Hey Ted,
"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." - George Bernard Shaw.

I basically went through the same challenges you're going through some time ago. I tried to share info, be helpful, post pics, (thanks again Faygo), etc., but the losers became very unhappy about it. So I quit posting pictures.

There are just some folks who just can't stand a winner. They would rather have you share in their misery than celebrate your victories.

Congrats on your wins. I'm rejoicing in your victories.

lol   Ok, touche "CK".......you clearly alos have "Selective" reading comprehension skills.....and thanks for calling me a "pig".....not sure what I ever said against you to warrant that, but hey, I like pigs in general.I AM NOT criticizing the posting of pics, or people talking about winning, or being "jealous" of winners, etc.   COME ON!!!!   you seriously cannot be that stupid to fail to see what my real, SPECIFIC point is here......Stop twisting and distorting what people say and write here just so you can make your own unimaginative (and pointless) post appear relevant and more interesting.....You honestly believe TED WINS 80% of the time, all the time, year after year, no matter what or where he plays?!?!?!      Tell us, what is YOUR "Rate of success??"

[DaBurglar]

  The weird thing is...of the 3 forums I post to a lot, all gambling related, this is the only forum that does this.Does what exactly Vman?  Post pictures?  or have people post mean spirited, knife fights that feature distortions, twisting of words and meaning and flat out FALSEHOODS??   Not to mention personal attacks, bullying and expressing JOY in other peoples' physical suffering???  lolSeriously Vman, I am not looking for an ally here, just logical, clearheaded, realistic thinkers......you posted earlier about Ted's AMAZING rate of success.......tell us exatly why YOU do not buy into that kind of success (sustained over a long time.......NOT short term, which I concede is totally possible to win 80% of the time or even MORE if we are only looking at a short specific defined period of time.......)I just know a normal RNG will (over time) even out any excessive success a person might enjoy, and 80% is excessive when almost all modern VP paytables and games give at least a small edge to the casino!

[Tedlark]

IF.....IF he really truly wins 80% of the time (and not just a few bucks, but whatever his "WIN/LOSS" parameters are, which he still refuses to actually state by the way).....IF this is true, then YES!!! YESSS I totally admit, I am 100% jealous of any player who somehow could actually win 4 out of 5 times playing a game that is (at best) a coin flip (i.e. Video Poker at its best paytables these days is around 99%, almost a coin flip).    DaBurglar the above were YOUR words. Where were the two words: prove it, in there?

Wow...there is a lot of wackiness going on here. So I might as well add some fuel to the fire. I am undertaking a new study. As if I need another one that can cost me even more money. My last session up at Mohegan Sun had some of the most bizarre things happen. I only mention this because this thread has made its way well into Bizarro world.
     It was a full moon. Very big and very bright. On the way up, I saw an unusual number of lunatic drivers even for I95. Lots of wacky behavior by some patrons up at Mohegan too and more drunks than usual. Now for the vp part. There were 4 people playing in my row in the old poker room. First my machine lit up with 5 aces, but I was playing Deuces Wild so it really didn't matter. Within the next 5 or 6 minutes, all 4 people in that row playing various games hit AWAK. One guy playing the nickel multi strike machine, but at the dollar level was dealt 5 Aces on the bottom line playing DBDW for a cool hand pay of 1600-. I ended up with a sizeable losing session, but I spent some time wandering around with my O'Douls just taking in some of the scenary and goings on. I saw 3 people hit quads within 5 minutes playing Pickem. I saw a couple of Royals in another area and some really big hits some folks had on the usual junky penny machines. The point of all of this bs is now I wonder is if there is a connection with vp and a full moon. My wife said the 1st graders that day were wacky beyond belief and lots of behavior problems. I know there is various scientific evidence on how moon phases can effect many things including behavior. Anyone who has weird personal experiences with vp on full moon nights don't hesitate to post. And no as far as I know, I am not a Werewolf.

    Thanks CK for the good thoughts. One thing that cracks me up is that DaBurglar rips me and me alone for thinking that having a positive attitude goes far while several others here have also posted similar feelings. By the way, gotta love George Bernard Shaw.

  DaBurglar if CK did call you a pig that would be an insult to Arnold Ziffel.

Where were the two words: prove it, in there?Ted, you did it again, you intentionally MIS QUOTED, misapplied and distorted what I wrote, and you very OBVIOUSLY  OMITTED the final LINE of the above referenced post of mine (which by the way TED is just another form of DECEPTION, or.....ahem....LYING......when a person deliberately and intentionally OMITS information in order to try and have their viewpoint "appear" more valid or true, this is known as a sin of omission which is another form of deceit.)HERE is the EXACT copy of the portion of my post that TED tried to DESPERATELY pass off as proving his warped viewpoint, and any sane and fairminded person will clearly comprehend what I am saying and notice in the LAST line in bold italics that I say I am NOT jealous of TED! EXACT QUOTE (which can be verified by simply scrolling up this thread  lol):"IF.....IF he really truly wins 80% of the time (and not just a few bucks,
but whatever his "WIN/LOSS" parameters are, which he still refuses to
actually state by the way).....IF this is true, then YES!!!   YESSS  I

[Tedlark]

  But where does your post say PROVE IT?

[DaBurglar]

  DaBurglar if CK did call you a pig that would be an insult to Arnold Ziffle."Gotta Love George Bernard Shaw".........I'd bet 58 bucks you never read one iota of any of his works.   lol    Stop trying to appear smart or well read Ted, you are better off playing the narrow minded, misinformed, rightwing, 2nd Amendment bully that you really are......remember what I said to you long ago, just be yourself

[DaBurglar]

  But where does your post say PROVE IT?It doesnt.....wtf is your point or what  are you babbling about???    How does "prove it" apply to what that post is saying???Wow  you are really confused, or tired, or just plain frustrated......You clearly are avoiding the LAST line of my post in order to try and "get over" with this petty misconception......lol  talk about desperate
