This way I could quit while I was ahead all day and get a lot of sessions in. The problem is onetime my log book and stamp fell out of my pocket and the casino figured out what I was doing and the party was over. It’s sad because I was a big bettor and had I been smarter I was on track to quit while I was ahead into a Million bucks!
Actually, quit while ahead doesn't mean you can't start again the same day on another machine or session. Some sessions may end with a medium profit, others you may have to play reservedly just to win $10! Then there's the big one that SHOULD make you think of calling it a day. The scoffers want to make you think you go home after 5 minutes of play with a$5 profit! And it DOES make a difference if you play the next hand today or tomorrow! Boz, or Bozo would say I'm an idiot without any common sense, but anyone who can't fathom hands and programs continuing to cycle while they're absent well....
