I think I could be a decent poker player. I think I am a good gambler anyways. If I go to a casino, here's my philosophy. I start with $40, that's it. I play as though I have lost the $40 already on the progressive slots. I'm flexible on where I walk away. If I hit a decent big win, up to $200 say, then if I drop below $150 I'm done. If I lose the $40 right away, I do NOT go back for more money. So to me, if I'm at a casino, I consider $40 to be gone and that's it. I'll only stop if I get over $150 or $200, or if I lose the $40. When I'm playing those progressive slots, I'll bet the max everytime, no matter what. That way if I do hit something, I'll get a bigger payday. It's worked for me so far, and out of the 4 times in the casino, I'm batting .500 on the over $100 profit.
