This is not the first time I have lost 4 in a row. When these losing sessions come along, I start expecting to lose even as I walk in. My usual response is to take a few days off, then go and book small win sessions to get the confidence back. So, I go in, leave when I am up even if it’s just $100 and 10 minutes of playing. I will do 2-3 such short, small win sessions. Is this dumb, walking away just to preserve a win to get confidence back?
I am so fearful of a losing string of sessions that I want to just break it first. I want to get to where win or lose, I keep an unchanged routine, but right now it’s hard. I don’t like walking in, expecting to lose. I like walking in thinking the casino is my ATM.
How many straight losing sessions have you had and what is your tolerance level? When do you decide that maybe taking a break is a good idea?
From my record, I tend to have streaks of losses in the last two weeks of the month. Also I lost a lot on big holidays. My thesis is that casinos set higher clumping setting on ASM in the end of month to meet the earnings estimate on the balance sheet. This October is particularly extreme. I have won 10 out 11 trips from October 1st to 16th. Then lost six trips in the roll after October 18th.
