Been mucking around with different ways to manage spins lately and got curious what everyone here actually does once the reels are rolling.
Some punters seem to keep the same stake the whole session, some press up a bit after a hit, some drop down during a rough patch, and some try to win back losses by creeping the bet higher. I get why people do each one, but with pokies it feels like the main thing you can really control is how fast the balance disappears.
For me, the only thing that’s helped is having a rough plan before I start. Not anything fancy, just stuff like how much I’m willing to burn, what spin size fits that bankroll, and when I’m gonna call it quits instead of chasing. Sounds boring, yeah, but it saves me from doing something bloody silly late in the arvo.
Curious what the rest of you reckon. Do you go flat stake the whole way, scale up after a decent feature, scale down when it’s going bad, or do you think most of these systems are really just bankroll discipline with a different label?
