Chris, I am right there with you. Five years ago I would never have imagined betting and playing like I do now. And by most standards I am considered a low roller. I love the high volatility games and not happy if I can't play them. I bet middle of the road for as long as I can...trying to stay within that budget I set. There are a few games like Lightning Link where you can get a good return on smaller bets when things get tight but even then the bonus pays off better when you are betting a least $2.50. I feel your pain and wish I had the answer cause the casinos have been kicking me butt for the last two or three years. The only way I manage it is less trips to the casino.
