first, hit-n-run is my basic strategy. i would
1) cautiously bet $30-$80 per hand, till I accumulate $200 win or so, and end up session.
2) if it keeps swinging up and down more than 3 times, I will end up session once I make even or so.
secondly, sometimes I lost self control, and don't know how to stop when losing, so I just keep chasing and chasing. I know I was doing wrong, but sometimes it is just so hard to simply stand up and leave.
So as a result, most of the times I can chase back my loss and still win some.
Sometimes I lost over $2000, and I just keep betting those bonus (dragon, panda, 3-card-9-over-8), So once I hit, I get all my money back and still have some win. I've hit so many times Dragon (40 to 1) and Panda (25 to 1), and also so many times 3-card-9-over-8, I even hit it by $25 twice. So by hitting these bonus, most of the time even I lose big at first, I still can end up wing.
And I would say the majority of my wining is from those bonus.
But last week, things changed, there was 3 shoes that don't have dragon at all, for 3 shoes, total one panda, that's it, couldn't even believe it! Of cause no 3-card-9:8 either. And I ended up losing big on those 3 session, I lost all my wining money, and down to $1000 starting money again, which was 4 days ago.
So since then, I had to change my play, not to bet bonus, but tried to bet only banker or player. I try to grind it out. If I win $100+ I just end up session. If I'm in a losing streak, I'll reduce my bet till I get most of my money back or just simply give up after a couple of swings.
It's a tough game, however I still like it, coz you always have a chance to win the next hand. And I will update after in a couple of weeks.
What you wrote happened and happens to almost every bac player in the universe.
I meekly suggest to think the game in term of units won or lost and not by the money won or lost.
Per every class of winning situations every player will get the exact same counterpart of losing situations and despite of what many could think, no luck or presentments or instinct or trend following approaches help to get more W than L.
You should consider the game as a lifetime session that can't be splitted into playing sessions that at best could last few hours.
And of course, as Bighurt pointed out, you do not want to risk thousands to win $100 or $200.
For that matter, it's way wiser to see a recreational player willing to risk thousands trying to win thousands.
And yes, it's a tough game, otherwise casinos wouldn't accept $20.000 or $50.000 (or higher) bets not knowing that sooner or later something is going to happen in their favor.
Players like the word "sooner", we and casinos like the word "later".
The rest is just entertainment.
