IF one does not choose job 99.5439 % out of the above choices, there is a deep imbedded dislike of money !!! however there is a thing called fun ! the word fun is derived from the word funeral by the way !

The casino thinks you're playing a 96% game, unaware that you have your Martingale technique working for you.

I doubt that the casino cares that a modified Martingale technique is being used. The technique does not change the EV - they retain their 4% advantage no matter what betting pattern is used.

They (casinos) would actually prefer people bet more when those same people are at a big disadvantage.

Yep, keep pouring in the funds! They retain, we complain. That’s the system. Ding is being facetious, of course.

I only play DDB once in a blue moon and usually on low budget nickel days. I have busted too many times over the years on DDB due to the 2 pair penalty. I have busted way too much on 9/6 JOB due to quadless sessions. I actually prefer the lower total return Airport Deuces Wild game. Its variance isn’t too bad. With the Martingale Clone, I hope to hit the deuces naturally before I get wiped out. Kind of like this. Quite a few times I hit the deuces just before wipeout. Pure coincidence I know, but I enjoy the game more.

Nice Olds, I been doing all Deuces myself for a few weeks, the game is much more enjoyable then JOB/BP.

I prefer to flat bet it on NSUD, I do like your Martingale system and have used it on 20 coin machines with Bonus deluxe that pays 400 for the four of a kind.

I'm still trying to find the proper tone for posting in the Recreational section.

I don't completely dismiss the possible value of bet variation tactics. Ideally I suppose you would need a flawed machine to exploit. Flaws probably do exist, but I've never detected anything that looked promising.

Of course some folks vary their bets for fun rather than profit.

In Vegas (home of the eponymous Airport), Airport Deuces is probably more common than the similarly-returning DDB. Whenever I find those to be my two best options, I'll always choose the Deuces because DDB is too roller-coastery for me.

Trivia: Airport Deuces no longer exists at LAS. Originally it was regarded as a horrible pay table because 100.76% FPDW was widely available in town.

I vary my bet to minimize losses, as all games are negative. If I suppress a premium hand payout, that’s life. Only so much I can squander for a day’s fun.

Way to beat the reaper, Olds. A robust $15 BR remaining is whistling past the graveyard.
