Some cringe worthy moments in the Pai Gow video tonight for me (Sarah misplaying her first hand. She was lucky they let her push. Most places would have taken her money).

Vic got lucky with the dealer not realizing she had a straight and playing the flush instead. He would have lost:

Yeah I've been wanting more pai gow videos but the beginning made me turn it off for another day.

Definitely don't make comments like, "That was the right hold," when you clearly have no clue what the right hold is.

In the case of holding a pair of 6s when he should have gone for 3 to a royal, it seems like he might think he is a good poker player generally, but doesn't know a thing about VP. However, if he held an Ace and dropped a pair of 6s later on, then, well, we have to conclude he is bad at regular poker too

Unfortunately he's just bad, even listening to him talk strategy with Sara it seems he knows enough to be dangerous but not enough to know exactly why you're making certain plays. I've been practicing my vp a bit with a play store app and I'm sitting around 99% correct plays, with the incorrect ones are when I value a royal over a statistically but marginally better play.

So I made a comment in one of his videos. I said "An incredible number of erroneous decisions made here." He responded with: "I have a different approach when filming as I'm aiming for big hands, and not just trying to play for as long as possible. It may not be the optimal strategy, but I'm ok with that. Hope that helps."

If that were true, he would have gone for the royal and not kept the 6s. He's just bad. But that's ok too, helps keep the paytables up.

    I don't even care so much THAT he made the wrong decision...I care, but only a little. My big problem is verbally declaring the wrong decision to be the right one.

    Like you said, dude should just admit that he's not very accurate. Most people aren't.

    I know I'm shilling hard for the slot massacre crew of guys but at least they have a disclaimer "don't play like me, I don't always make the statistical right play, and you don't know what loss rebate I have with the casino."

    Where has Sarah gone? All new videos and 90% of the streams seem to be the new guy.

    Can’t stand watching the streams where he loses cause he is such a whiner.

    I don’t know why she partnered up with this guy. She had a nice gig. The only thing I can think of is she wanted to curtail losses and play less sessions. Then again, everything I hear is that these channels are lucrative..but then I hear they aren’t. NG Slots is utterly adamant that he cannot cover his yearly losses with his channel. He has 250,000 subscribers. Is he lying? Maybe. Is he not being totally transparent and is also including his table losses? Maybe.

    Even the channels that purport to tell us what they make are wide ranging. I’ve seen reports that Lady Luck was making $40,000 per month to reports that it’s $12,000. I’m at a point where I’ll believe what I can see. Let’s see the income reports first hand, especially from the ones who say they are making X.

    I’ve also heard reports that winning sessions have a much higher return (views, trending, etc) than a losing session. This might explain why most if not all of these channels aren’t fully transparent in showing all sessions. Too many losses = less money back. It may also explain why many of their sessions are “signaled” prior to watching. They signal a big win in the heading or preview.

    I just noticed a comment I made on a blog post here of TheBigPayback in Feb 2015.

    In part he said,

    Quote:

    i've found I'm having some fun with it at this point with over 400 subscribers. It's been crazy with some of the high-limit slot wins and knowing the math, I know it can't last like it has been, but what a ride it's been! Anyway, for those who would like some vicarious slot gambling, here you go:



    It's now been 7 years, and he has a lot of videos from all those years. I guess he lasted.

    NG Slots is lying, it's that simple or he's in severe debt and we are gonna see him implode financially. But no, he's doing well for himself.

    You can use various calculators online to check how much a youtuber is making from just straight views, not including other sources of funding that comes along with having hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

    Amusingly slotmassacres latest vid talks about him needing to get his subscriber amount up. He's getting over 100,000 unique hits a month but not translating it into subs.

    I’ve questioned him on his “transparency” claims a few times. He claims he loses $300,000 every year but never talks about his YouTube return $$$. He’s also said his yearly losses were 300k, 400k, 500k. It’s never clear if he means just slots or includes table losses. Ultimately he says his YouTube channel does not cover his losses.

    I stopped watching him. NG Slots, all he does is complain about how the slots are rigged, turned off, “something’s wrong”, “never playing at Cosmo again” etc. He’s usually back there a week later.

    Nauseating.

    He also fails to mention some of his huge wins when he makes these claims about rigged slots.

    Really? I watch a lot of NG’s videos and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him complain about them being “rigged.”

    He’s actually one of my favorite slot YouTubers precisely because he rarely whines when he loses huge sums of money.

