A Year In Review of The "WINNER SCREENSHOTS" thread.

[johnsteed]

***


Hello fellow forum members ,


I thought that since we've closed the book on the 2005 season, and now we're starting a new chapter in '06, we should go back one last time and explore who did what in Casinomeister.com's most famous thread, the Winner Screenshots thread.

The "Top-20 "

Winner Screenshots
"CHAMPIONS"

*This "Top-20" ranking is based on who accumulated the most wins in credit, while posting their wins in the Winner Screenshots thread...

Now, we haven't a clue as to who cashed-out at what point, therefore, for all we know, KasinoKing could have accumulated the most winnings this year. I was just tabulating all the posts that were made, and that's all I can go on.

There were a couple of notable omissions.

- Hoffman: Why? Based on rumblings as to whether or not his posting were authentic. We haven't seen him since those accusations have arised, therefore we do not know the legitimacy of his Winner Screenshots. If they are legit (my lord), I do apologize.


- jonevegas: Why? I can't read the winning amounts. I see that he had some MONSTER wins, that were parlayed off of a $59 paycheck (very impressive). I've included his winning $20,000 (I think) in the thread that follows. My apologies to him, because in all likelyhood, he's WAY up on the list above.


Sidenote: I didn't include Simmo's! dream win of $66,241.60 over at 32Red, where in his dream, he managed to line-up 15 Thors on Thunderstruck. If you're curious as to what I'm talking about, check-out the thread, dated Feb. 3rd. In my dreams as well, but during a Free-Spins feature at $45 a spin!


Sidenote II: I didn't count wins from casino tournaments (not that there were many of those in the first place), nor did I count full gambling sessions. IOW, like someone depositing $100, and walking away with $5,000 playing a bunch of BJ over a 6-hour period. That's great! But... that's not REALLY a Winner Screenshot. Or at least, that's not how I perceive it. If the player has a winning hand of BJ, I counted that towards the players winnings (for screenshots). They should make a seperate thread for greatest sessions (has that ever been done here... not so sure?), as opposed to just screenshots.

Who posted the most in "'05"?

The rules are straightforward. This list is for those who've posted the most Winner Screenshots. Now, in the event of a tie, I give the person who had won the most money precedence. Now, let's run-down the list.


#1

Slotster

How many posts: 94
Recorded amount won: $134,197.60
Biggest win: $8,000 (September)
Best month: September ($58,504.05)


While Gramma did come out ahead with those monster progressive wins, I wouldn't hesitate a second to say that Slotster is the most consistent prolific poster in the Winner Screenshots thread for '05.

You want to see how consistent he was? Here we go, let's analyze his winnings by month-by-month breakdown.

January

$9,811.10

February

$6,382.34

March

$6,101.48

April

$7,137.75

May

$4,357.50

June

$18,423.45

July

$9,443.29

August

$2,145.50

September

$58,504.05

October

$4,427.20

November

$382.00

December

$7,082.00

So, for the "2005" season, Slotster averaged $11,183.13 per month. Very impressive. Ignoring the months of November (tragically low), June and especially September (which would have to be considered an aberration/or a magical stroke of genius compared to the rest of the year), Slotster still holds an overly impressive average of $6,320.90 per month. He's the only player that held any kind of consistently throughout the year. He's an MVP. Amazing stuff!!

Sidenote: Slotster's month of September wasn't too far off the mark from matching the total of the first 8 months (prior to his MOLTEN-LAVA hot month).


Sidenote II: Again, when I say that he's consistently winning, we're talking according to what we see from his postings. No one's under the impression that people can consistently win (profit-wise) like that, although... if Slotster IS... he's sooooooo good.

Sidenote: Hello Bing, and so long... He/she slaughtered Maple Casino & 32Red days apart. While we have no idea the amount he would eventually cash-out with, we do know that he got as high as $27,840 at Maple Casino and to $44,165 at 32Red. I'd love to hear how that story ended.

Just out of curiosity, if you were wondering where the Casinomeister himself placed, he would have been #16th with only 10 posts. Goes to show you that he's been REALLY busy (if you compare the Winner Screenshotsthread from '05 to '04). Mr. Bailey recorded winnings of $17,591.58, with his biggest win coming in March at the tune of $3,375.


- silcnlayc: My apologies, because I couldn't quite a couple of your screenshots. Thus, my tabulations on your winners have been left undetermined. I can't make-out posts #2345 as well as #2352.


***

THIS 'N THAT

- "aquag" posted 4 Royal Flushes for a combined $16,000. They all came in November.


- "satori" is really coming on. She had posted a couple of times in April for just over $2,300, and over the past 2 months, she's been on fire recording $3,000 in November, and another $4,152.50 in the cold month of December.


- Another newcomer, "Warrior Cherokee" with the very bright and lively avatar, wielding his magic during the month of December.


"Chill" literally "chilled" over the past several months. The first half of the year, saw Chill win $12,552.50. Since then... (cue... forest sounds)


- "schnozzy" has been hot over the past couple of months as well, having won $13,283.50 since the beginning of November.


- If there was ever a drought in the Winner Screenshots thread, it was in the middle of the year, around mid-June through July. And one could argue that this was the case again in late November through the better part of December. If there was a high time, it was around March-April.


- Creator of the Winner Screenshots thread, polli123 of Germany, made 1 post for the '05 season. The shot needed (needs) to be resized in order to be seen. Oh well, I'm sure if James Naismith (inventor of basketball) were around today, in all likelihood, he wouldn't be able to hang with today's flock of NBA stars.


- When doing the addition for Slotster's and Kasino King's monthly records, I had to convert the U.K. pound into U.S. dollars. I did so by internet, via www.XE.com (a handy tool).


- Beautiful shots: "quber" - the banana avatar that looks cross, lined-up 5 wilds at Tombraider earlier this year. To me, having played SOOOO much of that game, to me, it's probably the most beautiful shot. Also, I'd like to remind some of that "morose" hit for $13,000 at a PlayTech (ditto KK's), playing Chinese Kitchen. Lovely win!!

- "Great luck comes in 4's???" - Amazing, but "aquag" managed to get 4 Royal Flushes around the same time at the beginning of November.

Closing notes: Reviewing all of these winning screenshots, after some time, made me want to ask MG, what's up with not sending a few big hits to John Steed's IP address during what turned-out to be a not so (for me) memorable year. Alas the new year begins, and as I can see, tim5ny has posted the 1st Winner Screenshot. Good luck to everyone in the '06 season!!


John Steed

For example, my biggest win was Great Big British POUNDS! (ap. $1,105)

Non the less - yours was STERLING work!

[cheekymonkey]

[paul02085]

Marvelous effort Steed. Mrs. Peel would be proud.

I nominate Steed for Casinomeister historian going forward.
