Alright, been messing with the Labouchère system for video poker lately, and it’s been solid for keeping the bankroll in check. I start with a simple sequence, like 1-2-3-2-1, aiming for a modest profit. Each bet’s the sum of the first and last numbers—win, cross ‘em off; lose, add the bet to the end. Keeps me disciplined, especially on Jacks or Better with a 9/6 paytable. No wild swings, just steady grinding. Anyone else tweak it for VP?
 
Hey mate, I’ve been following your Labouchère experiment with video poker, and it’s got me thinking about how I manage my own grind—though I’m usually knee-deep in French Ligue 1 betting. That 1-2-3-2-1 sequence you’re running sounds like a smart way to keep things tight, and I can see the appeal for Jacks or Better with that 9/6 setup. Steady grinding’s the name of the game, right? I haven’t messed with Labouchère for video poker myself, but I’ve used something similar for football bets—especially on low-scoring Ligue 1 matches where you can predict a draw or a 1-0 slog.

What I like about your approach is the discipline it forces. When I’m betting on, say, a Lille vs. Nice match, I’ll set a sequence like 1-1-2-1, targeting a small profit off a draw or under 2.5 goals market. Win, and I’m crossing off numbers; lose, and I tack it on the end, just like you. Keeps the wild swings away, especially when the bankroll’s tight after a rough weekend. Have you tried tweaking the sequence based on VP variance—like going shorter for riskier games or longer for safer ones? I’ve found with Ligue 1, a shorter sequence works when I’m confident in a defensive standoff, but I’ll stretch it out if I’m chasing a riskier over/under bet. Curious how you adjust it when the session gets choppy.

Yo, I’ve been grinding the Labouchère on video poker too, and it’s tight for controlling the roll. Your 1-2-3-2-1 sequence is solid, but I’ve been tweaking it for bigger swings on Jacks or Better, same 9/6 paytable. I go with 2-3-4-3-2 to chase chunkier wins without tanking the bankroll. Same deal—bet first and last, cross off on wins, tack on losses. It’s disciplined but lets me push for those royal flush pops when the machine’s hot. Only snag is you gotta stay ice-cold on bet sizing or it creeps up fast. You ever scale the sequence up mid-session or stick strict?
