GOOD TRIP Eduardo!  Seriously!  Playing at the quarter level and DDB even at Positive Expectation, what happened to you is not at all out of the norm.  The variance on that is so high that you might go two or three trips without landing the windfall Bonus!  Afterall, the odds on Quad Aces with a kicker for the 2,000 credits is not by any means a common hand.  Yet you have to give up shots at lot of 50-credit Full House wins since you are tossing a pair when your two pair starting hand contains a pair of Aces.

Eduardo,great trip! Single line DDB can be a killer when the quads dont come! You will really like DDB when you try multiline! With the bankroll you had you really did well!

Thanks, Boops. I think I did alright too. I probably played more than 50% of the time at the dollar level and the rest at quarters. It wasn't a very big bankroll for DDB dollars to be sure.
But other than the quad aces, all of my good hits came in dollars, which was excellente!
 
Of course if those aces were bucks instead of change I'd have come home a winner. But I can't complain given how much else went my way.

BD's recent reader response in SS says if you pay him 50K upfront he will tell you were he is going to play  the next week. If you want to know why, it will cost more.

I'm with Webman - are you funning us?  I'd chuckle if those initials were "RS" and not "BD".

Sorry to say, BD's mercenary side was exposed. (Not that I blame Him.) July 2008 Strickly Slots in his Dancer's Answers column. It was in response to a question from a reader, believing if he only knew where BD played and his game selection his results would improve. Duh, you think?  Guess he hasn't been reading BD's stuff very long. it is all about game selection and the ancillary side benefits. (Promos, CB,  etc.)  The response indicated that are few real good plays out there and to just give them away, his own oppurtunities would go away as well.
Our own SM through out his posts has explained more than once the need to know way more than just the paytable on  a given machine.  Most of the folks on here get it. This particular reader would really benefit from a membership here.
 
Tangueray feels that the $50k could just be played.  Que Sera Sera!

I am going to raise my prices. I only was charging a flat 25k.

Shoot, I told someone where I was going to play for a bag of peanuts. They weren't even salted!
