[00:02] Lightning Link machine at the Bellaji.  He's been watching her for 20 minutes.  The previous player just left after putting in $10 [music] putting in $10 [music] with barely any return.  She sits down,
[00:17] inserts $100 and starts with a bet of $.  [music] of $.  [music] Three turns, nothing.  He lowers his bet to two more spins.  [music] Small profit of $8.  It raises it back to 250.
[00:33] The next spin activates the hold function.  [music] Payment of $340.   He gets paid immediately and leaves. Total time on the machine 6 [music] minutes. Total profit.
[00:53] [music] cycling, a method that exploits how slot machines respond bet levels during different stages of the game.  And casinos have started [music] training their floor managers to identify players
[01:08] who use it.  Because when executed correctly, this strategy can sessions into consistent profits.  By the end of this video you will understand the exact method of [music] bet cycling, which separates
[01:24] tactical players from money burners.  You'll learn why varying your bet size at specific [music] moments can reveal machine behaviors that constant [music] bets cannot
[01:38] detect.  You'll discover which [music] machines respond best to this technique and the critical time windows that make the [music] difference between winning or going home empty-handed.  Most importantly, [music]
[01:54] you will master the discipline to execute this method without falling into the trap that catches [music] 95% of players who try it.  Chasing losses with higher bets.  [music] This is what I need to know before we
[02:10] continue. When you play slots, do you keep your bet the same [music] throughout the session or do you adjust it according to what's happening?  Leave your answer [music] in the comments.
[02:22] Because understanding your current approach will help you see exactly where this method fits into your game.  Three months ago at the Cosmopolitan, [music] a regular player named Margaret completely changed the way she
[02:36] plays slots. For two years she had been a consistent loser, spending an average of $50 every Friday night on her favorite Dragon Link machines.
[02:52] Always the same approach: find a machine, set your bet [music] at $250 and play straight through until [music] your 300 is gone or until you hit something big enough to
[03:07] feel [music] satisfied. He won occasionally, maybe one session out of every five, but over time he was bleeding money dry. Then Margaret [music] learned about Bet Cycling from a former
[03:23] slot machine attendant who had worked on the floor for 15 years. He spent a month just practicing, not even playing seriously, just sitting at machines with small amounts and testing the
[03:37] method.  When he finally implemented it with his full strategy, something changed.  In the last three months, Margaret has come away with a profit on seven out of 12 visits to the casino.  Their average loss on losing nights [music]
[03:53] dropped from $250 to $80. Their average winnings on winning nights rose from $150 to $380. The casino hosts [music] have
[04:07] started paying attention to him, not because he's winning big jackpots, but because [music] his pattern doesn't match the typical behavior of a slot machine player. What is Margaret doing that is so
[04:21] different?  He's using bed cycling [music] with surgical precision and combining it with a selection of machines that most players completely ignore.  But before we break down the exact steps, you need to
[04:37] understand what's really going on inside these machines when you change your bet size, because without this knowledge you'll try the method, fail, and assume it does n't work.  When the real
[04:54] problem is that you lack the critical foundation.  Every slot machine in every legal casino.  It operates with an RNG, a random number generator that cycles thousands of number combinations
[05:07] cycles thousands of number combinations every second.  This [music] chip doesn't care about the size of your bet, your luck, or how long you've been playing.  It is purely mathematical, generating results based on
[05:21] weighted probability. When you press spin, the RNG freezes on the sequence of numbers it is generating at that moment and that number determines your result at that instant.  The reels spinning,
[05:37] the dramatic sounds, [music] the near-win symbols that make you think you almost won. All of that [music] is visual theater.  Your All of that [music] is visual theater.  Your result was decided in a microsecond.
