i retract my statement about 97% DW

[Eduardo]

I for one have no problem with people playing negative games. Those are the only games available most places. I really don't think that is what people object to.

Back to the original question, " i just asked is is being ahead 730$ on a particular game is losing?? "

I'm really not sure what kind of response you were going for. It's a winning session based on the fact that you are ahead. I think that's why people assumed you must be implying something more. Because the question itself doesn't make sense, other than the obvious. You are ahead, but it's a losing strategy. Where is the disagreement?

i do NOT believe being ahead 730$ is losing period in any form of gambling only if its that game you played from start to finish no its winning game until you lose

with same concept why dont the lottery winners are losers after they won they're jackpots?
or the lady who won 2mil from wheel fortune in ac?
are they ahead of a 97% game? its the same idea id rather be 700k ahead on a 97% game than 700$
or just win the lottery like so many do (compared to billions that dont)

so yes i believe if you able to play roulette, baccarat or blackjack 1 bet and win and never play again in your enitre life is winner and no harm done to your bank account or wallet

now am i saying this is how it goes? am i saying will everyone be a winner? no but its possible just not likely

[Eduardo]

Sorry, what is the question again?

[stevel96a1]

he said i was a loser for being ahead 730$ from a 97% game
i dunno is bart hanson a loser being ahead 250k$ from a 99% game? i think he brings 8k bankroll with him
and was his 2nd or third outting.

thats what he said i was a loser from ending my game a winner

[Eduardo]

You are a winner, stevel96a1. Not a loser. Don't you let anyone ever tell you different!

[Tedlark]

WINNING!!!!!

[stevel96a1]

Thanks, i guess Bart has more common sense to post his trips on videopoker.com

i would love to hear you all talk down to him from winning a whoopin 250k$ cash from bonus poker.


some of you just make no sense whats so ever

[Jstark]

You, nor I dont know if he is ahead or behind lifetime. Lifetime is all that matters.

[stevel96a1]

so if he decided to retire from video poker ahead on a non 100% game (ahead of cash not comps) is he a loser? is he stupid? did he make a poor decision?

enough said your just that guy who looks angry when someone else hits a royal...

[billryan]

If he retires, he isn't playing a losing game is he? Did he make a dumb decision to stop playing bad games?
Losing money doesn't make one a loser in life anymore than a fluke win makes one a winner.
Individual session results are meaningless. Record the results of 1,000 sessions and you will begin to see patterns. After that many sessions, the person who plays the 99.5 game will be well ahead of the person who plays 97.0 games.
If a person walks into a casino, wins a bet and leaves, he is a lifetime winner. Good things will follow him, woman will want him, men will want to be him, right?
If your point is anyone can get lucky, we agree. If you think the right thing to do is quit so you go out a winner, I think it's a great idea. If you think adding the winnings to your bankroll is for you, go for it.
Your long term results will be what they are. If you want to pay five dollars an hour to play a game you can't win, good for you. Riding the bus back and forth on the Chinatown bus grind is more profitable.
