[vpFREE] All Hi Limit Full Pay JOB Removed at Wynn/Encore

 

As of the wee hours on Wednesday morning this week, all full pay JOB were removed from the high limit rooms at Wynn and Encore. I checked most machines and only found a few short pay 50- and 100-play JOB games left. My guess is this is the first of a number of changes to be ushered in by the new team put into place by the recently hired President of Wynn and Encore, Ms. Marilyn Winn, a former Harrah's executive.

[vpFREE] Re: Royals on same machine

 

Two $2 Royals at Reno Harrah's 9/6 JB within 100 hands. Two years ago.
Proceeded to lose half of that at Atlantis on evil Multistrike Super Times Pay before we had to catch plane.

[vpFREE] Emergancy Contest

 

I messed up and forgot to do our giveaways last night on the show.

I have a pair of tickets to Sebastian Maniscalco at the Playboy comedy club for Saturday, May 7 at 8 p.m.

Sebastian Maniscalco was one of four comedians featured in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland, Maniscalco has also appeared on the television programs Comedy Central Presents, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Jay Leno Show.

So here's the contest. Next week we are starting the segment "Structured Practice" to show people how best to use VP trainers to learn new strategies. The best new idea we can use will get the tickets.

I'll close the contest Sunday.

[vpFREE] Optimum Video Poker Upgrade

 

Word has leaked out that version 3 of Optimum Video Poker will be priced
at $59.95, and several people have expressed concern that they would be
wasting money if they bought the current version instead of waiting for v.3.

There's no reason to delay. The upgrade from any earlier version will be
priced so that your total cost will be about the same as if v.3 were
your first purchase of OpVP.

The price increase reflects the many new training and evaluations
features that are not available in any other VP software. Watch here for
announcement of a special extra discount for vpFree members.

Re: [vpFREE] Royals on same machine

 

Just to add another point of view to the discussion. I too have had multiple Royals on the same machine. My best are 8 Royals in 24 hours on the same 10 play machine, and 4 Royals within 1 hour on the same 10 play machine.
This proves only one thing, and that is, that it is foolish to quit a machine just because it has hit a Royal. No argument from me. I have had other machines that have kept hitting for many hours as well.
 
Now let's look at the other side of the coin, being on the machine that seems to be stuck on Hoover mode. The question is should you quit this machine after losing a specific amount of money.
 
The negative side of this argument states that it is a waste of precious playing time and because almost all machines are random and therefore honest, nothing will be accomplished in doing so. In my mind I believe this.
 
The positive side of this argument states that if the machine is on a bad run of hands, the switching of machines may put you onto a machine that will go onto a good run of hands.
 
We know that in true randomness you will hit runs of both good and bad. Sometimes these runs can be quite long. Unfortunately we only know the results after the fact.
 
The benefits and problems with switching are all in our poor little minds. If you switch machines and some Bozo sits down at the machine you were playing and uses it as an ATM for a few hours, you will not usually be pleased with your choice of moving. If on the other hand you sit down at another machine and it acts like an ATM you will be pleased with the move. 
 
Sometimes I stick with one machine when it is losing, sometimes I will switch. I believe that if switching makes you feel better than it is the proper thing to do. The time lost is inconsequential, and if switching makes you feel better you will be less prone to making mistakes.
 
Only the true pros can play machines in Hoover mode hour after hour without being affected emotionally. The rest of us need to switch machines on occasion.
   
Regards

A.P.

[vpFREE] Re: What would you do?

 



Well I took metal & wood shop, and pottery in high-school. Since then ,as hobbies, I have done some glass blowing, leather working, home brewing, and armor forging, mostly in medieval renaissance clubs. As a kid my main hobby was rock collecting, so I know my way around geology fairly well.

So here's what I'd do in no particular order:

1. Learn the language
2. Scout the entire Island for natural resources
3. Introduce simple devices like the Archimedes Screw, lever, water wheel, and other labor saving devices, etc... (too long a list, I'm a history buff)
4. Work on creating paper from wood pulp. Make glue from milk as bonding agent.
5. Attempt to give them written language and mathematics
6. Personal hygiene, and if I was successful in creating glass lenses for magnification, show them bacteria.

Depending on natural resources available--Sure they'd have seaweed and sand.

