Hi Gang:
The holiday angels continue to sit our shoulders as Hedy and I made it seven
royals in eight weeks this past Friday at Harrah's in AC and, believe it or
not, it was another DEALT one. I got it this time (Hedy's was two weeks ago)
and it again came on 50-cent DDB, making it four 2G royals for us in the last
four weeks.
That's the good news. The bad news is that we were down just under $2,000
when I hit it, so it bailed us out of a big hole and allowed us to show a small
profit for the two nights we spent at Harrah's.
Our first day in town (Thursday) turned out to be OK, thanks to Hedy. I
couldn't get a quad to save my soul but the Headster was rockin' and rollin' with
aces twice for $400 on 50-cent DDB and fours with a kicker for another $400.
I finally made a contribution when I switched to DJ and hit five jacks for
$250. The day ended with us down just under 100 bucks for the session.
Friday started out badly and then got worse. When we lost $500 before
breakfast we figured maybe our recent run of good luck was finally running out.
Another $500 disappeared quickly when we returned and we took a break around
midday down one marker, $1,500. We thought about quitting and not making
this loss any worse, but figured we'd try one more marker and hope that our luck
would turn around. It didn't until I switched machines to play the one on
the far right at the bank where we usually play.
I hit quad kings to give me a little ammunition, then about 15 minutes later
I hit the draw button and up popped the J-A-K-Q-10 of clubs, a DEALT royal!!
Oh, my God! All our losses wiped away in one fell swoop.
It was my eighth dealt royal, the second on this bank this year, and
continued an exceptional streak Hedy and I have been on.
For the record, it breaks down this way:
10/31 -- Tom, 2G royal with 2-card draw.
11/7 -- Tom 1G royal on 1st line of Multi-Strike, four-card draw.
11/15 -- Hedy 1G royal on triple play, 2-card draw
11/28 -- Hedy 2G royal, 3-card draw.
12/7 -- Hedy 2G royal dealt.
12/13 -- Tom 2G royal, one-card draw.
12/19 -- Tom 2G royal dealt.
So, we head into the final days of 2007 with a chance to finish the year in
the black (with cashback). We'll be back next Friday, spending two nights at
the Borgata then back at Harrah's for the New Year's Eve celebration.
We'll see if the holiday angels are still hanging with the Vee's!
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy
