VP Envy - Just Once Let Me Play That Much!

Post by Lucky Larry »

There are times the sin of jealousy gets to me.  This past weekend was a prime example.  Wife and I spent great Valentine's weekend at a local Lake Charles casino-Laubeurge du Lac.  The place has great VP odds on single hand dollars- all 99% returns.  We decide to play our money together on our first machine to test our luck and since I volunteer for VPFree I wanted to update/check for any new machines.  Man next to us is getting $1350 payout playing $2 -Max Play Spin Poker ($90/hand).  He puts in another $1K and hits $5,960.  I congratulate him and he says not playing real well he has put in $11K so far for the evening.  He moves down one machine waiting for payout.  Another $1K and hits RF for $8K.  While waiting for second hand pay he moves to the final SP and same situation hits a RF ($8K) after about $1,500.  Since I had checked the SP when the casino put it in January for VPFree I didn't think the odds were high for his SDDB.  I was right (- 6/5 - 97.77%).  He now gets paid for both RF

There are times the sin of jealousy gets to me.  This past weekend was
a prime example.  Wife and I spent great Valentine's weekend at a local
Lake Charles casino-Laubeurge du Lac.  The place has great VP odds on
single hand dollars- all 99% returns.  We decide to play our money
together on our first machine to test our luck and since I volunteer
for VPFree I wanted to update/check for any new machines. 

Man next to us is getting $1350 payout playing $2 -Max Play Spin Poker
($90/hand).  He puts in another $1K and hits $5,960.  I congratulate
him and he says not playing real well he has put in $11K so far for the
evening.  He moves down one machine waiting for payout.  Another $1K
and hits RF for $8K.  While waiting for second hand pay he moves to the
final SP and same situation hits a RF ($8K) after about $1,500.  Since
I had checked the SP when the casino put it in January for VPFree I
didn't think the odds were high for his SDDB.  I was right (- 6/5 -
97.77%).  He now gets paid for both RF's.  I am beginning to get jealous even though we just hit for $400.  We keep playing and so does he.  Twenty minutes later he locks up the far machine.  It has dealt hiim AWAK for $72K payout.  We congratulated him...and left so I could confess my sins.  I confess to the pure jealousy and the wish just once I could have that much to play and win.Lucky Larry
