Ok, so the points add 0.025% now (as opposed to 0.075% before). You are playing full pay DDB which returns 100.07% which brings you up to 100.095% assuming perfect play.

Now NSUD returns 99.72% and Triple Bonus Plus returns 99.8%, but you get 3 pts for $1 coin-in (worth 0.30%) on those bringing you up to 100.02% for NSUD and 100.1% for TBP. Also your mailers (assuming you get those) will be much better playing NSUD and TBP instead of the over 100% machines.

Make sure you play NSUD or TBP on the 2x points days since then the difference is even more significant.

[vpFREE] Station Casinos Squeezing Us Again!

 

I was over at Green Valley Ranch earlier today and sat down to play some Double Double Bonus on machines I've played before. After playing for about 1-1/2 hours, I left for a dental appointment. On my way out the door I met someone I knew who informed me about the change on the over 100% machines which I hadn't paid attention to on my machine -- that they changed the dollars to points ratio from 4-3 to 12-3. I found a slot attendant and asked when the change took place and was told at 8 this morning.

I'm wondering if it would now be better to play Triple Bonus Poker Plus and Not So Ugly Deuces in place of the over 100% games with the new ratio on those games.

[vpFREE] Re: Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 18 DEC 2012

 

McDonald's doesn't bankroll interested investors, instead they charge a hefty franchise fee. You have to find some other sucker or the government to bankroll you and take that risk. But if you can, that's the secret to successful investing, sell the risk to someone else and take as much of the reward as possible. That's why poker players like to sell stakes in themselves and companies like to sell stock and governments like to issue bonds.

So I agree with the premise of the article. However, progressives "team" leaders/owners, from my in-person discussions with Frank Kneeland, do or have done this regularly with people they either know or have been told are up to snuff. And as I told him, I still wouldn't trust anyone who gambles, not to be distracted or tempted to do something that might affect me negatively. As far as the possibility of giving away trade secrets, advantage play and responsible money management are hardly secrets, and being able to seek out certain plays which appear attractive does not take a tested genius to do effectively.

> Good article debunking the oft-heard imitation logic of "If your system works, you should bankroll me." But there is at least one further drawback not mentioned: do I really want to teach my most valuable trade secrets to a stranger who might tell ten friends, any one of whom might have the ability and desire to become my competition? Even if she (the stranger) doesn't?

LVA Question of the Day - 19 DEC 2012

Q: I noticed that in a QoD regarding the Super Bowl you
referred to it as "The Big Game," although your readers can
refer to it as the Super Bowl. Are there copyright
restrictions that prohibit you from using the official name:
If so, who is and isn't allowed to use it?

Read the answer here:
