Long Dry Spell

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

My death wish is hitting at quarters and switching to dollars for the remainder of the session. Piling up losses at four times the rate of quarters is suicide unless one is extremely lucky in a very short time frame. For instance, if there was a cold spell for four hours, a Royal hits for a thousand leaving you 400 bucks ahead, you switch to dollars and enter the same downturn as your first four hours of play, in one hour of play at the dollar level assuming the same 5 coins bet, you will be at minus 200 bucks for the day after just that one hour of dollar play.

There are worse death wish scenarios. Like entering guns blazing and busting on dollar. I am devastated after losing $100 on quarter JOB. It’s simply against basic probability and unacceptable. I cannot even imagine a $150 hourly loss persisting for four hours. Don’t be the sucker who switches to dollar after a quarter RF, even on a good promotion. Just leave. Bank the money in the brick and mortar bank and the memory in the memory bank.

Heee heee Good advice. I rest my case on another post nearly a tear ago when I said I should quit for the year.

Yes, that was some howl. I wish that I had been playing this weekend. It seems that casinos were trying to meet their quotas by giving away money.

It would seem that way to some.

It's just my imagination. I'll be back to the scene of the jive to claim any significant win. There shall be no give back. Definition of insanity.

All I want for Xmas is that mythical hand pay. I feel like Ahab chasing the whale. His leg was chomped off, as were multiple FAAhab bankrolls. Next cruising for a bruising imminent. 🎄
