    Interesting that you said that. I always use winners to move up to higher denominations. I disagree with Rob who says to move down. Frankly winning $100 with AAAA was not a day-ending win... but had I won $1,000 (royal) on that $30 of free play I would have quit for the day.
    The reason I say to move down is because casinos make lots of their profits from players who are suddenly overconfident and feel they can get an even bigger thrill by doing it again on a higher denomination. It is never wrong to be satisfied with a profit off of free play or anything else.

    I'm just surprised no one has said it so I will. You've posted many times how you go into RR to get your small amount of free play and leave with whatever profit you get from running it thru once. Is that really true? I ask because I'm someone who actually does that, and it takes gobs of discipline.
    Rob, I hit the AAAA on my first $30 of free play. After that I used rising stop loss. I decided I would leave with a minimum of $30 and as I continued to play and gained wins with various Quads my rising stop loss increased. I continued to play even after hitting the royal but a different game but still at $1, and still using a rising stop loss. See the photo below.

    Yesterday at Suncoast I had $10 of free play, ran it thru once and cashed out $12.50 and had a free lunch buffet and picked up a free mini pie from Du-pars.

    Using that rising stop loss that you've used for years is certainly better than people like ap's and other fanatics and frenzied players who just play right thru royals and other big winners. That's why playing my SPS strategy was so consistently successful. You hit a small mini win goal, you go down in denom. until all those profits along with/or a larger hit attains the $2500 session win goal or greater. Then when you return for another session it's at the lowest of the six denominations. And the results were almost exactly the same whether or not I played + or - EV games....and I NEVER incorporated any of the slot club benefits into my results.

    However, I'm sure the majority of players here can admit--when they hit royals they either have a difficult time staying out of, or they rush right into, the high limit rooms, when they know they should just go home and reset.

    Can I ask you a serious question without all the insults and whatnot? If not, I will assume you don't have a legitimate answer.

    Lets assume Alan or whomever is going to play the same number of hands/plays in their lifetime and denominations regardless. Assuming they are not fatigue and playing their best. Why does it matter if they play today, tomorrow, next week, next month? Is there some magic thing that happens when you quit for the day? Obviously playing less on -EV games is always better for financial reasons. But, quitting while you are ahead just seems to delay the inevitable. Since Alan and others play for entertainment, and to feed their addiction(but lets put the addition part aside for now) if they quit for the day that just stops their entertainment for the day. I won't argue that being up might put them in a good mood and bring them happiness for the rest of the day, there might be some personal value in that. But who's to say they wouldn't have won even more had they stayed and been even happier?

  7. #3187
    First I WILL address the addiction issue. You ap's like to assert that Alan has an addiction--and I don't really disagree. Yet you folks regularly deny that playing in the manner you do--which is more often and for longer hours than he plays--that you have any kind of a gambling problem whatsoever. That undeniably is disingenuous.

    As far as whether the next session is played immediately, next week, or next year....once you eliminate any fatigue factor, there's no difference whatsoever. In my particular case and with my particular strategy, it has always been about being satisfied with winning a certain amount ($2500 minimum), not NEEDING or CARING about winning any more than that in any given week, enjoying the 300 mile drive home knowing that I'm ahead of the Nevada casinos, and continuing to be satisfied with that as I spend time with my family---time I was severely lacking and still would be, had I stayed on working my job that had me constantly travelling the world. I have the special skillset (extreme discipline, intelligence, and extraordinary determination) it takes to be able to be successful vs. the math edge of the casinos--which as you know, is very slight when it comes to VP.

    As you can see, this is a very different overall scenario than that of just about anyone else who chooses to become aprofessional gambler. But doesn't every PG have a unique story?

    You should know this from being a vp player. Sure anyone can win more and bigger if they just keep playing after hitting something big. But they overwhelmingly will not. When I hit the 3 royals and four A's w/kicker on that $2 single line machine in the Silverado Bar at SP, I went in intending to play 4 sessions of ARTT strategy, with a win goal of $100/session. I far surpassed that each session obviously, but I did quit when I completed my 4th session. Yes I could have played another and another and hit several more $100 minimum win goals or even royals. But what's the point if I'm not doing what I said I was going to do? And that's what separates me from every other gambler.

