Where do you estimate you stand for your gambling career? Comps don't count. Cashback, freeplay, and other casino currency do.

Over the past 10 years, way ahead. Lifetime, WAY behind.

Lifetime, way ahead. Last three years, barely ahead. (1995-2005 was the golden age of video poker.)

I can't give you lifetime yet, at least I hope not.

But last 5 years according to my win/loss I average about a 10% win. 2010 don't know yet.
I have a bewitched egg that I use to play VP with and I have net over 900k with it.

Sorry 10% win over what had been wagered. A well placed RF helps.

Mind you if I was intelligent enough years ago to track my play I'm sure it was ugly.

You win a net of 10% of the total amount of all of your wagers??? That sounds as if you should pass up on tedious opportunities like just printing money and instead gamble full time. Need an assistant? With that kind of payout, I might just be willing to follow your system while betting your money for you -- only a modest commission required provided there is adequate action. Or did I misunderstand something?

I think you need more options, lifetime would be seven figures and I'm sure I'm not the only one here.

Both. And maybe in the same lifetime.

I had an acquaintance who went the printing money route. He had 3 great years followed by 7 significantly unpleasant years.

I could use an assistant however 2 very good years made up for 3 bad ones so your commission on those bad years would be less than satisfying. I fully well know I am due for a good whooping sometime soon to even out the gambling universe.

I track this by state/region.

Vegas: Down a few hundred, only been there twice
Reno/Tahoe: Up several thousand, done very well there
Wendover: Down about a grand, only been once, don't need to go back
Oregon: Up a few hundred, only been there once
Washington: Down a thousand or so, but have had some wild swings on individual trips
San Diego area: Very close to flat
New Mexico: Up a few hundred
Colorado: Was up a lot, now down a little
Kansas City area: Flat (only been once, was within $20 of flat)
Mississippi: Way down, but finally made some of it back the last time I was there
Chicago area: Up in Illinois. Way, way down on the Indiana side.
Macau: Down about $150, was worth the experience