[05:51] Now, here's what most players don't understand about betting levels and machine behavior.  Although the RNG itself does not change according to the size of your bet, [music] the paytable does.  A
[06:07] slot machine has different payout structures [music] built into its programming for different bets.  When you bet the minimum, you are [music] accessing the lowest level of the payout structure.  When
[06:20] you bet the maximum, you are accessing the highest level.  And here's the part that matters for bed cycling.  The machines are programmed to activate certain features and bonuses more frequently at specific betting thresholds [music]
[06:35] This is not a secret or a conspiracy; it's right there in the game's programming documentation that regulators review. Higher bets [music] unlock higher RTP percentages
[06:52] on many machines, particularly in games with progressive features or multi-level bonuses. A Lightning Link machine betting 50 cents per spin may be operating with an 88%
[07:07] RTP. That same spinning machine can be operating at 92%
[07:22] different mathematical return based on the [music] bet level. Slot machine eccentrics who have worked on these [music] machines for decades have revealed something fascinating. When you change your bet size
[07:36] during active play, you are essentially resetting certain [music] tracking elements within the machine's programming.  You are not machine's programming.  You are not resetting the RNG.  That's impossible and
[07:50] illegal, but you're changing which paytable level you're using and how the machine calculates feature activation.  This creates an opportunity for strategic players to test
[08:05] the machine's responsiveness [music] at different betting levels without committing large amounts [music] of money at a single level.  The bed cycling method exploits this by using low [music] bets to explore
[08:21] machine behavior, medium bets to confirm activity, and high bets to capitalize on confirmed patterns. It's the difference between blindly throwing money at a single betting level and systematically probing
[08:36] the machine's current state through multiple bets to find where it's most responsive. This is how bet This is how bet cycling works, in precise detail, and I need you to pay
[08:49] attention to every step because skipping even one element will destroy your results. Step one is the machine rating and this happens even before you sit down.  You cannot run bed
[09:04] cycling on random machines. You need to start with machines that have shown recent activity, but not recent massive payments .  This means exploring [music] .  When you enter the casino, spend
[09:18] 15 to 20 minutes walking around the entire slot machine floor. You are [music] looking for specific scenarios, players who have been on the same [music] machine for 20 to 30 minutes, receiving enough
[09:32] small action to keep them playing, but without triggering important [music] features .  The ideal target is a clearly frustrated player, repeatedly checking their balance, slowing down their play,
[09:47] but not yet leaving because they've seen enough small wins to enough small wins to think something big might come along. When that player finally leaves, you've found your target [music].  The
[10:00] found your target [music].  The machine has been fed with money.   The music has been active enough to keep the player's attention, but it hasn't paid anything substantial.
[10:12] That's your [music] chance. You also want to focus on You also want to focus on specific types of machines.  Bed cycling works best in games with clear [music] betting level thresholds that
[10:24] unlock different features. Lightning Link, Dragon Link, Locket Link, Buffalo Gold and most of the progressive music of Aristocrats.
[10:38] These machines have documented betting levels where certain features [music] become more likely.  The method does not work well on flat-up machines, classic three-reel slots, or
[10:52] low-volatility games where the payout structure is consistent [music] regardless of the bet size. [music] exploration technique that Margaret uses.  It is placed in a bar or
[11:07] seating area where it can observe four or five target [music] machines simultaneously.   He's not playing yet, just watching.  It is tracking how long players stay on each machine, and
[11:21] whether they activate features.  What does your body language tell you [the music]?  When someone gets up from a machine [music] after clearly having put money into it with no substantial return, [music] Margaret makes a mental note.
