WVU Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 This is what the Vegas shooter said he was churning through video poker machines back in 2013. He claims he was the biggest video poker player in the world: He described himself as being, at one point, the "biggest video poker player in the world.""How do I know that?" Paddock asked rhetorically. "Because I know some of the video poker players that play big. Nobody played as much and as long as I did."At the height of his play in 2006, he testified, "I averaged 14 hours a day, 365 days a year.""I'll gamble all night," he said. "I sleep during the day."Asked if he ever visited the hotel pool, Paddock replied, "I do not do sun."Paddock said he rarely drank alcohol when he gambled, because "at the stakes I play, you want to have all your wits about you, or as much wit as I have.""Each time I push the button, it will range from $100 to $1,350," he said.A lawyer asked how much he could end up betting on a given night."A million dollars," Paddock replied."That's a lot of money," the lawyer said."No, it's not," Paddock said.

MadTiger Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Looking at the payout percentages, he was right in that "No, it's not." Say he has a "normal" night playing Deuces Wild. $1,000,000 x (1-0.990251) = -$9,947 There are plenty of people here who punt that playing poker and sportsbetting, besides video poker, blackjack, and other table games. Not me, but there are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I thought RMI was the supreme poker player in all the land? Maybe he is now, being that the real king of VP is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHHEAD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 On MID-high limits such as, for example, $5 FIVE-PLAY, one is risking $125 per hand........at 600 hands per hour, that's $75,000 coin-in. Roughly 13 hours of play on a $5 FIVE-PLAY will generate roughly ONE MILLION coin-in(13 x 75k = $975,000 coin-in) Several, several occasions over the years have generated 500k+ coin-in one day on VP, with some days topping one million coin-in, and any notable pro over the years as done likewise(as well as MANY non-pro degenerates and/or recreational players).

FISHHEAD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Fish will not allow someone , dead or alive , out do himThere are several(meaning at least 25) VP pros that have generated much more volume over the years than me on VPoker......, be it on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or in a lifetime.

They also have $10 TEN-PLAY, and I'm sure the SHOOTER put hoards of hours in on that..............with that game, one can generate roughly 300k coin-in per hour.

FISHHEAD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Imo, the shooter is probably understating his yearly volume of coin-in some years at 200 million, if he indeed stated that................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SHOOTER was banned from drawings at Wynn after winning a few and then winning a big one valued at 125Kish.............

FISHHEAD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 he did indeed state that, but it was in 2013............and he didn't move to Nevada until 2015. Nevada provides much better opportunity's for coin-in volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVU Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 200 million in coin in at .2% player advantage (estimate) is only 400k. Sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
