MONEY MANAGEMENT TIPS

YOU ONLY

LIVE TWICE

STRETCH YOUR BANKROLL AND AVOID THE DEADLY DAYS

I am sure most of our slot-playing readers have been there before.You come to the casino with your bankroll.You might be staying at the casino for an afternoon or an evening or even a few days.You start playing, get into a groove and… get killed. Nothing works. You go from machine to machine, denomination to denomination; you wander throughout the casino.You see players (those rotten other players) happily winning.(“Oh,this has been such a lucky day for me!”Aaar rrgggh!) You play stand-alone machines; you play giant progressives; you play massive multi-line machines—nothing works.The machines all do one thing:gobble,gobble and gobble your credits.You might as well take what ever remains of your bankroll, go to the cage and donate it to the casino. Those deadly days do happen. You can’t wish

You can also have the opposite of those days where luck is “my lady tonight.”Those nights slot players long for. Still, in the long run those machines are programmed to take your money.You can’t get around that,and almost all slot players know you can’t get around that. Players face extremely large house edges on almost all machines and denominations. So how do you give yourself a chance to make it harder to have such a deadly streak that might wipe out your bankroll?Are there ways to stretch your money so that your bad luck must be so prolonged over such a long period of time that you might just be able to avoid the deadly days altogether? I do think you can structure your play in a perfect way to do just that. But you must lose what might be some of your prejudices about how to play the slot machines.

yourself around them.The more you play, the more you wager, the better the chance you will get clob bered at times.
