I am up overall this year but not alot. I am a lowroller like KK and i play mostly with bonuses also. As KK said i think the key is to have self discipline. When i get a big hit or 2 on slots and manage to satisfy wagering requirements i tend to cashout and cool my heels for awhile so i dont give it all right back. I have a feeling this would work for many of us here but there is a terrible temptation i think to keep playing and to even raise our bets to try to "break the bank". This is probably what keeps many of us from showing a profit on a regular basis like KK.
I guess in some ways its good to be cheap, lol. (speaking of myself only
)
