Star Catcher - Classic Slots - Regression Session #4
After such a short session of Galactic Odyssey, I wanted to remain in the science fiction genre. So I chose to play Star Catcher this time around.
Star Catcher is another classic slots game.
Star Catcher has a telescopes and crescent moons. It has the planet Saturn, satellites and those mysterious U.F.O.'s no one wants you to know about.
Even cooler, Star Catcher has a shooting star falling--and the sound of a comet falling to go along with it.
Actually, since shooting stars burn up in the upper atmosphere, I don't think they make much sound. This one sounds like blast off or a wind tunnel or something. Realistic or not, I like the shooting star sounds.
Oh, I wanted to take a moment to get technical.
Let me mention why I like the classic slots for the Regression Method.
On the 9 reels, the bets are usually in increments of a nickel, a dime, a quarter and a dollar. If you win a quarter-based bet, you can't really put half of that quarter in your pocket and bet the other half. The dime is the closest denomination you can use.
With the classic slots, you can lower the bet in dollar increments, or use the line method to lower the size of your bets.
I wanted to point this out to show the care I am taking to follow John Patrick's advice for playing his systems.
I am a conscientious slots player. I'm fastidious about slots. You may not have known that about me.
My Star Catcher session was 12 pulls long. I had one winning $10 pull 6 spins in. Otherwise, the rest were losers.
This time around, the other pillar of John Patrick's money management philosophy saved me from losing indefinite amounts of money. I came up against me loss limit.
For those who haven't been reading since the beginning, loss limit is generally 60% of your session bankroll--if you are using the John Patrick money management methods for slots success.
My standard bankroll is usually $50 per session, which is what it was here. So my loss limit was $30. When I hit thirty dollars in losses, I'm supposed to walk away.
Which is exactly what I did.
That would be my 4th session of the standard Regression Method. These last two sessions were brutal, because I lost nearly $60 between them.
That means I am down playing the Regression Method. This news has me bewildered, and I'm going to have to reevaluate the way I am executing John's techniques.
I have a lot of soul searching to do. Of course, this experiment is not over by a long shot.
You might think 4 sessions is hardly enough to test the greatest slots system known to man.
Well, do not worry. I am going to continue these sessions with a variation on the Regression Model. I intend on 4 more sessions of the 3 Coin variation of the Regression Method.
3 Coin Regression is for veteran players only. Point values can really change in this round.
Starting Money: $539.02 Ending Money: $507.02
