting a Royal in draw poker or a bit worse. One in 54,145 to be exact. If she had hit an ace with the deuces, it would have paid double.

Heaven don't want you and Satan is afraid you'll take over.

But what a pay out on such a trifling bet. I needed 10X that for my BP $400! I kept all, as such a miracle is an unmistakable sign to stop gambling.

Another attempt at recoup on Thursday. One good hit, but not good enough to save from semi disaster. -600.

Sorry to hear. But at least we do now hear, as Quad Father grants full transparency. $600 is thirty sublime Gordon Ramsay lobster rolls. What a tragic waste!

Also 100 Johnny Rockets grilled cheese on sourdough with fresh tomato and sautéed onions. My favorite casino snack nowadays being that I won’t go near the lounge because they have gone back to backwards pre Covid protocols. It also would have bought 150 Peroni draughts in an ice cold Peroni glass at my favorite Italian restaurant and watering hole.

Six bucks sounds like a steal. Probably twice that at the AC outpost.

Stunningly, menu consultation also displays a $5.99 price down on 1900 Pacific Avenue. This is +EV value.
