Hi Bill. I just took care of the horses a bit on line. With this heat, I’m sure they can use the help for their work. I also read about the organization on their website. Thanks again for posting the info here. I’m going to take a break for a few days from Bizarro. We do have an Ascend level outdoor picnic up there this Saturday. Music, food, etc. Last year it was very nice. The Mrs enjoyed it. I think they may be giving me some points too for going. Good, because I earn no spendable points on VP up there unless I play 97 percent or lower machines. Not worth it.

Just a few notes about my most recent session. I would say impossible, but we all know anything can happen in VP. I decided for a change to play 99.54 JOB. Single line. I thought I would be playing conservative waiting for 9 times my current bet in losses (starting with bet one ) Then going up only one unit ( one dollar ) and backing down anytime I hit anything over the next 9 hands or so. Long story short…….8 hours later I had hit no quads and few full houses. 😬 After the Clone took me up to betting 15 bucks a hand, bankroll was gone. I estimate over 5,000 hands were played with no quads and Full Houses well below average.

Thanks. I know the group will appreciate your contribution. Were you on FB, you could join the group and similar ones. Don't even have to join to see posts. Getting back to Bizarro, sorry to hear you had an awful session. All I can do is wish you a better outcome the next trip.

Sorry to hear. With your system, you actually could have neutralized 2.5 hours worth of losses in one fell swoop. Then rinse and repeat every 2.5 hours. But MS denied any such possibility with an ice cold machine. I’m so skittish about $5 bets. Maybe the best option for me is $3 flat betting and just hope the RF doesn’t come to haunt me.

Something is wrong with this picture. You play, and hope that you don't hit the best hand possible?

Well, at least, you did have a couple of pretty good sessions preceding this one as some sort of consolation. As we all know, you just do not know what the next session will bring - joy, disgust, or whatever. All one can do is reload and try again.

That’s the game we all play. One message for FAA. On a non 800 for bet one machine, assuming the casino lets you bet more than 5 units, just bet 12 quarters instead of 3 bucks on dollars.
Bill…,my pleasure to help the horses a bit besides my usual Shelter visits. Thanks for the FB tip. I will be following the horses somewhat. It’s so interesting. At least for me.

Olds, on my Facebook feed, I occasionally see posts from a group that follows the Assateague (MD)/Chincoteague (VA) wild horses. Years ago, I had the chance to see them as well as those on Ocracoke Island (NC). If you haven't seen them, you may want to take a road trip one day. A little deviation from Bizarro World. Next time I will respond on your thread more related to beautiful things.

Olds, my machines are fixed denominations. Either quarter or $1/$2/$5. I could scout others. Losing out on $260 on two quads was a baneful bummer indeed.
