The true test comes when you drive to a casino with a $500 win/quit for the day goal & attain it within the first five minutes. The disciplined player - aka the winning player - will ALWAYS do what he or she said they were going to do before walking into the casino. The undisciplined player - aka the LOSING player - will suddenly come up with as many excuses as there are dress sizes until one is found that allows continued play. And this is exactly, among other things that I constantly harp on, what the casinos want & expect you to do.
As far as no believing that the machines have cold cycles....imagine for a moment how much more profitable your play could be if you got up from those machines you've run into so many times where the losing just doesn't seem to stop. If you can't grasp the concept of that which I know is absolutely true, then how could it possibly hurt to change machines anyway? Similarly, someone who has casino credit and check cashing set up at any casino they play at is just ASKING for trouble. Give an honest answer here: How many times has your $2500 been lost and you went to get more?
Also, if you keep playing a single denomination with a 20% or even a 10% win & quit goal, without extraordinary good luck you will get wiped out. I believe you're riding the high from that royal right now, and when you won $6200 you didn't quit when you were ahead $500 anyway. If you indeed feel you have an opportunity for a change to have a winning year without total discipline and with your unrealistic win goal based on the bankroll you take--be careful. The day is still young.
