HI/Lo - 6 and eight deck games 5/6 or 7/8 pen. H17
Folks I've recently had real bad luck and lost about 65-75 max bets. Yes I've had wins in between but they weren't enough. I the beginning I started with 1k and had wonderful positive variance and won 15k I had 15k when I went from $25 to $50 units which I would add one unit for each TC , I lost 5k (VERY SAD AND UNFORTUNATE MOMENT FOR NEGATIVE VARIANCE TO START. super high risk I realize. Then ,I went back down to $25 units as I began talking to people here and begun learning about bet spread .... I bought CVCX and learned how high my RoR was ,so I started Wonging on -1 Running counts. and hoped for just one more taste of good positive variance before dropping my min bets and Ror.
I did this
0 $10
+1 $10
+2 $50
+3 $100
+4 150
+5 $200 MAX BET
(ITS NOT ABOUT ROR)basically I lost it all, the equivalent to probably about 65-75 max bets "YES I KNOW MY ROR WAS around 16%-20% or maybe even more at times ,such as doing the $50 unit disaster invite thing.
I'd like to hear how often other people loose 75 max bets. I mean was this a bad year? or can I expect to have this happen once per year? .I played 3-5 days per week for 5-8 hours each for the past few months
remember its not about war stories or stories you've heard or read about. Its about what happens/has happened to you. Its about how often a player can expect to lose that many top bets. I know this was high risk playing but consider this ,I have a replenishable bank roll or lets say I actually had the 50k with only .08% RoR I should have had in order to play that big ,I still would have lost 12-15k during my last bad luck run."""Thats still devastating""" and many hour wasted... Im thinking like this "even if I had a 50k BR that would still be a horrible loss and waste of time to loose 15k" horrible just horrible. this money was all lost day after day when the count was up.
