Look... win goals and loss limits work IF you use them and live by them. I don't. I'm a greedy son of a bitch. I want to walk out of a casino with $10,000 or $15,000 or $100,000 or more. Otherwise, I have a budget to lose a fair amount of money which I also consider to be "entertainment money" that I could have used for a golf membership or a cruise, or buying jewelry, or traveling to Europe WHICH ARE THINGS I DON'T WANT.
Trust me on this guys -- I've hit two $100,000 royals. One time I took a check for the entire $100K (I still had credits on the machine and continued playing and won even more on that particular trip). Another time I took a check for $90K and kept playing and gave money to Jason who hit a $23K progressive royal at Bellagio and I had some more winners as well.
Yeah, there were times I left the casino with a $300 profit but if I did it was only because I clawed my way back from an earlier big loss. I'm not making a 500 mile round trip to Vegas to win $300.
