I lost $25 table FP on six to seven craps. Little did I know that two more quads awaited.
My sliding scale was conceived as casino rope a dope. Wear out the machine with chump change losses. Then hopefully swoop in with max bets on premium hands.

Ah yes! The magic formula for winning. Bet small - lose small. Then, at the precise right moment, bet big and win big. Too bad that it's impossible to predict that precise moment.

Successful Sunday. I won $26 on $25 Bally’s JOB FP. Given back, but a $50 quad within a half hour eased the pain. I lost my $25 table FP on a six to seven craps for a Groundhog Day moment. I won $18 on my first ever NFL wager win, breaking an 0-6 drought. But I lost $17 of it pursuing my second quad for $25. Net Day: +$104. 12 TCs.

Stable Saturday. I won $30 on Bally’s JOB FP. I racked up another $50, then gave most of that back. I won $25 table FP on a nine point hit after spending a buck on Any Craps. Off to restaurant tourism. I hit a $50 BP quad Kong’s at Ocean; +$8 there. I battled more at Bally’s, but only another $8 there too. Net Day: +$66. 32 TCs. $1600 Bally’s coin in, 900 hands or so. It just didn’t come. Too scared to play dollar for long.

Good thinking. I know from experience. Scared money means no money at the end of the day.

Stable Saturday. I won $25 on $25 Bally’s JOB FP. It grew to $65 after a $25 quad. I then lost it all on the adjacent machine. But a second and third quad came on yet another machine, $50 and $19. Three quads in thirty eight minutes. I won my $25 table FP on a six point hit. Returned for a fourth quad, $37. I hung out in sports book for hours to see what I’ve been missing. Returned to a fifth quad, $37 dealt Jacks. The last two were BP, sans the bonus. Net Day: +$52. 32 TCs, $1,600 coin in. The quads came in half the average interval, so I left with some scratch, not scratches.

Good keep the bandaids in the wallet. No need to break them out today. Home tomorrow then back to casino Sunday evening. Hoping for successful trial 7 on joker kings. Exotic car show at Mohegan. Hope they give me tickets for that. Down the hall from the assisted living facility where my dad lives now is a very nice elderly lady. Her son who is about my age has a brand new Bentley conv. Beautiful car. Offered to take me for a spin when the weather is better. Wow!

Sad Saturday. I won $25 on $25 JOB FP. I was restless with quarter and halves. I escalated to dollar JOB, which runs $10 a hand. I was done in ninety minutes. I won $25 table FP on a ten point hit, preventing a total bust. Net Day: -$290. 54 TCs. $2,700 coin in.
