No mathematical genius am I. I just started to read this threat So forgive me if this info is repetitive redundant and just plain inaccurate. I do play house edge video poker and am losing overall the many years I have played. The "long run" is not a finite length of time so realizing the calculated result of your perfect play may be millions of hands away like the computer did in far less time. The bell curve would suggest many folks will experience the W/L results that were anticipating..but some will not unless they play to infinity and I have no positive proof of that .

We lose most of our money playing POSTIVE expecation machines.(When including all the benefits of cash back and slot promos)
I just hope we live long enough to even out!
Right now we are about 6 cycles behind in Royals at Palms.
Waiting for that dealt Royal to even things out, and get that positive number.
