    Axel, I might be being stupid here but how the hell can I text you if I don't know your phone number?

    BTW, I don't want to get in a pissing contest so I will just show you my best play right off the bat. Its just a $1 bet but is worth $310 an hour. POW'R HIT PLUS.jpg

    Nor do or would I. Darkoz started down that path and It's not in anyone's best interest. I quickly figured out basically what he was doing and approximately where. I would assume the people he works for and with wouldn't happy if they realized.

    I thought we exchanged when I first seen you on WOV. I can't remember back that far.

    Let me post my # up online, sounds like a good Idea to me ehh? here's an email since there's no PM available here and your not on WOV.
    [email protected]

    Is that normal keno? I mean is there some kind of special ball that has to come out or some special mode to snap up the progressive? I'm not sure how fast or slow them machines are however a 6 out of 8 iirc is about the same cycle as a 4 of a kind @ 420 something spins/pulls, so that shouldn't even take but about 30 minutes. That pay table looks absolutely atrocious about 50% return without the progressive and no bonus crap (is there some kind of bonus round to make up for it? and I have no clue what the meter move is)

    let's assume with the meter move the actual value is about $270 and it takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Looks like a fun hit and run play. (do the casinos there ever run any promotions?)

    I'm sure you could imagine playing in the neighborhood of $8 a pop @ 600+ spins an hr @ a 140% for 8 to 12 hours.

    Assuming I'm in the ballpark that's approximately 75 of power hit plays.
    ------------------------------------
    One day I want to visit Montana, go fishing, take a dinner train tour and a steam train. (I LOVE TRAINS I sleep like a baby hearing the rumble), visit Bannack ghost town while fishing grasshopper creek (do you know it?) and see some state parks. Perhaps me, my GF and dad will go, he's been traveling and enjoying retirement as of late, he's actually traveling with me now (she might slap you silly for your rude comment)

    Speaking of trains are you a AMC Hell on Wheels fan? How can't one love Cullen Bohannon's roll..... http://screencrush.com/442/files/2013/07/Season_2.jpg http://static.srcdn.com/slir/w570-h...mon-Hell-on-Wheels-Bread-and-Circuses-AMC.jpg

    Do you/would you travel outside Montana for a play(s)?

    WOW I was actually responding while you wrote that rant. I'm slow at typing and sent my last response before I read it. I wouldn't had responded as I did had I read that first.
    And yes I have been busy so I didn't really have a bunch of time an energy to get into all of that.

    Quit lumping me in with any crowd or anyone. Quit thinking i'm for or against any group, math nerds or bastards. I'm in the.... don't bash people I like group here or there.

    I myself said math skills alone won't get you anywhere in AP, I myself suck at pure math.

    Mathematical people normally only see the obvious and don't look deeper and or see the big picture and potential. Getting it done on paper won't get you any money from the casinos. Run all the simulations you can and figure everything out down to the penny, meanwhile someone else is out actually playing it and probably on something better and less obvious.

    I don't care how book smart someone is or how many presidents and capitals they can name while standing on their head.

    I'm my own person, I don't follow anyone, I don't idolize anyone I don't have any heroes I don't need to.



    I don't know ME very well, I agree with his assessments on betting systems, RNG's and DI. Sally is annoying and very condescending/snide and rude to people. Crystal Math seems like a nice happy helpful person but I don't know much about him.

    I like people who are cool/nice/interesting/helpful to me and I believe to be trustworthy and are fun to be around. I don't care if they are retarded or the smartest person in the world or if they are rich or if they are poor. I have an amazing variety of friends from guys and gals that are seriously bat shit crazy to people are incredibly intelligent, guys that are old as hell to people not even 25.

    I can get along with almost anyone and find something in common with them. I have friends I argue and fight with weekly, to guys I have never had a single disagreement with. I realize everyone is unique and I can easily recognize how to get along with each different person I associate with, yet still be me.

    I know my shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses and I admit them. I know other people's strengths and weaknesses.

    If I can't figure something out I'll find someone that can. If I can't do something myself I'll hire someone that can. I know what I can and can't do, while I can easily figure out who can or can't and who's full of shit quickly. Chances are if it's that difficult it's not that great or it's so complicated its not something that's easily done.

    Whatever the case is I know what's what, and I find a way to make it happen. I'm always saying "I don't care who does what or how it gets done as long as we get the shit done". If that means I have to be up at least 30 hours straight in the casino (IE the Plaza promo) I will.

    There are 20 balls drawn in the game. Take a look at what the 4 out of 8 pays. A regular 4 out of 8 pays 2 for 1. But if the 20th ball drawn is part of the hit then it pays 8 for 1. The regular 5 out of 8 pays 11 for 1. But if the 20th ball drawn is part of the hit then it pays 44 for 1. A regular 6 out of 8 pays 48 for 1. But if the 20th ball drawn is part of the hit then it pays 500 for 1 plus 1% meter. The regular 7 out of 8 pays 230 for 1 but if the 20th ball drawn is part of the hit then it pays 800 for 1. The solid 8 pays 800 for 1.

    I put the game at 112.9% which includes the meter. You can see I have the speed at its highest level. You can see the start sensor all the way to the right. All I have to do is set my finger on it. I never have to make any motion, just set my finger on the start button and the game keeps plays. On the fastest speed I'm cranking out 40 games per minute, 2400 games per hour.

