We had a great day at the Casino on Saturday. The key to our happiness was money management namely CASHING OUT whenever we had over $60 on the slot machine. By sticking to our money management routine we dug ourselves out of an almost $60 hole and ended with with just over $500 net for the day.
In this video you can see how we stick fairly stringently to our money management by frequently cashing out our vouchers
PING!
So, we’re going to allow ads for gambling on FR?
If you win big, put your money away and play on the house money.
When it comes to casinos, it’s all about the Law of Large Numbers. Play long enough, and you will lose. You will pay for all those lights and all those casino employees.
Don’t get me wrong. I love casinos! My +/- is $20. Lose $20, and I quit betting and just walk around the casino and take in the sights.
Win $20, and I treat myself to a nice meal. Then I just walk around the casino and take in the sights.
No disrespect meant to you, PJ. You seem to have a similar money management system. Perhaps some day we will meet in a casino. If I’m down $20, you can buy me a sandwich a cup of soup.

An ad for WHO? WHAT is the product being sold here. What I provided was ADVICE on how to management money via CASHOUT when at the casino.
When I lose a bet, I just double the amount for the next bet. That way I win back my money in no time.
I went from a +/- $20 money management system to a +/- $100 money management system but betting in $20 increments. That works out best for me.
I love the quarter machines.

Ah, yes. The classic Martingale betting system.
🙂
It’s foolproof… but only if you have an infinite amount of money to keep on doubling your bets. Otherwise sooner or latter you’re gonna a hit a brick wall.
☹️
Winning is fun! Congrats to you.
Old BF dragged me to a local casino several years ago. Had never been to one.
He said, “Just walk around until you find a machine that looks good to you”.
I like one with horses on it, put in a token or whatever you put in and pulled the lever. Noise sounded. Had no cllue what that meant.
“You just won $100.” Over the six months I dated him, I won a nice pile $$$ on the horse machine. Never went back after I decided he was a jerk.
> I love the quarter machines. <
It’s the penny machines for me. But it’s not easy to get one of those grandmas off a machine so I can take a seat.
🙂
The new machines, because are digital, completely reset themselves everytime you pull the lever. So, there is no use in the old tactics, like watching somebody play for a while and then playing his machine.
> So, there is no use in the old tactics… <
I read somewhere that the slot machines at the end of aisles are set to pay off a bit higher. And that’s so the rubes can see a win, and be enticed to play the machines themselves.
But I’m a rube myself. So what do I know?
Good old long lost Aunt whatshername!
Um, I am in the will, right?
“Never went back after I decided he was a jerk.”
Sweet!
An inexpensive lesson learned....
Stayed at casinos for conferences in the last couple of years. I wish all the vices were as unappealing to me as a casino. Restaurants were nice but exorbitant. Vegas could get nuked and I wouldn’t miss it a bit. What a dump, especially Harry Reid International!
Only problem is when the casinos won’t take an IOU for more than a few million.
Hubby and I frequent our local casino and usually come home winners on a bankroll of a couple hundred each. My biggest win was $6500 on a Dragon Links machine last year playing $5.00 a bet on the nickel denomination. Hubby won over $2000 on that same night. We play penny machines occasionally but prefer quarter and dollar machines. I won $5000 on free play in Vegas a few yrs ago on an old-school dollar machine. I think we’ve come out even over the yrs, but we’ve also gotten free hotel stays and cruises we pry would have never taken otherwise, plus we have fun doing it.
had an inmate on my crew that had a 50,000 a day limit in Laughlin NV, he borrowed 750,000 from his business retirement funds in NJ and paid it back 3 days later, the feds found out and he got to work with me for 3 years at Leavenworth, camp.
