FSP strategy ideas

#1

With $1000 in free slot play (Caesars AC) and ~6 hours to use it, I'd like to hear what folks think would be the best strategy to maximize the value. I usually play $2 single line or $1 triple play. (Backed off the $5 and up due to the painful tax consequences.)

Would it be better to maximize the playing time at lower denoms, or take a shot at the $5/10 games? Or, since it is Caesars, where the VP is not great, just suck it up and hit the slots to maximize the points earnings?

I've tried a variety of methods, but would like to hear what others think.

Thanks

HUH? Just me being me......I would happily pay the taxes on $5 & up royals EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.
BUT, that's just me. :slight_smile:

The question is mute. $1K action takes 15 minutes on the 9/6 JB TP.

Gamble at a slot machine and you will hit a jackpot and get a W2:-)

It is a great offer. Break a leg.

Nita,

The 9/5 $1/$2 JB Spinpoker (2 slant top machines still, outside the Palace H/L along the aisle adjacent to the restrooms) are a very viable play for this.

Personally, I'd play a single line ... 200 plays and cash out.

Assume the concern isn't with RF w-2G's, but with those issued on lower level hits (SF's, multiline quads, etc). They don't represent profit, but serve to inflate AGI and can reduce legitimate deductions via phase-outs, etc.

You nailed it Harry, as always :wink: 2006/7 was my eye-opener. $860K in W2Gs, a net loss of $30K, and a tax bill that got inflated by over $26K because of the AGI impact. Having that huge stack of paperwork, without the actual wins, made me re-think my play.

I has been interesting to hear everyone's perspectives, though!
