And you haven't stopped mentioning it since you started...so yes you are just like your jackass pal.Originally Posted by redietz
You have thanked me many times for giving you opportunity to mention this stuff.
Whatever gets you through the night...it's all right...it's all right.
You're welcome, ditz.

Why? Can I ask you to do it now? If not, why not?
He's obviously been mentored by that one-armed retard...the guy who posted that he finished 47th in a horse-handicapping contest.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
When somebody found the results online, the 47th placer was a woman.
Ditz pointed out that he never bragged about his own handicapping accomplishments until the Texas jackass showed up here and inspired him.
He's just trying to emulate his BFF.
Rob, how hard can it be to do actual research. I mean, c'mon, I gave you the names of the sites. Go call them and see if they'll tell you. How hard is that? Do you know how to use a phone?Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
I posted links on another site last year, LV Advice.com. I didn't post them here because you and coach were being such horse's asses.
Now it's possible the sites won't want to talk to you. That's your loss, not mine. Thousands of people saw the results. You weren't one of them. Oh well.
Why would I care what you or coach think or believe? It's silly. You want to make some wagers with me, make them. Clearly you don't think you'd win, or you'd have done it already. You're not stupid enough to do that. I didn't think you would be.
If you're being truthful about what you say you do, you'd stop giving excuses and start posting links. You're the one claiming this stuff. Back it up.
The "one armed retard got laughed out of another forum last year for claiming he had qualified for the National Handicapping Championship when he in fact had not. For the record, I have not qualified yet this year and am almost out of time.Originally Posted by coach belly
As for Redietz, I'm a pretty neutral party here. But last year he was kind enough to keep me up to date on a couple of his contests and even gave me his log in info on a couple to verify everything. So I was able to verify some of what he has said. How much he bets per game or day to day I have no idea. But he has also mentioned some plays to me privately that I was able to follow. I have never met him--just kind of a professional courtesy and respect among 2 old time gamblers.
I was wondering how much Alan plays. He could hit a royal every day, doesn't bother me. Just curious if he is as lucky as it seems, or if he gambles frequently but only posts about the winning sessions / royals. If he doesn't want to say, that's fine too. Just curious.
I make no claims about winning (net amount) or having a profit. This is just recreation. Some people spend $25,000 for golf memberships, or spend $250 for a round of golf, or like to travel around the world. I like to go to Vegas. By the way, had a great dinner at Nobu and this time I ordered two servings of the Cod. Tried the new Searsucker restaurant (not impressed but okay for a burger, avoid the mac 'n cheese), and had my normal room service meals while I watched movies. I saw the new Purge Election Year movie (I like that gory mindless stuff) and started watching the new Star Trek flick (second time) but fell asleep and didn't finish.Originally Posted by RS__
Great job with the Royal, Alan.
I wish I could be that lucky to occasionally step up limits and hit royals when I do.
I got 6 royals all in one trip. I've never had another in my life. Those royals were all on a 50c machine with a multiplier, but only got a multiplier once for 2x.
So my best royal was $4,000. Lifetime.
Pretty sad.
This despite the fact that I've played a lot of $5 video poker.
But this isn't time for jealousy.
I'm truly happy that Alan hit that $100k jackpot right after being put through such a silly runaround by Caesars regarding his injury on the door.
Justice.

