Relearning lower rolling ways

[DK528]

Writing up this thread as a way to hold me accountable.

Let me know if you think I'm full of shit (although maybe a little more delicately than that) ...

I've been upping my bets over the last few years. Partly in response initially to less gambling time when I did trips with the ex. And then it's continued. And I know that I've had many many excellent hits as a result but I'd like to readjust my baseline lower.

I was thinking that a good way to do this is to visit the local every few weeks with a small BR for me and plan to do 1x-2x min bets. I don't care abt offers there. And "train myself" to bet lower again.

Is this really a silly idea? I wouldn't want to start this in Vegas on my April trip after not being there for 8 months.

Open to ideas. And yes I know it can be as easy as "just bet lower, stupid" but I've had this problem. I started my AC trip at 2.64 bets and those were upped to 5.28 or 8.80 bets - which result in some excellent hits that get stored away or $$ that goes quickly.

Hey Dina. I think it’s a wise idea. We see a lot of people routinely beating $5-10 a spin and hitting handpays but very rarely anything massive and even more rarely coming away ahead. We’ve always gone on the premise that $5/10/20k isn’t life changing money so betting big pushing for those bigger bonuses never makes sense. We won’t change the way we play except we can now play a bit longer than we used to and we still have as much fun as we’ve ever had, still get reasonable offers and maintain a decent losing %.

Hope you’re well.

Hi Dina! You can set limits for certain times of day, take a set amount down for the morning, then the afternoon, the. The evening. If you bet bigger you may run out of funds earlier. I don’t know if training at the local will help, because it is a whole different atmosphere than AC and Vegas and you can go home if you lose.

Thanks. I already do that with set amounts for different sessions in Vegas and AC. And it's treated me well.

I guess I'm thinking about this as a way to help me have a softer landing when I have to reduce my BRs starting later this year most likely. I want to continue to play to my hearts content and I won't be able to at 5.28 bets.

That's very true Billy and Moyra about the jackpot sizes.

I've noticed that my borgata offers aren't any better than 2-3 years ago in terms of FP or comps and my bet size and coin in have risen.

I TRY to adjust my bets based on where I am playing. Granted, I bet at a much lower average than you do, but I was creeping up there and it shows in my Win/Loss statements from last year. I don't mind betting a little bigger at places where the comps matter to me, like Palazzo and Cosmo. The losses are almost worth it to me, because of the pleasure I get when I am there.

But I need to make changes everywhere else, especially at the locals, because I don't care about offers there. This past year I got caught up in chasing Diamond at CET, and then the 25,000 points, and for me it was pretty much a waste because I don't even care about the Diamond Lounges, and I pretty much got what I needed for comped rooms anyway. Plus I was too focused on reaching certain goals each day, and that detracted from the fun. I plan to reduce my CET bets for the rest of this year. Anywhere else, I am going back to little bets and just having fun again.

I don't know if this answered anything Dina, but you sure got me thinking! Thanks!

Makes a lot of sense Chris! I'd like to keep my bets or coin-in higher at Vegas places but need to reduce them in AC. I may try an Empire City trip in the next week or two or three depending on work and see if I can do it. I noticed the creeping bets when I last went a couple weeks ago.

Dina, fabulous thinking! While I have graduated from the .40 -60 bet level to more the $1- 2 level, I have found that the wins can be very nice. Have I gotten the handy yet? No, but I am not really chasing one. I am playing at a level that is comfortable for me. My financial future, plus retirement in a few years, will always take precedence. You know that I have started trying some dollar slots, (bad influence, Kathy, bad influence!) [emoji3] , and there is a thrill betting $5 a spin, but it is only when I am having a very good day, but they are very, very limited.

I can say I now get bored betting .40- 60, but you know some great hits come along at more reasonable bets of less than the $5- 8 range. I think you need to think if would you rather have the bankroll to last longer when there is a dry spell, or would you rather have the chance of a nice handy betting $8 per spin? To me it is all about getting to play as long as I choose when in a casino.

You can do it!!!

Stay off machines where max bet is $8.88.

I think max bet on most of the machines I play is $2.50-$3. If you get bored playing these, just add more alcohol.