[11:36] That machine just moved to the top of their test [music] list.  Also pay attention to the machine's location .  Machines in high- traffic areas, near main aisles, receive more play, which means they
[11:52] rotate players faster. These machines are more likely to be in transitional states [music] between cold and active cycles when someone leaves them. Machines placed in
[12:06] corners or quiet areas may remain empty for remain empty for long periods, meaning they are less likely to be in optimal testing states.  [music] Step two
[12:18] is to establish your baseline and this is where discipline separates successful bet cyclers from players who just change their [music] bets just change their [music] bets randomly and call it strategy.  You sit down
[12:32] at your rated [music] machine and start with the absolute minimum bet that still covers all the paylines.  If the machine allows 50 cents to cover all the [music] lines, start there.  If necessary,
[12:48] start there.  You will play exactly 10 spins at this minimum level.  [music] During these 10 baseline turns you are gathering critical information. How many of the 10 spins produced
[13:01] a return?  What was the average return per turn?  Did you see any average return per turn?  Did you see any bonus symbols fall even if they weren't triggered? You got stacked wildcards or premium symbols.   You
[13:14] are not trying to make money at this stage.  You are performing a diagnostic test.  These 10 spins will cost you 5 to 10 depending on the
[13:26] minimum bet.  And it's a small [music] price to pay for the data you're collecting.  This is what the [music] baseline results tell you.  If eight or nine of your 10 spins are completely dead with no
[13:41] return, that machine is in a deep cold cycle.  Get away immediately.  Your $10 [music] trial just saved you from losing $200
[13:53] trying to navigate dead turns.  If five to seven spins [music] produce anything, even small returns on your bet or double your bet, the machine is showing [music] moderate activity.
[14:08] This is your yellow light.  You can continue to the next [music] phase, but remain cautious.  If three or more spins produce winnings of five [music] times your bet or more, or if you activate any feature during the
[14:23] activate any feature during the baseline, the [music] machine is active. That's your green light to proceed aggressively. Most players completely ignore the baseline, sit down, and
[14:36] immediately start betting whatever feels right.  [music] Then they adjust randomly according to their emotions.  That's not strategy, that's playing on autopilot.  The baseline gives you objective data before risking
[14:52] real money.  Let me give you a real example of what a baseline test looks like [music] .  Last week in the area I saw a player named Kenneth [music] approach a Dragon Link machine that someone had just abandoned.
[15:07] someone had just abandoned. Kenneth inserted $0 and set his baseline bet at 75 cents per spin.  Turn one, nothing.  Turn two, small return of con50. Turn 3, nothing.  Turn 4, profit of $6.
[15:24] [music] Turn 5, nothing.  Turn 6, gain of 3. Turn 5, nothing.  Turn 6, gain of 3. Turns 7 to 10, all dead turns.  Total invested in the baseline, $750. [music]
[15:39] [music] Total returned, $1050. Net result, above $ on the baseline.  But here's [music], what Kenneth noticed, that it mattered more than money.  Four of his 10 spins
[15:54] money.  Four of his 10 spins produced something and two of those wins were more than three times his bet.  The machine was showing signs of life, not strong signs, but enough to justify moving on to the
[16:08] next phase.  That's a yellow light scenario.  Kenneth had enough experience to know that this wasn't a machine to go aggressive with right away, but it was worth testing further with
[16:22] testing further with moderate increases in the betting.  Step three is the first betting cycle and this is where the method starts to actively exploit [music] the machine's behavior .  Based on
[16:36] your baseline results, you will perform one of three [music] cycle patterns.  If your baseline showed moderate activity, [music] the yellow light scenario, you move on to low cycle testing.  This means taking your [music] bet to the
[16:52] next threshold level.  If you were betting 50 cents, move to If you were on or, move to with 50 cents or
[17:04] The exact amount depends on the machine's betting structure, but you're clearly looking for the next level .  Now you play five spins at this new betting level.  You are observing if there is improvement.  Increasing your bet
[17:20] produced better results than the baseline.  If in the baseline you had a win every three spins [music] with 50 cents, but now you are making a win every two spins with the machine it is responding [music]
[17:35] the machine it is responding [music] positively to higher bets.  That [music] is your cue to continue.  If your results remain the same or worsen, this machine does not respond to changes in bet.
[17:48] Go back down to the minimum, [music] play five more spins to confirm and then leave if it's still flat.  Kenneth, in his example, went from 75 cents to
[18:01] per spin in his first betting cycle. First turn to First turn to nothing.  Second spin, small gain of 5. Third spin, nothing.  Fourth turn.  He got
[18:15] three dragon symbols and won [music] $48. Fifth spin, profit of 11. Total invested in the first cycle, $10. invested in the first cycle, $10. Total returned, $4.
