can't help you much....... two in a row..... but i'm the guy that quits when he's with in one standard deviation above his expected value.nc-tom said:Have been on a hellacious loosing streak the last few months so wanted to get some feedback on what is the longest number of consecutive loosing sessions suffered by our illustrious posters. This might fit in the misery loves company catagory:
this might make you feel better i once had an eighty unit loss in one session. it took me ten sessions to come back from that loss.
i don't quit if i'm behind till i run out of my trip bankroll.
sorry to hear that you are have a bad streak. i know it is hard to take.
very best regards,

I've lost over 100 units several times. I played for many months before I was actually up money overall. I thought about quiting a few times after I had several big loses in a row. but i always won my money back.

six ssessions ago i was at my all time high of 1,345 units. that was six sessions ago now after those six sessions i'm at 1,270 units. thats a loss of 75 units over six sessions. it could easy take me ten or more sessions to get back to that all time high.nc-tom said:Have been on a hellacious loosing streak the last few months so wanted to get some feedback on what is the longest number of consecutive loosing sessions suffered by our illustrious posters.

it could easy take me ninety nine or more sessions to get back to that all time high.:yikes:
i suppose Mr. Griffin's determination and statement lends new meaning or at least understanding to what having a one percent advantage is all about.

hmm let me re-phrase my post above ......Sonny said:Peter Griffin determined that a player will only be at an all time high about 1% of the time. For 99% of your lifetime you will have the nagging feeling that you once had more.