When I stayed at MO in Vegas last may, I actually did pretty well on the baby-themed games betting $1.76. But I take your point -- it's tempting to up my bet to 5.28 or 8.80 on them.

For a young single person at the job level you're at, I don't think your current the betting style is not in line with your income.

If it's making you uncomfortable, by all means, do lower bets. But if you're not exceeding your entertainment budget and having fun, keep doing what you're doing!

I, like Zeus have upped my bets but I rarely do max. On the babies themed I try to stay under $2. I really enjoy playing machines like a piano to find which credit is hot, HHH. Sounds crazy but it's worked for me well this last year!

Thanks, Kimsa. I agree that I am staying within my planned budget and am saving lots. But my salary may change fairly dramatically sometime soon if I leave this job and so I want to plan for it some. Also, thinking about the BR I plan to take with me for a 10 day trip is pretty high when I think about it in one chunk.

Thanks!

Thanks, mimi. I've found that I've started to stay at machines too long, convinced they'll bonus. So far, I've actually been fairly lucky with me actually bonusing when I do it but I know it won't continue.

I think max bet on most of the machines I play is $2.50-$3. If you get bored playing these, just add more alcohol.I totally agree with this (for my play at least). I found myself drawn to the 3 reel babies in KC and spent way too much of my winnings playing at the $5.28 and $8.88 level because of the potential. After that I avoid them like the plague because of the temptation.

For me, I end up playing higher bets at M&Gs because I save M&G BR by not spending much at the locals. My trips to the locals are mostly about seeing if I can turn minimal FP and maybe $100 a trip into additional BR for the next M&G. I'm most comfortable at max $2 machines but at a M&G will also go as high as $4 bets and an occasional $1 video slot $9 bet if I'm ahead. At last year's AC M&G, I got so much play all weekend from that TW at Harrah's betting $1.60 and that was so much more fun than having to invest hundreds into a machine at a higher bet only to get a nice win that only brought me back to even.

I say do what makes you happy Dina and is economically comfortable. You're a smart woman and I don't think you'll ever put yourself in a position where you find yourself in serious trouble. :)

That is where I went wrong on my first night in KC!! Never again. I just kept remembering when my DH put in 100.00 and got his tito up to 2000.00 without a HP. Chasing it.. I did. Still had a blast though.

I flip flop between low rolling and max betting. Love VP and find it hard to play quarters, like playing 5.00 a hand sometimes more if I have the BR.

I could not imagine a 10 day gambling trip. I don't know how I would make my BR last unless I had some good hits, but when I get good hits, I tend to be reckless. This is a good question/thought you brought up.

[BorgataBabe]

DK528, I keep saying I am going to play what I consider to be midway bets (1.50-2.00) and no more than this but I always end up increasing my bets.

Personally, I never get any good hits playing $1.00 or less, whenever I try it I feel like it is just a slow bleed. I feel like others, bet what you are comfortable playing with the BR you plan on taking when you go to the casino.

I don't think it'll be 10 full days of gambling, thank goodness! A friend (or two) will be with me the first 7 days and we're planning a lot of pool time and going out festivities. Planning to play to my usual level at Cosmo, a bit lower at Bellagio and then staying at MO with very small BRs those days and plans to not gamble other than at evening for a bit.

Thanks, Ida. Yeah, I need to switch my mentality for my visits to the local, if I continue to go. On the one hand, I don't want to but on the other, want to "practice" lower betting. But yeah, I'm not concerned (yet) about it being a problem just want to ease up and looking for tips.

Exactly, BB. It's the creeping-higher bets that I want to curb. I'm fine betting higher if I plan to but don't like it when I say I'll bet $1.50-3 and then start betting more.

[Elf70]

I’m quite interested in your attempt to “re-train” yourself. I’ve often wondered if I would still enjoy slotting if I decreased my bet size. I think I would as I enjoy playing the buffalo games at a much smaller bet than my HL runs. I think your idea of low playing at your local is a good one. Maybe incorporate Derek’s Tito cash out method at the same time. Challenge yourself to build titos instead of concentrating on the win amounts which will be smaller than your used to. I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

[dvandentop]

Yeah I don't Blame you Comp ratio as you say to how much coin in ratio just isn't as good and paybacks are getting any better.


