In other words how do you decide for your method what is the stop loss point and what is the win point.   

Well...like i said in my other post....testing will show a drawdown pattern. Stop loss has to be lower or you are  giving up before a low point you have seen recover many times. Depends on the system. 1.5 X the common drawdown u have seen in testing perhaps? You should have a feel for winpoint too if you have tested enough.
that's harder because i find it far easier to stop when losing than stopping when winning.

Do you think a stoploss using no. of spins rather than units won/loss is possible? (Or maybe a combination of both.)


I know in some of Vic's cycle-based methods you would stop after a full cycle of spins.

What to do when you're winning can be a tricky business - on Betfair for instance, I kick myself for 'greening up' to a no-lose position too readily, while not dealing with the losses in a similar way.

A 25 % loss limit based upon the session bankroll. A 10 % win goal Guarantee. Once the  guaranteed goal has  been achieved continue  playing with the EXCESS  until the  FIRST loss occurs.

No sweat.

I thought you were going to say "I just have to get me some money" for a second there.

The perfect loser never stops until he consume his bankroll.

The dispersion Killer never stops until he consumes the enemy bankroll.

This will take months to happen.......

Dispersion killers do not have a stop loss because they never lose on the macro-game.

@ ND i know exactly what you mean.
I for sure respect JP for his clever ways that i read about.
I have not read it all, but some chapters and does was a really nice read.

I like his view on trending and charting for domination.
I base all my selection upon that now, did not do that before.

JP help me come to some very valid and good conclusions.
Just a simple thing like three bets and if you don't jump on board a trend you quit.
Avoiding the big hole and keep things short and strict losing less.
And opposite towards that winning when you win using Regression Up & Pull which is much superior then flat betting.

I have his Money Management e-book and his Roulette book with 400 pages.
On my to do list is to read them from beginning to end.

Next i will also buy his sport-betting book.
Just because i like his mentality.
Like keeping short and small loss limits and small win goals.
And like his MM techniques about capitalize more when you on a hot strike.

@ Turner i have one year of income for gambling and i will go pro after 1 sep.
Then i will almost quit work and just work weekends.
Then i will split time for work, my kid and gambling.

It is not like that now.
Work, my kid and kindergarden for dogs.
Very little time for gambling.

I have my own team do.
We are two and will rape most casinos around my area.

@ND and Sputnik - can you recommend the ebooks and books to read about JPs ways clearly. Whatever i have learnt about him is from ND

May be for playing even chances. May be for playing columns and dozens. Do you think this will work on systems that thrive on huge drawdowns, like playing straight-ups. A great example is Ace of spades from ignatus. Is 1.5X of recovery point the only way to identify when to get off. Is fixed number of spins very effective way to decide when to stop? What other elements have you folks used to indicate when to get off?

don't Get off it is impossible to escape from dispersion....


Bet less.

  until the master finishes his course on killing dispersion this humble student has to look a ways of getting off

OK! The reason I started was to figure out if there is a better way of understanding when to stop, other than going for a percentage loss/gain or a set number of spins. Seems like, there is none.

Now, I wanted to share a method that I have been adopting for some  of my sessions. It is based on standard deviation of your bankroll. Anyone following/adopting such a thing. If not, I will share the way I am doing it and will look for feedback on how to improvise it.

Gramps!

I am with Turner on this.  Testing dictates where you cut and run...and testing also dictates where you jump back in...and testing also is going to guide you in progressions if you are using them both positive and negative.  We probably differ on our styles of play but the testing and pattern recognition aspects I think are common ground.

Common sense regarding the percentage against your session bank and overall bank are obvious considerations as well, and your method of play obviously effects the entire bet selection and money management aspects of the play.  My playing a single number or two versus someone on even chances is going to be vastly different in spin count simply due to anticipated strike rates, drawdowns and recovery ability.

With that all being said.  I firmly believe massive testing is the first and foremost critical aspect.  You never see the same thing twice...but you certainly see trends develop and evaporate and everything in-between and with enough experience you don't get rattled and can bet accordingly.  Do we ever have it locked down?  Not likely.  But we certainly can get out or change methods on the fly and give ourselves a fighting chance to prosper.
