Thanks again all! I guess between my luck of the Irish wife and my birthday, I was smiled upon at least for a moment. Another nice Royal. Good thing. My wallet had indeed lost some weight.

Congrats, i'm jealous! I had a 4 to a royal draw a few days ago on 5 hand dime bonus streak with an 8x up and nothing came of it, not even a flush. -_-

And happy birthday!

Thanks again everybody. With a bit of discipline, maybe I can keep this going. I have a bunch of trials now with the Clone. It appears I was speeding up things too fast and busting bankroll. It looks like the final number at least for JOB 9/6 will be a bet of 1.25 ( quarters) and stay at that level untilI have lost 10 times my bet or 12.50. Then advance to 1.50 until I lose 15.00 more before advancing to bet 7. The safety net comes in when you cut into the loss from the prior bet. For example, I advance to bet 6 and immediately get 2 pair. I would drop back to bet 5 at least for the next bet. Anyway, always a work in process, but this morning playing this way, I only got 2 quads in 3 hours about 2,000 hands and still managed to make another 63 bucks before we went home. Full houses helped in my dropping my bets back down. Especially when they hit soon after you have just increased to the next higher bet level. There. Is a very easy way also to know where to go bet wise without even looking at the credit balance. All you have to know is how much for one each winning bet pays. For instance, let’s say I advance from bet 7 to bet 8 and inmediately hit a full house at 9 for one. I know I can immediately drop back to bet 7 for at least 8 more hands even if I don’t win anything.

It would be nice if on your bday casinos would reimburse your payout to account for taxes, even if only in free play.

Welcome. No room tonight, but I may run up late after the storms which are on the way go by. If I do, a long nap is a must, then home early Sunday after breakfast. I am anxious to give the Clone Job another trial. I am amazed that near the end of the last trip after we checked out and playing 3 hours I was up 63 bucks with only 2 quads. My bet level remained under control too. Maybe 12 quarters was the highest. All on a single line. I can only get 8/5 on multi line or spin games It makes a big difference with the Clone. Our last trip Thursday night was most generous by the casino. They gave us one of the luxurious executive suites which are beyond nice. Sometimes they do this if I check in late, they are short on regular rooms, and they they probably won’t rent the suites that sometimes go for thousands per night. I think it helps that we leave our rooms as neat as when we checked in to make it easy on housekeeping.
