Good day. I won $51 with $25 FP for the second straight day. Max quad at FP tail end. I also won craps FP on a six point. Hit Caesars.to see Progressive total, $1,005. Casino has been generous; hits the last two mornings. I played a hand of DJOB and won $2. I stashed $80 in my Lock Box. Lunch at Resorts. Food tastes more amazing after a win. I used a Diamond card for a premium drink back at Caesars to cap the trip. Net win $58. It stinks to iron out currency upon opening the box. But it's worth the trouble for a zero discipline gambler. Reporting from a chilly AC, this is FAA.

Mild loss day. I won $20 with $25 FP, and only got it to $25 after a two coin quad. I won $25 table FP with an eight point craps hit. But, I left my lock box home! Instead of saving the $50, I lost it and $10 more in a half hour of horrific JOB play. Lunch at Resorts. I managed to win $4 at Caesars. Progressive at $1,025. -$27 net of trip. Small price to pay to chase the almighty RF. But winning that craps point made a world of difference between being mildly annoyed to distraught and anguished. Reporting from a mild shore, this is FAA.

Even Steven NYD. I won $28 JOB on $25 Bally's FP and $25 as I rolled myself a seven on craps. But, I lost it all plus $10. No time for lunch. I was determined to avenge the loss. I walked to a free ATM and back to Caesars. $100 on dollar JOB became $126, then $83 with $250 coin in over the hour. Then I was dealt four Aces on the redraw for a $75 quad! My ticket redemption machine leap for joy had my heels hit my butt. I ordered a premium shot, free with premium card, and left town. Quite a thrill for a low roller. I never exceed three bucks a spin, so best case scenario. A woman behind me while I was on quarter JOB won $2,445 on Ultimate X. Whatever that is, it sure pays.

Mild win day. I hit two quads at Bally's, but they were two coin hits at $12.50 each, so I was left more deflated than elated. Max bet quarters is the only way! I won $25 on the $25 FP. After staring at a guy hitting point after point on craps, I finally bet on the next shooter. She immediately rolled snake eyes! I won $3 at Bally's. The elderly woman who took over for me with her husband won $100 on the machine, last I checked. She was never in any danger of a bust. I will play the machine heavily next time. Depressing day, too rainy to stroll. To close out the dismal day, I was dismayed to discover that they closed a favorite hangout on NYE, the Starbucks on the ocean. I won $9 net of trip. I suppose gloom beats gloom and doom. Reporting from a gloomy shore, this is FAA.

Mild win day. I won $15 on $25 Caesars FP, 60% of which was played on dollar JOB. I did hit a two quarter quad for chump change. The buck machine got cold and I lost that plus $40. Meanwhile, a guy sits down at the machine next to me and hits premium hands every ten seconds. Pure agony! I won $25 craps FP; man hit his five point. Nice being at a $25 table; no riff raff. Shuttle to Harrah's for MS HH lunch. Back at Caesars for more dollar VP. I hit a $50 quad and $27 full house. This calls for a celebration. Premium Shot. Patron was my poison.  Lime stuck in my teeth for three hours until I got home and flossed. More pure agony. I won $8 net of trip. This is ridiculous. Another squandered day of missed opportunity. I missed $112 of premium cash. $75 with my two buck quad, $18 with my three buck full house and $19 with my fifty cent quad. $8 is clearly not worth the time and effort of my RT. But it beats a net loss. I also racked up 28 TC. I figured they cost a buck a piece. PS- $57,600 jackpot was won on Ultimate X. Ultimate high!

Mild loss holiday session. No time for lunch; too busy trying to break even. I won $37 on dollar JOB Caesars FP. I won my $25 craps FP; man hit his eight point. Financially, this +$62 and +$42 net trip was my apex. I lost the $62 and $50 of my bankroll. Absolute depression. Bally's attempt to double $40 was futile. Peaked at $42 and left with $31 after three coin quad and 8 TC. I reentered Caesars for more dollar JOB. I won $45 after a two dollar quad came. 24 TC total there. Three quad day: $50, $25, $12. $25 craps win. Bottom Line: a $23 loss. 
This entire thread is a vast echo chamber.

Big loss day. I won $20 on $25 FP on Caesars JOB quarters. Then $25 on a quick craps eleven hit with the $25 table FP, which I always do after VP exhaustion. In between I walked over to dollar JOB. It was like going to my own funeral. Before I knew it, I lost my $140 bankroll and the $20. I would later lose $20 of the $25 craps on an hour of futile quarter JOB. Quick run to ATM for $100. I won $38 with a $45 full house. My last hand and biggest hit of the day. Without a dollar quad, losing day guaranteed. It was fun to chase that $4,000 RF. I just replaced the morning $140 withdrawal. But the afternoon's $100 withdrawal is gone, plus $20 trip and $4 ATM. Bottom Line: a $124 loss. I believe 88 TC. Pretty expensive TCs. I can see that Harrah's FP email now.

Solid win day. I hope both of my followers are sitting down with coffee.I bypassed the mundane quarter games and chose dollar JOB FP. $17 from $25 at Caesars. Of course, I then lost it on the machine and inserted a $20 bill. Playing fairly aggressive at $3 a hand, I got two Aces. I drew two more for a lovely $75 hit! I clapped it up so much that a serious player stopped his game and came over.  "I thought you got something big." Well, it was big to me, but I CMA with: "Four aces, but it was the wrong game." He said, "I've made that mistake too." Time for craps $25 FP. I hit the $25 table and avoided the packed $10 tables and shady characters. I witnessed a guy throwing dice like he was mad at the world, just slamming them on the table. He was hitting and hitting, but his style unnerved me and I sat it out. He finally crapped out. The next guy was betting $200 a roll, but passed on shooting. My turn. He told me to keep the noise going. Yeah, sure pal. Five, crappy point. I hit it anyway. It's all in the wrist, baby. I left Caesars up a cool $100! Lunch at MS Harrah's. Every damn Seven Stars in a fifty mile radius must have packed the shuttle. I had to wait fifteen more minutes for the next one. I hope they all got slammed. Back at Caesars to add on.  In preservation mode, I tried the old quarter bank. Progressive at $1,010. Only one available machine. I lost $39.25.  Senior regular next to me was bombing and left. I slid over and inserted $100.75. I lost another $14. Then 4H, 5H, Junk, 8H, 7H. I drew 6H! My old friend the Straight Flush. Long time no see! Don't be a stranger. On my old RF machine to boot! That sucker rocketed up the 250 units! I cashed out at $149.50 and left town. Bottom Line: $90 profit. The craps win emboldened me to keep gambling after the quick $39 loss. Glad that guy left to leave me a thrill. The regular on the end took my old machine and lost $50 last I checked. Didn't he notice me bombing and moving? At least his cigarette smoke no longer drifted towards me. I should have thanked the sucker. Happy Lunar New Year. Reporting from home base, Festive FAA.

I shed a tear when a jobber hits a rack of pointies. Please tell me there was no kicker.

Such is life in Jobber World. I didn't notice the irrelevant kicker. This low roller took the $75 and ran. Grateful for the Straight Flush three hours later to avoid giving it back as well. I hope that SF isn't the top hand of 2017. $62.50 doesn't go far.