6. Show them how to make potash by burning seaweed and distilling it.
7. Create a kiln and get to work showing them how to make glass from silica and potash/ or quartz/potash.
8. Increase the yield of their crops by using the potash as a fertilizer.
9. If limestone deposits were available I'd show them how to make concrete.
10. If clay deposits were around introduce them to pottery.
11. If they had indigenous animals, I'd pass on leather working and tanning.
12. With metal deposits, show them how to craft metal tools. (pottery has to come first, to forge metal you must first have ceramic).
13. Time permitting (I'm probably old and dead by now). I'd continue the progression from bronze age up to industrially revolution giving them electricity, steam-power, etc...
14. If if found a wife, I would of course try to be a good father and pass on as much of myself to my children.

I would also be extremely careful to make sure their technology didn't exceed their wisdom, and I'd do nothing to remove their reverence of nature. I would not introduce the concept of money. I would not create weapons for them, even though I know how, unless they were in danger from other tribes.

What I found interesting for me in this thought experiment, is that of all my gambling skills, only math turned out to be useful and worth passing on.
____________________________________________

I don't think there can be a wrong answer to the question, "What would you do?" I'm sure that everyone answering this post is the worlds foremost authority on themselves.

Please keep in mind this was just supposed to be a light-entertainment and not the spark for serious philosophical discussion. It's important for me to know what interests the minds of gamblers for my show.

Re: [vpFREE] Royals on same machine

 


I, like several other members of this board have hit royals on the same machine with little time in betweem during one session.

I hit the $.25 DB progressive at Four Queens in January, 2011, two times within five minutes on the same machine (#11). The first time was for about $1,100 and the second time was for $1,005.

I hit three royals in 30 minutes on the now gone $.25 JOB 9/6 triple play machine in New Orleans. Each one was on the same line.

I hit two royals at the NYNY on the 8/6 $.25 JOB progressives (also now long gone) on the same line. The second progressive payout was $1,003.

So, I agree the machines have no memory!

Larry Robinson.

If you're a good gambler, you can get a good paying job (over 7 figures) at a hedge fund. Bill Gross started as a blackjack player, now he's head of PIMCO. Ed Thorp ran a very successful hedge fund for a while (he had a book called "Beat the Market"). A bunch of gamblers figured out that the Black-Scholes option pricing model was wrong for quite a while, thus providing a positive opportunity for them and a very negative opportunity for LTCM (casinos aren't the only ones who make "mistakes"). Claude Shannon (who figured out how to beat roulette, among other things) may have been the best stock picker of all time, his record beat Buffet. Buffet of course is a bridge player, as is Gates. Many Enron traders were poker players. Wall Street loves to hire winning professional poker tournament players:

> Wow - I'm not a professional gambler, but I am truly underwhelmed by the answers (so far) from those who apparently are -- make babies and stay alive??!! Come on! Are professional gamblers really cut from a cloth that is so self-centered that they would pretty much reject the "everyone pitch in" values of this society, where they will spend the rest of their lives??

Just the notion of being "productive" is modern. If you insist on being "productive", your only real option is to produce babies. Other than that it's Jimmy Buffet time, watch the sunrise on an eastern beach and set on a western beach, party all day and all night. There are various sources of sugar that can be fermented into alcohol (the locals already know how to do this) and the lifestyle and food are very healthy, there is little stress, no cancer or cardiovascular or other diseases of modern lifestyle. There is no value in owning things or knowledge so all of these things are free. You would have to learn their language of course, since they are untouched from the outside they must be very remote and away from the shipping lanes so there is probably no value to them of learning English and your chances of being "rescued" must be near nil. (As a side note, this doesn't exist, though there may be some remote untouched people in the Amazon or Asian jungles or remote Himalayan valleys.) They probably don't have written language, you could do that, but it's probably a negative to their culture, since oral cultures are much richer. Your biggest problem actually is to try not to have a negative impact on them. You may be carrying modern diseases of overpopulation (cold, flu, std's) that will soon wipe them out and leave you alone. Frank specified a "desert island", but it must get enough rain to support humans, otherwise it would be an unpopulated bird island and you would likely not live long. If it gets rain and has coconuts you could probably live a long time if you could stand the isolation, eventually likely someone will come along to harvest the coconuts.
