A Trip to Bizarro World!

I ended up - 360 for the session, but Not due to clone failure. I was up 215 and as usual foolishly switched to flat betting 5 bucks a hand on dollars hoping for a huge hand pay. Didn’t happen. The most I was down on using the clone on quarters was -150. After about a dozen up trips before my failures, I may post a chart in the strategy section of how I manage the Clone bankroll with a 2,000 quarter loss limit

I ran out of time to edit my post so I took these screen shots so I wouldn’t have to type over. Will have to post them later or somewhere else. Problem doing it here

You should invite Bob as a guest on your podcast.

I also have dollar play affliction. I don't even flat bet, as I lose enough scaling back. One day, we connect and laugh it up with the attendant. It better be this year, and it's already half over. Quarter bank too boring, and only JOB. Progressive is usually chump change. I need return on time, even if it means abandoning 0.43% and quadrupling my bet. Halves isn't offered at full pay. Betting on a breakthrough.

I guess Bob would go if he was in the mood for Comedy Hour! Hitting quad Deuces anywhere in the progression will result in a profit for the session if you quit then and there. For instance, if you hit quad Deuces anywhere at bet 10 quarters you will get paid 2,000 quarters an at that point, the most you will be out is 1,125 quarters before getting paid 2,000.

I should also mention, if you have to or decide to quit playing before you hit Deuces or have lost 2,000 quarters, the next time you play, you should start where you left off to insure a profit if the quad deuces appear. The Royal of course is a huge bonus and will be pretty rare. I am lucky if I hit one every ten sessions or about 4,000-5,000 hands of play per session.

olds, you really should mention to the masses that your "system" only works when a player can wager more than 5 coins at a time.

You may have already done so and I overlooked it.

Good point. I thought in the write up above it would be obvious, but maybe not to some. I have tried to get Webman to also offer that option here as well, but I guess the programing changes needed would not be worth their time.

The Mrs and I are at Bizarro tonite for an overnight. Having dinner now, but will be playing shortly. I will force myself to stick to the above method and post what happens. 2,000 coin loss limit if things go badly. All I need is one quad deuce hit at any bet level and I will be ahead. Talk later. Fingers crossed. Of course a Royal would be awesome. I am going to start with betting just a quarter as I will start out on an 800 for bet one machine. If the bets get past bet 5, I will switch to a 15/9/4/4 machine for better odds than 12/10/4/4.
