My wife and I now do ~$2 million/year action combined. Primarily on ~monthly trips to Nevada plus a smattering at MS and Foxwoods. There are still occasions when both CT joints have positive E.V. plays. Haven't been to AC for a few years. $30 FSP doesn't shake our bones.
Before retirement, Nevada action was a lot less but our MS action was at the old Sachem level. Made money at that joint. Also, was 7 stars and would be flown to Bally's by Harrahs. Lost money in AC back in the day.
Our upcoming end of January trip is to Vegas. It combines 2 months FSP for january/february for ~$1,500.
Action will be on 99.4% to 100.1% VP with as much as 5% on slot machines. We were ahead ~$30K in 2012 after airfare/car rental expenses. 2013 down ~$15K including transportation costs.
But t'is no fun flying to Nevada every month. Two weeks ago we left south point at 6 in the morning and got home after 7 at night. Still recovering.
For those gamblers that are retired from their day job, consider establishing yourself at a few Nevada joints. Bi-monthly trips are the sweet spot as far as free play opportunities; but beware. Got no mailed by Reno Atlantis after a (winning) trip when we cashed-in 2 months of FSP.
