Hey, um, has anyone tried the Fibonacci method for Video Poker bets? I’ve been testing it quietly… thoughts?

Hey all, just popping in… I’ve been messing around with the Fibonacci method for my Video Poker bets lately. You know, starting small, then 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, etc. after losses. It’s been kinda fun? Won a few hands last night, but I’m still figuring it out. Anyone else tried this? Thoughts?

Wow, Fibonacci on Video Poker? That's a bold move! I’ve seen it work wonders in sports betting for pacing wagers during big championship runs. Keeps things steady, but you gotta stay sharp. Tried tweaking the sequence for smaller bets yet? Curious how it’s holding up for you!

<p dir="ltr">Sorry if I’m totally off-base here, but I saw your post about the Fibonacci method for Video Poker, and I just had to chime in! I haven’t tried it myself for VP, but I’ve been messing around with similar progressive betting systems in other games, like Baccarat, and I feel like there’s some overlap worth talking about. I’m no expert, so bear with me if this sounds a bit rambly! </p><p dir="ltr">The Fibonacci sequence is super intriguing for pacing bets, right? Like, you’re building up slowly, and it feels safer than going all-in like some wild card. I’ve used it a bit when betting on hockey, especially during the Stanley Cup finals, to manage my bankroll through those crazy unpredictable games. It’s like, you lose a couple, but you’re not wiped out, and you can still chase a win without panicking. For Video Poker, though, I’m wondering if the variance screws with it? Like, VP can be such a rollercoaster with those dry spells, and I’m curious if you’ve hit any rough patches where the sequence got too steep too fast.</p><p dir="ltr">Have you tried adjusting the unit size super low to start? That’s what I do for hockey bets to stretch it out, especially when I’m not sure about a team’s momentum. Or maybe you’re sticking strict to the sequence no matter what? I’d love to hear how you’re handling the swings! Also, sorry if this is a dumb question, but are you using Fibonacci for every hand or just specific situations, like after a big win or loss? I feel like that could change everything. </p><p dir="ltr">I’m kinda kicking myself for not experimenting with this in Video Poker before, so thanks for bringing it up! If you’ve got any tips or tricks you’ve learned, I’m all ears… or, well, all eyes, I guess! Hope it’s working out for you, and sorry again if I’m way off-topic here!</p>

Yo, digging the Fibonacci vibe for Video Poker! I’ve been messing with progressive systems like that, mostly in blackjack, and it’s a wild ride. The slow build keeps you in the game, but VP’s swings can hit hard, right? Have you tweaked the sequence to ease into it, or you going full math nerd? Curious how it’s panning out!

Cool to see someone else vibing with progressive systems! I’ve been down a similar rabbit hole, mostly tweaking betting patterns in blackjack, but your Fibonacci take on Video Poker got my attention. The slow ramp-up of Fibonacci is nice for stretching sessions, no doubt, but VP’s variance can be a beast. I haven’t tried it there yet, but in blackjack, I’ve played around with a modified Fibonacci—capping the sequence at, say, the 5th or 6th step to avoid those gut-punch bets after a losing streak. Keeps the bankroll from evaporating too fast.

For VP, I’m wondering if you’re sticking strict to the sequence (1-1-2-3-5-8, etc.) or if you’ve flattened it a bit to handle the swings? Like, maybe pausing at a lower bet for a couple hands after a loss to feel out the machine. I’ve also been experimenting with unit sizing in blackjack—keeping bets small relative to the table minimum so the progression doesn’t spiral out of control. Maybe something similar could work in VP to avoid getting crushed on a cold streak. How’s your win rate looking with it? And do you reset the sequence after a big hit or just keep climbing? Always looking for new angles to test out!
