At Sandia Casino in Albuquerque, really late at night - there's a woman that actually hits and pounds on the screen, EVERY SPIN.  After the first few times, I get up and move.  It's very annoying.
 
I did ask a change person what happens if she breaks the screen.  She said she'd be 86ed and asked to pay for the screen.  One can only hope....

This weekend in AC I saw a woman playing quick hits with a 5X6 pic of her family (I guess) on her screen. Doesnt that lessen the fun when you cant see what you won??

Or even worse, seeing all these faces staring back at you knowing what they'll want if you hit the "big one." Nothing like relatives emerging from the woodwork.
  Shadow, i think that was a "patterned" bill so it doesn't matter what direction or position it was lying in. That was a sign that you should have changed denoms.
  To that Denverdude, you may have noticed in my post about blowing smoke rings that "Was" is the key word here. Since I didn't mention any names about tinfoil hats or skivvies, I have to surmise your guilty conscience made you fess up.
  Vido, I've noticed em bringing everything imagineable to the casino for good luck. The killer is the folk that bring rosary beads and hang em on their machine. Yeah go ask padre what he thinks about gambling and God in the same sentence. Thats like bringing a lotto ticket to get blessed at Easter.

I don't see any reason why rosary beads and prayers would be any less effective than trying to see patterns and cycles.

Mightwin: It's funny you should mention this. When I was at the casino recently, this annoying lady behind me kept pounding the screen with her palm. It was one of those animated slots (that are normally nickle machines that you can bet tons of credits on ) but this was a dollar machine. Instead of pushing the button to spin, she kept pounding the screen of her machine with her palm and that would spin it. I wanted to slap her. She finally left. Then came back later and did the same thing.
 
Ed: I forgot I have some rosary beads in my car. I will bring them in with me to the casino next time and see what happens.
 
Speaking of strange things that happen at the casino, I remember this story from a few years ago.  A lady I used to work with was at the casino and some guy came up to her while she was playing slots and asked her if her back hurt. I think she told him a little as she had been sitting at the machine for a while. He then asked her if she wanted him to rub it for her (I believe he was there with a girlfriend of wife but she had ventured off). She of course told him no.  Wonder if he was just being over friendly or if he was trying to get closer to her purse!

It looks like there are no patterns in football NFL betting. Seems like even a bozo or a monkey throwing darts could win 50%. I would just hang my head in a bottle if I only hit 41%. Especially if I was calling myself a professional. Hahaha.
And that is Oej's stone cold lock call of the week.

And to think there's only like, what, half a dozen of about 33,000 users here who even bother to post about rs? let alone give a damn? Nobody is a consistent winner yet Mr. Argentino seems to think so. Perhaps he's been hitting the glass too hard or putting beads on his screens in weird patterns in hopes of increasing his ER. I believe a tinfoil hat for rs is in order. OEJ will of course, bring a pair of tinfoil socks.

Also I will bring some mouthwash. I did mention his breath was like tuna boat.

I made a killing this nfl season off bozo.
I would take the opposite side of his bet and double it.
I am donating all the winnings to charity. Maybe some of it will trickle down to the bozo.
Thanks bozo. You da man! hahahahehehe.

How about this. My father in law told me that he always wear new clothes everytime he goes to the casino - sure win. I tried once, it didn't work. Can't help thinking the amount of new shirts and pants I have to buy with the hope of winning.

not necessarily. If you get something at a second-hand store or someone gives you a hand-me down, that is a "new" item to you as you had never worn it. that is, unless the item has to be bought from a clothier or dept. store, then it's gonna cost ya some $$
