Quote: JoemanOne evening back in college, I was hungry and the pizza place a block from the dorm had a special large 1-topping for $3.99. So, I scrounged my cash-on-hand and came up with exactly $4.23 (6% sales tax at the time), and called in my order.
When I went to pick it up, I put my money on the counter, but the clerk said it would be $4.25. Turns out they rounded their prices off to the nearest quarter (and, yes, sometimes down). Well, I tried to explain that it should be ($3.99 x 1.06 =) $4.23, and that was all I had on me, but the clerk would have none of it. For a brief while, we just stared at each other across the counter in a "well, what happens now?" type moment.
Finally, the manager saw what was happening and told the clerk, "Just take his money and give him the pizza."
Manager definitely made right call. I heard a story like this at a local restaurant, but it was only to the nickel. Well one customer didn't like it and eventually reported them, and they got in trouble for it.
Finally read this thread all the way through. Mission spent way too much time on that keno example, imo. I love math and all, but does Kentry?
I obviously hope it's just an elaborate ruse, but I'd feel bad if he isn't. And if he isn't, probably a bunch of people should get suspended. Quite a few people are having jokes at his expense.

I think it is 8 on a scale of 8.

I love edit.

No, I don't expect any suspensions from what's been said so far, or they'd have already been given (IMO anyway). That doesn't mean it's open season on him. But the forum also doesn't need to be run to cater to any one member's strengths or weaknesses either.
I suspect Kentry's agenda is to try to provoke people into reacting in a way which will result in their suspension.
As for the content of Kentry's posts, there is no rule which specifically prohibits "creative writing."
There is, however, a rule which might provide a remedy.
Hello, rule 13:
" Nuclear option: Finally, if the site administrators feel that a member is so disruptive to the site, even while abiding by the rules above, a "nuclear option" may be invoked to permanently ban the offender. This will be used sparingly for only the worst of trolls. (Added 2/20/11)"
According to Michael goldin. Director of marketing and slot database management at Hialiah there are no 3 dollar offers the minimum is 5
So now the charade is over

Quote: WizardofnothingMods---- if he can't eat and is returning items/ maybe it's time for his own protection to encourage him not to post
Maybe you need to leave me the hell alone.
Quote: WizardofnothingMy friend, how do you want me to respond, you say you are going to the casino to win 1 dollar to pay your friend three, I would actually say the same thing to anyone I'm here that posts , not just you, if you go to the casino with two dollars you clearly have a gambling problem and should stay home , it is just beyond comprehension. Then you blow half your check . And return items to pay for food, This forum is not helping you , if anything it's contributing to your downall and I'm sure multiple others in here will agree .
I lost half my paycheck once and that was a total ugh and shouldn't have been done. It was a deep regretful one that I refuse to repeat again.

Where is the fun in that?

But he brings 300 units. That is perfect for a full Kelly.
Quote: WizardofnothingMaybe that is fun to him, doesn't make sense to me though it seems like a lot of effort for what can't amount to more then 20 or even 50 spins - because even if he is playing pennies - without playing all the lines he can't be hitting anything
He hits plenty [of nerves] here with minimal effort. Maybe the casino is the same ;)

I once got $90 on 1 cent a line. I also got $50 playing two lines at 10 cents each.
That's what the smart slotters do.
There is a lower house edge on the higher limit slots, so it makes sense financially.
Just one magical pull and you could be rich. Kentry.
Take a shot; what could go wrong?
It's only money, and your mom can always get more of that for you.
Olk I noticed you avoid a ton of question however GWAE said this.Quote: Kentry.
Quote: GWAEI will be in Miami in January. We should meet up. I would even buy you a burger.
There's no reason not to respond.
FYI. I have meet and communicated with GWAE and he's a good guy and I'm certain he has no nefarious motives or anything to worry about. Other members have meet him as well. I haven't heard or found anything that's been anything less than honest and reputable.
So PLEASE respond to his offer.
I have defended you regarding WON however if for some reason you balk at this offer I'll assume the worst.
Monkey fest II. Or is it III ?
Combine one part naivete and two parts narcissism with a dollop of low IQ.
Shake, don't stir.
Quote: GWAEBut he brings 300 units. That is perfect for a full Kelly.
Unfortunately it's the casino getting the benefit of the Kelly Betting, since they are the ones with the edge.
Quote: WizardofnothingBoz I'll be happy to get chip in on that meal if kentry is real
I typed it out, I got all excited. This could be a WoV Deep South, OK a WoV Cuban meet-up.
Started to line up the Tigers to provide security, call in some other old markers......
Was just a dream...damn!
Nevermind....
Quote: WizardofnothingBoz I'll be happy to get chip in on that meal if kentry is real
Kentry might be better served if you chipped in toward the cost of a decent haircut.
But heck yeah, eyeball that guy and let us know just WTF we are dealing with here.
Win-win: we get info, he gets a free burger and a beer.
Quote: BozKendry, I'll beat GWAE. Ill be in Miami on the 23rd, heading to the Upper Kegs (Islamorada) for a few days and then back in Miami on the 27th hitting a few breweries. If interested, let me know and I will buy you a nice meal and a beer in Miami or the Keys. Most of us are good guys and like meeting other members. Win/Win situation.
Hey now no fair. I am poor I can only afford a burger.
Quote: WizardofnothingIt might be for his own good anyway even if the posts are genuine..... It's beyond comprehension. I also have real doubts as to whether Hialiah mails out 3 dollar Freeplay coupons- I have never seen a casino mail less then five but I cannot swear on that but I do have a call out to get that answered
I got a mailer from dottys once for $1 in fsp. Not sure if you qualify that as a casino though.
Quote: TomGPretty easy to get $3 offers: when they sent you $5, take only the free play and don't give them another cent in action. Seen more than a few using that strategy
I remember re-signing up for the Stations players card at Palace Station a couple of years ago. You'd get a random amount of free play. We both got $3.
Please quit glossing over members kind and generous offers, it's bad manors.Quote: KentryI once got $90 on 1 cent a line. I also got $50 playing two lines at 10 cents each.
Boz has extended an invitation as well. He's a good guy and there nothing to fear, unless you have something to hide.
I assume since you seem to be struggling and oftentimes low on cash a nice meal would be appreciated.
Quote: GWAESays a lot abut you Kentry that 2 people have offered to buy you a dinner and you haven't even responded to the offer. Yet you will respond to other comments.
like, "not for real"
