[quote=FAA]VP for the Disadvantaged.[/quote]That would include me and anyone else who will admit it.   What we need is VP strategy we can use instead of stories from the year 2000!  The players in the high limit room are pretty lonely these days.

Yeah. I notice maybe six high limit room VP players on a weekend afternoon. Many dormant machines. And they would reap better odds merely by walking twenty five yards.

If anyone wants to read books like Phil is looking for, and evidently doesn't know exist, pick up any of Jean Scotts books. Just don't be disappointed when she doesn't recommend playing single coins.



I will have to STRONGLY agree that books by Mrs. $¢ott is better suited for FP. In fact, FP is looking for a recent book and Mrs. $¢ott recently published one this year based on recent conditions.

Title: The Frugal Gambler Casino Guide (2017)

ISBN-10: 1944877134
ISBN-13: 978-1944877132

Synopsis: The Frugal Gambler Casino Guide both updates and backdates The Frugal Gambler and More Frugal Gambling by covering, in comprehensive detail, the state-of-the-art techniques of casino gambling for low-rollers and the concepts on which frugal gambling is built: how to lose less and play longer.

I would not mind what kind of rants that will come out of it.

[quote=alpax]I will have to STRONGLY agree that books by Mrs. $¢ott is better suited for FP.[/quote]I appreciate the tip.  I'll check it out.  I have a pile of Dancer books.  In fact, I may have all of them.  Over the years I've bought three copies of his software as well.   I think small time players can benefit from reading them as long as he/she keeps their own bankroll, skills and limitations in mind.How to lose less and play longer. 
Sounds perfect to me!

by walking twenty five yards.[/quote]I always check out the high limit room just to see what's being offered.  Much of the time the odds on the big machines aren't as good as some on the floor.   I've actually seen 7/5 Jacks or Better on $10 machines in Biloxi!   I can't imagine what comps they could give me to play that game.  (Actually I could, but this is a family show!)  I guess some people just want the thrill of a big jackpot no matter what it costs.  You guys that believe cheap players are paying your bills, should love them!

Good place to have a drink in peace. Clubby cage and facilities. They're really paying for the atmosphere, upon reflection.

High limit rooms were never about offering better games. They exist to stroke people's egos, and to offer better service to people playing machines that require more frequent
W-2s.
Walk into my local HLR and you are immediately greeted and offered a drink.
While they offer dozens of 9-6 games in steerage, in this room they mix 9-6 with 8-6 and 9-5.

Every high limit room is different. Some offer better games on the floor and some do not. I end up playing in the high limit room only for a few hours in most places because it happens to have better choices, but have never received service that was worth mentioning.

The player has to have a mindset to adapt to many different things. Judging what a high limit room is like based on a single experience can lead to players missing out on good playing opportunities in front of them.

My HLR doesn't even make a 9/6 gesture. Soak the rich, CET style. The Masters.
