Single line or Multi-Line?

[QUOTE=clwn2]Thanks everyone for the feedback.  I have always avoided multi-liners

  It seems to me that I would have a better chance to hit more royals if I played mutli-line machines.  Of course, but hitting a royal on just 1 hand means you did not have a royal on the other 99, 49 ETC. When you hit a royal on single line you have a royal on every hand. A royal on 100 play pays 40 credits per hand.  I like the 4000 plus the anticipation of DRAWING a royal.

ER-we are concerned with session ER, not 1 hand ER. Eduardo is the only one who plays just 1 hand and hits a royal. Shadow plays 40000 a day to hit his daily royal.

This has little pertinence to this discussion, but I'll ask anyway.  It seems to come up a lot in Blackjack forums when discussing how "your play" compares to the ER of the game.What do you consider a session?  One "sit-down".  One Day.  A certain number of credits played?  A Month?  A Year.  Your Lifetime?The question comes up often.  Might have come up here during the infamous SM/RS debates.

     I consider 1 sit-down a session. If I'm in a losing streak on a certain bank of machines, I might play for 5 minutes and cash out with 1 credit positivejust to put a winning session on the board.  But my sessions are usually 15-60  minutes with maybe a 30 minute break. That's unless a progressive is getting up near 1200.

For Professionals, I think the only way they can define a "session" for "accounting and reconciliation" purposes is to define it as a Lifetime of play.  Almost have to do that if you have a Bankroll for gambling established and the only way it is financed is by wins (or negatively by loses).But for an amateur like me with a BR that can be replenished , that isn't really a consideration.  I loosely define a session as 4,000 credits or one 24-hour period.  If I lose 4,000 credits in a "day", I figure I'd be better off staying in the hotel room and reading Robert Heinlein or Louis L'Amour!

Come on all of you, I just want to play.  Why do you have to make it so darn complicated!
 
But seriously, the math and statistics are complex to be sure. Just the same, even though I don't have much math in my background it helps to know what the heck you guys are talking about with all of your abbreviations and calculations...
 
Thanks to everyone that responded to my post!
