For me it changes week to week, month to month.
Overall I am having a very bad couple of weeks.
Even when I went to Atlantic City this Friday I took a beating
from Claridge and Bally's Casino's.
I have great weeks online sometimes where I have been able to
build up to $10k. It takes a LOT of money management, good choices
of games and long hours of playing and most of all, luck.
Video poker is my primary game - particularly Double Bonus and DD Bonus Pokers. These games have terrible cycles though so you have to know when
to quit for the day and when to vary it up with some of the best slots.
For me, these are the 5 line reels such as Flying Ace, Cool Buck, Fortuna, etc...
They're often good for a quick $300 hit which I then return to Video Poker to hopefully have some extra bankroll to pull out of the bad cycle.
I also only play at select Microgaming casino's which have proven to me
to be trustworthy and fair.
I also withdraw as I hit. I think it's VITAL to do this as poor money management will sink you fast. I keep $50 at a time in my active account. Anything over this gets withdrawn. If I tank the $50, I do reverse another $50 but I also switch games at that time. I continue banking everything I win over $50 always leaving $50 at a time to play with.
The thing behind this is that if you have $200 or more in your active account, and your on a game that is dead, it's easy to get "zoned" out looking for that win and very quickly use up your bankroll. With my system, if $50 tanks too quick, it's time to move to something else or take a break for a while.
In my many years of experience, you'll know a game is hot pretty early on.
The only one that is least predictable is Video Poker.
It CAN work (sometimes) and it has been the only way I have been able to cash out so much.
What I don't want is for any of you nice people to have to feel the pain of losing a lot of money and feeling the overwhelming anxiety over it.
PLEASE spend only what you can afford! If you feel yourself going overboard then deinstall the casino - it's not worth it. You can always have a "fake" account to use for play (not real money). I have one so if I just want to play without losing anything I use that. It is just as much fun - until a jackpot happens....then you wish it was for real
