Win Goal

[MrJ]

This has been talked about lately on other boards. I'll give MY opinion on the subject. For starters, of course your win goal has to be within reason. 20% of your BR? Ok, lets stick with that for my example. Lets say your BR is 1K, so $200 win goal.

Here is my view >> If/when you reach your $200, KEEP PLAYING. For how long?

Knocking 20% off of your win goal is $160, correct? Keep playing until if/when your win goal drops to $160, then quit for the day. Keep in mind, even if you drop down to that $160 in ten minutes, it does NOT matter, you are DONE for the day!!

I know, I know.......when do you go back and play again? YOU DECIDE but use some common sense please. (lol)

My point, you can KEEP PLAYING and possibly make (net) much more than your 20% goal AND at the same time, you'll have a PLAN in place to quit when needed and STILL go home with a nice profit.

Ken, this is a most-valuable and spot-on post for single number players, as well as for those who play splits, streets and other good-paying locations.


Ideally, you should only put limits on losses and never on wins; but realistically, having a reserve/lock-in point helps immensely since once you reach this point you can only go home a big winner (playing the excedents without a limit) or go home as a winner, but never a loser since you already won for the day.


Betting those excedents sure help the monthly average.

Good post mate.

"reserve/lock-in point" >>> BINGO, well worded.
