Guy quotes Mickey Crimm math. A “Minor” jackpot at $482 will hit (on average) at $491 per Mickey (which is the essence of MC’s tweet).

Why $491? Because $482 + 500 is $982. The mid-point of these two numbers is $491.

Suppose a hustler saw a Minor at $480, does that mean on average it hits at $490 (regardless of RTP, meter movement, etc)? Now suppose that hustler quit at $482 and Mickey Crimm showed; that original $490 mid-point must now be $491 per Mickey Crimm. But suppose the original hustler didn’t quit but took a bathroom break at $482 and came back ... so does the hustler use the original $490 mid-point number or does he now have to use $491? Hmmm.

And no, I am not surprised Mickey Crimm believes in the midpoint approach.

Btw, for the Ainsworth $10K, the meter movement was 15 basis point in Northern California but 10 basis points in Reno, just next door. 50% faster meter movement in N. Cali than Reno.

The tweet that started the conversation where Mickey Crimm math was being quoted was here:

And “kybourbon” claims the meter movement for the $10K Major was 1 penny per $5 in coin in (based on my limited understanding of his tweet). 0.01 / 5.00 is 20 basis points.

Somehow Mickey Crimm math of the mid-point approach works identically for 10 bp, 15 bp, or 20 bp meter movement for the $10K major’s.

I’ve been saying, I wasn’t there. I didn’t see Mickey Crimm take down 9x$500 Minors so I don’t know anything about Mickey Crimm’s ACTUAL RESULTS. I will tell you that I’ve been paid thousands in finder fees on the $10K’s using the B/E approach but Mickey Crimm will tell you I don’t know turkey shit about these MH’s.

By the way, one guy regularly drops $10K majors (for RTP’s at 93%) while DELIBERATELY chasing the $500 Minors using option math but per Mickey Crimm I still I don’t know turkey shit about MH’s.

Silly little old me.
ex-Ap, thank you so much for pointing out to everyone that I am an advocate of using the mid-point for analyzing MHB plays. I wrote about it years ago and it's the industry standard today. But it's not our fault you don't have the capacity to understand it. Good luck and say hi to your fellow third graders for me.
