Arc and Redietz both of you missed the point about raising your stop-loss when you are winning.

I raise my stop-loss if, by luck, I sit down and quickly hit quads. It happened once where I sat down and in a few hands hit quad aces on a $1 DDB which paid $800 which was far and above my win goal, so I raised my stop loss and went on to play a $5 game and won much more. However, I will not deny that I have given back more than I have ever won. Somehow, I am the only person on this forum who admits to losing. How can that be? Am I the one who keep the casinos open -- all by myself?

Rob wins, Arc wins. redietz wins. And I lose? Gosh gee wowza!!

Anyway... You guys believe that the math will insure your wins, yet the math does not insure YOUR wins. The math insures the machine and the casino. If we cannot agree on that there is nothing else to discuss. Keep playing your way. I'll keep playing my way. I would be very happy leaving a casino each time with a $150 or $200 win. Heck, a $200 win five days a week is a thousand dollars a week-- or a thousand dollars after five day trips. That's my goal now. And if I get lucky and make it a $250 win, so much the better.
