I'd suggest playing on off peak hours because it garners so many scratch cards. I think that Tring calculated about a quad every 100 hands. I hit 46 quads and a SF in about 1 1/2 hours.

R.S.: I think that your references to "the Boyd collection of dumps" and that "no true AP would bother wasting time with Boyd" were interpreted as saying something about Boyd overall. Many of us read both threads. The contrast to what you posted in mickey's thread and what you've posted in this one is stark.

AndrewG: If you are just playing for the buffet, you may well lose more than it is worth. I think that 8/5 BP is more like $70 per TC. I wish that someone on this board liked posting mathematical calculations so that no one had to rely on my memory or guestimates. A TC is just $5 coin in on slots. I have also heard about a number of people who were gifted TR's and higher tiers. It aint me babe, but best of luck to the rest of you.

KJ: I'm glad your posting. I tried counting cards back when it was much easier. I was horrible at it. After reading about all the bannings and hassles from the heyday, I'm pretty impressed at how long you've managed to do this.

accountinquestion: You aren't the first person to make a case for giving up some EV to get some really good comps. Dan kept a pretty good thread on how to hit 7 stars cost effectively. By the time I figured that it would be a good deal for me to hit Tahoe, CET devalued the program. Rooms EVERY week with some double dip weeks?! Wow! Nicely done.

redietz: Thank you for the history lesson. I've gathered that there are successful sports betters out there, but I don't understand how such a thing is accomplished. Sounds like you lived through a golden age, but learn to adopt to changes.
You ought to read about redietz' extraordinary accomplishments from 20-40 years ago....only you have to search his posts because somehow, none of it ever made it onto the internet.

If you believe people here are interested in giving anything other than lip service to others like you, Fab etc. who come on and say they don't play to win money but "enjoy the comps" then you've come to the wrong place. EVERYBODY here is a winner! Some even whine continuously about how all these chains have cut back on their slot club benefits and freebies as if it's some sort of right. Yet none of them ever stop going. That's called addiction.

It's like that proven liar kew constantly leaving this forum swearing on the homo's bible he'll never return, only to time and again show what a weak and needy loser he is by coming crawling back like a worn out doofus. They can't stop, and regardless how often or much they lose, it always resorts down to the "I like the free buffets" and "I'm not really playing to win money because I'm stupid enuf to be manipulated by the casinos into saying how much I enjoy the self-overvalueation of comps so I can pretend to feel good about my loser self".

Wise up.
