Interesting feedback. No rope in 2.4 years. I have waded into BP when desperate. I find that I need a two quad day to approach break even. I like low variance and risk.

Satisfactory Saturday. I won $31 on Caesars dollar JOB FP. I won $25 table FP on a five point craps hit. I got two max quarter quads to achieve +$99. But I was hell bent on a dollar quad. Third time's the charm. Alas, I lost $126 on less than full pay JOB/BP play. So I was at min coin. I was dealt three Aces and got the fourth for $80. It could have been $400, but timing is everything in life. I lost $41 on the machine. Net Day: +$58. Progressive at $1,060. Jackpots too numerous to mention. Casino was absolutely on fire for those with deep pockets.

Sorry Sunday. As I headed to a dollar machine, I saw the adjacent one swarmed with friends and family. A $20,000 DDB RF. I decided to play cheaper. I won $19 on Caesars quarter JOB FP and gave it back. I lost $25 table FP on four to seven craps. I busted on dollar JOB/BP. ATM sprint; busted those funds. Net Day: -$255. Progressive $1,026. 111 TC. 71 yesterday. I was gripped by a fevered manic desire to get a quad. It will be a long week.

Solid Saturday. I managed to win $16 on $25 Caesars dollar JOB/BP FP, bumped to $24. I won $25 table FP on an improbable five point craps. $10 Harrah's lunch. I ran $80 and won $17. Long shuttle wait, but it benefited me. Back at Caesars, I won another $17. Net Day: +$62. Quarter Progressive $1,050. No time for it. About 7 Caesars TCs. Nice to lounge for a spell at Harrah's sports book. I didn't want to leave. See you soon, AC.

Troubleshoot Thursday. I won $21 from $25 Caesars JOB FP, then busted. I won $25 table FP on an eight point craps. ATM sprint. I hit a few full houses to claw back 80% of my loss. Net Day: -$20. 122 TC. Quarter JOB was a $30 loser. It was fun being dealt four to SF. $1,037 Progressive. No time for lunch. Just happy to split with minor damage. The extended play still hurt. A +$46 to -$20 is a lost $66. Need for speed and greed. No quads, so a minor loss should ensue.

Solid Saturday. I won $24 on $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. I gave back but soon hit a $75 BP quad tens. I won $25 table FP on a nine point craps hit. Tun lunch deal. Tanger shopping. Chatted with a retired mechanic in WWW. Squeezed in more VP, hitting a full house. Net Day: +$98. $1,014 Progressive; no desire to play. 20 TC. Just a stress free trip. A third of my usual coin in helps. Limit sample size to leave a winner and enjoy dinner. Bon apetit. Get me on the road!

Super Saturday! The drought is over. But the frustration endures. I won $37 on Caesars dollar JOB FP. I lost my $25 table FP on six to seven craps. I hit a $19 quad nines on quarter JOB. I gave back the $37 and busted on dollar JOB. I hiked to Hard Rock for their matching offer and won $54 on $50 FP on 8/5 quarter JOB, hitting a quad Aces. Feeling great, I hiked to Oceans for their $50 FP. I won $110 on dollar JOB. The full houses were freely flowing. I hiked back to Caesars to wrap up my trip. I was playing dollar JOB downstairs, as usual on a min to max betting scale. After losing $20, I reluctantly inserted another $20 and bet $1. I got 3RF hearts and drew the other two! I cashed out and flew out of town, blowing off my restaurant reservations. So after 2.5 years, the wait is over! But the W2 chase is sadly ongoing. I realized only 6% of my hand's potential winnings. It was a great day overall after my first session bust. But a horrific day considering the winnings left behind by my low bankroll. There simply is no right answer. I was so short of cash that dollar play should have been off limits from the outset.
