FF you said: At first, you keep winning left and right. Then all of a

I've noticed this too, FF. I think it's the nature of gambling. I
believe the bast tactic to off-set this is to be content with small
wins and get out while your ahead. As soon as you notice things
beginning to go the other way, fight off any greed by pressing the
exit button and go for a walk.