That is an amazing win. I couldn’t even phantom playing video poker at $125.00 dollars per spin. I’m not a gambling math guru, but what is the expected bankroll needed to overcome 40,000 to 1 odds on a game at these denominations?
Alan, do you play video poker at these denominations often? I noticed you had another 100k win in the past. What would be even better is that you hit this with their settlement free play money for your injured hand (if there was one) and the wounded hand all bandaged up was the one pressing the buttons.
Only TWICE I played at this denomination for any "real amount" of time and miraculously both times I hit a royal. However, this is my favorite machine at Caesars and I would estimate that I have played hundreds of thousands of hands on this machine at the $5 level.Originally Posted by blackhole
When I say "real amount" there were a few hands -- perhaps no more than 10 -- I played on this machine when I had some free play on certain trips. Most of the time I am a $5 player at Caesars, and sometimes I play only $1 if I am there to play craps.
The first royal came in October of last year with only $1,000 in the machine -- and I hit quad queens on the last play and then continued to play hitting more quads and then the royal. It was one heck of a lucky streak.
This time, keep in mind that I had already won at craps and had built up some wins at the $5 level when I decided to switch to the $25 level. And then at the $25 level I hit some quads which kept me playing.
To answer your question about bankroll: I've heard that you need twice the value of the royal in order to play at that denomination. Frankly, I can't imagine anyone with $200,000 sitting down at a $25 machine seriously with the idea of long-term play in an attempt to hit a royal. Whenever I've been at Caesars the players I've seen have a bankroll of about $2,000 to maybe as high as $5,000 and if they don't get lucky they walk away.
While I was there, a young man had a small bankroll and started at $5 as I did, hit some hand pay and then switch to $25 and while playing Triple Double Bonus he got quad aces -- of course he was cursing the machine for not giving him a kicker. While waiting for that handpay he put money in the machine next to him and got quad queens, and then went to yet a third machine and got another quad but it was on the other side of the row of machines and I couldn't see what he got. People get lucky.
Edited to add: See post #1639 from Oct 3, 2015 for my original report on how I hit the first $100K royal.

I thought this was a friendly forum with a small group of regular experienced gamblers sharing assorted interesting topics.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
Yet, when it comes to sharing alleged personal winning experiences, everyone seems to doubt what the alleged facts actually are. No one could deny that Alan hit those 100k royals, he posted pictures of them. But, everyone else without photos, tax returns, links, etc. etc. is challenged for proof.
This attitude on this forum fits into my thinking that compulsive gamblers are compulsive liars and most of you guys know that first hand. It also helps confirm that self-proclaimed lifelong winning AP gamblers are not really being fully honest.
It’s amazing how everything requires some sort of proof before it could be confirmed fact, except being a successful gambling AP.
At least Alan admits to being a losing player and just enjoys gambling his money in casinos. Compulsively or not he obvious still has enough funds to do so. I say good for him and hope the well never runs dry.
Yet, everyone else here seems to doubt everything being said without actual proof of winning. Is Alan the only one being honest about his gambling habits here?
RE: bankroll requirement --
Several things to consider. I think Alan's mentioned bankroll as in cash-on-hand or trip-bankroll or session-bankroll. I'd say most people probably have 50 to 100 wagers (i.e.: $250 to $500 for a $1 denom player) for a session bankroll.
If you mean actual bankroll, as in all your gambling money, then it really only makes sense to worry about bankroll/denom if you're an AP and plan to maintain and grow the bankroll, playing at an advantage. If this is the case, then it depends what kind of game you're playing, what kind of an advantage you're getting, and your desired risk of ruin. I think people say if you're living off of AP and only play FPDW, you'd need 20 royals for a BR. (I'd hate to play FPDW exclusively.) But if you can play better stuff with a 5% to 10% advantage, you may only need like 5 to 10 royals for a bankroll.
Nice Alan, congrats!
Great Alan! Wow! Congrats!
He would rather spend months making senseless excuses why he won't post the links, than take 2 minutes to post them.Originally Posted by Rob.Singer
His latest excuse why he won't post any links?...because we asked for them.
What a ditz.
Royal #3 of 2016
Early this morning I hit my third royal of 2016. It was at Morongo. A friend wanted to play video poker last night and suggested we go to Rincon. I won't return to Rincon, so I suggested Morongo as an alternative since it was a bit closer than Pechanga. I warned my friend that playing heavily in Morongo would not earn us any "Vegas benefits." So we both played $1 VP. I had lost nearly $3,000 on 7/5 Bonus when I hit this.
Always nice to see....but how does one lose 3000 credits on single line dollar vp? That alone is 600 losing hands and around an hour of play. Are the squaws giving out neck massages at the machines?
Nice hit. You had to be running ridiculously bad to be down that much in one sitting on that game.
