my question above didn't garner much serious response , and i can see why a lot of us would chose to dodge such a question , as it admits to our peers our faults and opens us up to ridicule from other members.
honestly i know i harp on about discipline a lot ,,,,,,,,,,,, and it cant be denied by anyone that its the number one requirement ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but i also understand that theres nowt more depressing than getting wanked on your first machine of the day , knowing full well that you may be spending the rest of it just to try and break even with a possible small loss/raise to finish .
im the first to admit that i was sorely tempted to break my own rules that day and go for an all or nothing biggie ,,,,,,,,,,,, but i somehow resisted the urge . and in hindsight glad that i did.
but it was such a depressing chasing day ,,,,,,,,, that im not so sure if faced with the same situation ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, whether i could hold it together again ,,,,,,,,, or not?? .
i realise a biggie is nothing more than an out an out gamble . but its a 2 second shot at money back,,,,,,,,,,,,, then the rest of your day not spent pissed off.
if it lost however ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i certainly 100% wouldn't chase a 400 loss ,,,,,,,,,, ide just write it off as a bad day and start fresh the next day.
this time my discipline paid off ,,,,,,,,and im sure 9 times out of 10 it always would ,,,,, but who knows in the future ?
so to reiterate ''if faced with a huge loss ,(200+) early doors , would you honestly take an undisciplined gamble out of your own rules/comfort zone???''
im expecting lots of replies from ,,,,,,,,,,,, non gutless(lol) long term members.
dont be afraid ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the captain will go easy on you.
lee :P

Depends where i was, if i was like 30+ miles from my house then i guess would have no choice but to just carry on and do my routes and hopefully make my money back and more.
But if i was just local i would propably just do a few more machines maybe a couple hours worth then just fuck it off and go do something else.
what was you playing to lose 200 on? lol

believe it or not ,,,,,,,,,,,, it wasn't the obvious empire/digit ,,,,,,,,,,,,, that many have experienced similar losses on .
actually it was a lep gold ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, on the sickest nastiest evil pure filth chip in the world .
ive played many of this chip before and since ,,,,,,,, we all have by now .
but this was something truly special ,,,,,,,,,,,,, it was a continuous circle of stepping but costing more to extract it every time , so it was still always stepping after every jp etc etc .
by the time i got a cpl back to back i was 210 down .
and each jp ,,,,,,,,,, wasn't achieved by the normal corner exploits (yes i do know every one).
i got them mostly without hints etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mostly with having 3steps and just going for it ,,,,,,,,,,,,, weird long shot ways , which some of you may not even have had.
just pure filth .
now back to the main question.

