Re: 4 to the Royal 3 times?????

I had an interesting "double flip" happen not once, but TWICE in a single session recently.  On two dealt 3oak's I picked up the two dropped cards on the draw, in different suits, in the same hand positions.  TWICE.  Pretty long odds against that.  But as you say, it's inevitable on machines operating randomly that you'll hear stories of plays like that.
 
Now if it happened 40% of the time that would be different. 


 
I had a real unusual double flip one time. I was dealt 3 for a RF in hearts and two jacks. However, in my game the JH and JS are wild and I was dealt the JC and JD. So, I threw them away and drew the two wild jacks for 1000 credits (it was a quarter game).
 
I've had triple flips a few times too, but probably don't notice it most of the time when it happens.  
 
I must be off the email list now since I haven't gotten anything from falala lately. How will I ever survive without getting those good laughs every month or two.

I was out playing ddb today. The 4's kept messin with me. Get 3 dealt, or two and pick up third, etc......the whole session. I thought for one moment that, "They gotta hit". The truth is, they dont have to hit but you know how it is, it messes with your head. Ive seen some crazy stuff happen on a roulette wheel before. Roulette can be slighty bias in rare cases but it would require a large bankroll.

Me too. 
 
I'm thinking that perhaps the VP machine testing setup in his garage isn't shielded too well, and the EM field from that might have corrupted his address list.  So keep your chin up, Eduardo, the exclusion may be due to technical reasons, not personal ones.
