Kewlj- you could be correct on most of what you say- but this is a gambling forum. We all, in one way or another grope for answers and sometimes use them for our own selfish reasons. But telling others to play on and not stop at a reasonable win has surely cost me tons of money as compared to stopping. And it doesn't hurt near as much to try a strategy and if it doesn't work simply discard it. Take the case of Neily 777 on YouTube. Yes I grasp at every REASONABLE strategy just because my wife sometimes like to play the penny machines. He has a cash me out strategy that does work. So last week he gets up to an $800 cashout and dumps it into a machine to see if he can get maybe a few hundred more. As good luck would have it, he hits the $20k jackpot. Here is where he's excited about the cash in his pocket and starts another of his strategies at mega amounts. His last words were-"well folks- that's how you toss $1,000 in a few minutes.
