Re: The Path
Suitable Saturday. Against my instincts, I returned to Caesars to monitor the Progressive status. Still counting at $1,320. I couldn't resist. $28 from $25 FP. Lost it all; inserted a twenty. I hit a max coin quad and cashed out $49, actually making a buck by staying. I lost my $25 table FP, ten to seven craps. Furious, I sped back to get another max coin quad on a new machine, and did. I left up $52 net. I won another $28 next door and left net +$80. I passed by a guy my age in high limit room who won $4,000 slot jackpot. I said, "Congratulations!" He shook his head sadly and replied, "Still down." By the time I left it was $1,335. An acquaintance was at 70 TC, or $3,500. coin in. Preparation H, anyone?

Solid Sunday. I won $32 from $25 Caesars FP. Then I lost $25 of it chasing a quad/RF. I was dealt a quad nines. Progressive was $1,385! Loss was double that, but I clawed $25 on dollar JOB. I lost $25 table FP for the third consecutive day! Six to seven craps. Next door was also poor. I lost $16, despite another max quad. I was down $30 net. Of course, ATM for $100 and a Harrah's jaunt. I won $65 on dollar JOB. Two full houses paid $90. Lunch HH, and was I ever happy, Net +$35.
P.S.- Progressive $1,400 upon my return. No available machines, of course. I played some dollar JOB and broke even. I heard a roar and ran over. Man hit it on machine I played in the morning for $1,402. He needed a jack of clubs (J.C.) and got it. I snapped a photo and left in disgust. All RFs seem to hit Sundays >3 PM. Just saying.

Friday frustration. I won $17 from $25 Caesars FP. Gave it back. Dollar JOB was a disaster as I should retain by now. -$190. They just rake it in on Friday before weekend loosening. I have always had poor Caesars Fridays. I lost $25 FP yet again! Nine to seven craps. ATM walk for $200. I lost Resorts promo and rode to Harrah's. I won $100 thanks to a max dollar quad and FH. Off to Bally's. I won $60 there thanks to a max fifty cent quad. No time for lunch or shopping! Caesars castrated me for the day. Four quads totaling $231. Net -$40. Bitter resignation.

Super Saturday. I found a hot machine. $60 from $25 Bally's FP after $38 quad. I hung in there on a machine that was letting me play all day. $25 FP craps win on a seven. They never took my voucher; stay tuned. Off to Resorts. I won an orange water bottle. It is my seventh; I won six last year. Lunch at Tun Tavern. Caesars for 2 PM Cleopatra drawing. I was not among the five called. FAA also forsaken at 3, 4 and 5 PM. But I had a Bailey's and Blue Moon Belgian on them. I also won $80 on dollar JOB. Progressive $1,100 and quarter JOB full. Just as well. I actually lost $5 seeking a quad, as it was only for $25. But I won $80 overall there. Net +$190. I saw a guy win $4000 on $10 DDB with a quad 2,3,4. Life is good. The drawing was anticlimactic as usual. The rich get richer. I saw someone with 7,000 entries; I had 26. I returned to Bally's before leaving for another comp roll of the bones. Eight hit for $25. So long, suckers.

Subdued Sunday. I should have left two hours earlier. I won $20 from $25 Bally's FP. I gave it back plus $20. Then I won a $75 quad. I won $25 table FP on an eight point hit. Lunch on the pier, then shopping. I tried Harrah's to claw a few bucks. That's exactly what occurred, +$15 there, and I was down $60 at one point. Two $25 quads. Peanuts after making too many foolhardy max bets. Back to Bally's. I lost $55 in a thirty minute sprint. Fifty cent VP is brutal when they are cold. Net +$26. Thank you crapshooter. I let greed wipe out my win, as is common practice. I have a mental list of tip money I will happily disburse after the elusive RF. Plus the sprint into the Atlantic.

I'm hopeful that lunch on the pier did not involve you fighting a seagull for possession of a half eaten lobster roll that was tossed onto the pier by its original eater?

Futile Friday. The day is simply cursed for me. Last week was -$160 net. I was too distraught to post.
This week was much better. I won $22 with $25 Caesars FP. I gave it back plus $40. I won $25 table FP on an eight point hit. But back at VP, another give back. $100 ATM walk. I lost twice on the Resorts promotion. At Bally's I won $29, thanks to a $25 quad at fifty cent denom. Nice to leave the money pit. Speaking of, back at Caesars I won $16 thanks to full house dollars. Net -$15. So much for conquering the casino. Staying afloat on the shore, this is FAA.

Bad day. I decided to play an hour at Bally's before leaving town. I went from +$28 to -$190. Fifty cent JOB and DW. I was +$80 at Harrah's on dollar JOB, which is where I'll stay as long as possible going forward. Boring day. No JOB quads, so even Harrah's was dull. I have zero luck, and I mean zero, at the two Boardwalk CETs. Terrified of returning. It's just not worth it. Lost table $25 FP, five to seven. Progressive $1,016. I don't know what's worse, this or opioids.

FAA,
Instead of short coining $1 9/6 JOB at 98.373%, why not play 5 quarters DDB 98.98% at Harrahs. Since you sometimes play $2 and $3, you will probably get to play more hands at 5 quarters. Also stick with 5 quarters. The quads will come. You also earn tier credits twice as fast for the same amount played through. Set your session loss limit and stick to it (no ATM trips). I asked before how you get $25 free play + $25 free craps multiple times each week but you kept that as an FAA secret. I don't know if you can play the free play at Harrahs. If you can, then only play at Harrahs. Also, use VPW software to learn the DDB game. It has the best trainer because it will keep drilling you on similar mistakes until you get them correct. Good Luck!
