About betting strategy and money management

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

10% daily interest. Maybe affix this Post It message on our machine. We could use the help.

Check it yourself FAA. I bet you will be surprised how often that ten percent daily interest is attained. I’m guessing as a wild guess your BR may be 200-300 bucks. If we would only convince ourselves that twenty dollar bill is just like finding it on the sidewalk with nobody around that may have dropped it.

Think about it. You are capping your winnings at 10% while allowing unlimited losses. It's like a Martindale. How much are you willing to lose to break even or be up 10%?

You're once more missing the point. We are up the 10% at some point in our day, usually rather early to boot. This for me covers R/T expenses incurred. Chump change, but it beats losing.

If the idea is to break even, why not just stay home.
If quit points work, why don't pro's use them? Why does a Bob Dancer not practice this? My math skills stink but it seems everyone with a lack of math skills looks at things like this as gamechangers , while people who know shake their heads..

1) If I stay home, my wife will find something for me to do.
2) Break even, with a chance to hit something big.
3) Because it's enjoyable to play the game in a casino.

Because Pros have a boring view of the game. :lol:

Leaving early....leaving late....does not change the odds. Billy is right about one thing and that is "capping your winnings at 10% while allowing unlimited losses" The first day you do not get ahead 10% your losses will knock those small wins out of the park.

In roulette if you keep doubling until you win, you will go home many times with a small profit. However the first time your doubling up does not work you lose all your profits plus WAY more.

Systems do not change the odds.

This probably describes 75% of jobs, yes.
