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

Heh, I never thought I would have made a who's-who thread when it comes to "Winner Screenshots" ... :D

Suffice it to say, I play blackjack 95% of the time (if not more) and currently stand at around 90% profit over the total of 3 years. Very few screenshots because of that, but the credit card bills are finally under control. :cool:

Again, kudos to johnsteed for yet another interesting list. :thumbsup:
 
Hi Johnsteed

Well I finally made one of your lists, GREAT!!

Not to nit pick but I think you missed my post of 27/12 05 where I posted a win of 5000. Probably would have pushed me up the table a little.

I play blackjack for the vast majority of time and this does restrict my opportunities to post on the "Winners" thread. I might start posting smaller wins though if I can get onto your lists. eg won 750 at Littlewoods last night and 300 at Inter tonight.

Keep up the good work.

Mitch
 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, time to make the change...

Hi Mitch :) ,


There's a good reason for that. I did notice that run, but I hadn't included it because it was wins over successive hands, not off of one hit. I believe I voided some of GrandMaster's as well as Dirk Diggler's posts based on just that.


If I did include your win of 5,000 GBP posted in '05, this is what we would come up with:


MITCH​


Posts made: 4
Recorded amount won: $15,891.02
Biggest win: $6,250 (April)
Best month: December ($8,641.02)



So looking at that, we know that your biggest hit was for $6,250.00, yet your biggest amount won in a single post is in the amount of 5,000 GBP/$8,641.02. I went over this back-and-fourth, but I couldn't add that because that would throw everything off. While you did provide a screenshot of your logs, I didn't categorize it as being a single hit recorded.


If I were to include your wins (off a incredible run of BJ :notworthy ), I would have to consider the CREDITS/COINS indicator taking precedence over the WIN indicator for each screenshot taken. If that were the case, I'm afraid this whole list would be out-of-whack. Examples of this:


- "Bing's" CREDITS/COINS indicator (not the WIN indicator) in his/her screenshots routinely shows that he/she was (generally) wavering between $10,000 - $30,000 (as high as $44,165.00!!).


- For the 12 posts that he/she donated to the WINNER SCREENSHOTS thread, IF we tabulated his/her posts together (using the CREDITS/COINS indicator) as opposed to the accumulation of single wins, he/she'd be sitting at precisely $285,683.75 ($106,438.75 at Maple Casino and $179,245.00 at 32Red) in winnings.


Now, we know he/she didn't drop back down to $0.00 after each time he/she posted a winning screenshot. He/she was on a roll, building-up his/her unbelievable bankroll (i.e. CREDITS). Allowing the accumulation (addition) of each indicated credit amount (over single wins) would be incredibly unfair. Although it's not the same case as with you, it's not that far off either. Again, to be clear, we're not looking at the session as a whole, but the big hits that happened along the way.


Sidenote: Not only would I love to have known when member were playing in GBP as opposed to USD, but I'd love to know who's a he or a she, but that's just me you see.


***


In the end though, after second thought, I could include wins for Hands #2 (2,000.00 GBP), #3 (1,000.00 GBP), #5 (1,000.00 GBP), and #8 (2,000.00 GBP), because those would count as 4 seperate wins/hits (6,000 GBP). Thus, taking you to this:

Final edit...

MITCH​


Posts made: 4
Recorded amount won: $17,620.13
Biggest win: $6,250.00 (April)
Best month: December ($10,370.13)



If I had included this, you would now have to be considered on the "Top-20 Champions List", moving you to #18 on that list (bumping the Casinomeister down to #19... these alterations will be our downfall :axeman: )


For good measures, if we were to include logs of gameplay over successive hands, I would think that a thread of "WINNER SESSIONS" as opposed to "WINNER SCREENSHOTS" should be created. At least to me, I think of these winner screenshots as being photos taken of single hits (although not everyone will agree with this).

Thanks for the feedback people :) , and that was one great run Mitch! :thumbsup:

Lol!!!

Brilliant Work!!!! :notworthy:

I feel slightly queasy thinking "where did all the money go!?!??!", but great fun to re-cap nonetheless!! I'm amazed at September too - I had no idea!!! I'm guessing that was the month I hit the crazy cocktail glasses in the free spins at Ladies Nite, and when I lined up the five wilds at Tomb Raider... Happy happy days!

Just FYI, you're absolutely right in that I play in GBP at all casino's I'm registered at (with the exception of InetBet, but not much chance of a winner screenshot for me there :rolleyes: heh hee...)

You're a legend Mr Steed. I'm off to ponder what I could've done with all those wins in Vegas baby!!!!

Cheers!

Best of luck...

