If I don't get ahead a chunk, I lose the whole wad, then come back and play 9/6 Jacks or as close as I can get to it with the rebate free play.

Alan had some point, I imagine, with the rebate every losing hand question, but I don't know what it was. It was obvious to me that getting a 20% rebate every losing hand in vp turned it into a winner unless you were playing a truly bizarre (nonexistent) game.
For the umpteenth time: the rebate doesn't make you a winner. Hitting winning hands makes you a winner. You still don't understand that?

Ironically both you and Fab hit winners and quit when ahead when using loss rebate promotions. So why did you win? You won because you hit winners and quit when ahead. The loss rebate wasn't even a factor.
