Sorry, Rob, but your attempt at trying to deflect attention to banking soft profits failed. And don't say it is a problem with my comprehension. If you had soft profits banked they would have been mentioned in your "net win amount" but they were not.

You have an out, however. You could say you forgot to include them. But -- it's too late. You already had a chance to use that out.

I don't think you have a system at all. Sure, you have "special plays" but now you have told us that there is no hard and fast rule about your special plays. And now it appears you don't maintain your bank of soft profits -- you just plow them back into the machine just like those addicted gamblers you make fun of all the time.

Rob... when you initially talked about "special plays" they had some reasoning behind them. But now holding kickers has destroyed some of your most important special plays.

You have also undermined your own strategies about soft profits.

And now we see that you are playing so much video poker it's hard to think you even have any self control about where or when you play... and it seems you "drop in" for quick visits just like any compulsive gambler would.
