Winning Play Strategy/System

[mdmick67]

I'm curious as to how many VP Players on the forum are using a winning play strategy for single line VP? Please discuss the winning strategy's that you are using and the kind of success that you are having. We all know that the pay-tables now days are less then 100% and in the long run without counting on the comps you will only lose money. That being said, you need to have either a lot of good luck or a winning play system to walk out of casino's as a winner over the long run.Personally I have been using a winning strategy for years now and I still manage to stay ahead of the game. I'm sure that I will be opening up a can of worms here with all the naysayers. But the kind of system the I use was developed by a man that was banned by this forum and others years ago (Xsinger). What kind of systems are others using and how are they working for you?

Care to elaborate on the Xsinger system?

we have numerous Cans O' worms in this forum, so do not sweat it, but you need to first elaborate on your own Can as  Chatty urges, before we can have a discussion that is meaningful and interesting......I would urge you to post in the thread "Are you winning or losing" and add your input to the side that claims to be winning the last 5 years, they need the help.....

I suspect it is a version of a Martingale system. Using a Martingale clone system that I developed myself, is the only time I came close to being even and I hit way more w-2gs than anything else I have ever tried. The problem is the thinking that a winning hand has to come in after so many dud hands and also having a limited bankroll kills it too. The dud streaks since 2010 are much longer tham prior years at least for me. Those are the ones that finish off a Martingale system.

I put on my headphones, close my eyes and start my iPhone music. I hit the "deal" button and hope my timing is "perfect". If the machine dings I know I won. If not then then without opening my eyes i decide whether to hold any of the dealt cards and hit re-deal. Since I enjoy a wide variety of music I can get into a great rhythm but I have to keep the machine sound up really "high".

Care to elaborate on the "The Artist Formerly Known As RS" system?To elaborate on the system that I use, some say it is simply a Martingale system. Although it resembles it somewhat in the fact that if you lose at one level of play you then simply move up to the next level etc.etc. until you win. However the system that I use is a more unique form of progression in that it not only increases in denomination but also it increases as well in game volatility.   As an example of my play. I play only single line VP,  I play at 5 levels from $.25 up thru $5. You can adjust this down to say .05c up thru $2. there by using a smaller bankroll. I only play muliti-denominational games ie Bonus Poker and Double Double Bonus Poker. There are other muliti games that you can choose other the these. Say Aces Bonus Poker paying 10 credits for two pair as well as either Double Double Bonus Poker, Triple Bonus Poker Plus or Super Aces.To make this easier to understand I will stick with BP and DDBP.Starting at $.25 I play 50 credits of BP if at anytime I'm ahead by $10. I cash out and stick the ticket in my pocket and start over, If I lose I then move up to DDBP and play 50 credits... On $.50 it's 50 credits on BP and 100 credits on DDBP; On $1 it's 100 credits on BP and 100 credits on DDBP: On $2 its 100 credits on BP and 200 credits on DDBP; On $5 it's 100 credits on BP and 300 credits on DDBP.  As you can see you're progressing not only in denomination, but in credit volume and game volatility as well while you're shooting for just a $10. WIN!.. Anytime that you are ahead $10. in your progression you cash out and start all over, keeping in mind that in this sort of progression the big one will come. You need to set a win goal at this level of play, say $500.Don't be greedy! Live to play another day. More often then not with good discipline, you will hit the big one sending you home with the casino's money.You can change the parameters all the time. It's fun to play like this, it keeps your mind working rather then just playing at one level as fast as you can and just knowing in your mind that you will soon lose all your bankroll once again to the casino.I will add just a few more comments:Know how to play the games correctly.Try to find the better pay tables but don't let that stop you from playing, in this type of progression you can still hit a good 4-of a kind sending you home a winner.Don't be afraid from deviating from perfect play and going after the 4-of a kind at times.Ace's almost always rule, don't be afraid to go after them.  So now let the naysayers start in... This system works for me, try it right here for practice, it could just work for you also. GOOD LUCK. Now let's hear what kind of systems that others on here might be using.

I would love to practice your strategy on here but there is no way to change and adjust level of play on this website is there? Maybe I am missing something. I am a gold member but maybe there is a button somewhere that I could push to change from nickels to quarters to dollars etc. If not maybe it would be a good idea to add one. In particular to better simulate what we would find at a casino.

This is very similar to the Martingale Clone system I developed and have been using off and on, but mostly on. The reason it did not work last year is because I was too dumb to cash out the tickets. Funny, I also used a base of 50 units and have the flexibility of denomination also at Mohegan Sun. They also let you bet up to 25 units per denomination that helps in the process. If I had stuck to it the proper way and cashed out, I would have been even or very close not counting comps etc. There would have been a few sessions though where the bankroll would have busted due to long dud streaks and no premium hands coming in for the entire day. I think I will be going back to it shortly, but starting with nickels this year. You need lots of time to play this way and if you run out of time, on your next trip, you have to pick up where you left off or you can simply start over I guess without recovering losses from the last trip. Very difficult to play this way on this site due to what is posted below. I wish there was a way other than the cumbersome calculator.

You will just have to lay it out on paper and use a little make believe as if  you are playing nickels or quarters. I have used this site to refine my play many times.... Good Luck

What do you mean by 50 credits etc.? If we are talking tier credits like we accumulate at CET in takes $10 coin it to get one tier credit. That being the case to get 50 credit I would need about 400 spins on a single line quarter machine. Is that what we are talking about? And when I move up to fifty cents to get 50 credits I would only 200 spins. Etc., etc. Am I making the correct assumptions?
