Ednar used to live in the Chicago area and he is a very knowledgeable
player (Probably well into the top 10% of the active members in this
group!). Actually there is still one single line .05 game in the Chicago
Area (Since it takes 10-45 coins for full pay it really should be
considered a .10 to .45 game I guess) that is a positive play (barely)
counting the cash back but not bounce back.

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Re: Ednar's Royal DroughtIf you are playing .05c, you are most likely playing a negative game.
If you do not recognize this, then possible you are also playing
negative 25c games.
This would account for losses, but not for a lack of royals.>I am glad I am only playing .05 and .25!!!!
