Big Casino Wins and Jackpots

[Alan Mendelson]

Well, like today I hit $200 and didn't leave and went down to $100. I hate to admit it, but I have trouble stopping-I really enjoy the action. Now remember, top denom is quarters for me, so to me that's a large amount.

Before you beat yourself up, what did you start with? If you started with $50 and left with $100 I'd say you did fine. If you started with $90 and left with $100 you still did well. And if you started with $100 and left with $100 you beat the casino because you also accumulated slot club benefits (provided you played with a card).

Let me add to this: on one of my recent trips to Rincon I had $290 of free play. In the early going I got very lucky and had $900 on the meter playing $1 Aces and Faces. Then I started losing. I left with $240 cash. I considered that to be a perfect score -- only used free play and left with $240 more than I came with.

I don't regret not cashing out at $900 because I gave myself a chance to win more.

Slingshot, I have no quarrel with you. But wasn't it you playing with your money and not quitting when ahead? An argument anyone could make was that they lost because they didn't quit while they were ahead. Your own losses are always due to your own play.

Maybe revere was the wrong word. How would you define your attitude towards Rob Singer? Aren't you even a little bit skeptical of his claims? And as far as "downplaying others", no one here does that more than Rob Singer.

I really enjoy the action and it's hard for me to stop. Part of this is due to the fact that 5 years ago, with proper money management, I could eke out more wins. Rob's comments were making me sick at my stomach for a while, but after I reread all the bullshit that was slung his way I just sat back and forgot about it and tried to get a few questions in without stirring the pot. I mean, it seems that everyone thinks that his special plays, number of credits GUARANTEE a humongous win beyond normal comprehension. No one ever spoke about the post that started with "session #1-$155", etc. It's kinda like a great Super Bowl game-everyone remembers the big plays=but no one talks about what it took to get the win. I'm POSITIVE that the short-term and win goals are the only way to consistently win. And that includes loss limits, too.

I came with $300. I spent $60-70 and hit quad 4's to get to + $30. I saw my favorite penny machine with only a 68 cent previous win on it-stuck the $30 in and played 10 hands at $1 (why do they call them penny machines?) and hit the bonus round and it just kept going and before I knew it , I had $212-which I cashed out. I usually play these whenever my wife wants to play. Then, I tried vp again and after trying several machines, lost the $100. Why several machines? It was the worst scenario on each machine, no full houses, straights, flushes filling and I just got sick of playing them.

I play a lot of video poker but I have to be honest, I get bored with it so I will play the penny slots for a change of scenery. One of my favorite penny slots is called Robot Riches. I have only seen them at Rincon. There are only 4 machines, 2 back to back and they are near the tables in the middle of the casino. I think the minimum is 25 cents but I usually switch off between $1.20 and $2.50. It has a bonus round that awards you anywhere from 10 - 25 free spins. I have better luck on these penny slots that any others at Rincon.

Alan, Alan, Alan, If you were a strong player (which you're obviously not) you would have taken that $900 straight to a $25 machine and drawn four aces with a kicker!

Yeah-my wife, who has a slight mental disability, has no luck with math, numbers,,etc. She, however, loves the penny machines and I, at first, thought I was catering to her comfort by playing them. I thought they were a little silly. Then I got to noticing that most of them have a slight pattern and I started hitting more and more and kinda use them as a diversion and a way to get a $30-$40 buildup to take a shot at ddbp on quarters. I do this by watching the vp players that start out by playing bonus poker-they like to play all day long-and whenever I see they've left, I'll switch to ddbp for about 100 credits. Kinda the strategy Rob uses-I just let THEM play the first bp credits for me! Saves $25! I'll never forget one experience. We had $25 comps and a couple of free buffets. I had just paid about 10 large bills that piled up suddenly on one month-couple of insurance companies, property taxes,etc. I told her we could just go for the buffet and however long the comps lasted. After losing $13, I told her we were only gonna play 5 spins and if nothing-quit. If a hit, only the number of extra spins the win allowed. We were down to $6 when we played some machine I'd never seen at 30 cents-30 lines at a penny. The FIRST spin, a winning symbol filled the whole screen and we left with her tickled pink with just a little over $100.

why not watch a player at a $100/coin video poker machine? And when he gets up after losing why don't you sit down and play... saving your $173,000 or whatever Rob Singer has for his strategy?

Random events tend to cluster.

[Rob.Singer]

Let me give you two other options:

1. Rob is telling the truth. Or...

2. Rob won the money, but isn't exactly honest about the amount of time there, or how much he originally lost, or how much he later lost.

I take all of these "win reports" with a boulder of salt. I know that people win big -- and it really is a function of the denomination you play. But unless I see a casino-generated win/loss statement or I am there to log every play I "know better" than to accept the claims and reports that come from players at casinos.

It's like when you sit in the waiting area at the airport in Vegas and you listen to everybody on their cell phones.... they all talk about their "wins" but no one mentions their losses.

I think it's perfectly okay to talk about the wins and congratulations for getting them. But don't tell me what a great long term winner you are without the "undeniable proof" (to paraphrase a famous quote).

