Bad days happen too

Post by Carcounter »



Last trip to Borgata, played 4-5 hours on .50 Super Double Bonus. 2 quads all session. Lost $900. Getting up the courage to go down again.

Getting up the courage to go down again.Even though it is Borgata, it is also AC, and you never ever really know.....you may have been playing during a scheduled dud cycle whereby the casino can safely have its machines spitting out mostly duds....its been known to happen.I urge you to save your money and energy and just go to Vegas.

The "good" cycle has been in effect the last 2 weeks for me and a few of the other regulars at Harrahs. Last week caught a $1000 Royal on Dream Card, this past week caught a $ 2500 Royal on Pic a Pair. Real good friend hit a hand pay on 100 hand QQs upped her play to .10c TDB and was dealt deuces with a kicker for a cool $20,000. We will see what this week brings.

Devastating session, Car. How many machines did you play? SDB is mid 30s variance I believe. Too variable for me.

The dud cycle phenomenon is certainly real. I just can't pinpoint how extensive it is. Casino Wide DC seems preposterous on its face. Would love some feedback. And did DB even mean casino wide or just pertaining to the DC machine? Maybe I misinterpret.
