I am starting a thread to record for everyone here how many sessions I showed a profit from playing video poker or craps or any casino game. The point of this thread, and record, is to show that it is possible that you can quit when ahead. I concede that you and I aren't really quitting -- we are just suspending our play until our next session. But as the profits from each session add up (and I am using a calendar day to define a session) you can have an overall gain or profit.
This is something that Rob Singer has advocated for so long, and has been discussed in other threads.
11/4/15 Bellagio I had $1,000 of free play. I ran the free play through $1/coin 7/5 Bonus poker. On the very first play I got two-pair which paid $10 for my $5 bet -- and that established a profit at some point during the session. After running the $1,000 of free play through, I cashed out $970. See the photo below.
Then we went to dinner. While waiting for our reservation I played a Double-Double Bonus game which required 50-cents per bet and hit a hand pay for $400 with $100 in the machine. There was a net gain of $300. Curiously, this $400 payoff required a handpay. Heaven knows why? See the photo below.
We did not play any more on this date.
11/5/15 Bellagio Another session when I had a profit and finished with a profit. A dealt royal flush sealed the deal on their $5 progressive. I will write more about this on the Big Casino Wins and Jackpots thread. See the photo below.
