Why did you win?

Good point, mightwin, with the classes and attitude! ty.

Play positive games with optimal strategy ... and find the most comfortable machine that meets that criteria. Stated another way, because we were expected to.

[QUOTE=mightwin]Here's another question for everyone. I know I do this.   If I'm walking by and someone is hopping up and down and screaming about their win - I have to look to see what they won.  Quite often, it's under $5 and the winner is acting like it's a million dollars.  I smile to myself and keep walking. The question is - if you see someone winning - do you look to see what they've won?  Absolutely!  Can't help it.  But not someone jumping around,  just hearing a penny machine just keeps ringing up those 1 cent credits foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I sometimes ask the player how much they think they won.

Ive always found that a good rule of thumb in casinos is to mind your own business. Most people hooting over a winner are probably losing anyway. I know when my machine is tooting out a winning tune, there's always some who come over to ask me or tell me something, and Im in a wheel chair. It doesnt seem to occur to them that I may be a winning loser, which I usually am, and I have no desire to chit-chat.  MYOB!!!!

QUOTE=mightwin]I wanted to dust this topic off.  in part:  The luckiest hand you can get is a dealt royal on the first or second deal.  In that event, all the math, paytable, bankroll knowledge doesn't factor in - the only thing I can say is that it was an incredible amount of luck at that moment.   Disagree.  You can't get dealt a royal on second deal unless you throw everything away.SO, the luckiest royal would involve how bad an error you made in not keeping the right cards. Say you discarded 4 deuces with a kicker, or the more EV you discarded above the value of the redraw. Yes, it's a silly point, but I'm silly.

Absolutly.

JM002456 - I meant put money in, push the button it deals cards (first deal).  Put more money in, push the deal button (second deal).  Two separate hands.
