The lucky kitties knowing what awaits them, ( hopefully nice homes too ) stayed with me. Just one of those one or twice a year sessions finally getting to bed!

Always nice when a session turns out to be the "cat's meow"!

Amazing. Staying at same bet until -40B next trip if it kills me. Don’t get too ambitious/greedy too fast.

Thanks again. Yes back into the black for the year. The funny thing is FAA, one would think the 40 times your bet is a big loss, but on the game I play, it can hit that in as little as 15 minutes. However, in attempt at not busting, let’s say I lost to keep it simple 40 bucks at a dollar a bet. I go to a 2 buck bet and hit immediately a wild Royal at 25 for one. In ball park numbers my next bet would be a buck at position 15 meaning when it gets to position 40 it’s time to to bet 2 again. Easy to do in your head once you get used to it. The biggest downside is the hours required to eke out a nice gain 8-12 hours of play Just as a side note. All of those hits were on the same machine. There were terrible dud streaks, but my rule of 40 kept me from coming even close to busting. Will it work long term?? I have no idea. After lunch, I played it again for another 2 hours. No hand pays, but I had both a dealt straight flush and 5 Aces that took me from -250 on the post lunch session to + 400 for that same 2 hour session.

Over the years, I have tried waiting from anywhere from 2-20 net losses on the bet amount and all have been too aggressive. Waiting 40 is hard discipline wise.

Good to know. The -40B Strategy is hard core. It should definitely stanch the triple digit loss trips. I only do two or three hours tops. On JOB or BP I’m expecting a solid half hour. If it’s fifteen minutes, I’m switching machines.

I did a BP simulation at 2. Within 15 minutes I was -80. But my way I would have burned through half my BR.
