My wife no longer comes to play her penny machines as they are mind drudgers without any seeming fun or excitement (she would get excited over a $10 win). The look of despair on the players as they just sit there and play hundreds of hands without even considering moving. If the Horseshoe ever declines like this, I'm through.
Sling, you really need to read and learn about variance and standard deviation.

I know all this stuff,and was into it before I even knew Rob- I didn't just jump into VP without knowledge. I even had VP help programs on my computer which would stop my play whenever I made a "mistake" on my selections. My favorite play was when I "mistakenly" held 3 to royal and had to override program- I hit the royal. I still have my favorite VP book which goes into great detail on various hands- even has a section on what to hold on progressive VP jackpots. But this is real LIVE casino play and I can recognize the difference between past play and what's going on now. I don't recall many days when I played without at least two quads. And when I sit by a player visiting from Vegas and he tells me he's been playing 12 hours and 4 6's is his first quad- that's a red light to me. To top that off, two of my former coworkers who keep asking me where I've been have hit bottom at this place-one going through a divorce. Screw that.
