Do the 400 credits in your strategies allow for the possibility of cold cycles and thus when playing them do you forsake even checking for them or have there been times when you noticed them and restarted on another machine? Thanks.:)

The 400 credit requirement does not consider nor is it affected by, cold or hot cycles that may occur. I always move to another machine if and when I detect a cold cycle.
Question: how many bets (hands, plays) does it take to detect a cold cycle? What is the best indicator that you are in a cold cycle?
That's been discussed multiple times here. I will explain it again in detail in due time.
In the meantime, I offer this. Why not have that idiot Spock--who's obviously trying to ease his toutuous pain over my last jackpot by making up a denominational presto-chango issue, then stomping up & down over something even less meaningful, GT--have him do some actual research on this for a change so I don't have to write it all again. Give the poor fellow something real to do that could go a long way in helping him forget about my winning. It'll be an effort of mercy. As a side note, I guess I should be honored that he's not disputing my "schlong" with some more of his non-thorough, from-a-safe-distance efforts :)
Rob, your response above is uncalled for and inappropriate. I didnt remove it because I will let it speak for itself.Quote:

Alan, you should remember all the hullabaloo we had over discussing the hot/cold cycle thing. I had just reread some of Rob's articles where he said you should never change in the middle of the road whenever you start a strategy and I wanted to make sure my understanding was complete as I've saved for another 3 sessions of freed up money. I can deduce from what he said and the pm's he's sent me what he means-just double checking. Confidence means everything once you start. I really should have sent a pm.Quote:

As I posted recently, I was on a machine that I thought was in a "hot cycle" and if it had a higher denomination (I was at $2 which was the highest) I would have switched up.
No-just my thoughts changed. In one of his articles he stated that one should never change midstream-which I took to mean play the full 400 credits. He only meant I could continue the strategy on another machine. In your case, I believe you would have been changing to a higher denom AFTER attaining a win goal and I don't know about that.
You should also be sure to move whenever an alien from the planet Argenti sits down next to you. Bad mojo.
Would that alien be in a wheelchair, arci? :)Quote:

I guess you could say I did what Obama did when he realized he could get the queer vote by embracing their "beliefs"....I EVOLVED.
I haven't seen a cold cycle in quite some time....to the disdain of many a poster, and to my double delight!