Happy to answer this one honestly Lee - I've taken both approaches and it's so much easier to answer the question when you're sat relaxing at home, not pissed off and ready to explode at the m/c that has just made you mad. When you're out in the field it's human nature to make rash decisions.trayhop123 wrote:so to reiterate ''if faced with a huge loss ,(200+) early doors , would you honestly take an undisciplined gamble out of your own rules/comfort zone???''
Taken the undisciplined 'get-out' shot a few times; usually with horses or footy (bearing in mind that lumping singles/doubles on football matches is a relatively new thing, you don't haveta go that far back to when it was trebles/upwards only) but I'd only do it that way if there was a stand-out and the previous few days had been profitable. Never do it/done it via Ob's roulette option
I don't play all day very often at all now due to 'life circumstances', shall we say ... but when I do and something horrendous happens early doors I usually behave myself and take the disciplined approach, you have to grit your teeth and play your way out of the hole. See it as a challenge. After all - *trumpet blowing alert* - if you aren't good enough to make on a days play you probably shouldn't be out playing in the first place.
But yeah, I'd take a punt to recover a loss on occasions
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy
Serious hat on now.
Before the day, you have a darn good idea what you will play. That may include some checking + options, but you have a darn good idea. I'll explain the bizarre nature of my posting in a bit, but if I had a £218 loss, even first hit, I'd suck it on and play out the day as per plan. Even if I knew full well that the day was panning out to say minimise a £218 day to a £100 down day, I'd grind it through. That's the answer to the question Lee has set. I would never purport to even having 1% of the discipline of Captain Discipline, but I can grind and stay focused albeit feel depressed and annoyed when I have to do so.
Some side notes.
1) Just wrote a load of cryptic shit, about ten paragraphs worth, Vinyl would give it a nod, but I thought it was too convuluted and after lots of ferocious animals at the left end of the electromagnetic spectrum (Red Lions of course) type references, for the sake of conciseness, I will say this...
About four weeks ago me and the missus spent the most miserable six depressing hours of our life playing out chipped Aliens on two different suppliers. This was about two weeks after I had spent the most miserable two and a half hours of my life playing out a chipped Alien.
2) Actually just thought of a more miserable two and a half hours of my life. I had diarrhoea at primary school. I think it was my first year. The teacher let me out the classroom and I rushed to the toilets opposite. I dived into the cubicle, not quite like Renton out of Trainspotting, but it was pretty urgent and out splatterred (this is getting convuluted isn't it? No I'm not going on msn....you'll have to read this drivel) well lots of poo obviously. Then I realised I'd made a schooboy error, but that was ok, as I was a schoolboy, but wait what was the error? THERE WAS NO TOILET PAPER....some basket had left just the cardboard tube. Being about five....somehow there was poo down my legs and I couldn't think what to do. I wasn't clatty enough to pull on my trousers and all I could do was sit there and ponder the whole stinky situation. I decided to just bawl at the top of my lungs for help. Unfortunately it was lesson time and at least two doors were between me and the helpful ears of my reception class teacher. So I had to bawl my lungs out for two and a half miserable hours before school finished/or my teacher noticed I'd been missing for a stupidly long time, can't remember which, actually it was probably ten minutes but when you're five that feels like two and a half hours. Anyway my teacher appeared and said "There, there, stop shouting, at least you're not playing a chipped Alien in The Assembly Rooms that's stepping away but playing tight as ****, now don't be such a baby and clean yourself up." All in all, not happy times. Although if I had to relive one of them right now, I had to choose between one, I'd opt for the poo in the toilet, just for the craic....
3) I've had three heavyish to very very heavy, serious dsymennhoria, refer to the gynaecologist heavy type heavy losses of money recently. The milder loss was on a USB stick that was ten boarding and I was experimentationilasating, could have had a nifty walked away a Royal Wells down after the plan didn't come together and I bailed on a heavenly, or is that seventy percent?
The other two losses, and boy were these large ones, were on Blarney Bucks or a variant. Again, I'll not bore you if I haven't already. Needles to say as Alan Partridge might say, needles to say, the word 'compensated' might as well mean 'recyclable vacuum cleaner bag' when applied to cat B3/C Barcrest games on video screens. I've played more compensated Bar-Xs for ffs fffssffs fffss fffs.
Oh yeah, then an altercation with HOF, to see how far I could push him. Another annoying one, Pammy's big box showed up for a nifty but after replaying couldn't even get a swappety bloopah with a Sam Fox or that Chinese bird off that fat and thin program with that doctor with a low sperm count.
Apart from that just dandly squat thanks.
I did play roulette on one occasion. I walked into BetTed, won't say Fred as it'll turn blue and an addict may click it and ruin their life to gambling, then take up gamboling and sustain a dreadful neck injury.
What what?
Sorry yeah, thought big balls McGeorge will walk in with ONE HUNDRED POUNDS and do TEN SINGLES on THE SAME NUMBER. IT IS PURE, IT IS SIMPLES AND I COULD HAVE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SHEETS IN MY POCKET AND I WILL DO A POSTING ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
Anyway I got there and the door was locked.
OPEN ThE FUCKING D**R I BELLOWED.
It was ok, the girl just pressed button and the electromagnet yielded and I walked in.
I thought....ok...ready to do this G**r*e?
Yeah let's do a test run with this £1 coin.
£1 on 4.
The f*cker came in.....£THIRTY SIX SHEETS BIG BOARD or a crap repeat on grand golden GAME you decide....
LOL. I know timing different etc, split second to load up £10, not £1 on 4...would have been 6, but even so, you think ffffffs Gggggggranville.
Big losing day on blarney bucks, £36 pounds UKP worth of THE QUEEN'S SHEETS (you WILL use that in a vid Buddylove - The QUEEN'S SHEETS) back in the sky Rocket (JaCKPOTS RETURN)
So what did I do? Do two *£15 bets on 9 and win £1k..?? Hmmm??? NO AS I'm NOT OB.
So after one spin, £35 profit, I walked to the counter, the girl looked at me, placed me in the drug addict trying to get crack money from a quid category and delayed pressing the button so I couldn't get out the door for six whole seconds.
Where was I?

Verbosity of this nature is always approved. 
Get yourself down this way for a day mate and you might get a better rub of the vinyl...
...erm...
...yes...
...er...
We could snare a few £69.60s from an Al, whilst supping an Ale? :P

i also took a 300 loss before 12am last week due to a bad hit on the roulette after months of keeping away. Determined not to let it ruin my day i stayed out until i got it back through doing my route.
still gutted though as i could have been 300 up not evens but i would have been grateful for that chance at 12.01
