Thanks for the insightful response. You hit one under what circumstances? You shoveled some change in, sat for 10 minutes, held an A-10 and voila, the rest was filled in? Good data points.
Did you miss the part where I said nobody else hit neither? And this happened on not just one vacation (which would have been bad enough), but the last two. Of course the local player who commented to me didn't know what he was talking about. Yeah right.
"Or so I read on this board"? Thanks for emphatically confirming your knowledge of basic probability and statistics. No of course they couldn't be gaffed. Never happened anywhere before, right?