    As for the SlotLady/ACA channel, it’s almost a complete waste now that it’s mostly that Vic guy whining about losing all the time (even when he’s winning) and Sarah seems to have stopped producing any content.

    I agree with you 110%. I’ve never heard him complain except for minor disappointments when his bonuses are duds. Vic from Sarah’s new channel “All Casino Games” (formerly known as slot lady channel) is so annoying to listen to. He complains so much.

    His whining is way over the top. Even worse, they have so many subscribers they feel like they can respond rudely when people mention the negativity. I get not being chipper if you're losing but even the hands he wins he complains about. Things like, Oh, paired my aces on the flop, let's see how I get beaten this time. It's just non-stop. It may have gotten a tiny bit better lately which I think is due to viewers complaining but he's having a hard time with it.

    It's clear Vic went back to the WoD UTH page as he's started to count his outs at least some of the time. It usually comes with a remark about having to play it even though he's going to lose. Then when he wins, he hardly acknowledges it and if he loses, he knew it was the wrong thing to do.

    Unfortunately, I don't see any others regularly playing UTH on YouTube so I've stuck around for now.

    I think he's her boyfriend/husband. They were asked early on in a non gambling chat stream and they responded strangely then said they're not going to get into their private lives. Simple answer, easy to say no if no is the answer. That was one of the first indications but there are plenty of others as well. I'm thinking they may prefer men thinking she's single.

    I really don't understand why she's not playing. People ask for her regularly and she participates in the chat during live streams so it's not like she's unavailable. Why not just show up for an hour and play some cards. At least occasionally.

    It appears that Lady Luck has taken over Slot Lady's position as famous female slot uploader on Youtube. Lady Luck may have even surpassed Slot Lady.

    Oh my. A lot. The words “no way is this normal” and “there’s something wrong with these slots” and “turned off” has probably been said 10-20 times this month alone. It’s gotten to the point that he takes his player card out sometimes, thinking his “payouts” are being stifled because he’s being tracked. He also says the casinos can do whatever they want as it relates to slot hold. Which is untrue.

    I’ve watched him enough times. Some of it is typical slot player complaining. Other times he thinks he’s genuinely being taken.

    Here…start it at 10:15. This is just ONE example of many times this month where his complaining turns me off. There was one episode about 2-3 weeks ago where he says “no way, my friends, there is something wrong with this slot”. The very next spin he hits the bonus and wins $6,200. Gimme a break.

    I went to the meet and greet. They were both friendly. They wore their masks the whole time so it was awkward taking pictures.
    Victor said he was from Canada. That links up with what she said in the recent live chat that he has been behind the scenes for a long time.
    I like Sarah. She is not obsequious. I was a patreon member until All Casino Action came along.
    Why would she trash a brand that she built up over the years?
    El Cortez was good to her. The even had signs on some of their machines that said “Slot Lady’s Favorite.”
    Victor always over talks in their live streams. It looks like she gets frustrated by it.
    I don’t watch the channel much anymore.

    She was better off on her own. She didn’t need a side kick unless she needed a side kick. Last time I saw her filming was when she decided to suspend her channel. She seemed very morose and depressed.

    Some of these slot players are filming so many sessions…I begin to wonder if they are having fun or is it merely “business”.

    Slotlady and cohort did do a live chat a couple of days ago when they announced they were scaling back their number of videos because of losses.

    I've lost interest in Slotmassacre when he started playing different video poker games and admitted he didnt know the correct strategy. And now he's playing table games with the hostess of another YouTube channel in an apparent play to gain viewers.

    They're all getting boring now.

    I like Random Slots for the game history-style of presenting the slots. He also has a formula: Play until he doubles, gets a bonus, or busts out ("goose").

    He did a couple videos as "Professor Random" — is his video on volatility accurate?

    One clickbait tactic I see NG Slot doing is he will title the video, "BIGGEST JACKPOT OF MY LIFE on Huff n Puff" so most people will see that title thinking it's his all time best jackpot, when in fact it's only his best jackpot for that one particular game of Huff and Puff, which might end up only being $8,000.00 or something.

    On another note, I think NG Slot's all time biggest jackpot is only $55,000.00. I say "only" but when you consider this dude has been playing slots every day for years, constantly making high limit bets like sometimes $250.00 a spin, it's kinda scary that $55,000.00 is the best he's ever hit! Just goes to show you that all those jackpots you see displayed on machines for $100,000.00+ are a total pipe dream to hit.

