The Bride Of Bulletman
Let's soar with the eagles in this chapter, shall we? I had a choice to make here and I'm making a choice that is a little uncharacteristic of me. You see, the typical chapter I had in mind for this section would detail the philosophy and strategies of players who, like myself, play cautiously and think of themselves as mundane exploiters of possible player edges. While the mathematics of video poker is clear—proper play on full-pay machines will yield long-term wins, there's nothing spectacular or elevating in that and nothing all that unusual in someone achieving wins playing the proper strategies on the right machines. It's a given.
However, Chapter Eleven may have been a somewhat depressing read, especially for Atlantic City video-poker players. The distinct possibility that you are playing slot machines in video-poker machines' clothing is no doubt an irksome, pehaps deflating, thought. But take heart. Despite this, some people do well in Atlantic City video-poker games. As you will see in this chapter, at least one player has intuitively grasped the nature of the machines in this venue and has selected her game and the locations of her machines inside the casino accordingly. If there is such a thing as a "gambling instinct," this lady possesses it. She is truly the most devastating player to hit Atlantic City in the past decade.
So meet Angela and her husband Phil.. .ah? Smith! Angela teaches elementary school on Long Island, New York. She's been doing so for some 20 years. Her husband is also a teacher, in a high school, but his gaming claim to fame concerns the fact that he was the renowned "Bulletman" of football handicapping lore. I know Bulletman because he is an aficionado of the Captain's craps systems and we have had many interesting conversations concerning the Captain and his ideas.
However, Angela is the focus here because Angela is unique among Atlantic City video-poker players. For example, in 12 recent trips to Atlantic City, she has won the progressive jackpots on joker-poker machines 13 times! In addition to this, for the past six years Angela has not had a single losing trip to the resort town by the ocean. That is remarkable. That is unheard of. That is why I want to profile her—despite the fact that she probably violates all the rules I've set down for proper play; despite the fact that she relies on "intuition" as much as on logic and computer studies.
