Re: [vpFREE] Spending TR credits

 

Since "any" activity at a CET property triggers a trip, it's probably safe to that picking up a gift (Rio) triggers a trip. 
What about playing the free play voucher but not accumulating any points? 
Probably know the answer but just checking.  Thanks

[vpFREE] RE: Reduced coin-in for Diamond?

 


You have stumbled upon another tool in the arsenal of finding an advantage play.  I always check  for a possible error in giving additional points for the same games in a bank of the same machines.  I recently found a new one at a Lake Tahoe casino and over the years I have discovered a few others.  The most famous "error" was the 50 play nickel 9/6 JOB game at Harrah's Laughlin that gave out points as if you were playing slots.   Many people here remember this "secret" play that lasted a long time. Bob Dancer even wrote about this one.  I was one of many that earned Diamond in a Day on this game. I am certain that there are many other machines out there giving out additional points- even today.

Re: [vpFREE] True Blood And Walking Dead Machines

 

LOL!!  My sentiments exactly.  My husband used to play in the lounge at AZC Decatur in the late 80's/early 90's and I made a vow not to go back for fear I'd get black lung!  Walkind Dead indeed!

Re: [vpFREE] Spending TR credits

 

BG,

We're in the same boat.

We've maintained a Diamond status for about 15 years now, and will never chase 7 Star status.
Once we accumulate the required credits for another year as Diamonds (usually sometime in August) we have the same dilemma.

We have accumulated a large # of R.C.s but are hesitant to use them on non gambling days. The same applies to Diamond lounge visits. We don't want to be "tripped" and damage our ensuing offers, but by the same token, once we've reached Diamond status for another year, we would rather play our V.P. at non CET casinos that at least have 99.54% (9/6 JOB) games at something less than the $5 level.

Without our free room offers from CET and the occasional free play or free tournament buy in offers, we would abandon CET properties in a heartbeat. Of course,if we don't play V.P. on any given day and use the Diamond Lounge or use R.C.s for a meal or even just a cup of coffee, our subsequent offers will dry up.

I guess that if CET keeps downgrading their paytables on V.P. machines, we'll soon vote with our feet and go elsewhere for our gambling.  

It's a shame, as we travel from the Carolinas to Nevada 6 to 8 times a year and also go to a number of CET properties in other states, but I'm tired of giving up over 1 1/2 percent playing V.P. at CET properties, when I can have a fighting chance at other non CET properties and get comparable offers.

It's a bit of a Catch 22.

Jim

I understand (sort of) that going to a property and not playing, or playing a very small amount, and on the same day using some comps (even a Diamond Lounge visit), can be harmful to one's future offers.  By the way, I assume that staying off the VP machines but playing live poker with a players' card does, in fact, register as "playing a very small amount" since live poker generates very few points, but will show that you were there.  If I have any of that incorrect, please correct me. 

My question is...How about going to a property and not playing, but using TR credits to, for example, "buy" a meal?  Is that also harmful?  I'm just curious because I have a lot of TR credits to "spend" (I know I shouldn't be saving them up, but I usually don't want to "waste" them unless my wife is with me for a nice dinner, so I usually let them accumulate and use them minimally when gambling solo), and little reason to play anymore, having already earned Diamond for the year, and with no intent of going for 7 Star, and with few if any "good" machines available - so I might want to visit a property just to have a nice dinner with my wife, and not to play, or to play live poker only and no VP (or other slots).

Thanks!

walking Dead and True blood have shown up at Palms and a number of casinos in Vegas. Dead is by far the better slot machine, with True Blood very disappointing. Also look for new Phantom of the Opera which are interesting, but only if you like the music from the show or you will go crazy. Willie Wonka machines are fun to play but total money suckers and again, if you don't like the music u will quickly go nuts.

[vpFREE] RE: Positive ev at the big two

 

Bankroll is never a joking matter. If you are funding your bankroll from your paycheck, your first bankroll is equal to some fraction of your paycheck. By the time your next paycheck comes around, your bankroll is equal to your starting bankroll plus or minus your gambling results plus another fraction of your paycheck. As I said, unless your day job is Chairman of the Fed, where you can legally print your way out of any downturn, your bankroll is never infinite.

On a related note, if you want to gamble in control, there are four things you need to know: edge, variance, Kelly bet, N0. Approximate Kelly bet is bankroll x edge/variance (you never bet more than this number), N0 = variance/edge^2 hands (you need to play this number of hands to get at least an 84% chance of being ahead).
