Bizarro World 2023

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

That would be me. Short run all the time. Don’t quit so long term never. I should start posting my max up amount for a session and the ending amount. 😬 I am afraid though it would be a bit depressing. 😬

BTDT olds.
Maybe the math guys could help us out with a formula to quantify the agony. :cry:

Such as;

Max session amount-subsequent wild chasing = stupidity factor :x

Have hopeful possibility. Just left Bizzarest West With the lead score in a slot Tournament. $10,000 first place. Lots of sessions left though. Wildman also won his session and should see $3-500. :?:

👍🦕 I have a feeling that is where the probability of ruin comes in. Just like if a Royal comes in in the long run every 40,000 hands or do, maybe in 5,000-10,000 hands ( an average long session) the probability of ruin is very high on a 500-1500 or so bankroll on a quarter game. That seems to happen quite often when my 1.25 bets work their way up to as much as 10-15 bucks a hand over 8 hours and nothing good hits. I really need to stop increasing my bets until the amount I am looking for ( say a 250 buck quad deuces hit ) is lost. I think if I could do that, it would save a lot of bankroll busts. This year so far,I haven’t been able to hit those 4,000, 8,000, 10,000 or even 10,000 and 18,000 jackpots that have saved me somewhat in prior years.

Just as an aside, I plan a solo Bizarro trip up tomorrow evening.

Back from my solo Bizarro trip last night. Not a bad trip overall. Have the room 3 nights and the Mrs and I are going back up tomorrow evening. I was able to land 4 deuces a couple of hours into my play using the Clone and it had only taken my bet up to bet 7. Pic attached. I did turn the play into a marathon though playing all night until almost 8 am. Nothing else substantial hit, but using the clone method kept me still about 100 to the good side. I played JOB for 30 minutes on my way out this afternoon and sure enough, quad deuces came in on JOB.

First deuces hit, wrong bet amount (too small). Second hit, wrong game (Jacks).

If only he had a system to guide his decisions.

But I do, and it is based on money management. I have made it very simple and straightforward for both Deuces Wild and JOB. The jist of it on JOB is to up your bet a unit for instance from bet 5 to bet 6 anytime you have lost 4 times your current bet amount. When you are at bet 6, anytime you win for that cycle more than your current bet amount. You drop back a
Unit. Anytime you lose 4 times your current bet amount and on your next up one unit bets, you lose 4 times your current bet level again, you up your bet 2 units. My problem is sticking to it for the long haul. If I stick to it, I do well. It doesn’t work as well on Joker kings due to the higher variance. Forgot to mention anytime during the session, your winning hand makes your balance higher than your previous high for the day,make sure the next bet amount will be 5. My free play seems to be hovering between. .4 and .5 percent of coin in. That means with perfect play on JOB, I should be able to play even up with the house long term.

Even simpler, and easier on the brain, would be simply betting the same all the time.
