Martingale coupled with Jacks 9/6

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

i certainly doubt the IGT machines in atlantic city will treat me any more fair with real money in play theres no way i can time it correctly without knowing the future, and that series of wins/losses will always be different randomized like tickets in a hat, thats why martingale is so powerful but if it continues to guess wrong you will lose every penny you havePhil i strongly recommend you move to vegas and play them Full pay deuces wildif not take up card counting and win in theory 5$ an hour at the blackjack tablesuntil then we are just donating our income to the house

In all  the years I have been on this forum, that was the most complete and understandable answer I have been given.  Thank you for clearing this issue up for me. Thanks. I appreciate that.Note that I updated the final bullet in my post (the one for 16xN0). I had underestimated the already-high odds of your player being a winner for that case.

[quote=steve96a1]Phil i strongly recommend you move to vegas and play them Full pay deuces wild[/quote]Thanks for the suggestion.   If video poker was the main driving force in my life, I would consider it.  It's not even close.   To me, video poker is a game I play to be entertained.   Like "Candy Crush" for money.  I enjoy playing on this website and talking with other players.   Playing in the casino is something I do to get away from the house for a day and have lunch with my wife.   I know this is hard for some members of this forum to understand, but I don't care that much for gambling.  It's never brought me anything but pain, so I take it in small doses.

Would these be the same east coast casinos that tabbed you as a card counter and gave you the kiss off? Were you trying to hatch a plan to get even with them by playing video poker in these same casinos? Just asking.

I never went in with a 1k roll or 2k roll. Table min being 15.my edge would be so tiny variance wipe my br roll out and id choose not to risk 3800 or 5k right now. I tried vp because so many have had long term success on 9/6 jacks but taking 80hr or 8 trips to ceasars ac just not worth it with my show winning not beating but winning can take a year or more to what? Win 4700 credits if im lucky? 5hr round trip to ac no ty

I understand gambling . Gambling with an edge and playing games with a negative EV now then i did 5 or 10 years ago. Just because i lost ten max bets in bj doesnt mean its a negative game just means variance takes over more than not. Progressive jacks 9/6 seems more attractive on a poor mans bankroll but even then it can takr 7-10 trips to win that royal. First i need an edge 2nd a bankroll without either gambling for me is not worth my time to donate to ten owners to one property for what so my income make the rich more rich
