free play numbers game?

Post by stevel96a1 »

i was wondering what if i took my 110$ free play and ran it through a deuces wild game 1.25 per turn
and ev game was 97.06 and i did this 10 trips which equals out to be 1110$ cash but spread out 10 times.
would it be best to go all in 1 siting with 1100 on me? i think so each time every time my 110$ has a life span of 20-30min and meets ruination.

maybe i will hit the royal or 4 ducks and be proven wrong until then.

Anytime I go to the casino with a short bankroll, I lose unless I play pennies or nickels. Even then if I get ahead a bit and try quarters, I lose. For the long quarter sessions I play of up to ten hours, I should have a bankroll of at least 2,000. I rarely do. If I were playing dollars, even 5,000 wouldn’t be enough. Short term results can sometimes eat at least 25 percent of coin in if a bad dud cycle won’t go away.

5th time on the free play, 2 were failures 110x2 gone devoured by the variance monster
the other 3 times were lousy cashouts 110 free play converted to 73$ cash in hand

video poker so brutal and the elusive 4 ducks/royal never at hand!

Never say never, but brutal yes. 73 percent is just about average on ice cold sessions. I remember Bob D writing about one on JOB some years ago. I don’t know the dollar amount, but they only left him with the mid 70s percentage wise in one of his sessions.

i may have had chance to cash out maybe 10% more? so 83%? but still us gamblers want the full blown 100% percentile or greater, i could have forego the free play double or nothing but as i said each and every time i try that i ended with a big fat 0% bad frequencies
