I think that pretty much sums it up.   We'll see if anyone actually bets smaller.  I doubt it.  

I am trying to figure out the point of this entire post. Are you saying if you bet less you won't lose as much?

Does anyone ever read these posts except Eduardo?  When you play overall negative video poker games the fact is the faster you play, the more money you bet and the longer you play, the more money you lose.  This wouldn't have to be said, except many players choose to ignore it.    Do you think you will ever see a sign like this hanging in a casino?

Phil always complains about how the best games in his casino are like 97% or whatever.

But he doesn't realize that he could just get his smartphone out and play any of the free games at videopoker.com for 100% payback. And 0 variance to boot. Actually, the videopoker.com games are probably infinity%, since there's the possibility you could win the occasional contest.

You bet I do.  I play for free on this website every day.  I never see any of the regular forum posters playing against me.    This website is the best video poker deal on the planet.   Talk about intelligent play!!     Here's a question for you.  If there was no money involved, would you still play video poker in a casino?  I agree it wouldn't be as much fun, but I would.  Winning money is not the most important thing to me in video poker.  If it was, I would have quit long ago.  I go to the casino for the same reason I went fishing in my younger days.  It's the anticipation and excitement that I look forward to, not cash in my pocket.  If you want cash in your pocket, their are lots of better things to do than gamble it away.

I'm NEVER on any daily leader boards.....sigh.

Oh wait, I think I'm up to 429 daily high scores. Never mind.

Eduardo that's the longest NON-POLITICAL RANT post I've seen in a while.

[quote=TedLark]Eduardo that's the longest NON-POLITICAL RANT post I've seen in a while.[/quote]Me too.  That was quite an essay.   I'm glad he's not into politics.  The battery on his laptop would give out... 

Great Stuff Eduardo 😂😂😂😂😂

Eduardo, Did Bill mention with all his years of his experience that he is able to play just as skillfully as a 6-month old?
