where you just had to muscle your way to a profit? I mean I kept going up and down, up and down. It was like the casino wasnt gonna let me break past $450. Started at $100 went to $450 (hit this area several times) down to $189 and had to settle with $321

Cash out next time you make 350% profit. If you get greedy you'll probably end up losing it all.

Been there, done that, numerous times. Sometimes you just need to cashout like blaqpoet said and accept the 350% gain.

I,on the other hand, just love to play

whcih is why I usually end up NOT cashing out!!

Yup, many times. In fact a lot of them ended with large bets on blackjack which, unsurprisingly, were not winnings hands.

When you feel like the software is beating you down, you have to either take a break, say to hell with it and cash out (if you're ahead), or if you really must still play [I fall into this category] then only bet the absolute minimum (20 cents on Avalon for example) and keep making small bets until you feel like your luck is beginning to turn - and even then, only increase your bets slowly and by small amounts.

When all else fails, cash in your comps and beat the snot out of them!

All the time mate, all the time!
Month in & month out I have to "settle" for only making 100 - 200% profit at casinos, but that's how come I've been profiting consistently for over 6-years now...

Profitting 6-7 years in a row? LOL

Sorry for me laughing, but even if you use bonuses that would be extremly hard to do playing slots.....

Don't even need bonuses if you play smart, keep track, and quit while you're ahead.. you almost always get ahead at some point don't ya

disclaimer: I'm not saying I'm at a lengthy profit because I don't track my play like KK does.

I am not even gonna comment lojos post, but claiming, on a reputable forum, that you can beat slots with a HA of over 5% is inzane and I advize you to seek help if that is your thinking. Gambling is "bad" enough (yes I gamble, but I know that I wil loose, I do it for fun), but when you state on the forum that it is possible to beat the slots, you are luring naiv soles out there to even more gambling. Everyone should read this and accept it, you WILL loose in the long run playing slots.

As for KK, I read your site and see that you make most of your profit from BJ\other low HA bonuses. I still feel it is wrong to proclaim that you can make a consistent profit for 6-7 years without mentioning low HA games and bonuses.

Nobody said that slots are beatable - they aren't. The fact of the matter is that slots have more variance than most table games - you don't bet $1 on each spin and always win back 95 cents, if they worked like that nobody would play them. Most of the time you lose and sometimes you win BIG.

KK has been profitable over the last 6-7 years because he plays with bonuses, small bets, and self-restraint.

He didn't say that every session has been profitable, just that he has made a steady profit over the years. I'm pretty sure I've seen him make posts where he blew a whole deposit at one session, but winnings from other sessions more than make up for it.