Wow, I'm sooooo jealous. :cool: I love VEGAS. Always a great time. High-rolling, or low-rolling, or not at all, fun any-which-way. I could sit there talking with friends, playing at the $1-min BJ table w/free drinks, all night/all week long. :D

Well, I wish you good look. :thumbsup:

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.
I cant seem to get my screenshots right, always when I shrink them the clarity really goes down. Thanks for listing anyway.
 
jonevegas I use infraview for screenshots. I am not a computer guru so I find it easy. Google it and download. Then on your next win hit print screen minimize the casino, edit- paste- imiage resize to 640/480 and then save as. Just be sure when you save it you save it as a jpeg file. You'll love it and be posting great wins in no time!!
 
I use a Mac, so it's very easy of course:D just use the Mac OS grab utility to capture the screen, a window, or a rectangle area and resize, save it as a file.

However, that's not a very helpful comment if you run Windows. When I did have a Windows PC, I used Screenhunter. It's free, and it's real easy to use, I loved it. I recommend it for anyone with screenshot trouble. Of course, you could always use print-screen function and then use Screenhunter to select the appropriate area of the screen shot to save as a file.

Screenhunter can be found here:

Opps, that's why you're the Master. Thanks. I think you were the one who told me about that program some time ago. I think it is much easier than using paint. Thanks for the spelling correction.
 
I have "lost" my Paint program from XP, it's not on my computer anywhere. I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I went to save a screenshot for the Slotjunkies comp. How does a whole program just go missing from your computer, that's what I'd like to know. I ended up using Microsoft Photo Editor? Didn't even know if it would work, but lucky for me it seemed to work fine. I suspect that my five-year old may have had something to do with it, but not positive.
 
mr steed, may i ask who you prefer? Joanna or Honour Blackman ( me personally it must be Joanna... ever since she stripped for children in need :xxx )

Any way back on topic you mispelled my name :what: you missed the "c" out

and i also play in as well apart from inter us and my vegas palms win :thumbsup:

Hello "andyhinckley", and my apologies about the "c" part. I have nada-clue as to who uses GBP over USD, but thank you for telling me. That means you were doubly productive. :D

"Mr. Steed", may i ask who you prefer? Joanna or Honour Blackman (me personally it must be Joanna... ever since she stripped for children in need).


All the Avengers leading ladies were beautiful, even Linda Thorston.

But, please. At all of their peaks, there's only one obvious choice... Mrs. Emma Peel. :notworthy

Sidenote: This photo was taken from a scene in the movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", in which "Dame" Diana Rigg was to the play the only "Mrs. (Tracy) Bond" in any of the Bond movies. Tragic ending...


But to answer your question, Blackman versus Joanna... Joanna.

Seems like my intro to English TV was "The Avengers" and "Secret Agent Man"...both great...but SAM got a little complicated.

Finally, we got "Monty Python", "Benny Hill" and later..."Fawlty Towers".

Fawlty Towers - PURE GENIUS!!!!

i can watch it over and over and over again and i still split my sides - the funniest tv programme ever to grace british tv :lolup: :lolup: :lolup:

3 of my favourite scenes:

(i) THE GERMANS are sitting down for dinner and Basil is constantly making references to WW2, when the fed up German asks Basil to stop going on about the war, Basil kindly reminds him that they started it. “We did not start it,” protests the German. “Yes you did, you invaded Poland”, replies Basil!

(ii) THE GERMANS are ordering from their menu - BASIL: Okay, so that's two eggs mayonnaise, a Prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering, and four Colditz salads.
GERMAN: A Prawn Cocktail!
BASIL: Yes, yes…Eva Prawn…

(iii) THE GERMANS - Basil in hospital as the nurse puts him in bed.
BASIL: (nurse leaning over him) By god you're ugly aren't you!
SYBILL: Basil!
NURSE: I'll get the doctor. (rushing out the door)
BASIL: You need more than a doctor love, more like a plastic surgeon!

QUALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Wow!

Thanks for putting together this awesome list! Let's all keep it rolling through 2006!! The holiday madness is finally coming to a close, so I think it's about time to start winning again!

I LOVE the idea of winning session screenshots, but I don't know how to do it. I doubt anybody would want to see six pages of playcheck :) (or worse yet, a bazillion pages off of the PlayTech sites)

(lol) Yes, I guess "WINNER SCREEN-SESSIONS" isn't quite so catchy. And it would be an absolute bitch having to save the PlayTech history logs that only save up to 31 of your most recent hands/plays/spins (whew-hoo!!!).

What I had meant by "winning sessions" (w/shots) was stating how much you had deposited (prior to the session), and then showing your end result (w/photo). Never as exciting as a "Winner Screenshots", but it's nice to see the end result of someone who went on a wonderful run at BJ, roulette, or whatever game... We don't really read about that here. For instance, I saw that BING was up to $45,000 at one point at 32Red, it would be great to see what he had finished with. At least to me, when I think of "Winner Screenshots", I think of a) slots and then b) VP.
