I sat down at a single line $1 9/6 JoB machine and popped in a $100 bill.

next to me is another $1 9/6 JoB machine and I see someone having a little over $500 in the machine.

anyway, I play thru $1000 coin-in to get a freebie. I'm up +$100.
I look over and he only has $200 left.

wow.. is it normal to be -$300 (using Wiz's simple strategy) in 200 hands?

that's nothing. I had 500 hands without seeing anything straight or better and lost $1000.
(The theoretical return would be ~65%)

Even a low-variance game such as JoB can be as evil as something beyond you could imagine.
winning streaks come and go, losing streak never ends.

not normal, but a 30% loss of 1k coin in, is doable. FH adds 10%. approximately 10% for the Flush and straight combine. 5% on the 4k.

3K 2pair and JOB adds 75%. You don't need to miss to many of the 3K 2pair and JOB hands to see a big loss.

In 200 hands its easy to not see a st, fl or fh

especially if they are gaffed ;)

And at least one member knows they are gaffed. But suddenly he is very very quiet.

Thanks Axel.

A few months ago I sat next to a guy and we were both playing 9/6 JOB $1x5. He hit 5 4oaks to my 0 in a span of about 450 hands. Pissed me off. Basically I put $500 into the machine and lost it all and he's gone from $100 up to $500 in credits. But I've also had a few sessions where in 1500 hands or less I've hit 6-8 4oaks.

My girlfriend once got two 4oKs in about 5 plays. I've never got one within 20 plays of the next one.

I got six 4oaks on 9/6 JoB within a few hundred hands. Maximum of 600 hands ($30,000 coin in on 1x$10), but the first 3-400 hands I got nothing. Ended up playing for about 2 hours....much of that time allocated on waiting on hand pays ($1250 for the 4oak).

Very interesting character you are aladyat42.
Why 3 posts , nothing , then 3 years later back at it ?
Just curious, nothing wrong with it, just a bit out of the norm.

You left those unusual original 3 posts alone for a while.
I looked them up.
Now they are deleted.
Interesting. Luckily I saved them in another thread.
Any comments on why you deleted those posts?
Here it is if you need a reminder of what you deleted.

Criticize wife's lack of organizing and housekeeping skills in general. Accepted her dare to trade place ads as that fateful day arrived the stakes had esculated due to my refusal to back dowm. ( short man complex am only 5'3 ) after 3 days of falling in high heels laundry overflowing burnt meals etc I wanted to scream. But determined to finish out the agreed to week. Then my sister gfound out OMG
Long story short. I am now a full time stay at home housewife. my email is aladyat422yahoo.com If reply will secong recent pix have been Chatty Cathy 7 years now.
Will post on forums tomorrow hopefully Have to go. Judy honking horn in driveway.

Variance was good to me yesterday night, I got four 4oak's in a couple of hours playing $1x5 9/6 VP. I was keeping an eye on how many tier credits I earned because there was a promotional drawing, but I don't know exactly how many hands I played. But it was probably about 1.5 hour's worth and the end result was that I cashed out up $ 500. It was pretty good night right from the get-go, I started with a $ 20 buy-in.

Get this, JohnnyQ ... I actually won one of those drawings. $500 Free Play! Of course, it was at Horseshoe Baltimore, not Horseshoe Cleveland. I think that was my first drawing win. I was on the winning "team" for some goofy slot tournament at Horseshoe Cleveland, though -- think that was about $600.
