Actually, my losses came before the royal, playing craps.
I was miserable at the craps table, when Dave (one of the dealers) asked me "any luck at video poker?" I replied: "I haven't played yet."
So I cashed out of the craps game and went to video poker. Put $1,500 in the machine and hit the royal after losing $1200.
That turned my luck around. And just before I left I had that monster at the craps table hitting the small and the tall in the same hand, but NOT the all. (See the other thread.)
Nice hit on the royal, Alan! I assumed you exited the casino immediately afterwards? No tip for the slot attendant? Also, Rob Singer likes to say one should take it easy for a while after hitting a royal. Make it last a bit! After a couple months of not playing any VP, your luck should "reset" itself after such a long break so you don't suffer an immediate mathematics-based backlash from the holy RNG.
You said you lost $1300 before hitting this. That equates to +$18,700. What happened to the other $5700? Are you saying you just couldn't stop until the losses started piling up?
I'm starting to get the HD picture of why two thugs showed up at your door. And does gambling after getting thrown out qualify for an action fix? Common sense says you should be taking serious stock right about now, and to leave the casinos alone until your house gets in order. Just a thought.

Congratulations Alan!
I have a question. According to vpfree2, Alan played 8/5 Bonus on a machine that also contained 9/6 Jacks. Was he rated at a higher theo than if he had chosen to play Jacks?
That important?...no, of interest?...yes.
Tales of big gambling swings are of interest on these forums...aren't they?
Like Huck Seed's $670K royal, it's interesting to know how much he was stuck before it hit, that's why he disclosed it.

In your craps report, you didn't disclose that you finished in the red or how much you were stuck.
So when you wrote that you were down $1300 before hitting a $20K royal, and left with $13K , it created confusion.
I asked if you had lost more after hitting the royal, as a possible opportunity to discuss bankroll management and adjusted stop-loss points.
You didn't disclose how much your monster craps roll netted, only that you were still down $5700 after a monster roll.
You had previously been very forthcoming in discussing bankroll, win goals, stop-loss, session profits, etc.
This time you left some unconnected dots, an unsolved puzzle.
A monster roll doesn't necessarily mean a big win. In my case, I was playing a $10 table and I never pressed any bet to above $25. I held the dice for about an hour -- and that was the monster.
I also happen to have hit both the SMALL and the TALL during that roll but there was a "winner 7" in between the two of them which is why I didn't make the ALL.
If you must know, I started with $15 on the passline and $52 across. The point was 8 and I had $50 odds. When I colored up I had about $2,500 from the nearly-hour long roll.
Also understand the table was FULL so rolls did not come quickly. There were 16 players at the table -- 8 on each side and no boxman to help. Floormen who watch the table are not permitted to touch money or even to turn over the lamers for the Small, Tall, All bet.
Most of my profit came from the Small and the Tall that I hit with $25 on each position. With the new pays that Caesars has, they paid $775 each. (Previously it was $875.)
The only confusion was with you and your butt boy idol....and that`s only because he`s a loser that`s jealous of people going out and doing things he only wishes he could on his government scrap handouts....and you because you`re just a dipshit....The man won 13K, leave it at that, and don`t let it stick in your craw...leave that for Singer`s di.....nevermind
I saw a guy at Pechanga need a hand pay after hitting for $7200 playing keno on a vp machine. What's the biggest keno payout you've seen from a machine?
