What is the probability of.......

My back trouble is due mostly to arthritis. It was originally diagnosed as spinal stenosis and some surgeon wanted to work on me.  I said no thanks to that option.   You never want to have anyone cut on your back.  It practically never works out and just makes things worse.Video poker is one recreational activity you can do even if they have to wheel you in the casino to play.   I really enjoy playing the games.  As everyone knows, I don't have much faith in using math to predict the unpredictable.   Funny how we humans think we are in control of random events.  When primitive man first did a dance to make it rain and it did, the first "Expert" was born.

I have friends that had back surgery multiple times too and now they are worse than ever. I agree there Phil. If you haven't already, try some of the homeopathic remedies. My sister who lives in Sonoma is a quasi expert on that stuff and they have helped my brother in law immensely. Glucosamine comes to mind but it has mixed reviews. May be worth checking out and good luck.

My back problems have actually improved in the last few years.   I gave up thinking it was over for me. I started moving around and learned what I can do and can't do.  If you believe you are old, you will become so.  It was a good lesson to learn.

Funny how we humans think we are in control of random events. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Man makes plans, God laughs.I ventured to Harrah's today, casually assuming a quick $100 drop in side trip and pot shots galore at the $4,000 RF. Well, +$69 there, and ninety minutes in the making. So long lunch and TV. Without my $125 quad, I was toast.

I hit 4 Deuces @ .50 TWICE within about 10 hands in Murphy NC @ Harrah's Valley River a month or so ago. Had another one Friday night in a quick visit. For all the griping, if one shops around that floor, there are a few decent pay tables to be had. Generally, the paytables are pretty much suck, and its understood that my stupefying good fortune is unrelated.

Congratulations. That is astounding luck. Your winnings may cover a year of my trips.
