The 0 for 176 stat is not Carter's, it's mine.
Carter, the original poster, stated that one of his (or her) reasons for posting was to "let the newbies see just how long the streaks can get...".
My comment on my 0 for 176 streak was meant to reinforce that point with my own example.
I agree with a lot of what you wrote. We shouldn't compartmentalize. But that's sometimes a difficult maxim to follow when you are having a tough time in a particular area of the game. And, no, I have not experienced an overabundance of royals via other routes that would compensate for the "shortfall".
Since this personal streak of mine has involved play at a dozen or so machines at four different casinos, the idea of an illegal machine is a non-starter. To me, it's bad luck, and will turn around. I just hope it's soon.
