    I get that completely. It's true. The better you get at trend and pattern recognition the less stress there is. The less stress the longer you can take it. No matter what else happens you must wait until it is good time to strike. The mathZombies don't believe that you can know this. It's their entire argument. But that conclusion is without investigating for themselves. So it lacks merit. Now you know why I suggest limitation to just 3 net wins throughout the RR thread. Spike suggests 1 net win. The truth is that you gain an awareness of how much you can concentrate before reaching you current level of threshold. Everyone is different. Each person has their own best range. If you can find a way to lay back easy you can keep going all day. When I started doing this I was into double dozens, 24 -26 numbers. I always expected to play at this for ten to eleven hours. That is why I have thousands of playing hours experience. I expected to go deep into my bankroll every time I played. I did this in hopes of having one or two super win streak phases where I would slaughter the casino for at least 30 minutes to and hour. That's why I needed to change. I was not getting anywhere with that strategy. Now I protect the bankroll and get out on the first good uptick. That is the big difference that I made after seeing the video on stock market trading. It all comes down to ability to deal with stress. You can go ten times a month and knab a little each trip or you can go for a long session and fewer trips. It's all up to you and your ability to concentrate and what you might need in the next few days.

    Because one is all you need. Everything is about bankroll and bet selection. If you have the right bet selection and a big enough bankroll winning one unit is all you need to reach your goal if your goal is reasonable. If your goal is unreasonable you shouldn't be playing. Most people's go in a casino is to win as much as they possibly can every time they go which is stupidity unhinged. That's exactly the attitude the casino wants you to have. I remember several years ago I told the roulette dealer lady kind of offhandedly that I reached my goal already and I'm leaving. She said to me in kind of a low voice because it was just her and I there, don't let the casino hear you say that because they hate people that have goals. Which I knew already but it was kind of chilling to hear from somebody in the casino. Those were the days before I was playing for just one unit.

    Just to pick a number, if my session goal is $50 and I bet $50 and win, why on Earth would I bet again. It wouldn't make any sense. It also doesn't make sense if your goal is $60 to split it up into three wins of $20 each. The only reason you would do that is if you have a crappy bet selection and you're relying on luck to help you out. No matter how good you are you never know what's coming. If you can win your goal in one bet, you've beaen the casino. If you don't win your first bet and you stop when you are one unit ahead, you've beaten the casino. And if beating the casino is not your ultimate goal you need to rethink what you're doing. For myself it's the height of arrogance to think I need to win more than my goal. It's greed talking and greed will always sink you. If you have ever applied for a business loan from a bank they will want to see your business plan. They will want to see exactly what you're going to do and how you're going to make money to repay them. If it's not a sound business plan they will show you the door. Going to the casino with the intention of winning as much as you possibly can every time you go is not a sound business plan, it's a plan for disaster. Yet that's what 99% of the people in the casino are doing and that's why casinos are so rich.

    Spike, that is easily debunked by any person's ability to concentrate and to wait for each best time to strike. You can use a smaller risked bankroll if you know you can get ten eventual wins off of micro trends in the uptick / downslide charts. Your method works for you. And it might be good or it might be bad. Just how many years will an online casino let you keep coming back for more? Can you answer that please. If I go one or two times a month and get what I want for that month would that be better or worse than going ten or twenty times a month to the same game provider, even though it's a different online casino? I'm not 99% of the people and I just asked you a valid question.

    At this point I see no reason for me to ever go to a brick-and-mortar casino again. It's time consuming and I have very little control over everything but my game. I'm forced to use the outcomes from whatever wheels the casino is using. It's like walking into the great unknown every time I go to a casino. After playing online a B/M wheel would be like playing in slow motion. Online I'm looking at 60 to 90 spins an hour, sometimes in a B/M casino you're lucky if you get 25 or 30. Phooey on that. Online I control everything. The time I play, the wheels I play, how long I play, for what I do a B/M casino is obsolete. It's driving a horse and buggy after cars were invented. As far as running out of online casinos to play at that's not possible. I already have plans to play in other states that I will not go into on a public forum. And no it doesn't involve using a VPN. If you can make your nut every time you go to a brick-and-mortar casino, more power to you. I don't have the time or patience for it anymore. Life is literally too short.

    Everybody in my family has tested positive for covid, or just about everybody. They all lived except one and she died because she had lupus which totally destroys your immune system. She thought she was safe because she was double vaccinated. Nope.

    My son-in-law lost both his kidneys several years ago and has a kidney transplant and is on transplant drugs that totally take away your ability to fight off disease, he got covid about six weeks ago and he's still alive. He didn't even have to go to the hospital. He was sick as a dog but he got over it.

    That was appropriately funny. You also have an ass plug that fills up to the point where your blue eyes change to brown.
