"No casino in the world can survive financially if they only depended purely on the gains from the house advantage. More often than not, they end up taking away EVERYTHING from the players......" [MYaz]
Now if you have a particular system that has worked reasonably well and you are looking to use it many times in the casino, would these two scenarios make any difference:
1) Repeated playing without any stop-win target.
2) After a reaching the recommended target win, stop & start the next session at another time (or another day).
Which do you think has a higher probability of generating a greater winning before failing? Or don't they make any difference at all? Mathematicians will tell you both will produce the same result but system creators tend to favour the second option. I'm sure that many of you would agree on this too based on practical playing.
The first scenario is not preferred due to any of the reasons below although not necessarily all of them:
1) Prolonged playing will result in feeling fatigued, resulting in making careless mistakes
2) Personal greed will destroy luck (if there is such thing as luck)
3) Casino may change to an "smart croupier" just to challenge you
4) Casino may send out a "cooler" or someone to distract your game
5) Casino will (but very unlikely) ban you from playing
Suppose we accept every systems will eventually perform badly then having a stop-loss would make sense. Even the richest man in the world who does not know how to stop after experiencing multiple losing sessions can end up with NOTHING in the end! Note also that the weathiest person in the world has no additional winning advantage in the casino compared to the second most wealthy person.
So what is the purpose of implementing a stop-win then? In other words, why stop after winning? Is it because of the fear of losing? Or because we hate to lose after winning?
The point for me to raise this issue is because some of us think we will do better by not playing continuously. I'm neither here to support or disagree but to acknowledge our human behaviour having a tendency to do anything to gain any form of external-based advantage or edge. In this case certain people believe that they must not abuse the game by over playing otherwise it may lead to their own ultimate loss. This is more so among the asian gamblers who seemed to be very supersticious with everything.
Now let us suppose we lost in the last session, can we recover our short term loss at another time & perhaps even make a profit afterwards? Strangely the answer seemed to be "Yes" according to many seasoned gamblers, provided the loss is non-catastrophic. And there are responsible gamblers (they should be termed as investors) who are still on a positive bankroll after many years of gambling. Can we not learn something from them?
While it is a known fact that we can lose everything within one night, another not so well known fact is we can win a little at a time. Why not take advantage of this latter lesson. Ancient scriptures have taught us not to be greedy because it will work against us. Forget about luck just this once because anytime you are greedy, your good luck will go away. You are going against nobody but yourself - so remember this! Respect this rule & you will be better off.
I recalled a few instances when I helped a friend by pointing out his lucky timings. He gambled & won a lot - that's the good news! The bad news is he didn't know when to stop so he loss everything plus a lot more!! If I ask you was he very lucky on that day? He was without a doubt but the final outcome turned out otherwise due to his own greed.....
