I always have a stop loss. Unfortunately I reach it too often.

If I have a real problem it's not bolting after reaching a win goal.

Regarding your experience in the post above, Northof49, we don't know what the finances are for this particular player or if he has any sorts of goals or loss limits for his play. Everyone complains about casino games -- it's part of the nature of gamblers in a casino, isn't it?

I think it's very interesting that you wrote this, because I think the same way: I calculated that even if he were to hit the top winning combination, at this point, he wouldn't even get his money back

I developed my own stop loss based on this same idea that you expressed. I never want to lose more than what I could regain if I hit a small jackpot.

For example, on $5 Aces and Faces video poker, quad Jacks, Queens or Kings pays $1,000. If I am down $1,000 I am at my loss limit.
