- It seems like more you bet in any game, the less wins you get - amoxy Sep 9, 12:37 5
  - I don't pay to much attention, I just autospin and have it play in the background - znufrii Sep 9, 12:38 4
    - Wow, how much money are you betting? - amoxy Sep 9, 12:41 3
      - usually 5 or 10 per line, depending on how much I have to work with that day, 20 if I hit a particularly large bonus. - znufrii Sep 9, 12:44 2
        
        this is me too ... usually ... although sometimes I like to go crazy and bet 1700 or 3000 - just to see if it'll hit -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 12:50 1
        
        Since I got up around level 133 it seems like I'm hitting way fewer bonuses - or the odds have changed in general. Also, - Meg Sep 9, 12:58

- I don't know what this is -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 12:33
- This is a 'personal property' tax, right? Even after the car is paid off and everything, you still pay taxes on it? - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 12:33 3
  - Yes. -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 12:33 2
    - I would appreciate it if you posted nothing further on this concept. Like, at all. - con_carne Sep 9, 12:36 1

Looking closer at the role of life insurance in military suicides -- (link) - con_carne Sep 9, 12:25 4
- suicide is covered by military insurance? I thought that was a non-payout event? -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 12:27 3
  - Generally, I think so - but I can think of good reasons why it would be covered for military -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 12:35
  - Folks can correct me on this, but it sure seems to be in most other policies -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 12:34 1

- The NYG-DAL game was atrocious, on both sides of the ball. -- nm - Shaun Sep 9, 12:03

Kelly, PCN is an abbreviation that is used. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 11:49 2
- Ok, so an EMT/member of hospital staff will get this immediately? Great. Thanks. -- nm - kelly Sep 9, 12:19 1

  - You'd have to really hate your kid to do that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 12:00 1
    - Please. Parents use their kids all the time in manipulative ways. (Plus, like I said, it could be subliminal.) - JaxSean Sep 9, 12:14
  - that's what I said on B2. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 9, 11:44 6
    - Very well could be. You'd think a single guy who doesn't want committment would be able to sniff that out pretty quickly though. -- nm - Inigo Sep 9, 11:47 5
