I also factor in what I call “spite equity,” which is a very real thing, especially in close quarters like a cruise ship. In short, let’s say I see a Magic Treasures (Money Balls) at 12. On a cruise ship, that would never be worth playing. But you know what, I want to really discourage my competition from finding anything remotely close to +EV.

Don’t bother, buddy. You’re not going to find anything here. You might as well not even stop by the casino and get seconds at the buffet instead.

 

This doesn’t really work at a local casino against real professionals. Some new competition tried doing that and my only thought was “I’m going to get mine. If you want to keep taking stuff earlier, I’m just going to come earlier and stay longer.” So they’re pounding away at 305 megas on Stack Up Pays while I’m soaking up all the EV from things they can’t play while they’re sitting on -EV stuff. It is not worth grinding -EV stuff at your local casino unless you have other reasons.