[18:30] The machine responded dramatically to the increased bet. That's Kenneth's signal to move into an aggressive cycle.  If your baseline [music] showed strong activity, the green light scenario, you move
[18:44] directly to the aggressive cycle.  You jump to a betting level, two or three levels, [music] above the minimum.  If the minimum was 50 cents, jump
[19:03] or $5. This is where you capitalize on a machine that has already proven [music] to be in an active state.  You play 10 to 15 spins at this high level and expect substantial returns.  [music]
[19:18] . You're betting heavily on a machine that has shown clear signs of activity and you're accessing higher levels of the paytable, where the RTPs are better and the
[19:34] features are triggered more frequently. If you get a bonus or a significant line win during this aggressive phase, you have executed the method successfully.  If you make 10 spins with
[19:49] decreasing results, [music] you immediately lower your bet.  The state of the machine changed and continuing with high bets would be [music] chasing losses.  This is the pattern that most players fall into.  They reach
[20:03] most players fall into.  They reach the aggressive phase, win $150, and then continue betting heavily even when the machine cools down. when the machine cools down. That's not bed cycling, that's greed.
[20:15] True bed cycling means you either drop back to baseline or quit altogether the moment your results deteriorate, regardless of whether you results deteriorate, regardless of whether you 're up or down.  Kenneth switched to
[20:29] aggressive cycling with 3 [music] with 50 per lap.  In the next 12 spins at this level, he triggered the Dragon Link Hold and [music] Spin feature twice,
[20:41] Dragon Link Hold and [music] Spin feature twice, winning $178 on the first and $94 on the second.   He also made several medium line wins between 5 and 50. After 12
[20:56] between 5 and 50. After 12 aggressive spins investing 42 [music] he aggressive spins investing 42 [music] he had recovered $47. combining their baseline and first cycle results.  Kenneth was now
[21:09] up $41 from his initial $40. from his initial $40. Total time on the machine, 18 minutes. Step four is the profit protection cycle and this [music] is the
[21:24] most important phase that nobody talks about. Once you have achieved a significant profit during the aggressive cycle, whether it's a bonus or a series of good line wins, you immediately switch to protection mode.  Lower
[21:40] your bet to the lowest level that you still feel is worth playing. feel is worth playing. Typically 25% to 50% of your aggressive level.  If you were betting $2 [music]
[21:53] with 50, drop down to If you were betting $ drop down to You're still playing, but now you're protecting your winnings.  You play 15 to
[22:06] 20 spins at this reduced level while monitoring the results. If the machine continues to produce small, steady profits, [music] you can maintain this average level and
[22:21] If the results dry up, you get paid immediately.  If the results improve dramatically and you start making bigger profits, even with the [music] bet reduced, you can cautiously cycle back up for
[22:37] another aggressive phase. This protection phase is what separates the players who leave with money from those who return everything.  The machine already paid you during the aggressive cycle.  It has secured [music]
[22:51] Now you're testing whether it will continue to pay with less risk.  Most players do the opposite.  They win big [music] and immediately raise their stakes even higher, assuming they're on a hot streak.  This is how
[23:07] [music] winners become losers.  Kenneth lowered his bet to 50 per turn for the protection cycle. He played 20 spins at this level.  The
[23:21] results [music] were mixed, some small gains, several dead spins, but overall their balance remained [music] relatively stable. It went from a total of $81 to $365
[23:38] in those 20 protection transfers. The machine was clearly cooling down.  Kenneth recognized the signals [music] and collected the money.  Final profit $25.
[23:51] [music] and collected the money.  Final profit $25. She turned $40 [music] into $365 She turned $40 [music] into $365 in less than 30 minutes, performing bed cycling with discipline.  Here is a critical rule that former casino employees emphasize [music]
[24:04] .  Never cycle your bet upwards after losing spins.  [music] Only cycle upwards after confirming that the machine is responding.  If you lose three spins in a row at your current [music]
[24:17] betting level, your next move is to cycle down, [music] you never go up.  Raising bets after losses [music] is chasing.  And chasing is how the casino wins billions.  Let me tell you
[24:33] about a player named Diane, who learned this lesson the hard way. Diane heard about Bet Cycling from a friend and decided to try it at her local casino.  He did everything right at the beginning. He explored the floor.  He found a
[24:50] Buffalo Gold machine that looked promising.   He set his baseline at 50 cents and obtained moderate results.   He cycled up to 50 cents and
[25:02] cycled up to 50 cents and got a nice bonus of $10.  [music] I was up $95 after investing only $25. Perfect execution up to that point.  But then Dian made the critical mistake.
