Re: The Path
Super Saturday. I won $17 with $25 Caesars JOB FP. I hunkered down for $300 coin in. Holding a pair of fours, I got the other pair for $125. I lost table FP, nine to seven craps. Back to VP and another +$22 on a premium hand. Debated free voucher lunch at Ruby or Harrah's. I chose Harrah's. My $13 tab was 10% of my VP win. To my amazement, I was quickly dealt max quad sevens and bolted +$136 after 1 TC. My early exit meant that I could slowly enjoy my fruit dessert back at Bally's. Bailey's at Caesars to cap off the day. Net Day: +$293. Cold outside, but CET is ablaze with quads. Must document the day. CS Amended continues to pay off my slim BR.
Seventh Heaven!

Thanks. Ironic that I often daydream of a dealt sequential quad. It finally came. I honored my end of the bargain by bolting. I know that a dealt RF is one in 649,000. What about a mere dealt quad, any sequence?

So call me slow but what exactly is a sequential quad? Starting with quad A's and progressing upward?

Failed Friday. I won $22 with my $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. I hit a max quad for $125 after $320 coin in. I won $25 table FP on a nine craps hit. I won over $230 at Caesars. Unfortunately, I went to Harrah's. I won a $75 quad there. But I lost at the rate of $120 an hour playing dollar JOB and BP. Net Day: -$160. $325 of quad hits gone. Lesson: Leave well enough alone. Leave town two hours earlier than usual on a good day. 259 TC, 240H and 19C. JOB quarter Progressive at $1,350. I lost $9 on it in brief play. I should have parked myself at one of these machines and stayed until I lost maybe half my BR. It would have taken six hours with such misfortune. Poor comps of course.

Super Saturday. I won $5 with $25 Caesars JOB FP. Grinded on, then quickly hit a max quarter quad. A half hour later, a max quad BP quad ten. Thirty three minutes later, my second max quarter quad. I lost $25 table FP, eight to seven craps. I debated leaving town, but did Harrah's lunch. Back at Caesars, a dollar FH and +$48 more. Net Day: +$150. I recouped 94% of yesterday's debacle. Unfortunately, it cost me a day of leisure at home. Progressive $1,015. Three quads in 67 minutes including moving machines twice is stellar. 34 TC. If I hold coin in to triple figures, I do well. What is it about staying under $1,000 coin in? Duration is not my friend. FAA back in a clear flight path.

Fatigued Friday. I won $40 from $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. But I was quite upset to get a $25 quad on my second hand, before easing into max bet mode. I went on to hit two more quads, but only for $75 and $50. I won my $25 table FP on a quick seven craps. I entered Harrah's with $271. I left eighty minutes later with $131 and 115 TCs earned. Back to Caesars to at least recoup half of the $140 loss. On my second BP hand, I hit quad threes for $80. Mission accomplished and 73 TCs. I should have never left. Net Day: +$37. Chump change for four quads. That's the price of staying. I've been aching for an actual bonus quad in BP and finally got one. Next time under better circumstances. Reeling yet relieved.
Edit: I returned to dollar BP after my drink. Great idea! I burned through about two thirds of my hundred. Holding a pair of fours, I got another pair for $200. The extended trip paid off, more than recouping the -$140 Harrah's. Net Day: +$157. Beats +$90 ND pre Harrah's. What a hot five quad day on the Boardwalk. Raining outside, but sunny in FAA account. Loud lady right behind me had won $2,000 on DDB 4A/K and apologized to husband for tax hit. I was so miserable I went hard core max. We all had a laugh about it later.

Sad Saturday. I won $20 from $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. I hit a DW Five Kind and a max BP quad, $75 and $125. But I got greedy and busted. Quarter JOB a total loss, -$40. $1,060 Progressive. I lost $25 table FP on ten to seven craps. Yesterday's win was just a loan. Net Day: -$160. 111 TC. This RF drought is killing me.
Jackpot: DDB Triple Play, $2,000.

Suicide Sunday. Progressive $1,130! I won $20 with $25 Caesars quarter JOB. But I soon left and lost it plus $40 on dollar JOB. I lost $25 table FP on four to seven craps. Lunch at Harrah's. I lost -$180 on dollar JOB. Notice a theme? It's a terrible game that usually takes five times our money. I now have zero reason to patronize Harrah's. Three straight bust trips. My only marina trips will be for Borgata. I also have NO reason to patronize dollar JOB machines. That should solve my gambling problem in a nutshell. No more ruin. A conservative is a liberal who got mugged. A quarter VP player is a dollar VP player who got mugged. Reality has truly set in. I honestly wish that lightning strikes me down if I ever play one again. Just can't afford it. 82 TC. Net Day: -$240. Glad I don't bear arms.
