Re: Bizarro World 2025
Such magical machines are not within my purview. I kind of like betting dollars. The $400 Aces hits have taken the sting out of two sessions. Still waiting for lightning to strike and taking a hike.

I never get Friday or Saturday Comp room offers. Even with over 2m coin in a year.

I was busy finalizing my taxes the last few days, but the short version is 2 more successful sessions with the JOB clone and the Mrs connected early on Thursday evening with a couple of triples, doubles, and an infield home run. I think she has pics. If so I will post.
I have 4 more sessions to complete with the JOB 9/6 Clone before I can declare at least temporary success. Next trial is a solo one Sunday evening. If successful, that will make 9 in a row.
Here’s the downside even if it does work…..How many out there even have access to a 9/6 machine that allows bets of up to bet 25, and the ability to switch from quarters to halves, to dollars all within the same machine. How long will I have that access as well.

Watched the Masters. Mcllroy finally nailed the Grand Slam.
. Dinner with the Mrs. Time now to head up to Bizarro. 4 JOB Clone trials left. I think the Mrs is on tap for this coming Thursday. Taxes are done and in. Whew!! Royal pain in the butt. Not cheap either being forced to itemize to offset W-2Gs and other gross winnings and of course the greedy State stole 7 percent off the top from every W-2G. The withholding is not mandatory, but since this State taxes you on Gross winnings with no write off ability like the Fed has, you would get caught owing a bundle to the State if you have multiple W-2Gs and no State tax Withheld. The bummer on the Fed side is you can’t deduct losses from winnings unless you itemize and for most people, the standard deduction would be a better option if one had no gambling income. The entire process is very unfair to gamblers when investing in the stock market is just another form of gambling, yet those losses can all be written off both Fed and State whether you itemize your deductions or not.

Peace of mind is gambling $1.50 a spin. If you can maintain that denomination, how much can you ultimately lose? I guess $150 if it’s totally cold.

She has as much as 400 because you are betting 10, but only getting paid for betting five unless you have a multiplier. Once in a while, all of the quads and full houses that she gets are without multipliers that’s when she could lose four or $500. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen.
