Now that I am retired, local casinos have counter measures for me, I have a bit more time for short trips, playing $25 to $150 or 2 x $25 to 2 X $150, when is a trip worth it? For example, a trip is available that will cost me $100 to get to a destination, another $125 for car rental, $25 for car parking at home (say a total of $250), is a trip worth taking for 12-14 hours of actual play (I get in a Thursday night, play Friday and Saturday, depart in wee hours of Sunday)?
Another is a drive (4 hours) to get to a city and I get there at 2:00 p.m., drive to a couple of casinos and play till Midnight, catch a few hours of sleep and drive back the next morning. I assume I can get about 6 hours of table time. the cost is about $60 in Gas, $60 for motel or $120.
What criteria should I set for taking short trips? Given personal situation, week long trips are not possible.
What criteria makes for a successful short trip? I would consider $1k and up as a hugely successful trip, $2-900 as a moderately successful trip, breaking even or winning under $200 as acceptable but unsuccessful. anything less as a "waste of time'.
