Long losing streak

Post by Csak47100 »

Hello

I been on pretty brutal losing streak . I been playing a lot and been on 13 session losing streak with zero win . But coin in is pretty huge it’s about 2 million coin ins total during these 13 sessions . I like to play multi hands machines as much as possible like 100 play is my favorite bit of the casino only has single line for better pay table then I would play single line . But I’m starting to feel that multi lines games are harder to win on machine since royal flush will be much less compared to single line with sand denominations. Do you recommend keep playing multi line ? Also you can pretty much never win a session without royal if you play big enough right ? I would like to keep playing but I just don’t wanna be broke . Lost about 110 k during this losing streak and looking for some advice .

it would help if you would give us the return of the game such as 96 or 99.54?
it would help if you told us the game JoB or triple trouble bonus? oops i mean trouble double bonus
i never play multi hands or super x or any of gimmic crap so i wouldn't know i stick to classic single hand

i recommend you to stick with single hand, play the older machines, and be prepared to lose all
if you hate losing go count cards at blackjack table or play live poker i hear those are lucrative adventure

over everything have fun =)

I play JOB 9-6 , but if it’s unavailable at the casino and if they have good promo or offer then I would do 9-5 or 8-6 JOB .

I’m thinking going single hand but some ppl tell me to play multi hand to lower variance .

Based on 110k loss with 2 million played, the actual return is 94.5%. The only gimmick games in 100 play I know of are STP and Quick Quads.

Seems to me the op has been here before and started a getting killed post. Look I never play muti-hand they just don't have good pay tables where I play. Single hand is it. I always plan on losing 2.46% every trip playing 9/6 jacks with the 2% being no royal day. I play this game 99% of my play.

Friday I played 10,152 hands @ $1.25 in 10 hours. Loss was $140. Was better then expected 19 four of a kinds. You are right your going to lose most every time playing Jacks without the royal.

I am in Steve's camp find the OLDER machines, 9/6 jacks, single line. Play 13 sessions and compare to what you just did and you should be a whole lot better off.

...lower variance .
It’s comparable only if you make same wager on different denominations.

Compared with betting $25 per hand on $5 denomination, betting $25 on 5 play $1 denomination has much lower variance.

If you compare single hand with multi hand on same denomination, multi play has significant higher variance.

The only way I can win on job without a Royal is using what I have posted about for years. Martingale Clone. The problem with it is when you get ahead a little, most times you will run into a streak witn no Royal, no quads, and few full houses. When that happens, you will bust your budget for the day. Sometimes on a bad day, it can bail you out however. Last week I was losing and couldn't even get a 9/6 machine. I never play 8/5 but did that day. Hit a Royal with 17 quarters bet, but believe me that is not an every session bail out.

By the way, 2 m is about what my coin in for the year is. On 9/6 I tend to end up the year down 2 percent. I am lifetime under Royaled. Unfortunately your 13 sessions is still short term results. Hope you get a streak in the right direction.

...older machines, ...
Please stop reiterating this kind of superstitious nonsense. There isn’t any difference between these PRNGs at all. Either continuous shuffling or random selection, they are all equivalent.
