How do you record your jackpots?
I asked this once before, but it was an offhand mention of it in another forum. Figured I'd pose the question to a larger audience.
If you hit, say, quads for a $1,500 jackpot, how do you account for it in your records? Seems like since they take a rake for it, you should include it in your overall winnings, but it can really skew your hourly rate. May be a stupid question, but I've hit three this year and wonder if I should account for them in my normal stats or keep them separate so as not to "falsely" inflate my numbers. Thanks, Mike |

Re: How do you record your jackpots?
I would not include it unless you're doing so over some obscene number of hands. You do have some equity in jackpots so it will afect your true win rate, however, the effect that it has will be miniscule. If I were you I'd just leave it out when trying to calculate a win rate.

We should all have your problem.
I don't count jackpots (I've only hit one). I don't count bonuse whoring in my online winrate, either. |

They haven't been massive bad-beat jackpots, just Monte Carlo bonuses for quads. The biggest was $1500. The others were far smaller, so it's not like tens of thousands of dollars.
Not that I'm complaining. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks for the response. |

Re: How do you record your jackpots?
I have a few different win rates.
One of which excludes all bonus. One of which includes all expenses (valet, food, tips) etc. |

Re: How do you record your jackpots?
You are paying the jackpot drop which negatively affects your win rate so simply excluding jackpots doesn't feel right.

Re: How do you record your jackpots?
My register simply has an extra line after the days listing were I record Jackpot and the amount for tax purposes. The figure is not used in any other calculation. If you take my two listings, one tableshare, and one small end and then calculate the number of hands played, I'm still be pillfered.