[25:18] Instead of switching to protection mode, it stayed at 50 cents per spin.  After five dead spins in a row, he became convinced that the machine was [music] about to pay out again, so he
[25:32] [music] about to pay out again, so he cycled up to $ per spin.  That 's cycling [music] upwards after losses, which violates the central principle of the method.  In the next 15 spins at 3, he lost 45
[25:47] and only recovered 8. Now he was up by only $8. still in profit, but falling.  Tayan should have acknowledged his mistake and lowered his bet or cashed out.  Instead
[26:03] lowered his bet or cashed out.  Instead , he doubled his mistake.  He raised his bet to $ per spin, thinking [music] that larger bets would trigger another bonus.  He burned through another $60 [music] in 12 spins with minimal return.
[26:18] Suddenly [music] was down 12 in total.  A session that should have total.  A session that should have ended with a 95 profit turned into a loss because it violated the cycle rules.  [music]
[26:31] cycle rules.  [music] The method worked, his discipline failed. Step five is the exit protocol, and this determines whether your session ends in profit or regret. You need two absolute limits
[26:46] set before you sit down at a machine.  Your profit target and your loss limit.  If you start with $100, is $200. If you reach $200
[27:01] [music] in total balance at any time, you get paid immediately, no exceptions. Not just a few more turns.  You've doubled your money, [music] you're leaving.  Your loss limit is equally firm. Perhaps it's 30% of your initial bankroll.  If
[27:18] you drop down to $[music] from your initial $100 , you get paid and you leave.  The machine did not respond to bed cycling, or your execution was [music] bad, or the execution was [music] bad, or the variance was against you.  It happens, accept
[27:33] the loss and move on.  The exit protocol removes the emotion from the decision.  You don't leave because you feel like it, or because you're frustrated, or because you're on a winning streak.  You're leaving because you reached a predetermined number.
[27:50] This single discipline will save you more money in the long run than any other money in the long run than any other aspect of bet cycling.  Now let's talk about the banking requirements, specifically for bet cycling.
[28:03] You need more initial capital than for a basic slot machine game, because you'll be testing multiple machines [music] and cycling through different betting levels.  A minimum recommended bank.
[28:16] is $150 if you plan to bet between and [music] with 50ths during the aggressive phases, that gives you enough to do baseline testing on three or four machines
[28:32] baseline testing on three or four machines at $10 to $1 each, plus 100 to $10 for aggressive play on the machine that passes the test.  If you can only afford music, you can spend test.  If you can only afford music, you can spend 50 to 75.
[28:45] You can still use bed cycling, but you'll have to scale everything down. you'll have to scale everything down. Set baselines at 25 to 50 cents and limit your aggressive cycle to per spin.  The method still works at
[28:59] low stakes, it just requires more patience [music] and discipline because the dollar amounts are smaller. This is what a full bet cycling session looks like on multiple [music] machines.  You arrive at the casino with $200,
[29:15] spend 20 minutes exploring, and identify four [music] potential target machines: a Locket Link near the bar, a Dragon Link in the High Limit area, a Buffalo Gold near the main entrance, and a Lightning Link
[29:32] in a back corner.  You start with the Locket Link.  Baseline test by costs you $10. The results show moderate activity.  Five out of 10 turns produce [music] something.  Cycles at a
[29:48] [music] something.  Cycles at a cost of $10 per spin for five spins. [music] The results are worsening, with only a small gain.  The machine is not responding to bet increases.
