How worth it is it?

I guess you can say I am playing bonus whore for this one... .

But I am planning on going that weekend / week... and if going to the day is going to offer me that much more benefit, I will go during the day...

Is working your real job on Thursday or Friday important to you, or can you just shuck your responsibilities and go gamble?

No, Arc, he actually believes (or at least asserts) that multiline has LESS variance.

What real job?

Mr marcus, you have me all wrong... that one thread about hitting a royal on a multi line machine.... I was simply pointing out that no one should assume just because they are on a multi line machine does not mean they are going to draw to more royals, the odds are all the same...

Bet $25 on a single line and get nothing you loose $25
Bet $25 on a 5 line and get 1 x JoB and 1 Two Pair = $15... you loose $10...

Less Variance...

Am I wrong?

If you bet the same amount on multi-line vs. single line (5x$1 vs $5) the variance is less. If you bet the same on each line (5x$1 vs. $1) the variance is more.

Correct...

I may have mistyped in that other thread now that I think of it...

But staying at the same dollar amount total bet the variance is less...

ie... $1 single line ($5 a bet)... or 100 play $0.01 = $5 max bet... You will play quite a bit longer on a 100 play penny machine betting $5 a hand then you will on a $1 single line machine...

Thanks arc, you get me...

Uh, and I quote:

the real questions are these:

1. what gas company are the cards good for? my car does not like ARCO.

2. are there better incentives on different days to go play?

And how is that not less variance if I am going to be playing up to $5 VP ($25 a push)...

I guess looking at my original post I did not put $5 level... If My bankroll is permitting, I would play the $5 level... At this time, my bankroll may only be good for $1-$2 level for that trip... but possibly $5...


PLUS - If someone wanted to play at a $25 a push level... a 5 line $1 machine would have less variance than a 1 line $5 machine... So for the sake of bonus whoring, if you wanted to play $125 a hand... your bankroll will go farther playing 100 play $0.25 machine than playing 1 line $25 machine...
