Ok, after a month of play on a sim, of what I've learned is called the "cancellation" method, I'm really comfortable with the results, and ready to try it out in real time. In the sim, I've been using $500 as the pre-determined amount, and have been hitting it, or a few units shy, or surpassing it, about 90% of the time. I understand the importance of the bankroll, and I feel comfortable with 5K. So far I've never had to dip below 2K, and even in that case I recovered. (Now I just have to convince the wife of the importance of the bankroll).
I've also now been able to mentally do the sequence, even if it gets quite long. If it gets incomprehensible to follow, I'll cut losses at that time and start fresh. Also, if down more than I'm comfortable with, I can restart the sequence, and get back to my initial point.
Yeah, it sounds pie-in-the-sky, but it's been working for me. The most important thing is having enough bankroll to complete the sequence.
My idea is to try twice a week, alternating at the two casinos here, with a goal of $500 each time. And to walk, once the goal is hit.
Now I'm wondering, assuming (and that's a big assume) that this is successful, does a $500 win twice a week (at two different casinos) draw too much attention? This is the only obstacle left that worries me. My thinking is that 500 is small potatos to them. I hope. Any thoughts?
(Now to convince my other half that this all makes sense)