    The frequency of the 6 out of 8 with the power hit is 1408. The meter resets to $500. Its supposed to be resetting at $200. So its either a glitch or a technician's error.

    I watched Hell on Wheels all the way to the last episode. I like trains too. I sometimes will take Amtrak from Havre to Whitefish and back just to kick back and see the sights. I usually have a couple meals on the train too. The Amtrak Empire Builder runs across the high line every day. The high line is the northern most railroad and northern most highway (Hwy.2) in the country. The east side is grasslands, the west side is alpine. Just south of here is the little town of Craig on the Missouri River. The best fly fishing in the world.

    I'm quite content here so have no interest in plays out of state.

    "Fun and Frustration in Las Vegas" That's the name of manboy's how to article on prostitution...as if he would know.

    He has now posted 14 different photos of naked women advertising sex for sale... complete with phone numbers and prices. It's interesting that a member got suspended for an "inappropriate" avatar. It was nothing like manboy's photos. It was a blurry cartoonish image of a woman's back. It was cited as being pornographic.

    Josh must be proud. Mrs Wizard must be tickled pink...especially when she runs into parents of her kids' friends at the market. The neighbors must be drawing the curtains. People on the board are complaining but manboy is oblivious. He can't help himself. I'd love to see the secret stash at "Mikes house".

    Mission146/Pavlov146 said: With apologies, I also voted that some images were too graphic". He then pointed out that six people have already complained. They are creeped out once again. Not by the photos themselves but how and why they are there. Manboy, still oblivious and totally clueless, is acting like a kid in a candy store...or a kid that sees a naked woman for the first time.

    His response to the complaints, even after concerns that kids may accidentally see the photos: Until the big boss asks me to change it, or does it himself...

    I guess that's as good an insight into the guy's character that we'll ever see.

    Forum rule 6 huh, manboy?

    There you are. I thought you were out winning another $127K on a slot machine while the casino stood by and watched.

    Like that photo? Maybe you and big Wiz can share. Maybe she'll take you under her ...um...wing? Maybe you can pay her to sit on your chest.

    She looks familiar...from Florida maybe?

    Are you saying it's 112% straight through and still available and you can bet $1? Ok that's mind boggling if that's correct, because there's no way to make strategy mistakes and locals would be beating it silly I understand not everyone bets 20 coins and plays 8 spots but obviously someone plays and no doubt even an idiot keno player would notice a $300 difference than the other machines they normally play. I can imagine someone getting lucky and hitting it enticing them to keep returning eventually building a bankroll. there are them crackpot non AP' machine system people everywhere you go. People that believe they can crack the code, eventually someone would realize there's a possible situation.

    I'm not sure what company or what regulatory agency deals with the machines but isn't it risky to publicity expose this and somehow inform alert and alarm someone who can fix the problem?

    Axel- mc has balls of steel and isn't afraid of no stinking regulatory authority- he has millions of plays and will find another. Like that guys that say - go ahead punch me in the stomach I can take it- until one time they die from it - aka houdini

    Axel, the game has a huge hourly rate but I'm not getting rich off of it. Its the old question torch it or milk it. There are 4 machines in a little 20 machine casino. I've had the play for six years. But I only take $500 to $1000 win and then let the machines soak. If I beat them out of say $3000 in a couple of days they will have the slot techs come in and see what's going on. These little joints just can stand those kinds of losses on a continual basis.

    I write the meters down before I leave and I check them when I get back. So far I don't suspect I have any competition. There are 30 games on those machines and the Pow'r Hit game just isn't popular. The game can be found on about 2000 machines around the state but the meter starts at just $200, about a 90% game. But resetting at $500 its 112.9%. I never see anyone playing the game. Montanans just don't have the knowledge to analyze plays. I do well here because of the lack of competition. It would only take a couple more pros piling into the state and none of us would make much money.

    I think the one thing that ploppies don't like about the game, they don't know the percentages, they just know their money is disappearing very fast, is when you are just hitting 4 out of 8's, 5 out of 8's, and 6 out of 8's without the Pow'r Hit, they are taking a 40% drop. Their money disappearing that fast scares the hell out of them.

    I had a case one time where I ratted out my own play. I found a 125%er. I could only run $500 an hour in action but it was worth $125 an hour. Late in the afternoon of the 2nd day I had a $1500 lead. I went and kicked back at the bar downing shots and chasing it with beer. After I got drunked up it dawned on me what I was doing. It was a VFW club. They are non'profits. All the money they make goes to veterans causes. Mickey Crimm has to much class to beat veterans out of their stew like that. But any asshole ploppie can't make enough mistakes at video poker to blow off a 25% advantage. Only a blind person could lose at the game.

    I corralled up the Post Commander. I told him he needed to get the slot techs in to change the paytable. He thought I was just some idiot and blew me off. I told him "Look, goofball, if you don't change the paytable on those machines I will beat you out of a thousand dollars a day until I own this joint. Them I'm gonna take that VFW sign down off the top of the building and put one up there that says Mickey's Joint."

    "Who are you?" he asked.
    "I'm a Gambling Consultant out of Las Vegas, Nevada."
    "So you really think we have a problem?"
    "I know you have a problem."

    He got the slot techs in the next day and they confirmed to him that the payscale was too good. He thanked me and I went on my merry way. I figured the $1500 earn was my consulting fee. LOL!