I looked at my win loss from a couple years ago deffiinitely less big wins yet increase bankroll per trip so I am deffiinitely in the same boat as your thought process as well.

Good idea Elf about building titos. I do that to some extent now but it's for big wins only ... need to drop the threshold.

I'll report back after my first lower-rolling trip about how I felt. I'll have to get over the feeling of multiplying whatever nice wins I have by my old bet levels :)

Cosmo still treats me well. No increase in offers from mlife places to be honest. But the rare true HL betting I do doesn't produce any real wins for me.

Try it for a month. What's the worst that can happen? You may be very pleasantly surprised. I think it's a great idea.

[Georgiagambler]

I can't offer any advice I have no control lol but I wanted to wish you good luck. I think generally you are pretty disciplined and you can probably do it with no issue. Even if I start trying to low-mid roll I eventually digress. I have been moving away from high bets on penny machines and would rather play a higher denom machine with the same bet level. For example instead of $8.80 on penny I might go to $5 denom 2 coin machine. Or if I'm betting $3 penny go to $1 denom - 3 coin. Of course this means I'm changing mostly to reels.

My issue is that I digress too. Or if I don't bonus for a while betting at a lower level, I up my bet because "it has to bonus soon," then I chase at the higher level ...

I'm considering a trip to the local this week to try. Will post here if I do go. Or I may just hold off until my Vegas trip.

No advice from me either. After seeing how much I won on Top Dollar and then to jump around all night, blowing it in the HL room. I did have fun though.
I low rolled in the daytime and saved all my HL time for after dinner. Low rolling being from 1.00 to 5.00.

[goldengreeke]

As one of the kings of low rolling on this forum, let me add my two cents. You will get 5 times more spins betting 40 cents versus betting $2 a spin.

That means you will also have 5 times a better chance of getting in a bonus round.

Doesn't mean you won't still lose, but it gives you a much longer playtime on your bankroll. :)

[kdk]

I'm interested in how it goes too. As recently as a year ago I rarely would bet more than $1.50 on a slot. Video poker a little different, at least on lower volatility games, but you could find me betting 60-80 cents most of the time.

I think the biggest way to re-train yourself is to restrict the amount of bankroll you bring or have access to. I used to bring no more than $300 with me and that could last me all night betting 60 cents unless I had some really bad luck.

That has grown to $500, $600, or even $1000 per day. Mainly because I had some big wins over the past year so I would have that kind of cash in my wallet going to the casino. When I know I have lots of $100 bills on me, I can end up in the high limit room. betting $15 per spin and blowing through them in minutes. If I know I only have $300-$400 on me I know I can't do that and I stay conservative.
I think that's really the best way in my opinion. only thing is that works well on a day trip to a local. on a several day trip though that can be more difficult I know.

[Penguin]

DK528 Hey Dina, you want to learn low rolling? Come on down on a trip with us and we'll show you low rolling. Of course you'll also get copious amounts of drink go with that. hhh Actually more fun screwing the casino than them screwing us.

Heres my take for what it worth . Gambling is an addiction and just like any other addictions your all ways left wanting more and more and ....more . allways chasing that 1st buzz that ya got when you won . the little wins don't excite you as much any more so we play more and higher $$$ amounts to achieve that same level of excitement buzz we got before . and whats really bad is the gambling industry knows this about us and throws new and more exciting game out for us play all, the time . whats the answer ? well as much as i hate to admit it....Abstinence does seem to work for me and having a budget . so that when we do go its with great anticipation for winning when we get there . right now i forecast a $1000 + what ever FP i have for that day i have for slots . minimum ill go with is $600 per day or i wont even bother getting in the car . As far as domination's go i play what calls to me (and i have enough do ra me to play lol) cause some time's certain machines need to be played at a higher level to get them to hit.

[DK528]

That's a good point charlie50 and the flip side of my initial proposal of playing more at a lower level to get more comfortable.

I have noticed I'm playing more this year which I attribute to work stress and loneliness (if im being 100% honest). Both of those will change later this year and so maybe the answer is to just abstain more and plan on my big Vegas trip next month and then limit my visits.

