2017 VF Spring Fling Losers Thread

I'm one of the big losers this weekend. Slots and VP killed me. My plan was to play mostly tables, which I should have stuck to, as tables were actually pretty good. My downfall was my solo sessions. Whenever I broke away from my group, I hit the slots/VP...it was a mistake every time. Small handpays can't make a winner, unless you hit them repetitively, or quit right away when ahead...I wasn't hitting them repetitively, and I'm sure as hell not a quitter...lol.

 

FINALLY, a thread I feel comfortable posting. Haha. For real tho; was great meeting everyone, but this was my worst (gambling) trip to date lol. I can honestly say I was not up ($$$) even one time across the last two weeks. I started tracking my losses day-to-day and then session-to-session just so I could mentally continue enjoying it, haha,

My main vixen this weekend ( after a few gut-wrenching <$80 scatters/bonuses/features (all on $3-20 max bets) ) was the tables. *TWICE* I lost with quads to either a damn higher quad or a straight flush. And as for boats and then 20s in BJ losing....that was just my M.O. for the weekend.

Thankfully, after all was said and done, I was only down $3k but Cosmo was ever so gracious enough to cover all my room charges so that definitely helped me wash the bad taste I developed for the gaming.

 

Good thread. I would have lost $18,276 lol.. BUT still would have been worth it to be with all you degens. Instead probably lost wayyyy more than that in audit..

 

That sucks...hopefully, the audit goes by quick and without much pain.

 

Hope things go better. Look forward to meeting you next time.

 

Good to see this is a short thread, hope I'm the last post. I had an up and down trip this time; down $6k at the low point, up $4.5k at the high point, unfortunately ended up much closer to the former than the latter. It was the usual problem for me, not walking away from a machine when up (or at least before making the losses worse). I should have tried to participate in some of the board organized events to kill time after winning sessions, but will just have to keep that on the list as an aspirational goal for the future (pretty sure it's not a good sign if socializing with a group of self-described Vegas "fanatics" is part of your plan to gamble LESS though).

Some "losers" pics...

 

Here is a small sampling of my near misses, which could have changed the outcome of the trip. I had many other similar situations, but I stopped recording them because I started to feel like I was jinxing myself...lol

 

Woof all those trips and not even one Full House...

 

It does burn when it happens.

 

pffft, I feel like a big man. I would have lost ONLY $18,275

 

Come on folks. Real losers are us who couldn't join.

 

OMG. If you caught just one Ace on the $5 TDB draw, you would be a winner.

 

If I had hit one, I would have immediately quit playing the machines for the trip...at least I hope I would have...lol. That would have definitely allowed me to book a win, assuming more time at the tables would not have a disastrously negative effect. On that $5 triple play, I had one more dealt trip aces and one dealt trip 4's with a 3 kicker...neither of them materialized. There was definitely potential for a great winning trip. I'll just have to save those big hits for next time...lol

 

Normally you don't complain about a straight flush. But that one card would've made a big difference in the weekend.

 

Few of my heart stoppers....

One of these hit and I get a small winning trip, as,opposed to small losing trip

 

@ted_nancy I have same problem. You will think I have learned by now after 15 plus years of heavy gambling but nah~
Last 5 trips, I was up and gave that back and my BR plus ATM. DUH! I KNOW! LOL
To add insult to injury, stupid Aria housekeeping 'TEAM' banging on my door at 9 AM and at the same time supervisor calling and telling me their system is showing I checked out night before (TV was still showing my name when I was dealing with this situation).
Btw, at Aria I could not win anything this year. Not even get any decent coin in, let alone decent bonus. All my winnings were from
Venetian, Cosmo and Mirage. Pretty much I made a profit at other casinos and dumping it at Aria. I decided to take a break from Aria for a while. Customer service blows.

Good Luck everyone on you next adventure!

 

OMG I feel the same about Aria! Even my host was like, honey you don't win here, you may want to consider another MLife property lol!! But she is right! So I'm not back in Vegas until July 4th long break for me! Best of luck!
