How is someone going to get them 4ok's back??? that's 10 you are behind that day what about other trips? I don't buy this long term BS, once you get behind like behind say 5 royals, it's not like they come in so easy not! One can not make them up over years, will some a few. But most will never recover.

I agree. I was not invested, but consider how long it took for portfolios to recover after 2008. With the U.S. economy on your side, not negative expectation casino games. $312 in JOB lost quads is a goner. There are people who have won the lottery multiple times. Some people are just born lucky.

Don’t be surprised if 401ks become 201ks this time around. There is just too much negative news between inflation, interest rates that have a long way to go up yet, never mind war and unending supply chain issues. Having over half the country that will be on the Dole for life certainly doesn’t help either.
In spite of that, the Mrs and I are in line for dinner at Bizarro. Very crowded for a Tuesday. Haven’t checked in yet. I have less than 20 percent exposure to the market. Still painful in light of one year Cds still under one percent.

It's a harsh collapse to ride out. 57% market exposure, so 2 or 3 years before my ill fated two month investment return will break even. U shape recovery expected. We shall be sitting in our feces for quite a while. Disney at $115. Following the news like my life depends on it. I just happened to watch a February 28 Jim Lebenthal CNBC clip. This brilliant man called a bottom and urged viewers to invest!

His clients in particular must be apoplectic by now. As you can see, he is long on Disney. You are in very good company!

3 hours of quadless JOB tonite is enough. Down 150. Headed over to play a bonus deuces wild machine. At least it is 800 for bet one. Lost of flexibility. Allows bets up to 15 per line quarters. Martingale Clone should be able to handle this one unless the JOB jinx is trailing me. Only a 97 percent machine though. I save it for nights like this one.

Still in a slump. Bonus Deuces nothing. Partial bailout with the clone on single line regular deuces near the end of the session. Ran out of time. Needed sleep. The Mrs had a great bailout hand. Photo attached. 93 percent DDB. Yikes!! I had just handed her a hundred for bailout attempt and she hit almost immediately. One minute before she hit a 10x quad. No pic on that. She forgot to take. Overall good for her + 200. Bad for me - 800.

Ah, yes. The old "ran out of time" rationalization. I know it well. It may be time to cut the overall time. If -$800 is a partial bailout, bust is -$1,000. Expensive entertainment. I know that I must keep my coin in low with the crappy 7/5 dollar BP currently on offer at Caesars. This renovation is trying my patience. I should wade through the fountain and topple or at least deface statue. But it's been working out okay anyway.

You have choices. Why don't you just go back to the Borgata? Plenty of good games. Or go to Harrah's. Plenty of good games. What is your fascination with Caesars?

I'd dispute "plenty". Borgata B Bar was my spot. But per reports, pay tables now downgraded. Their new VP section is actually quite uninviting and those old clunky machines play too fast with no way to slow them down. Harrah's carousels are gone with the wind. Hot as hell Cove a bust on each and every trip. Off my list. Hey, only a few more weeks until normalcy returns, unless emperor guts pay tables.