[30:01] You go back down to the minimum for five confirmation spins, [music] costing $. It remains flat.  You leave having invested and having confirmed that this machine is not worth your time.  You move to the Dragon
[30:16] Link.  Baseline test at 75ths. [music] It costs $750. The results are weak.  Only two out of 10 spins produced anything, and both were minimal.  This is a cold machine.  You
[30:34] leave immediately having invested only $7.50. You move to the Buffalo Gold.  Baseline at 50 cents costs $5.
[30:46] The results are strong.  Six out of 10 spins produced wins, two of them above five times your bet.  This is a five times your bet.  This is a green light.  You go directly to
[31:00] aggressive cycle at $2 per spin.  In 10 [music] spins investing $ you activate free spins twice [music] and end up with $17 end up with $17 in returns.  Now you're up $7
[31:15] from [music] your initial $30 invested in the three machines.  You switch to protection mode for a spin on the Buffalo Gold.  After spin on the Buffalo Gold.  After 15 spins investing $1, the results
[31:31] remain stable and you are at [music] 165 in total.  You have reached your profit goal [music] of doubling your profit goal [music] of doubling your initial trial bank.  Cobras, you tried three
[31:44] machines, you played one successfully [music] and turned $200 into $365 in about 90 minutes.  We're going to address the
[31:56] most common objections players have about bet cycling. Objection one.  This is just changing bets on random [music] and hoping to get lucky.  Incorrect.
[32:09] Random betting changes are emotional decisions [music] without data.  Bed cycling is systematic testing at different levels of betting based on the observed behavior of the machine
[32:22] during the baseline.  Guessing is one thing , strategy is another. , strategy is another. Objection two.  The RNG is random, so the bet size doesn't matter.  Partially correct,
[32:37] the RNG is random, but the payout tables and the [music] function activation thresholds are not.  Different betting levels access different [music] payment structures.  This is documented
[32:51] in the programming of each slot machine.  [music] You're not changing the randomness, you're accessing different levels [music] of reward within that randomness.
[33:03] randomness. Objection three, the casino will kick me out if I do this.  Also false.  Nothing about bed cycling is illegal or against casino rules.  You're simply changing the size of your bet, which is a
[33:19] standard feature built into every machine. Casinos can notice patterns in your play and offer comps to keep you there longer, but they can't and won't kick you out for betting
[33:33] strategically. Objection four.  I tried it once and lost.  Trying it just once proves nothing. B Cycling is about improving your overall win rate over
[33:48] dozens of sessions, not guaranteeing profit on every single visit.  If you try it once, you do it wrong and you give up.  You didn't give him a real chance.  The biggest mistakes players make with
[34:03] [music] bet cycling.  First, they skip the baseline and jump straight to the baseline and jump straight to high stakes.  That's not bet cycling, that's reckless gambling.  [music] Second, they cycle upwards after
[34:18] losses, instead of after confirmed gains.  That's persecution. Third, they ignore exit protocols and continue playing beyond their exit protocols and continue playing beyond their limits.  That's a lack of discipline.
[34:32] Fourth, they test on inappropriate machines such as low volatility Flat Tops. That's using the right tool for the wrong job.  Now let's talk about
[34:44] the selection of [music] machines in more detail, because not all games respond the same way to bet cycling.  The best candidates are games with multi-level progressive features that unlock at specific
[34:59] betting thresholds.  [music] Lightning Link, for example, has four jackpot levels: mini, minor, [music] major and grand.  And the Grand jackpot becomes more attainable at higher betting levels.  When you cycle your
[35:15] Lightning Link, you're not only accessing better RTPs, but you're also increasing your [music] eligibility for higher-level jackpots.  Dragon Link works similarly.  [music] The game has documented betting thresholds
[35:31] where the holdin feature is activated more frequently at higher denominations. Locket Link games have betting levels [music] that affect both the frequency of features and the value of
[35:46] locked symbols. Buffalo Gold has bets that influence how often you trigger free spins and whether you get free spins and whether you get extra wild reels during the feature.
