You must understand the loneliness involved of being someone like me. If you can't tolerate the lonliness then you need to find another trade. vpFREE is a release for me. A release from the God forsaken lonliness of what i do.

Thanks for sharing Mickey. There are many of us wage slaves who romanticize your lifestyle and wish we had the skills and or cajones to do it ourselves. I hope that the next time you are feeling lonely you can take some solace in knowing that many of us envy and respect the way you live even if we have no clue how tough it really is. Peace.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Again, important to keep track of points at Harrahs properties

 

Perhaps your points were re-distributed to someone else who's in the 99%????

"Last Activity Date" updates with any account adjustment and is not a means by which to determine "trip" activity.

Play after midnight in a casino where the casino day runs until 6a will not trigger an additional gaming day, but will advance the "Last Activity Date" forward.

RC's posted for a multiplier, or any other post trip adjustment, will also advance the "Last Activity Date", but this doesn't represent a rating dilution.

Also while their play day appears to run until 6 AM, I have noticed play after midnight adds a play day on the website and therefore may very well reduce daily average too. If anyone has recent contradictory proof, I would love to be corrected.

[vpFREE] GVR added new machines

 

There are a total of 48 or so of the new up 99.8% payback machines scattered through out the casinos. The list only shows 6. Nice addition since I love SDB and TB+. What Ive noticed is that many players on the 5 and 10 denomination think they are getting the 99.8% payback since the placard says so(overhearing conversations). They dont realize the better pay schedules only exist for 25 cent denom and up. Good marketing move for Stations.

[vpFREE] Re: A Tough Year for Royals

 

I can't find the message, but someone who said he was a newbie asked how I know exactly how many hands I've played. I'm sorry I didn't get back quicker, but there was some technical difficulty, some holidays, etc.

I carry a small notebook. Every time I play I record the following:
Casino, machine number, exact game (e.g. $1 10x 9-6 Jacks), start time, money in, start points, end time, money out, end points. There are a few nuances, but I record this info for every session I play. When I get home, I transfer that info to a spreadsheet.

At every casino, I know how many dollars coin in earns one point, therefore, I determine my coin in from the points. Since I know the game, I know how much coin in is produced by each hand (# coins x denomination). Divide that out to get how many hands you played.

But, ma18ks, I like that moniker you hung on me, Lone Wolf Hustler. That shoe fits pretty tight.
