Bizarro World 2024!

That’s the next game plan. Probably no big rewards, but maybe avoid the huge bankroll drain and just chill. Also maybe slow down the play a bit. T least I was able to offset some market gains this year by dumping Disney. I can always buy it back in a month to avoid the wash sale rules. I also screwed up by not buying ViSA last July. O well. Todays plan is to head up in a few hours, play a bit, and use some lose or lose food credits. Looks like the weather will keep it a bit above freezing around here.

Oh yes, that reminds me. My CET TCs stay put as long as I keep adding to them at least every six months. I should plan to target an extravagant blowout meal after every +$500 day. I may have a long wait of course.

Solo trip last night. One nice hit, but I succumbed to the “ Discipline “ virus. It’s supposed to last only a week or two, but it seems to just keep “ hanging on “. I think in part due to stubbornness on the Royalless streak. By the way, 362,000 hands and counting. Play was a combo of all my usual games. 1-9 lines depending. Most of the play was at a much smaller bet level. Didn’t seem to matter in the end. I think I set another record or close to one. 41 9/6 JOB hands without 2 pair or better. I switched to regular Deuces Wild and of course the first single line deal was a quad without the Deuces. ( same machine ).

Sounds like another frustrating and unsuccessful trip. Hang in there Olds. Hopefully, better times are ahead.

Thanks Bill. One last 2024 trip is planned for Monday evening. A small one. Best to not end the year even more frustrated. I always fall back on the old saying. If you have your health, you have everything.

I think you mean reward credits (RC), not tier credits (TC).

I thought it was: if you are Jeff Bezos, you have everything?

Good luck olds. And to the Mrs. as well if she tags along.

Agree, health is the most important thing we can have.

Well I was determined to not be a loser on the last trip of 2024, so I found a very old 3 cent Spin Poker game and my favorite game inside…. Bonus Deuces Wild. Aside from the terrible paytable, this is a great machine for my Martingale Clone method of playing because you can choose from one to 20 lines and if needed move up to a 5,10, or 20 cent game on the same machine. Luck came early. Plus 22 bucks and I only held one Deuce. Back home for awhile and off the roads for the night. Happy New Year everyone. The Mrs and I may venture up tomorrow evening.
