Today I had conversations with the casino manager of the Palms as well as with the slot director at the Peppermill. My reason for calling them was initiated by reading the continuous claims by Dancer on vpFREE about how casino promotions are such a "lucrative" part of every AP's "approach to winning". This makes no sense to me, which prompted me to make the calls. I have thr Palm's CM's cell number and the other guy's home phone, so it was no problem chatting with them about this.
I don't need to go thru all of this in detail because it's so much common sense. But the main point, as you may imagine, is that these theoretical 2% to maybe 4% "promos" are constantly put in place on a regular basis in order to rope in the most bankroll-capable players, who are always claiming they somehow have an "edge" playing one of these for 24 hours--a spec in time vs. the "long-run". That would be someone like Dancer, and make no mistake, the casinos offering these things know 90%+ of the players they expect to respond--many of whom are directly invited in to play them.
The bottom line is, as you should already know, the only ones who win anything on these promos are those who have very good luck in the comparatively short amount of time they're playing them. Most lose their asses, which makes complete sense since there is NEVER a shortage of +EV creations to play. Further, if ANYONE were either an overall or consistent winner on these offers, THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO PLAY THEM!!
So, what does that tell you my friends? DO YOU GET IT YET?? Or do you prefer to remain in denial about this, and choose to look at a video poker-induced divorced loser as your ultimate vp hero? Think about that.
