I think there should be a press release going to every media outlet in this country stating that you and Rob have found a way to beat negative expectation games. I'll be more than happy to write it.
This is probably the most ridiculous post you have ever made in this discussion. Let me clue you in on a few things:

1. People win at negative expectation games all the time. You never know what that RNG is going to give you.
2. You don't need super powers to get lucky in a casino, or to have the RNG give you a royal, or two, or three.
3. Rob and I haven't figured out a way to beat negative expectation games. What we did was come up with a way to manage our money better so we don't drift off into fantasy-land thinking that every full pay video poker machine is our personal ATM and retirement-income generator.

Frankly, Rob who realizes that you can't beat the casino, and is satisfied leaving with a modest win goal (his is about 5% of his bankroll) has his head screwed on better than the rest of you... and probably me too.
