Max Coin Quarters vs. Single Coin 50 Cents

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

now i start to think of games that return 99.99 as a chess game, think of it ever 0.1 % missing is a pawn and think of your opponent as a grnad master or just as good as youyou won't know until you play him if hes better than you so try at your computer in the house oppose to the casinos and try to beat that 99.99 being a pawn down and if hes just as good as you or better then the story will always end the same

Martingales do nothing to the house edge. You will win more often until you come crashing down. I don't know where you got the idea that it changes the edge, but throw that thought away right now.

Over the years I have tried dozens of strategies in an attempt to create a low cost, small bankroll, exciting way to play today's negative VP games.  Most players aren't interested.   The majority of VP players who play negative games would rather pay more so they can experience a max coin royal flush, even if it costs three times more to do so.I got over this years ago.  This is important information to know.   As pay tables have dropped, the cost to play VP has increased.  You can suck it up and pay more for your play or do something about it.   When the house edge is 25% will you still be buying your royals?

Dude. I thought you went from single coin to max coin for that exact reason?A royal flush cycle may be 40,000 hands but a Phil cycle is around 200 posts. You keep ending up back where you started! I know you got up at 2am or something, but this entire discussion has already been had. Several times!

Phil is correct for his goals as a recreational player. His goal is to reduce actual losses per hour.
I've said this before, but his, and anyone else's best bet is to play at home where the cost is $0.00 per hour!

the martin gale could work in any game, suppose you say roulette, highest record was 62 colors on a single wheel? fine lets roll up to 104 cover bets, as long as the house is not cheating and i and the casino do have a limit on table max then i can always recover that particular starting beti  saw 9/6 jacks eat alive 5 1/2 bank rolls of 4k before spitting out one, do i have 10 banks of 0.25/50/1/2/5/10/20/50?/100?/200/? i do  not and not sure if there are machines that take that last 3 lol but it could work

Another consideration worth considering is how much better comps will you get if you play max quarters. It's very possible it would be higher for equivalent coin-in because the base paytables are lower to start with. Unfortunately that requires trial and error to estimate.

It's the same reason why very few people play slots at home for fun.It is true that the best strategy for an individual player depends on weighing all of their goals.

Most of us pay way too much for our RFs. Embrace quarters. If you must walk away after an hour out of sheer boredom, so be it. Come back later. To quarter, a relatively safe haven. Though at Caesars, the Progressives are utterly regressive on your bankroll.
