What about loss goals?

[slingshot]

Sling, during the past four weeks I've been testing stopping by Terribles here in Pahrump whenever I had to go out for whatever errands, putting in $200 in their 6-level 5c thru $2 machines with a win goal of twenty bucks or lose the $200. To date, I've played 32 sessions, I've won 30, lost 2, and am ahead $430. My largest win has come via quad 3's on $2 Aces Bonus poker.

As you can see, arci's assertion that win goals are meaningless and how the inevitable & infrequent big losses will more than wipe out all those small winners, is just another of his denial driven by a lack of gaming knowledge.

We're leaving for the summer next Thursday, noting that retirement couples who did not put habitual gambling ahead of healthy living in earlier years will reap the rewards of that respect. But I will continue to track these visits both before and after our departure. We expect to return in early Sept.

Just curious. Was there an opportunity to use a play that deviated from normal strategy or was it just the usual hands? All my small pairs in a two pair scenario got me back to my mini-win goal, so never had an opportunity. Thanks, and congrats. It's interesting stuff.
