He is posting in "Recreational Play" it clearly states, The lighter side...playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math"...
That's what the label says, but it's not what's inside the box. He's one of the most math-concerned gamblers on the boards. His system requires continual computations throughout the entirety of his marathon sessions. I'm an AP, and I don't do anything like that.
His strategy is his strategy, and I believe he has a lot of fun playing. I also think he is a very nice person.
Yes, he's very nice and has a lot of fun. He also has a lot of strategy. Why would the strategy be off-limits for discussion?

💚 woooo hooooo! We both thank you! Uh O! Looks like it might be a late evening Sunday trip. Wouldn’t want the clovers to wilt!! If the Mrs can’t go Sunday evening, she will go Tuesday. I don’t mind the banter on this thread. Kinda keeps life interesting and takes one’s mind off of the messed up world for a bit. Thanks again all for keeping the thread going. That’s one reason I named it Bizarro World 2023. 😃. 107 pages and counting so far.

Just pulled into the garage at Bizarro. Will let you know how it all pans out. For the younger folks, that saying goes back to the gold rush days when prospectors would pan for gold in a stream, hoping to find all the gravel had dumped out, leaving just the gold behind in the pan. The saying goes back at least to the mid 1800s. Another one….. there’s gold in them there hills goes back to Georgia in 1849. The assayer of the mint was trying to keep towns people from leaving Georgia and try their luck out in California. Of course the big gold strike in California started in 1848 at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma California. That’s just about 2 hours northeast from where my sister lives in Sonoma. Hoping to find a nugget or two at Bizarro tonight. Need to keep my head screwed on straight and not bet over it.

I hope to win silver this week with a straight flush. Should I bust again, I may be shaking a tin cup.

Well, it was bound to happen unfortunately, the machine that never beat me, beat me. Beat me good. I waited for a loss of 100 times my bet before going to the two lines and waited for another hundred times in my bet loss on those two lines before going to line 3 and lost 100 times my bet again, on line three. Lesson learned. At least I’m having a nice lunch and after we take care of the trick-or-treaters tomorrow night, the Mrs. and I will be back up. She has her four leaf clover‘s, including the ones that CBK sent socked away forTuesday evening. I meant to bring a couple with me, and left them on the dining table. 😬 one strange thing, though, this machine is part of a carousel of three. For hours there was a tech working on the machine directly opposite of mine I could not see him, but I could hear all of the clicking clanging opening and closing the door, banging, etc. I’m sure all three of them are hooked together somehow hopefully that had nothing to do with the machine beating me up. They are not poker machines. They are regular slot machines, but part of the same carousel. 😬 I know Bonus Deuces is a tough game, but sometimes there would be dud cycles of between 20-40 losing hands without one winner.

He probably drilled through the back of your machine and inserted a garlic clove to neutralize your four leaf clover.

What's next? You still have two months to get back to even, or whatever you're trying to accomplish.

No, those four leaf clovers that CBK sends us are super hardened diamond dust formed to shape. They are impervious.to drilling. The garlic cloves will come in handy tomorrow night when the werewolves come out so I kept those. I think he used AI to make my machine think it just paid out a jackpot and was resting.

Ice cold machines at Bizarro on Halloween evening, but great dinner last night and lunch today. I couldn’t hit a thing on Bonus or regular Deuces and neither could the Mrs on nickel Ultimate X
DDB. Being in a major batter’s slump, I opted for a low but still stinging 400 buck budget which the Tribe was glad to gobble up over about 4 hours of play.
The Mrs thought she had used up all of her clovers from CMA last night, but found a lone one today behind something in her wallet. She ended up breaking even for the trip by hitting nearly back to back Wild Royals on DDS 50 cent Bonus Deuces Wild. No pics this time on my phone. If the Mrs took any, from DDS, I will post them.
