Keeping track of the huge swings on the new vp machines

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Yeah, if you are honest with yourself, total cash almost never regain its peak, which is usually around the thirty minute mark for me. You have that one nice upswing crest and then panic and disillusionment.

Almost every single trip. I can’t even think of an exception in 2019. By the way I agree with 30 minute mark give or take a few.

Same old, same old. I will mention that $1,000 March Bally’s RF occurred after a -$120 loss. But I play on a sliding scale, so it could just as easily have been a $187 RF!

187$ is still a winning day in my book especially after comps/entertainment is added, i played 100$ bankroll on 7/5 jacks or better and doubled in in maybe 15min? captured two 4 of a kind and a boat load of lower paying hands, thats right 7/5 jacks can sometimes double a 400 credit roll 400 to 805, it was nice to watch im sure its a .10% chance of it doing that

but my main game is 97% dw which most recommend don't play but its the best i have to agree 30minutes into my session either something good has happened, something bad or neutral, id say 20%/50%/30% yes even holding on to your starting bankroll in 30min is good

Cool; 7/5 JOB strategy is hit and sprint. Seek oxygen and sun asap. 97% DW? 30 min max!
