Losing Streak!

Post by FloridaPhil »

I had a great run earlier this year, but a losing streak is on me big time now. My last three trips have been horrible.  Doesn't matter what I play; DDB for hours without a quad, switch to deuces and draw 4 aces... the list goes on.   
The good news is that much of my big win is still intact.  Wonder how long this one will last?

No better at the casinos in S. California. I've taken a break from gambling for a while. If I get the urge, I just log on here. Much cheaper!

We're going on a Colorado/New Mexico VP trip next month.  Think I'll take a break from the Hard Rock for a while.  Maybe the bad luck will wash out by then...

Join the crew, same here I used to go and get AWAK or the little ones at least once every trip. Now it takes about 5 trips to get an 800 or 2000. Unless of course I am on deuces then AWAK are dime a dozen. Also I average 1 Royal per month its been 5 now without one. Try playing slots I bet you come out better.

It does seem that 4AWKs come up much more often in Deuces. I guess it's probably because we are holding the deuces.  Still aggravating none the less...

FloridaPhil, I understand completely how you feel. It is easier to recollect the seemingly endless losing streaks and forget about the winning streaks.
In 2013, I was positive I was on a never ending losing streak. No matter what I played, be it blackjack, or my preferred game, Deuces Wild Bonus . . . I lost.
So far this year, I have had reasonably good luck, but that's gambling . . .

I switched to single coin quarter play and I am back in the money and never going back.  (maybe...)

Hee hee, never say never! I have switched up the denominations on my games, and have regularly "gone back."
