Been reading a few threads where people talk about having a set approach with their stake on pokies - stuff like keeping it flat for the whole session, bumping it up after a decent hit, dropping back after a rough run, or doing those little step-up patterns.
I get the math of the game doesn’t suddenly change just because we swap bet size, so I’m not asking if it’s some secret edge or anything. More wondering if anyone here has found a method that helps with bankroll control, or just stops a session from going completely off the rails when you’re a bit too keen in the arvo.
Do most of you just pick an amount and leave it there, or do you have rules like a set number of spins before changing, a stop point after a win, or a reset after a bonus? I’ve seen people swear by all sorts of routines and I can’t tell what’s actually useful and what’s just punter superstition.
Would be good to hear some real examples from anyone who’s tried a few different approaches over time. Even if it’s just helped you stay disciplined rather than win more, that’s still handy info.
