Video Poker Results
November 2018 VP data, Bonus Poker, $5.00 per hand. First column is the session number, second column is the profit or loss for that session only, and the third column is the running or cumulative total of Bonus Poker Play. It is originally kept on my log book for the IRS and my records, and then transferred to a spreadsheet not excel but LibreOfficeCalc. The cumulative total seems one row "off" but its how you calculate it in a spreadsheet. So the cumulative total from up to an including session #4, for example, shows up in the cumulative on session 5. Below are session #1 through #15 that I have transferred to the spreadsheet.
Sorry for the formatting. I tried to post them in separate columns that could be easily read. I will work on that and fix it for the next set of results.
Session, Session Profit or Loss, Cumulative Profit or Loss

what is stopping you from showing how many hands you play per each session? is easy to track.Quote: TrackYourResultI'd like to share my video poker results for November and if possilbe, have other post their data as well.
and with the pay table (lots of 8/5 Bonus)
more would be interested in the data
I would think
Was Your $510 session Quad Aces and maybe Quad Queens?

Quote: JohnnyQYep, same question, How long is your typical session ? Continued good luck ( variance ) to ya .
sorry just figured out how to quote the question in the response.
The typical session is a few minutes.

Hello:
Well, I guess nothing but technology is stopping me from tracking the # of hands. Can I automate this? Primarily I am focused on following my plan 100%, regarding when to stop, then recording the results. I am working on eliminating my hazardous tendencies by limiting time. For someone like me, this takes really all of my focus. I would say though that, as you probably already were thinking, except in the case of a larger win like maybe quads or above, i don't play too many hands per session.
And yes that session was a quad aces, on the first hand. After a decade its still fun to see that!
That's a red flag right there. Are you cashing out wins and using $5 bills? If your session is mere minutes, this points strongly to the fact you cannot afford to gamble the stakes you're playing.Quote: TrackYourResultsorry just figured out how to quote the question in the response.

Some have seems to find a little interest. I appreciate your caution but with all due respect, as I see you are quite active on this forum, how can you know my personal fitness for any gambling endeavor unless you know 1. Bankroll and 2 thru etc.: my net worth, time available, relevant expertise, etc. I think what you are trying to say is that whatever you have concluded that I am doing doesn't meet with your idea of what positive expectancy should be. Can we try this? Can we try to just see the results and see what happens? I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks
Of course a red flag is bad. I didn't say you couldn't afford to gamble the stakes you're playing, I said you probably couldn't, though being risk averse is the same thing imo. There really is no point to post results, besides pure entertainment. Otherwise I see no purpose. Tell me the reason you're playing for "mere minutes", I can't think of one not redonkulous and reploppylous.Quote: TrackYourResultHi. Thanks for your response. I don't know what a red flag to you means, maybe its something bad? I apologize if I didn't state this more clearly in the beginning, I am here to post my results. I've been successful in endeavors like gambling and trading so occasionally when I find something interesting I like to share it. It's generated some questions which is fine I can answer them to the best of my ability. And no, I do not know what the outcome will be in real time. I invite you to come along for the ride...and I hope you do.

This is extremely counterintuitive. Someone playing for a very short amount of time is almost certainly betting well within their limits — especially when each bet is relatively low stakes.
Someone playing for long duration would be much more likely to lose more than would be comfortable — even at low stakes.
It's an exception if just on a short term advantage too, but otherwise I think it's a tell. Playing a few minutes means to me otherwise, they're afraid they'll lose either their short term winnings or their stake or both since they're the same thing.Quote: TomGThis is extremely counterintuitive.

Okay, well Im at breakfast in between sessions. I wanted to post results from the past few days but the clean formatting codes will take time to learn . Thanks to the administrator for fixing up my first set of data posts, but I will post when I have time to make it look clean and learn myself.
Probably next few days will post em up. As expected, no big hands equals a bit of a drawdown, but still positive over 31 sessions and counting.
As a shortcut, you can click "Quote" on your original post. This will bring up the reply screen, but it will have all the table formatting codes (along with the rest of your original message). You can just copy/paste these into a fresh "Reply" and then edit it to include your new data. (Or just edit the "Quote" reply.)Quote: TrackYourResultI wanted to post results from the past few days but the clean formatting codes will take time to learn .

really depends on how many hands one plays.Quote: TrackYourResultAs expected, no big hands equals a bit of a drawdown, but still positive over 31 sessions and counting.
one can guess that a session could be between 1 hand or 10,000 hands played.
'still positive' is not a normal (average) result.
are you doing this to show you are always ahead after X sessions played of varying and unknown lengths?
still could be interesting
thank you for sharing
Sally

The amount of time you use to finish a session doesn't tell anything. Even if a session is very short, you can play for a very long duration if you play 1,000 sessions.
if you have it excel, you can get excel to do all the work for you with just a little concatenation. Let me know by PM if you want a template.Quote: TrackYourResultOkay. So here is the next set of combined with the first set.

I use Excel at first, sometimes just notepad++ (I made a macro in notepad for this but...)Quote: OnceDearif you have it excel, you can get excel to do all the work for you with just a little concatenation. Let me know by PM if you want a template.
and place it here
http://miplet.net/table/
this is very useful as it makes ALL the code for the table 4U.
it does have a blank row at the end
I take it out, some leave it in, I left it in here
this is my free play (Video Poker) for the year 2018

see this is really boring cuz I show NO number of hands played.
I think that is on another sheet I have.
Now, on Nov 6th, I was actually DOWN about $300 after my free play, playing 5 cents and 25 cents, I just could NOT get any 4oaks
and hit this (Had an 8 of Hearts and told myself, well, 3 ranks I need one of them)
that made me up $200 for the day
but my Mom wanted to keep playing (as there is NO BACCARAT where we were) and I ended up $71 for the day.
still, I do not play VP unless it IS free play. (at least for 2018 and I do not get much freeplay but I get lucky too)
