2025 debut

Post by TripleTriple »

Figured I should go and cash my Super Bowl ticket before I lose it or worse, so I headed down to Harrahs Wednesday for the first trip of the year. Checked in at VIP, got my new players cards and went to the sportsbook. Thought I was getting a W2-G, but they paid me out all cash- Go Birds! Declined a Phillies futures bet- for now. Swiped for a 5x TC promo and was on my way.

Up and down, no hand pays but a couple dealt quads and a late kicker hand preserved the bankroll in a modest win. Headed out around 04:30 to beat the morning rush. "Mrs and I on tap for next month..."

Dealt straight: 14
Dealt flush: 8
Dealt boat: 6
4oak: 6d,4,6,10,Jd, 3w4
4RF: 2
Kickers: 1
2065 TC

I don't know why, but sanity prevailed when they established the rules for sports bets. I think the threshold is 300x your bet amount. I've had a few wins above $1200 on US-regulated sports apps, and never a tacky form.

I'm considering transitioning to all sports bets but I'm leery on account of my horrendous record.
As stressful as VP is, I find sports betting to be more intense- probably because much more is riding on a single outcome.

Perfect! You're less likely to be limited if you lose 8-) .

All of my big payoffs were arbed. I'm adept at taking the fun out of things.

Really good workmanlike trip. Many objectives achieved. Do you play the end machines on the last bank, extreme right? I play the middle and opposite end machines. I’ve had the same luck. Vanilla BR preservation affairs.
