Satisfactory Saturday. I won $13 on $20 Caesars JOB FP. Bored, I took the other $5 to dollar. I soon busted my tiny BR. I won $25 table FP on six point craps. I soon lost that on VP. $180 ATM plus $2 fee. I made a nice recovery upstairs on 9/5 dollar JOB. Net Day: -$10. 106 TCs. Not worth the crazy traffic, but I survived. Progressive $1,003. Jackpots: $1,987 and $2,200 on slots.

-10 dollars and 106 TCs is about as break even as you can get. If you had fun it was a good day.

-$60 at 5 TC. I was furious and on the revenge warpath in no time. Once I was finally at -$10, I knew it was over. No quad, but no further pursuit. Machine generously provided 90 TC and about +$95. I hit so many flushes. 9/5 short coin was an issue.

Satisfactory Sunday. I won $47 on Caesars dollar JOB FP. I then won $25 table FP on six point craps hit. I watched the soccer final. I lost $10 on quarter JOB. Overly upset, I hit dollar JOB and busted. ATM trip. Subsequent dollar play was failing. Then my dear friend quad arrived. Deuces for $75. Net Day: +$20. 26 TCs. I should have been +$52, but I chased the quad and it cost me $32 and a sprint. Sure, some second session remorse. I got off easy. We acknowledge our lapses and move on. Progressive (Regressive) at $1,023. HL Jackpots: Slot $3,060 and STP $1,360.

Sunken Sunday. I won $37 from $25 Caesars dollar JOB FP. I lost $25 table FP on nine to seven craps. Lost $60 on dollar. I played lots of quarter, as Progressive was $1,140. I hit a $19 quad. Eventually bust and ATM outside. It helped me claw $20 back. Net Day: -$62. 41 TC. Three gambling hours. Progressive $1,150 for next batch of suckers. Jackpot: $2,430 Ultimate X. Fat and happy 7S, who else.

3 hours for $62! That's pretty damn good. Especially dabbling with $1's.

I suppose so. The only guarantee of leaving a winner is bouncing after FP. I would have been +$17 at that point today. That buys a good long lunch. Of course, we insist on kicking the sleeping dog.

Forum crowd does not frequent a casino to win $17. I tried for triple figures and ran into more cold machines. I finally found a tepid one to exit with respectability.

You play a lot of JB. I find that game might make your dollars last longer but it is hard to make much money. Other than the royal there are no big payoffs. Once you get behind it is a battle to try and get even. So for added play time is is great....but for a money maker,not so much.

It reminds me of deuces wild. You either get a royal or deuces or go home a loser.
