Welcome to the forum.  Over the years I have seen my share of good and bad times. I play negative games so I'm not expecting to win long term, but it's extra depressing when you're in an extended losing streak.   It is possible to have really long losing spells.  I'm in one now that has lasted about fours months.  The best way to beat one of these is to take a vacation from VP for a while.   I'm keeping things small in the casino and so far I've managed to limit the damage.  Chasing loses by betting bigger in an attempt to catch up is where recreational players get in trouble.  If you back off a little, things will eventually turn around.

Thanx agian to everyone for chiming in.   Vman96. Dice fever is a fun game they have some pretty good pay tables also I believe at least 3 over 99% but I will say that the bounes rounds don't come often at all    its not like superpay where the multiples come up pretty often. If u play it let me know what u think.   The local casino where this game is offered is the only place I've seen it.

1 more ? Is it worth it for me to play a 6 coin game if the pay table is better with that game.     Like 9/6 BP where almost all the BP games at all 6 my local casinos have that pay scale for the games with or without the six coin bet

Welcome to the boards fellow Hoosier. The same casinos offer tb+ at 99.8%. Good quad and SF payouts without having to worry about catching the kicker.

As for dealing with the loosing streaks, it is tough. For us recreational players, despite playing good games with good stratedgy it still is gambling. Ya never know, the next trip might yield AWAK and a royal - bringing you back to square.

Funny u say that poker I know all about tb+ in fact when I first started playing I would switch between that and TDB if I was getting a lot of 3oak I would switch to tb+ and of course the only 3 times I hit QUAD aces all with kickers funny how that happens.       But last night I hit a straght flush and was kicking myself for not playing TB+ but 30 Min later I hit AWAK for a 2 g jack pot.     Yeaaaa
