Milestone Bday @Cosmo --and an Anniversary Too!

“Do You Think I’m Sexy” in a Happy Meal is cracking me up. Retired teacher myself…..I’d go monthly, but hubs is still working. Need to just go alone!

 

I can relate. T thinks 6 trips for me this year is " a tad much" I'm booked for bday trip Sept 3 to 7 with Santana tickets. I'm interested to see what you think of Usher show? Your trip report was fun! Very cool your family joined you!!! Are you going for NYE? My last trip this year should be NYE.

There must be something under it all that I don't understand and so I'm definitely keen to get an education. I generally play higher bet+shorter time and hosts don't like it. But I'm not going to play 4 hours a day so that they do like it.

 

Oooh @Anna T… YOU crack me up. I intentionally saved this for today’s morning read! Having met you, having witness you and your moms hilarious excitement while smashing buttons together has me smiling!! I’m happy you had a great time celebrating!!
Zuma…. Oh Zuma…. I’ve tried both skirt steak and tenderloin….. tenderloin for the win!! Lol. It’s fab!! If you’ve never been… Beauty & Essex is well worth a visit too. It’s my new obsession and will be happily shoving my face full come Oct…. Interesting you mentioned a possible trip in Oct…I hear oct 20th-24th is a wonderful time to visit .. hint hint hint Though, right now the return flight prices… WTH SW….I mean I know Milwaukee is cool and all ( GO BUCKS GO) but damn!!
Anywho girlie , loved the recap, I don’t understand anything about Theo… I’m like you I just sit down, shove money in, hits buttons, order pretty drinks and hope my money lasts!!! Cheers to your aug trip… you are about to see why I never leave chandy… lol.

 

Don't be embarrassed! It is a badge of honour

I really don't know too much about it all, but I do see people with very low coin-in getting treated like a rock-star and I'm used to having to wrestle to get a buffet comp. That presumably is down to them putting the hours in.

Tha casino HAS to use time played x % edge x average bet for any table action. For slots, I guess they have your exact results to the penny, so could run off theoretical value or actual value. After that, I have no idea, so I'm all ears. I've certainly had marathon gambling sessions, but they have always been on my terms. Sometimes on TRs I get the feeling people are more interested in points than prizes.

 

Not broke... don;'t fix I doubt I'm going to like the maths answer, but that's ok also, just curious to know what it is. I'm with you in that I'm just going to do what I want to do, and never what a host wants me to do. If it happens to work out well for offers, I'll be happy. So far, it hasn't. Rare comp'd rooms and a bit of old-fashioned grit to get anything meaningful taken off the back end. Sometimes, I hate doing it, other times it is almost a sport.

 

Yes for the theo number itself, it is that simple. The casino knows how much they expect to win on slot machines. And for most video poker you can calculate it yourself with paytable knowledge. So they just take the machine theoretical hold percentage and multiply by your coin- in to determine your theoretical loss aka "theo".

They also will keep track of your actual win/loss for statistics too.

Yeah how "theo" translates into offers is much more unclear. And I'm clearly not a big enough gambler to give you "personal examples". But one rule of thumb is you should get close to a third of your "theo" back in your room offers, freeplay, charges wiped, etc. A good host might be able to get you a bit more back than that too.

Also what I meant by "trip method" is that Cosmo bases your offers per trip.

So let's say a player creates $1000 of theo over a 3 night stay while another player creates $1000 of theo over a five night stay. At Cosmo these two players should get the same level of offers in their mailers. This is how MLife works too iirc.

But at CET/Eldorado, they are more concerned with "average daily theoretical loss" (ADT). So in that case, a player who has a theo of $1000 over 3 days ($333.33 ADT) will be generally valued higher than a person that has that theo over 5 days ($200 ADT).

 

More than amused Such a great time you have - and I too just push buttons and hope for the best.

 

Only Vegas people understand this. Before covid, we went 6-8 times a year. The closest trips were 10 days apart! We never got tired of going! You go because it’s so much fun, so much to do, great food and drink and the only place you can go on vacation and possibly bring your money back.

Covid changed circumstances for us and we’re doing other things now (besides Vegas), but we’ll always love all of those trips!

Thanks for posting your recap!

 

Us normal degens ….it’s a possibility to bring money back. For you and Ron, it’s a probability!
