A couple of good ones!

Played late last night into early morning as the ....stick your nose out of the mask crowd was asleep. After dropping 200 on job and 300 on Deuces wild following my clone method, I took a huge risk on Joker Kings on dollars with the remaining 500 dollar bankroll. Lost a bunch imof consecutive hands fircing me to raise my bet level. Then I hit. You can see what I had left in bankroll. Not much, so I was just extremely lucky again

Thanks yes you are correct on the W-2 geez I guess the state and feds are going to get a windfall again from me next year no ability for state right off taxed on gross W-2 winnings about 7% which is a big chunk out of the jackpot the Fed I can write off but since I have to itemize to do it I will lose about 10,000 bucks or so in deductions because I can’t take the standard deduction oh well I’m not complaining for now by the it’s not important but maybe to some it is. I stayed with the same machine just changed games within the machine I have found out lately that after a really bad dry run on a certain game if you switch games it starts hitting almost immediately of course that’s the short term results but I seem to be finding it consistently lately these are the older machines and by older I mean really old 20 or 25 years old at least IGT I believe. And yes it is the same casino

This is the jist of what has been working the best for me on 9/6 JOB. I wish on this website that was promised some time ago, in practicing the program, it would allow bets in excess of 5 units like the casino does. I would not try this unless your machine allowed up to bet 25 and allow you to switch denominations to halves and dollars too.
It is a version of Martingale clone. Bankroll.... Best to have a thousand bucks and there is a real chance of going bust.
I start by betting 5 quarters. That is me lowest bet. Anytime in the sequence, I exceed the highest credit total, I quit or return to bet 5 quarters.
After 2 consecutive losses and pushes are just ignored, I raise my bet by one unit. So from 5 to 6. I follow the same sequence if I lose 2 more and go to bet 7. When I win something, I drop the bet by 1/2 of what the bet pays for bet one. So if I were at say bet 12 quarters and hit a flush, my next bet would be bet 9. Many times a full house hit will bring you over your highest total, so you can just start over at bet 5 or quit.
If you get to bet 25 quarters and lose twice, I change to halves and start at bet 13. If its in a horrible cycle and you get to bet 25 halves, I switch to dollars and start betting 13 dollars a hand. If it takes you all the way up to bet 25 dollars, you may be busted or very low on credits. So far, I haven’t had to go up that far. Warning. Not for the faint of heart. Assume you are going to lose it all before you play. Please do not bet with money you cannot afford to lose. Practice first. You may not like it at all. It is a nice feeling to hit a quad though and be able to cash out or drop your bet from say 22 quarters to 10 or back to 5 if you are up for the session.

PS..... The higher variance in deuces wild and especially Joker Kings makes this method just too risky in my opinion unless the machine happens to be in a really good Cycle. I use a different sequence for those games and you are more likely to go bust as well on other games due to the higher variance

Olds, the casinos where we play at only go up to 15 coins. They do have a choice between quarters, halves, and dollars. Would your system work on a 15 coin machine? Also, if the machine you are on is in a cold cycle do you try to be patient and stick with it or do you switch to a different game or maybe move to a different machine? Also we don't have 9-6 JOB available to us.

Oh Bummer. Sorry, I don’t know how it would work on 8/5. If I was going to try it where you are, and I hit say a flush, in my head I would pretend I hit at 6 for 1 and drop the bet by 3. On a full house, I would drop the bet by 4. I am afraid with a max of bet 15, you might go up too fast. Let me think for a moment.
You wiuld have to switch to halves too early. However, going to 16 quarters which you can’t do, is the same as 8 halves, so go to 8 halves. But going to 17 quarters which you can’t do is the same as betting 8and 1/2 halves so it would be a bit steeper goint to 9 halves. I would probably do it anyway. You would stay in halves longer than I would because you would start at 8 and I would start at 13. Same with dollars. You would start at 8 if you kept losing to the end bet 15 halves. I start at bet 13 dollars. My biggest concern is 8/5 and no 9/6. Anyway, the reason it is working for me is if I hit a short flurry of full houses or even a single quad, quite likely I will be back at bet 5 quarters. I think you may be OK. Wish Webman had given us the other program option, then you could practice here first playing for free. Without a program you would have to use a calculator for every hand. That would be migraine causing. Good luck and stay well.
