Looking forward to the examples, glad Brad is feeling better which helps you feel better also.

“EV” is when we do have health issues and the doctor clears you to fly and enjoy “Senior” buffets. (Enjoyment Value)

Another addition to EV is what I call “earned comps,” where you get something for running X amount of coin-in through a machine. In that case, you figure out the EV of playing the best available machine for the required amount (usually a negative number) and add that to the value of the comp to get your net EV. You have to value the comp at its actual worth to you. For example, Old Fart Day is Wednesday at Coast Casinos. You can play $100 (to earn 100 points) and get a free dinner buffet. If I play the best machines–.25 NSUD at most Coasts–I can lose a theoretical 27 cents and get dinner for that. I would cheerfully pay $10 for, say, the Orleans buffet, so the play is worth $9.73 to me. In contrast, I can actually play $400 on FPDW at Sam’s Town (to earn 100 points at the reduced rate) and get a free dinner buffet, but I doubt I would pay more than fifteen cents to eat at that buffet, so the play is actually worth far less: The inherent EV of the play (about +$3) plus the worth of the (pretty bad) buffet.

The best news you have is that Brad’s health has improved. Now you can concentrate on insuring that your health and well being return to normal. It’s amazing the high you get when you get a major jackpot. This however is nothing compared to the high/relief you get when someone you love, returns to being healthy.

God Bless you both.
