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.
