I’m sure everyone has they’re go to game. But what is your preferred game of choice when you need to mix it up and try your skills to turn around the night or break a slump?
My preferred game is BJ but when I feel like I need a change of pace or that I am burned out on BJ I always tend to gravitate towards baccarat.
And I know that it doesn’t always make sense but most gamblers are supersitious and I am sure many members have a story to tell.
Hey Gus don't you know this is an AP dominated forum?
I was hoping the APs would bless me by showing me the error in my ways
Hi Gus, the concept of "night" has no meaning for me - or rather my own definition of "night" is one continuous lifelong session. As such, I turn my "night" around by playing only machines left in an advantageous state by casino philanthropists without exception and irrespective of previous results.
cheers, TP.
If you need to break a slump, whatever that is, I suggest following the advice of a great man:
"I hate to recommend drugs and alcohol for everyone, but it's worked for me." -- Hunter S. Thompson
You were hoping wrong. The "AP's" here all win....mickeycrimm even wins every day he plays. They all appear in anonymous form as well, just so there's no misunderstanding about their prowess. You either take their word for it or the insults will come your way. So when tableplay asserts "night has no meaning to me" he's giving you a chance to take back your denigration of the sacred ap's around here because slumps just don't happen to these expert grinders.Quote:

Good luck....because good skill alone is not enough.

Well, this may be a Robocchio moment. I leave that to others to decide.
To the extent that I'm an AP, "Rob" was completely wrong in his post above. Historically, I lose about once every six to seven years. I have losing months all of the time. I won the first six weeks this season, then lost three weeks in a row, including one where I got whomped. I then eked out a profit each week since then, but nothing wowza. So I lost in October.
I actually lost six Wise Guys Contest games in a row this season, the first time in 30 years that has ever happened.
I find it very odd, and maybe another echo of projection, that someone who emphasizes the percent of sessions won, which matters not at all to anything, would go after APs for allegedly claiming that they win all of the time. Basically, the thrust of Argentino's video poker claim to fame is that he "wins all the time." Go ahead -- check those 7000 posts. Find some where he says he lost or took a beating.
It must be a projection thing. The video poker player who never reports losing criticizes APs for not reporting when they lose. Very psychotic stuff.
Not so much a Robocchio moment. Pretty much 60 being Sixty.
Redietz, Rob has admitted to losing $57,000+ twice using his system.
Well, that's a revelation. I've never read the post where he admits that he lost 57K twice. Has he actually put that admission into a post here?
I gotta ask -- Rob, is this true? Did you lose 57K twice?
That'll scare away a lot of riff raff.
Touché!Quote:

I'm sure Rob will see this and comment. I recall him saying he lost $57,000 twice in his years as a professional.
Probably the fifth time I've posted this here after it being on my site and in Gaming Today.
My largest ever loss was $33k. Next largest was $11k. To lose then entire $57k session bankroll would mean losing 2400 credits without ever having a single 40-credit soft profit cash out. Virtually impossible.
I stand corrected.Quote:

I've always reported losing when it happened--which was about 15% of my sessions--when I wrote my column in GT and kept a weekly cumulative log on my site.
If you're talking about here, I've only posted jackpot pictures of $100k, $50k, $50k, and the $25k net from four jackpots at SP. Although I seldom get to play these days since I retired from being a professional gambler, there's been a few losses and none larger than $2800. But name one poster here who gives ongoing results from their play....REAL play...not the internet forum fantasy a phony attention and relevance-seeker like kew makes up.

Well, off the top of my head, thousands of people saw me lose six consecutive Wise Guys Contest games, so I guess I would say me.
We guys who win love to rant about how bad it was when we lost. I think kewlJ may have quietly mentioned dropping 29K? Did I ever tell you about the time I had this Houston Oilers team at 30-1 to win the AFC? They were in this playoff game against this Buffalo Bills team. Jim Kelly was injured. Some guy named Reich was playing QB for the Bills; I vaguely remembered him from his Maryland days....
Lol. I sort of remember that guy. I had the 49ers in "The Catch" game in 1982 vs Cowboys. We were jumping up and down like crazy. I think it was my first $100 bet. But what most people don't recall was the pass to Drew Pearson and the game saving tackle. I do, because I'll never forget the lip quivering on my buddies face.Quote:

Trouble is, I called a friend who went through a bookie and said he didn't get the bets down. That same year there was a computer programmer at our company. He said he could input data and pick the NFL winners like it was magic. Being a kid, I followed his computer all the through the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl. Went 0 for 11. Of course, he got everyone of those damn bets down. A 19 game turnaround. Ok, I'm sick now.
Mark Grace used to say that whenever he was in a big slump, he would find the fattest, ugliest chick he could, and then have sex with her.
He claimed that would break his slumps, and referred to it as a "slump buster".
I wonder if LA Gus knew of that reference.
In other words, Robocchio is a degenerate gambler. He's very fond of the marty.Quote:

NO, he reported his biggest loss at 33K. Remember? Soft Profits?Quote:

Sure will
Lead by example. Don't demand proof if you can't put up proof.Quote:
