NEW TO VP, NEED TO KNOW THIS!?

[shadowman]

Good points. Rather than thinking of VP as a way to make a living, I like to think of it as a way to improve my lifestyle. Being retired on a fixed budget I use my VP winnings to purchase something extra now and then.

good answer because fpdw played perfectly yields about an average of $7 per hour plus comp points average depending on the frequency of royals i enjoy playing good games and correctly so for me it is a hobby that i enjoy that is "cash flow positve" vs golf fishing

I'm working on making golf a "cash flow positive" venture.  I'm not quite there yet though.  I haven't quite learned the strategy perfectly I guess.

Golf is one of those cash-flow negative activities I fund with VP.

[QUOTE=Ace_In_The_Hole]Then why play video poker, if it takes so much money to make such little profit. your telling me that there's no way that I can make $20,000 from a few days running $500. 
     Because it's an enjoyable pastime with interesting math.  The beauty of the math is that the odds guarantee a specific probability but your results will vary in the short term.  VP is one of the better bets in the casino.  I can always improve my hands/hour and accuracy.  Learn  strategy to new games.   Many hours spent playing for free on this site and others plus the hope of winning in  the casino gives great value for the entertainment dollar.  The very best and knowledgeable people contribute to this forum enhancing the VP experience.  According to this thread,  well played VP may generate 1 to 3% in annual income ergo  money invested in VP is more fun than the same amount in a passbook savings acct.   I play because I love a good challenge and get to associate on line with the brightest, wittiest and most helpful folks.   In my case it behooves me to to never forget that VP is my game of choice and my major form  of interactive entertainment.  Also it's good to remember that at the casino,  it's far more possible for the miracle of taking $20k and turning it into $500  to occur than vice versa.[/QUOTE]Thank you Big Steve, for getting it right and saying it right.
