     Dear Friend,
                 25/100 or 65/200 are inevitable to come. Your safety break could lead you to stop at 4/20 or anything like that momentarily but you can not eliminate to get 25/100 as 4/20,5/30,6/20,10/30 or anything alike despite your so called "safety breaks". I know many gentlemen here who says, oh! I won't get 25/100 ever as I am so smart to quit earlier. I agree that you can quit but you can still get 25/100 in the manner I described in 4 sessions of yours or so. I hope you must have caught this point of mine.
                        Since, in a random game we have no control over what will happen in the next spin, anybody claiming to never get 25/100 is a naive only.

Oh, boy, Albalaha....those are some rather rough numbers up there....Thank Goodness I haven't suffered through losing jags quite that drastic.  I do recall that my worst trip was a weekend some 20 years ago at Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, but, even then,  my strike rates were were in the high 30's, nowhere near a mere 25%.  And here's the thing about that, Albalaha....my very next trip was a rather successful one, nothing less than I would have expected and anticipated after such a disastrous trip.

Look, let's all acknowledge: "Spit Happens".  There are times when we simply cannot win a bet.  I get it.  Frankly, I'm rather familiar with those difficulties.  But I also know how to combat those difficulties.  I choose to sit out.  I don't abort the session; rather, I just wait it out.  My bet selection process will come around; it's only a matter of time.  So my job then becomes to make sure that I AM THERE when it does, and that all leads to bankroll preservation; hence, my "no-bet" option.

I apologize in advance, Albalaha, if I am making this all sound just a bit too easy or a bit too simple....please know, it is not.  But I know exactly what I am at that table for, and I have a very good way of going about acquiring it.

As always, I wish it for all of you.  Take care, and stay well.

BTW, I'm still trying to figure why betting less hands is better.  Are there certain places to wait for that have a better chance of winning?  If so I'd sure like someone to clue me in.

Absolutely not, Jimske.  There exists no "certain places...that have a better chance of winning".  It's all even chance.

I bet less hands because my bet selection process is probably alot more "selective" (read: narrowed) than yours is.  That's my approach to this game; I like to pick my spots as the shoe's bias (read: "dom") comes into focus for me.  This methodology pretty much automatically allows ''wiggle-room" for my much-applied "no-bet" option, as well.  So I'm rather comfortable with my over-all play, and we all know just how imperative that is, especially when viewing this game (as I do) over the long term.

Doesn't make my play any better than yours; frankly, your strike rates are just fine, and wouldn't change a thing if I were you.  Play the way that you're most comfortable with, and your chance for long-term success increases, IMHO.

Anyhow, take care and stay well.
