A Pet Peeve.

Post by billryan »

I notice if you do well on one of the contest games, it tells you you won X amount.
For example, today in the monthly contest I scored around 66,000 and it said if I was playing quarters, I'd have won $1700.
However, if you score less than 60,000 it doesn't say if I was playing quarters I'd have lost X amount. Most of my scores fall in the 56-60K zone so Id be losing money if it were real life.
It just strikes me that if it is going to say what a person wins, it should say what they would have lost, as well.
Carry on.

I agree with the OP it would be useful to know how much is loss in a contest session. I stick to single hand quarters since playing anything higher makes me uncomfortable.

The best way to do this would be to emulate Video Poker for Winners. It's the only software I have seen that allows you to play in actual money denominations instead of credits. Very useful when you are attempting to see your bankroll fluctuations on a daily basis.  I'm sure this would be a huge investment on the part of this website and would probably not pay off in membership fees.  VPW is the one thing with the Dancer name on it that I absolutely couldn't do without.  Good stuff...

It may be useful, but the site isn't getting paid to remind player that they are expected to lose in the casino.

It's not exactly rocket science to figure it out if you really want to know.

Hmmmm - a win loss statement at the end of the year... That would be interesting...

Not too difficult to connect the dots on this one. But I agree, if showing the wins, also show the losses.
Cheers