[36:00] These aren't secrets, they're built into the game's design, but most players never think about exploiting them systematically. Games you should avoid for bed cycling, classic flat top [music] games like
[36:14] cycling, classic flat top [music] games like Double Diamond or Triple Red Hot Sevens. These games have static paytables that do not change significantly [music] with the betting level.  Video Poker,
[36:26] because the paytable is transparent and your advantage comes from the perfect strategy, not from varying the bet. Low volatility games like Quick Hit or Blazing Seven Slots, because the variance is too
[36:41] consistent to create exploitable patterns. Penny slots with more than 50 [music] lines, where the minimum bet [music] lines, where the minimum bet is 50 cents or less, because the
[36:53] bet increments are too small to access significantly different payout levels. Here's an advanced technique that experienced music cyclers use.   It's
[37:08] called Comparison Cycling , [music] and it works when you play in a casino with multiple versions of the same game.  Let's say there are three Lightning Link machines in different areas of the casino.  [music]
[37:22] You do baseline tests on all three. Machine A shows weak baseline results.  Machine B shows moderate results.
[37:34] Machine C [music] shows strong results. machine soon, you've identified [music] which specific machine in the casino is the most receptive at this time.  This
[37:48] costs more at first, [music] maybe $ to try three machines, but it dramatically increases your success rate when you move to aggressive cycling.  [music]
[38:00] You're not guessing which machine to play. You are using data to identify [music] the best current opportunity. Margaret, the player I mentioned at the beginning, uses comparison [music] cycling religiously.   He
[38:14] never commits to aggressive play without testing at least two machines of the same type.  He says this single change increased his win rate from 45%
[38:26] increased his win rate from 45% to 62% in 6 months.  The extra $15 to $20 that [music] spends on additional baseline testing saves you hundreds in avoided losses on unresponsive [music] machines .  Let me walk you through one
[38:40] last complete example using everything we 've covered.  It's Tuesday [music] at 7 pm.  You're at the Benetian with $250 in your pocket.  You brought enough money for baseline testing and
[38:56] aggressive play.  You start by exploring for 15 minutes.  During your exploration you see a man playing a Dragon Link Golden Centry machine near the poker room.   He's been there for at least 20 minutes
[39:12] based on the fact that his drink is half full .  His body language shows frustration.  She lies back, checking her phone between turns.  It's getting enough small action to keep [music] playing, but it clearly hasn't
[39:26] hit anything substantial.  You position yourself at a nearby video poker machine [music] where you can casually observe him. During the next 50 minutes you see him activate a small bonus that pays
[39:40] maybe $0, but otherwise [music] he's just but otherwise [music] he's just spinning his wheels.  Finally, he gets paid and spinning his wheels.  Finally, he gets paid and leaves, shaking his head as he walks away.
[39:52] You wait 90 seconds to make sure it wo n't come back.  Then you approach the machine, insert $60 and set your baseline at 88 [music] per spin, the minimum to cover all lines.  Turn one, nothing.  Turn two,
[40:09] lines.  Turn one, nothing.  Turn two, small profit of $3.  Turn 3, profit small profit of $3.  Turn 3, profit of $7.  Turn 4, nothing.  Turn 5, [music] of $7.  Turn 4, nothing.  Turn 5, [music] profit of $1.  Turn 6, nothing.  Turn 7,
[40:23] profit of $4. Turns 8 and 9, nothing.  Turn 10, profit of $9. Total invested at baseline, 8.
[40:35] Total returned, $35.   You 're already up to $2620, just with the baseline test.  More importantly, five of your 10 spins
[40:48] produced wins and three of those wins were more than three times your bet. This is a strong green light.  The machine is active and responsive.  You immediately move into the aggressive cycle.
[41:03] You set your bet at $ [music] with 50 per spin.  A fourfold increase over the baseline.  Turn one, nothing.  Turn two, gain of 18. Turn 3,
[41:18] nothing.  Turn two, gain of 18. Turn 3, gain of 9. Turn 4, nothing.  Turn 5. You activate the Hold and Spin function of Dragon Link.  You play the role and you win. [music] Turn 6 to $50.
