Trip Report

[FAA]

Quick, regrettable trip today. I strode in confidently, flush from my five quad extravaganza. Only $12 from $25 FP, a sure sign to flee for the craps table. Progressive was $1,170 and ice cold bank. I lost the $12 and $43 more. $700 coin in, so 1000 or so quad free hands! I did roll a seven with my $25 table FP. Net loss after expense: $35. Ran out like my life depended on it. 14 TC, FWIW.

FAA, where do you live again, exactly, in proximity to AC?    What is you total gambling budget / allotment for a given month?

So, had 45 minutes to kill at Borgata Tuesday afternoon before a meeting. Sat down to play .50 9/6 JOB. In those 45 minutes, machine was ice cold as far as small winners, but somehow managed 3 quads and walked away plus $50. Aggravating thing was that I usually split my play between JOB and SDB. Picked JOB this time. The 3 quads I hit were Aces (which would have paid $400 in SDB) and 3's twice, which would have paid $200 each time. Never get that good a quick run on SDB.

Three quads in 45 minutes, so the hell with small winners. Sounds like a blessing. You do know JOB hands will not necessarily replicate in the premium games.

I keep track of which quads I get on job. I started doing this when I noticed the pattern late in 2011. Sooooo many more Aces, 2's, 3's and 4's than when I play other games when they count. Coincidence.....who knows....I can only report what I see. In particular, quad deuces hit the most by far. Luckily, they are also hitting about on schedule when I play deuces wild. I won't even talk about the Royals. Rapidly heading for another 500k run without one. More than one third of the way there already. Very mild Martingale clone play is saving my a......Flat betting no longer an option with the patterns I have been seeing the last 5 or 6 years.

I'm solidly against flat betting. $25 hourly play budget even when struggling. Simply a shame to exceed. It's only entertainment. Bet with your head, not over it.

Another AC trip in the black. No thanks to VP. A $25 craps hit was quite propitious. I won a measly $18 on my $25 FP at Bally's. Gone in under an hour. Armed with my paltry bankroll, I attacked Caesars in a bid for immortality. Or at least a RF. I won all of $5 on the "hot lady" machine, finally hitting a $19 quad. No way I even consider staying with the obnoxious pipe smoker two seats down wafting his smoke on me. Of course he hit a max quad right after arrival. I took a break and found a nice unwrapped sub next to a slot for a quick lunch. Why not gamble with my health while here? Then I returned to the other side. Lost about $25 until I hit a quad to finish a big buck up on that one. $1,070 Progressive was attractive. Hasta la vista AC.

you can gamble in a casino but can not buy yourself something to eat?if you found an open bottle of water would you have drunk that too?gross!

[notes1]

gotta agree with doris, are you crazy. some nut could have purposely tamperd with that sub and left it. as far as the cigar smoke, if it took place in the smoking section, what the heck are you doing there.

Oooooh, I don't think even George Costanza would've eaten that, either.
