Nice Article Of VP Strategy And How It Works!

If I sold both my houses the proceeds would pay the same rent as yours for 25 to 30 years and it sounds like I would live much better.

Exactly. If I bought a house, I won't have half as nice a pool, no gym, no clubhouse and have to take care of maintaining it myself.
Not having a mortgage means no tax deduction and I can do much better with the money then sinking it into a house. This is Vegas where houses boom and bust but always seem to settle back into about the same range.

Billy, I could care less about your lack of real estate prowess, where you live or your dog. You need to stop trying to tell people on this forum how to play video poker with their own money.  You shoot off at the the mouth then cry foul when someone kicks you back in return.  Mind your own business and play the way you want.  When you're paying all our bills, you can tell us how to spend our own money.  Gambling is a long term loser.  If you want to spend the rest of your life renting an apartment, fine.  If you want to create some real wealth, do something productive with your life instead of trying to make extra money playing with quarters.

Playing single coin accomplishes what I want it to. 
It allows me to play longer while holding my losses to a minimum.
I rarely play single coin anymore.  Not
because I think I'm giving up anything, but I enjoy hitting max coin
royals and don''t mind paying a little extra if necessarily
(sic). Same author. Same thread. Same post.  No other words between the two quotes.  Good advice not to take this seriously.

Now Holon a goshdern minit! I wanna no how someone whos suposta be "New2vp" gets ta be a Video Poker Master. This site is rigged I tell ya.

Hey paco.  The answer?  Being here since 2005 and making lots of posts.  The moniker is shared by many, regardless of quality of writing.  I guess it is better than "Kompulsive Keyboarder," though perhaps not as accurate.  When I chose the name, I was new to video poker (though not new to math and statistics*) and there were no casinos nearby.  A lot has changed over the years.*I hesitate to admit this here since some seem to think that math is a handicap rather than an aid to understanding gambling games like these.Thanks for the needle.

Just curious. Does lying come naturally to you or do you have to work at it? You pick and choose things I write, then don't even have the fortitude to tell the truth about them. Sad. You should get to a meeting. It's not too late. Just take it one day at a time.

You play max coin quarter DDB until your money is gone.  You never hit a quad and you're out of there in 40 minutes.  You lost $100.I walk into the casino with the same $100.  I play single coin quarter DDB.  In the first 40 minutes I also don't hit a quad but I have $70 left.  In the next 10 minutes I hit 4 quads in a row, get all my money back and switch to max coins.  On the next hand I hit a royal for $1,000.  Crazy I know, but you busted and I didn't.  What works better?

And there we have the last pearl of wisdom from Phil Fa La La La La.... La la la la. Sad part is he actually thinks this makes sense.

OK, lets try another one. Same scenario different day.  You walk into the casino with your second $100.  You play max coin quarters and again you never hit a quad and you're busted in 40 minutes.  This time you hit the ATM for another hundred and again you don't hit a quad.  Finally, you do this a third time and now you're down $300 for the day when you slink off and go home.At the end of the day I'm still playing single coin because I can play 5 times longer with the same money.Anyone who thinks the first option is better would probably think renting an apartment is better than owning an investment.  Brilliant!!

See if you can determine why I'm asking others and not you.