Emotions okay a big part in gambling for me. Now that I have less stress and more happiness with myself, I feel less of an urge to run to the local and hide my feelings behind a slot. I am more excited about the meet and greets and group things now, which was not the case in the past.

You will find your balance, you are aware and working in a direction of your happiness.

Up until 2012, when I was still working full time, I made 3 Vegas trips a year starting back in 1976, and never took less than a $10,000.00 bankroll with me.

Yes I had LOTS of hand pays from the $25 a spin reel machines, but still ended up coming home broke most of the time.

I now take a bankroll one tenth of that amount and bet no more than $1 a spin. I have just as much fun and don't lose that much anymore.

Still get an occasional hand pay with those small bets too.:)

I can honestly say, counting all my gambling trips, including my locals, that I have lost over a million dollars gambling during the last 40 years, and wish I still had that million now!

In the long run the casino is going to come out ahead anyway, so why bet that high when you know the casino will eventually get it all back?

I came back to the local for a couple hours. Gambling to commence shortly.

But I'm having the most entertaining dinner at a bar at the sports bar restaurant here.

First a group of older women have been here playing VP since 1pm and drinking continuously apparently. No comped drinks in NY. They're upset that they have a $150ish bar tab and hero on saying "we had 12 beers, not 28" and slurring their words. They're getting to the point of being belligerent. I think that's a pretty reasonable tab.

Next I've been ignored for most of my stay. Asked for water and got none. Ordered my dinner (hamburger no bun and sweet potato fries) and it wasn't input properly. I don't mind that so much.

Next, the female bartender who was helping me spent most of the time talking to a couple across the way. The woman just accused her of flirting with her husband. And she's being mean about it. The woman has been here the whole time. And the bartender is so so upset.

It's like a mini soap opera in here!

I came back to the local for a couple hours. Gambling to commence shortly.

But I'm having the most entertaining dinner at a bar at the sports bar restaurant here.

First a group of older women have been here playing VP since 1pm and drinking continuously apparently. No comped drinks in NY. They're upset that they have a $150ish bar tab and hero on saying "we had 12 beers, not 28" and slurring their words. They're getting to the point of being belligerent. I think that's a pretty reasonable tab.

Next I've been ignored for most of my stay. Asked for water and got none. Ordered my dinner (hamburger no bun and sweet potato fries) and it wasn't input properly. I don't mind that so much.

Next, the female bartender who was helping me spent most of the time talking to a couple across the way. The woman just accused her of flirting with her husband. And she's being mean about it. The woman has been here the whole time. And the bartender is so so upset.

It's like a mini soap opera in here!

OMG, that sounds hysterical! I feel bad for the bartender though. Jealous bitches are scary!

I just got caught up on your thread, and I am impressed that you stuck to the plan on your last visit. Stay strong tonight too!

And, FWIW, I totally agree with your plan for Vegas. I play differently at different properties. My bets and designated bankroll are planned according to how I value the comps, rooms, & other things about a property. I am not saying I stick to that, as I am easily swayed especially when playing with others but I really try. But I will be in Vegas/Laughlin for 7 nights and a week later in AC for 3, so I have to stay really focused this month. I will play VP & low roll my 2 nights downtown, I will go to the pool or beach at Laughlin and low/mid roll, and hopefully will still have my Palazzo bankroll intact so I can play in the range that keeps my rooms, FP & food credit coming.

How that trip goes will determine the plan for AC, but I expect it will a pretty low rolling junket. I also have to go to Mohegan Sun to pick up a cruise right between those trips and for the first time ever I may just grab the cruise and run....

Anyway, have fun tonight and let us know if there are any fisticuffs in the sports bar! I hope you get some nice wins!

Well didn't low roll my $110 in FP but turned out good. Going to try and just use this for the rest of the night.

Well I bring good luck to people sitting around me! Three times someone has hit the major on 5 treasures when I've been sitting at a machine in the progressive bunch!

She was starting to get very agitated when I was leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if it blew up even more.

Didn't stay so strong on the plan last night [emoji12]

Your plan for Laughlin, Vegas and AC sounds good! I hope to stick to mine of regular play at Cosmo and a little less at a Bellagio then real low rolling for the last three days.
