Winner strategy?

**adrian_j** · 8th April 2007, 08:57 AM

Hi guys. Just curious about your play (especially lucky ones). I'm reading all these threads and even complaints section contains posts like "casino owes me xxxxx$". How do you get such huge wins? Are there any general rules for winning more and losing less? Like, bet size, first deposit, account lifetime, etc? Sorry if this sounds stupid, maybe I'm just not lucky enough

What games are you playing Adrian?

Simmo, usually I prefer slots, especially video ones (5/20 lines). I'm not good in bj or roulette, have lost some decent money playing em though.

If you play �45 a spin, you will get some big wins.

Ahem.

Well BJ aside, the others are games of chance so you will always lose over the long term unless you are adept at playing with bonuses (which I'm not) in which case you *may* be able to eek out a very small profit over time. But as far as slots go, the best thing to do is implement a "strategy" to manage your gambling budget effectively.

Stick to low/medium variance slots too.

My FAQ at Meister may help:

Managing your budget

And you may want to check approximate slot variances at www.slotjunkies.info. Also, check KasinoKing's guide to playing with bonuses: http://www.kasinoking.co.uk/BGbonuses.htm

I've been 'eeking out' profits from online casinos for nearly 6-years now ($22,500 so far...) and been doing a lot of that with slots play for the last 2+ years.
I actually think Microgaming's bonus video slots are the among the best on the net for this, for the simple reason you can bet any amount from 1c/line upwards which allows you to play the Simmo/KK strategies.

Yep - low-roll. Impatience is the biggest killer for slot players.
Don't go chasing that big win, just wait quietly until it comes to you!
