Re: Bizarro World 2023
You had a 99.1% session; cause for celebration. It would be like me losing a paltry $35 on $4,000 coin in.

Thank you very much Doris. Actually, the Mrs asked me to taker down to Kohls from Mohegan which is on the wrong side of that bridge. There was no way to get home. I had to drive up north on local roads. The short version is my hour normal ride took us 4 hours. Feel bad. The trucker was a local guy.

Glad you made it home safely and didn't have a disastrous trip VP-wise.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 11:23 amThank you very much Doris.

Thanks OTB. Life is so short. Every day a gift, and of course unpredictable. I still always remember you and family as well as all of our VP friends in my prayers.

I am planning another solo attempt Sun Evening. I am finding the results on our free play at a bet one level quite bizarre. The Mrs and I keep coming out even or better playing for instance 80 hands JOB on 20 bucks in free play. Of course and it may be coincidence the road gets bumpy and loaded with pot holes as soon as I move up in denomination. I and quite a few other players have noticed that when their bankroll gets thin and they drop from say bet 10 quarters to 5, that’s when the Royal hits. I don’t have specifics and data of course just comments and it is always possible and hopefully true that it is just selective memory. That actually did happen to me once on the very next hand and also it happened once to a Vp buddy who was playing next to me.

It sounds like a good place to play if people are hitting so many royals that they're noticing patterns. From memory I couldn't tell you anything about my last royal.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:23 pmI and quite a few other players have noticed that when their bankroll gets thin and they drop from say bet 10 quarters to 5, that’s when the Royal hits.
You can tell they're skilled players because of the bet variation. If you flat bet, the casino grinds you down.

I’m trying to forget our last Royal. We were playing our bet one 9/6 JOB on the tiny free play. Myself 20, wife 10. Her free play landed a .25 short coin Royal. Still testing, but it’s very odd that both of us are ahead for 2023 on our free play following the 40 hand and 80 hand rule. I will test it again tonight. Have 20 in free play that expires at midnight. Overall, the Mrs is just about even for 2023. I’m waaaayyyy behind the 8 ball. Probably 10,000-15,000 already. Of course with the Clone, one or two hits could make that up. I’m not counting in it though. Just hoping.

If you flat bet, the casino grinds you down. I hate short quads and the short RF is disastrous. But it beats being a sitting duck and seeing the BR vaporize before your eyes. I’d rather weave in and out of risk.

FWIW, my comments were Bizarro-specific. In real life, I don't vary much if at all because in Soviet Russia, I grind the casino down.

Usually if I adjust my bet, it's to meet a specific play target within my allotted schedule.
