Billyjoe strategy

Thank you for the response. I like that style I have been using something similar.
Me and wife love just getting away. I need to work on my win points cause I might set then to high. Lol
Thanks
Knowing when you have had a fortunate run on VP is important to recognize. This, I believe, just comes from experience. Everyone is different. For me, I try very hard to not get greedy, and adhere to what I beleive is an above-average "Win Stop Point" in a VP session. 
 
The other thing is, I choose to play high volitility games, like TDB. You can hit some real dry stretches, so you need some discipline to not plunge into a hole that you can't recover from.

Knowing you've had a fortunate run is pretty much a "no brainer"

"Knowing" that a good run will continue, or not, is more important. Unfortunately, no one, no matter how much experience they have, can predict that.

   Although I think people could benefit gambling like billyjoe. I just wish I had the money to play the levels he does... Although it's easy to understand why one would wish for a larger bankroll, don't assume that BJs methods change the odds at all or that people actually benefit using them.His attitude of "always having a good time" is one we would all do well to emulate. His Win Stop / Loss Stop methods, not so much. But although I'm convinced his methods are ineffectual, they aren't harmful. They just give you an artificial reason to stop playing. I guess if you're playing a pretty bad game (which I define as one where the house has the advantage rather than the player), this his methods actually help. Any reason you have that leads you to play less on a bad game will save you money. (But playing not at all would save you even more money.)Bob

That is the best strategy I have come up with Bob. I haven't played V.P. at a casino since I went to vegas. That was 4yrs ago in june.

If you have not been to a casino in 4 years you are probably ahead of the rest of us.  When is your next trip planned?

[edog743]

Probably before the end of the century. Chatty you may think the vote was rigged. I am positive V.P. in the casino is rigged. You know you can't trust them damned casino owners.

For $79.95 per year for all the bells and whistles or for free if you please for the watered down version, video poker.com is a heck of a deal.  For me it does not replace the casino experience but I still consider it money well spent.

  Its an even bigger bargain when you take into account that you can redeem 1,000,000 bonus points for 3 months of membership.

I'm surprised a major forum poster has a multi year streak away from the casino. I'm definitely itching after a month or so.

This "Win Stop Point" stuff is very interesting to me. Your brain says the cards are totally random and when you stop or start play has no affect on long term results.  On the other hand, quoting from Dancers book "some days the 4-of-a kinds and straight flushes happen and some days they don't".  If the game is 100% plus and you play perfectly and you are really lucky (all of these things don't apply to me), stopping play is counterproductive. If you're me, you occasionally have really bad days and nothing you do will turn this around.  My stop point is determined by how much financial pain I want to endure.  Establishing a win point is crucial to a recreational player.  That's why I cash out and pocket all my wins over a certain amount.    I don't always leave without cashing a ticket or two, but I do try to leave with something in my pocket.  I hate walking out totally busted and try to avoid that at all costs.