    Of course we're going to have our differences on my playing only short term sessions, and most everyone else believing all play is combined into some indescribable long term, while -EV means you lose and +EV means you win. But the latter is not how an intelligent gambler engages the game if they expect to win. The mind is more capable than any computer, and to say the math computer knows all is a big mistake.

    You could have gotten a local job if you were tired of traveling the world. But what separates you from us is your ability to hit so many big hands in such a short period of time. It defies the odds but that is your special gift. Anyone with that gift can beat the hell out of video poker no matter what tactics they employ and/or payscales they play.

    This weekend I had the biggest win I ever had at craps where there was not a "fire bet" or "All Tall Small" hit. In fact the table did not have any bonus bets as an option, but given one hot shooter, I believe a bonus bet would have been hit.

    I bought in for $500 at Main Street Station in Downtown Vegas. Unlike other Boyd casinos, Main Street has 20 times odds on craps. It had a $5 min. I lost a few bucks on a couple of shooters, including myself, then the shooter to my immediate right went on a heater. I started with a $5 pass line and comes with between $25 to $50 odds, then graduated to $75-$100 odds. I also hit few hard 10's and 4's. The guy rolled for at least 40 minutes and while I did not count the rolls, the shooter did not hesitate as soon as he got the dice. Oddly, there were pretty much only three players on the table until the last 10 minutes. Maybe because we were not yelling an screaming, just collecting our money after each roll. So we were not garnering much attention that afternoon.

    The boxman did complain three times about the shooter not hitting the wall with both dice but the shooter was at the opposite side and those were looooong tables and I did not see any attempt to influence the dice or even set them on a particular number.

    He hit a bunch of 6, 8 and nines on the passline along with a few 10s. I really like the 20 times odds so I keep pressing the odds without having to augment my pass line and come bets.

    When he was done, the hot shooter colored out. I lost about $100 on the next two shooters then colored out myself. Here is the result of a net $1380 or so in profit (even after tips). When i went to the casino cage they had to make the phone call and I waited a minute before they got the "go ahead" to pay me.

    Thanks to this roll, I made a nice profit that trip.

    I was staying at the Fremont and wondered why craps shooters at the Fremont and California casinos play there given that the odds were limited to double odds at a time when another Boyds casino within walking distance had 20 times odds.

    I was chasing a must hit jackpot a couple weeks ago. The mini was $500 and close enough for me to play, the major was $10k and very close to reset at $9025ish. I was playing for a while and the progressive graphic came up, wouldn’t you know it was the $9k. I hit the $500 3 spins later. A week later I was back at the same casino and the $500 minor was close again, the major was at $9145ish on the same machine. I sat down and started playing, wouldn’t you know it the $9k hit before the $500 again. $18k in 8 days on the exact same machine!

    That's getting outhouse lucky but it's part of the play. I'll take 'em if I can get 'em.

    It’s insanely lucky. There are a lot of factors that affect the probability but I reckon it’s about 300/1 against hitting the major during a good minor play. Hitting it on back to back plays is much higher....

    This is Barney,

    I had a nice win on a slut machine device two weeks ago at a resort casino that had a most greatest bubbling swimming pool in the bathroom. By looking at the slopes, the ins and out of the coinage, and reel probabilities I determined it was in most favorable position to put out. After giving LID his taste of the winnings at 85% and me spending a large portion of my 15% on the casino chicks I will try to provide any remaining winnings (about 44 cents) to each forum member on this site who provided valuable slut machine device advice.

    Congratulations bigfoot. I have never seen that type of machine before but I am glad your timing was about perfect!

    Do you recall how much money you had to put in before the hits?

    Nice hits Bigfoot.

    I was eyeing an Ainsworth at my local. For a few days it was in the $9670 range, but watching another lady play the meter was only moving 1 cent per $10 pull - most of those spins resulted in nothing. But, it seems like the Ainsworth majors are more "random" than some of the other slot makers.

    I passed.

    They do seem actually random. You were smart to pass.

    I didn’t play long either time. Maybe 15 mins. I was down less than $1000 each time and most likely less that $500. The $9k win overwhelmed the memory. Lol
