[QUOTE=billyjoe] Well put, Shadow. So then, by contrast, if you are playing POSITIVE expectation games, you need to keep playing, regardless of how long a dry spell you may encounter, to hope that you 'catch up' at some point.
 
Am I reading that right?  

 
Pretty much. There's no monetary reason to quit playing a positive return game. There are lot of other reasons, however. Everyone gets tired. No one plays as well when they are tired and you can turn a positive return game into a negative one simply by making lots of mistakes. I won't even mention drinking too much.[/QUOTE]
Well, if I ever find a positive return game in the casinos that I frequent, I will just have to hunker down and play until my fingers bleed. But wait, I will have to NOT drink and NOT get distracted by the cocktails waitresses? Sorry - probably ain't gonna happen.
