Re: A Trip to Bizarro World!

Post by olds442jetaway »

Last night’s marathon session using my dribble above method worked fine again. No Royal, but got up about 250 and swung for the fences as my hero Ted Williams did at Fenway park. Unfortunately, I swung on DDS hoping for dealt Deuces or a Royal. At least I quit when the 250 was gone Still there having lunch. A few pics of my highlights. By the way in 1952 when I was four I did see Ted Williams hit a home run out of the park at Fenway.
Sorry if I made anybody hungry these are very good they have them at the southside takeout restaurant in the earth food court they are pricey though at 16 bucks comes with chips and a drink

One more for the road. I just wanted to cover the 10 buck gas bill for the ride home. The 5 Aces did it. 10.75 profit. I’m outta here! Pic doesn’t show it. Machine balance was 110.75

That's what I said after my RF. I even took out insurance with a check for the full proceeds, frustrating any further play. You must scout soda bottles like pay tables. That one is a week old! At least I have cheaper food options. $20 ribeye steak sandwich using caramelized onions and havarti cheese. Comes with fries, New England clam chowder or other appetizer and chocolate cake. I must enjoy this meal weekly. Requires 3,000 step walk to Resorts or $2 jitney. Hey, your 10% profit! Quadfather would not be denied.

Another solo trip on the agenda tonite. Have to resist trying other stuff if I get ahead on my usual machine and method. All these years I never fully realized the time difference on hitting something on multi line vs single line games. But if they are really bad, you will lose faster on multi line due to higher bet amounts

Basic mathematics, Quadfather. As an exclusive single line player, I sometimes break out my sundial. You apparently prefer the feast or famine plan.

IMO Ted Williams aka the Splendid Splinter was the greatest hitter of all time and one of my Top 3 players overall. He probably would have been an excellent VP player: patience, discipline, good eye.

I really do like multi line versus single. But, this comment is absolutely right on - several dealt dud hands in a row and what you thought was a ton of credits is gone before you know it!

In my opinion, multi line tightens the clustering of results around EV. That's usually desirable for my purposes, and therefore I prefer multi line if reasonably available.

In theory, 96% multi line will usually grind a player into the negative. But olds is not playing in theory, he's playing in Bizarro World!

Williams has to be top three. I memorized all of his statistics and accomplishments as a child. We’re not even mentioning all the missed time due to conscription.