[41:33] Profit of $28. Turn 7, [music] nothing.  Turn 8, profit of $. Giro nu, nada.  Turn 10, profit of $5.   You have just
[41:47] completed 10 aggressive turns. Total invested $35. Total invested $35. Total returned $330.  [music]
[42:01] baseline results, you're now up $321 [music] [music] from your initial $60.  Your total bank balance is $381.   That 's a huge gain in less than 20
[42:14] minutes.  You immediately switch to protection mode.  You lower your bet to protection mode.  You lower your bet to 50ths per spin, less than half of your aggressive level.  You're protecting your profit while you continue testing whether the
[42:29] machine will keep paying out.  [music] During the next 20 spins with 50 cents you get mixed results, some small wins, some dead spins.  Your balance fluctuates [music] between 370 and 395.
[42:48] After 20 protection spins, you are [music] at $88. [music] at $88. The machine shows signs of cooling down. You have reached your goal of tripling your initial bankroll.  You get paid immediately.
[43:02] [music] Total time on the machine, 32 minutes. Total time on the machine, 32 minutes. Total profit, $328. You keep the original $60 [music] and now you have $328
[43:17] of pure profit.  You decide to try one more machine with $40 of your profit. You find a Buffalo Gold near the sports betting area that looks
[43:29] promising.  You set a baseline at 50 cents.  The results are mediocre. Only three out of 10 spins produced small profits.  Cycle upwards.
[43:41] 50 [music] during five test runs.  The results remain flat.  The machine is not responding.  You leave after is not responding.  You leave after investing $1250.
[43:56] That $1250 [music] bought information. This machine is not worth your time.  You end the night up $31,550 the night up $31,550 [music] from your initial bank balance of $250.
[44:12] You tried two machines, had huge success on one, walked away from another that didn't respond, and executed the exit protocol perfectly. exit protocol perfectly. This is bed cycling done right.
[44:27] Before we wrap up, let's talk about long-term follow-up and why it matters.  If you're serious about using Bed Cycling [music] consistently, you need to track your results. Open a note on your phone or use a
[44:42] simple notebook.  After each [music] session, record the date and time, casino name, machines tested, [music] baseline results,
[44:54] cycle results, final profit or [music] loss, and any observations. After 20 or 30 sessions, patterns will begin to appear.  [music] You may notice that certain machines respond better than others.  You may
[45:11] find that certain times of day or days of the week produce better days of the week produce better baseline results.  You may find that your [music] win rate is higher when you try three machines
[45:25] instead of sitting at the first one. This data makes you more [music] intelligent over time.  Here is your complete action plan.  First, [music] study this method until you can execute each step from memory.
[45:41] Second, start with a suitable bench. Minimum $150 for aggressive play [music] at $2.50. Third, explore [music] for 15 to 20 minutes before playing.
[45:57] 20 minutes before playing. Fourth, perform baseline tests on two or three qualified machines. Fifth, perform bed cycling on the [music] machine with the best baseline results.  Sixth, protect your
[46:12] winnings by lowering your betting levels after big wins. Seventh, respect your exit limits no matter what.  Eighth.  Record results for at least 10 sessions before evaluating effectiveness.
[46:29] What [music] is your biggest challenge with the slot machine discipline?   Is it about distancing yourself from a machine that just paid you?  Resist the [music] temptation to chase losses?  Sticking to your predetermined starting points?
[46:43] Tell me in the comments because identifying your weakness is the first step to correcting it.  If this video [music] gave you a completely different way of thinking about gambling on slots, give it a like.  If you want
[46:58] more strategies that most players never discover, subscribe and turn on notifications.  Share this with anyone who plays slots, because the more people [music] use smart strategies, the better it is
[47:13] smart strategies, the better it is for everyone except the casino.  The casino floor is designed to make you emotional and impulsive.  The lights, the music, the sounds, the free drinks, the comfortable seats.  Everything is
[47:29] to keep you betting the same way until your bankroll is empty. Bed cycling [music] is your counter-weapon.   It forces you to think strategically,
[47:41] systematically test [music], and fiercely protect your gains. Master it and you'll never look at a slot machine the same way again. Play smart, cycle [music] strategically, and we'll see you at the