I say "only" but when you consider this dude has been playing slots every day for years, constantly making high limit bets like sometimes $250.00 a spin, it's kinda scary that $55,000.00 is the best he's ever hit! Just goes to show you that all those jackpots you see displayed on machines for $100,000.00+ are a total pipe dream to hit.

    Yeah..I lost interest in his channel too. Too much clickbait crap and he was also interrupting videos with a snippet of his next session video. I liked to watch but didn’t want to know outcome. He started signaling his next session videos that were coming up. He’s also doing what he claimed he would never do…uploading snippets of wins instead of the full session.

    He’s also constantly moaning “something is wrong with these slots” when he burns thru $5,000…when he knows the nature of high limit slots is one bonus or line hit at $100/spin can mean the difference between winning and losing. He seems dumbfounded when he doesn’t get something “good”.

    I can think of at least one male youtube slot channel host who would probably wear such an outfit if requested.
    May the cards fall in your favor.

    So I've been watching two other ladies on youtube recently since it appears Slotlady's video career is dead. Lucky Lee and Beyond Blackjack. Lucky Lee's personality is a bit annoying and she's even worse than Slotlady for playing all the fucking side bets in every game. But the plus side is she plays a true variety of table games and imho even better she's one of the few playing pai gow poker, a game I really enjoy watching people play.

    Lucky Lee is the opposite of Victor, too much positivity. Loses 10 hands in a row, "That's ok, that's ok!" She's kind of squeaky but but overall her positivity and energy is preferable to Victor. I watch Beyond Blackjack too and love that she includes High Card Flush/I Luv Suits. I just wish her videos were longer than 20ish minutes. I feel like more of the gaming YouTubers have been playing UTH lately. Perhaps in response to All Casino Action telling people we were stuck with them because they're the only ones who do it regularly. Although they've tailed off a ton, I haven't watched the video with their why. A guy named Brandon O'Brien has also begun streaming UTH. He plays for long periods which I love although I generally need to watch his streams in chunks due to time. I'll throw out Slotty D as well, she posts a lot of videos and occasionally UTH.

    I just watched Slot Lady's latest video where she addresses accusations made about her in another YouTuber's video. I hadn't seen anything about it but her drawing attention to it makes me want to check it out. Anyone know whose video she's referring to?

    EZ Life Slot Jackpot. It's a good one imo, exposes what a lot of people already knew about her. She didn't even address some of the things in her video EZ brought up, like how she lied to her fans about who Jenny is, she lied about changing to All Casino Action to "features smaller content creators", etc.

    One thing I've learned is that this youtuber business is really a cutthroat business. There are cliques, alliances and attacks on independent youtubers. It's a tough way to make a living because they're in a constant battle for viewers as well as battling negative expectation games.

    It's a tough way to make a living. I dont admire any of them for the hard time they endure.

    I used to think anonymous gambling forums were hostile. You want to experience hostility? Start your own YouTube channel!

    If there isn't already lots of professional advice about the problems of dealing with a public following, I will eat my hat. Probably could find some books on it.

    My guess is there are things you address, and some things best to ignore. But I would want experienced advice rather than guessing myself.
    There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

    Bad things happen once you go viral, but will the good outweigh the bad? You'll end up in a world that is half for you and half against you.

    How is his betting? Is he another one of those that cannot risk the side bets?

    The same can be said about posting on a controversial subject on a forum.

    People are strange.

    YouTube just disabled the Dislike button so seeing the ratio for crap videos is no longer possible, except to the creator.

    Did they disable the dislike button, or just the publicly visible dislike counter?

    I usually find that I get more useful information from naysayers than fans.

    "SMASH THAT 'LIKE' BUTTON!"
    They disabled the public counter for the Dislike Button.

    Anyone else notice how they no longer put Sarah or Vic’s headshot in the video thumbnail anymore?

    I’m wondering if that is because videos without Sarah don’t get as many views… I certainly cannot stomach watching one of Vic’s whiny solo videos.

    I'm starting to watch John's World of Video Poker.

    He talks about finding hot machines and when they start paying to move up to higher denominations.

    The voodoo is disguised by his discussion of proper strategy for Bonus poker. But I find him playing 7/5 at casinos where I know 8/5:Bonus is available.

    The latest advice from John's World is to play less than full coins in high limit machines to build up your "courage" to play high limits.

    That certainly sounds like a plausible explanation.
