Trip Report

[FAA]

Today was bad. I won $25 from my $25 voucher. I gave it back plus $20 in an hour. My two coin quad was of little use. I did win $25 craps, so back to VP. I mustered a $19 quad, but still lost $6 on the machine. Progressive was $1230, so I was banging away in vain. A Latina said she was playing it for hours last night. Good news is still no AC ATM usage.

     Just remember that pool of quicksand right in front of the ATM. Works for me. Just grab a sandwich or late breakfast at the diner on the way home, catch a game on the big TV, or whatever. Easy for me to type this. Not so easy to stick to it. So far for 2016, I have been a pretty good boy. Even the Mrs. says so.

Thanks Olds. My resolve collapsed. That $1230 jackpot was attractive, at over 100%. Of course, I never gave a thought to the W2 involved. I returned to the grind with my last $20, from craps. Fortunately, I was soon dealt three Kings and was gifted a fourth. I now have a five dollar loss after trip expenses. Thrilling escape. My third quad was full $31. Luck went my way. Down, but not dismal. Reporting from Grind City, this is FAA.

Back at the haunt. I won $20 with my $25 voucher. Machine continued to be a clunker this week. I gave it back and another $20. I hit craps hoping to retrieve my wallet's twenty. I rolled a quick seven for $25; back to VP. My $20 on this machine grew to $40, then dipped a tad. Then I was dealt two sevens and drew the other two for $31 hand. I cashed out at $69. Progressive at $1123, so I was more aggressive than usual. I would have been so bitter if I crapped out. As usual, I have cold feet at craps. So I watched a guy roll two winners before he crapped out. It did allow me to personally deliver a win for the table. A lady said my roll style was unusual. She wasn't complaining when we won. Another narrow escape at the shore. Reporting live from Grind City, this is FAA.

     Get em next time. At least not a total disaster.

More good news, bad news. I returned and lost $70. So I finally hit the dreaded ATM. I somehow hit two full pay quads to recoup $48 of it post fee. Okay consolation; I'm at peace with result. In my absence, someone hit RF for about $1125! Then, between my session two quads, an older lady in a red leather moto jacket hit the reset RF for $1005, drawing two. I even took a photo to remind myself: not a cold machine after all! She cashed out, tossed in a twenty and hit her second quad in fifteen minutes. Machine I lost $40 on this morning. She said it was because she went to church this morning. I was underfunded as usual. She only came for the Diamond Lounge too. I had an eventful day. But only leaving up $13 after fee and transportation. Session Two gashed my gains. Nice hitting two full pay quads within twenty minutes. What a delightful surprise. If I simply split after the first, I would have lost out on the future $48. No guts, no revenge. In my subconscious, Ted told me to go for it.

Further news for a party of one.
I hit two quads in two hours today in Bally's and Caesars play. Good day overall. Won $57 in VP, even after giving back the first quad. I also raked in $35 at craps, which enbolded me to turn $20 into $47 at Caesars on $40 coin in, earning nary a TC. After my Bally's give back fiasco, escape was paramount.

Terrible TR. I won $42 from my $25 FP, then lost it all plus $10. $1,077 progressive. I am definitely, with ZERO equivocation, returning to my old tried and true strategy of post quad machine abandonment. Lost my $25 craps FP bet. Still eager to play; ATM time. I lost $60 on dollar DW. Shortest trip yet. Was dealt three deuces at one point. If I ever hit four, I may get addicted.
