They really committed to the final dice scene.
Not only showing the degenerative nature and impulse but also slowly showing more rolls than you might expect giving it more realism.
The movie flopped hard only getting 1.5M back out of 10M invested.
The general public doesn't understand nor do they want to understand that story.
Plenty of real life people you can compare it to like TJ Cloutier, Huck Seed, Stu Unger and many others.
I guess I need to clarify being 5 cycles behind on deuces.
Although, I have been behind like that before, this time it isn't exactly true.
I've ran into plenty of sets of deuces.
I just haven't made 4 deuces on that particular game in over 25,000 hands.
I've played many other games in-between.
I was on a deuce rush playing White Hot Aces 9 Line Spin Poker just the other night.
I was dealt 4 of them and made a god awful amount of them giving me 1,2,3 and 5 sets at a time.
I've also made back to back sets of deuces on BnsPkr Dlx and a few sets on Bonus Poker.
I guess it just depends on how you take account.
Personally, I keep different records per machine but one could just lump everything together giving a more true account.
True Story about that particular Spin Poker Game.
I've only lost one session and I was up 7k that night before I donked it back plus 8k more for a 15k swing.
It doesn't exactly make sense to be up over 70k on that particular game but flopping a Royal for 36k helps to tilt the variance.
Not to mention being dealt an abundance of quads along with dealt Aces and Fours.
I suppose a person could run hot, indefinitely, on a game that only returns 99.57% but I wouldn't bet on it.
I have read that you could be at 104% return to 96% return on a game like that, in the short term, so I guess the deviation isn't so far-fetched.
A few years ago, I destroyed a 99.29% 4700 Joker VP game as I posted a few of the jackpots online.
I literally made 4 Royals in 4 Short Sessions.
I also made 3 sets of 5 Balls in about 10 sessions total, playing that game/bank.
Meanwhile, ZenKing is somewhere plotting his master plan!

No idea why these messages were part of the Albertson's Monopoly 2020 Thread.
I moved them here, and closed that thread.

Whoops. I accidentally closed this thread instead of the Monopoly one.
Apologies. This is open again.

It would have been great to show the consternation of the cackling lady in more detail (the bespectacled wealthy lady in the earlier dice scene that was laughing at him going bankrupt as he kept betting the don't while she was making 7's and 11's as she bet the pass line line on the come out rolls in the earlier dice scene) in the final dice scene as he started kicking ass. I'm sure he put a nice dent in her fat pocket book (she probably couldn't have caviar for the rest of the week).
Anyway you nailed it Monet - the three of us liked a movie that completely flopped because what happened to Grady (before he got on his lucky $22,000 streak) was quite realistic and has been played out countless times all over the world - they really did a great job showing the mechanics of a down fall.
