		No One I Know Of Or Heard Of Has Ever Done This Before
	
	
		Recently Cindy & I decided to go up to SF to see the Red Sox play 2 games at AT&T Park this week, so we put our travel plans to S. Dakota and other destinations on hold until next week. Good move.
We drove straight up there, but on the way back (yesterday) I booked a night at South Point to get a break and some rest before going back to Az. Good idea.
We went to dinner at their surprisingly good Mexican restaurant--Baja Miguels--which I of course haven't been to yet. It seems they've opened in the past 5 years, and I don't believe I've been in the casino during that time. Afterwards, Cindy wanted to get upstairs to refresh and sleep, so I decided to play some and sit at the far right machine at the bar at the base of the mezzanine stairway (Miguels is on the 2nd floor there) nearby the main casino floor restaurants, to play some ARTT 25c thru $2 (remember I said $2 was my limit from now on?). And because I play very seldom these days--once every 3 months, if that) I had no win limit, and my loss limit was the amount of cash left in my wallet (about $1600). The other limiter was time--I did not want to play more than 2 hours. But a machine in a hot cycle will--and should--change that when there's no win limit.
I began right around 6:30. At 7pm I hit a sequential Royal For $8000 on DDBP. drawing the 10 in spot #1. It took a long 20 minutes to get paid. No tip of course. About 9pm I hit another 1-card draw for a royal, again in spades. Same game within the ARTT strategy--$2 DDBP (9/6 version for all you Advantage-Playing teeny weeny % worriers out there). The bartender and a lot of patrons began taking notice as they watched the two handpays. I watched the Sharks beat down the Penguins. Again no tip, but the pay came within 10 minutes.
I think less than 20 minutes later on my 3rd game of ARTT the same game ($2 DDBP) served up four Aces with a 4 kicker for $4000 more. Now people in the crowd started coming over to chat some. Remember, I'm not simply playing $2 DDBP only. I'm playing 25c thru $2 BP first, then I go onto $2 DDBP if I fail to attain at least an overall $100 profit in the BP portion of the strategy. This time the handpay took a bit longer, because a suit came out to talk to me. I was going to quit right then and there, but he "motivated" me to play one more ARTT session. And of course, this one ended with $2 Royal #3 for the evening. This time I chose to switch over to DBP (9/7/5), but it didn't matter. Same result. 
After the final handpay, I talked with some others who had a bunch of comments and questions. No one here will like this, but 2 of them came by and said I had to be the greatest vp player of all time. I told them I was. One of them asked me if I was Dancer. When I told him who I was he said he was only joking. 
I'm not endorsing playing DDBP UNLESS it's the only game available, because SDBP and TBP+ are far superior games. Oh I almost forgot: I can thank my good friend Spock for all this. I actually followed thru on his post about the free night at SP, since I get so few offers from LV any more due to a lack of play for the better part of 5 years. (Dan, fear not--they did not charge me the $14 resort fee with the comp). My final tally was a net profit of over $25,000. The wins totally destroyed my reasoning for not playing higher than $2 any more. But I should have known better. After all, I AM the best player ever.
This all happened within a span of about 3.5 to 4 hours. I can see the time stamps on my pictures WHICH I TOOK WITH AN HTC ONE AND NOT MY OLD DIGITAL CAMERA this time, but I'm sure the whiners will still try to make it look like this never happened. Either way, it was a great night after a great trip to SF for 4 days.