This is one of the only posts worth replying to so I'll offer my take. Alan, I've spent years trying to teach others the art of quitting while ahead. And I wouldn't be able to do that without having successfully mastered it. So why is there even a question about how I've been doing that in this, my most profitable run of my life at vp? Surely you remember a little over a year ago when I was on here complaining how I was mired in the worst quad drought and losing of my career. When I knew what was going on I stayed at low denominations until my luck turned. Likewise, you've seen me steadily play higher stakes sessions as my luck's improved. Why is that so difficult to understand or stomach? Why do you have to keep questioning if I'm telling the truth about how often I play? You were never concerned about this stat when I was losing. Think about that.

I'm going to assume that it has finally been accepted that neither do I know how to create a fake vp screen, nor has it been done with my jackpot photos. Now we're peeling down the onion further, where eddie, who understandably is sick to death over my good fortune, needs this to be that I'm posting "other people's" jackpots....of course, without him doing any thinking whatsoever. But please, actually DO some thinking about it. What would it take? You've been to high limit rooms. None are ever THAT busy. How could I possibly know where to go and be when these things are hit, and what casino would even ALLOW a lurker float around or play sparangly just to suddenly jump up and ask winners to snap pictures? It would mean immediate expulsion and I would look and feel like a fool. So what do I have, some rich sugar daddy running around hitting these? Or maybe I'm pulling them from vpFree or some other forums or sites. I sent the $100k hit to Shackleford because he was interested in why I didn't play the best pay tables available-- which this proved his assumption wrong. So would I do that if there was even the slightest possibility of this win being posted somewhere else by someone else? People need to wise up and not let their jealous emotions take over .

How does a quarter player do that? How can a post on what I do ever once in a blue moon be construed as my main way of playing? These slights by all are aimed at Rob-it's obvious. I made the mistake AGAIN of just posting off the top of my head. I enjoy the total casino experience.

You doctored that $100,000 jackpot picture.

[a2a3dseddie]

And by the way----over, & OUT! I'm banning myself for winning.

And yet another lie from Rob Singer. Surprise surprise.

Simple translation: boehoe boehoe boehoe, blablablablabla. A lot of words and yet still no real answers or explanations. Hummmm, why would that be? Oh yeah, I remember: blablablablabla, boehoe boehoe boehoe. Was this your reply your answer as a professional or recreational player? Or could it be the answer of the addicted player?

[Vegas_lover]

Rob,

A few questions for you regarding your New Orleans trip:

1) When did you receive your free flight to New Orleans offer?

2) What were the exact details of this offer?

3) How did you redeem it (that is, please explain the process you used to redeem it)?

4) You said this offer was made because of your heavy play in a different casino. When was that play?

Hey Robbie, were Dan's questions not worthy of your reply?

Sling, you're experiencing the videopoker.com/mickeycrimm (who is here, BTW) mindset with their collection of dumb, probing allegations & questions. They're so frustrated over me that they have no choice but to try anything anywhere*that has a fleeting chance of scratching that nagging RS itch. Just enjoy it and make fun of them. That'll give them something to do other than sit there feeling that jealous pit eat away at the inside of their stomachs. How exactly do you think they can feel after watching their host admit time and again how he squandered leads out of not being able to control his gambling impulses? You think they ENJOY watching me post unfathomable wins while enjoying unmitigated success at this game when what he does so mirrors their own failures? Their reactions are what I've always lived for when these streaks come along, but this time it's tough love personified!

You know what Rob, you are the stupidest most idiotic fool on this forum. I thought when you first came on you were going to share your strategies and methods. When everything you shared was discredited and you came up with ridiculous reasons why you couldn't or wouldn't provide any kind of supporting evidence, you resort to posting your ridiculous jackpot photo(shop)s.

Do you really expect people to believe as you've posted...

"Yeah, I was playing increasing denominations. I lost almost my entire bankroll for each session, but with a few hands left I was able to hit $50,000 and $100,000. Oh yeah, and I did this within 10 minutes and I did it 3 times in a row!"

Like that's believable. All it would take for you to shut me, (or anyone else who doubts you) up, would be to walk someone we actually trust, like Alan or redietz or arcimede$ through a casino website to see your win / loss statement as has been mentioned many times. No one has to meet you in your dilapidated trailer and you don't need to meet Alan at Caesars Palace if you can't afford the trip. (Although I'm certain you're chomping at the bit to meet up with Alan again to try and convince him to lend you some money)

The bottom line is, your mindless insults:

1. I'm rich! You're poor! I'm a winner! You're jealous!
2. I live in the U.S.A the greatest country in the world! (But I'll be damned if I'm going to pay any taxes) All of Europe are dykes and homos and wimps!)
3. Only I have mastered my strategies of chasing losses
4. I never lose (or always make the recovery) Everyone else is a gambling addict! (except slingshot because he worships me)

I finally get it. The smallest confession of anything is immediately pounced upon, and to get that confession your ego is slightly uplifted to get any hint of info to use against you.
