Greetings programs! Today kicks off some gambling ‘testing’ I plan to do over the next several months. I am going to track my progress just for the fun of it. I will test various methods I read about and post the results here.
I plan to gamble:
- At Winstar Casino on slots
- On Stake (at their various games)
- On the various Texas Lotteries
- On various Texas Scratch offs
I will use tips I have watched or read about on the Internet and books and post them here.
Slot tips I have read and will attempt:
- Play minimum bet to be eligible to win the jackpots.
- Don’t play the max number of lines, its not necessary.
- Once you hit a big amount, leave that machine. The machine will not ‘get hot’. It is all random, the casino bets that if you hit bigger on some pulls, you will stay on that machine.
- Always use your player’s card.
- Look for the slots that show something advancing on the screen (growing animals, filling bowls, increasing fireworks). Look for ones where it looks like those items are close to winning (aka, the pigs are huge). These are closer to hitting something sooner than later for the most part.
- Put money into the machine and play that money until you make more than what you put in (even if it is just a little) then stop and cash out. Move on to another machine, putting a new bill into the new machine. This gets you into a winning mind-set and keeps you from spiraling down to zero.
- Play low volatility games (simple games with small consistent wins) vs big jackpot game.
- Try 1$ 5 line machines, limit to 5 ‘dead’ no-win spins. Once you double your money (if winning), cash out and move to another machine.
- Try changing bet amounts during play. Aka: play 3 times, bump up or down to different denominations.
- Try changing amount bet if win or loss. Aka: play 1$, if win, next play $5, if win play $25, etc… if you loose in this streak, half the bet (or step back down).
Scratch off strategy I will try:
- Buy 5 in a row
- Buy one in 5 different types
Lotto strategy I will try:
- Choose some numbers that are not winning numbers. Stick with those numbers each draw, no random numbers.
- Play multiple lottos.
And I am sure more as the time progresses.
Let the money draining begin!!!
