For a full time gambler it takes monumental discipline to stay away from the negative expectation bets. I'm inured to it, but it wasn't always that way. Boredom can be a huge factor. You'll have times where a positive play is not readily available. So what do you do? Some so called advantage gamblers call it "taking a shot." That's playing a negative expectation game and trying to get lucky. After getting my feathers singed I learned not to "take a shot." I'd rather be bored than broke.
It helps if one has live poker in their arsenal. That way you always have something to fall back on when a good machine play is not presently available. It's always a part of my equation. Should I be playing poker or should I be pounding on that machine play? If they both carry about the same hourly rate then I'm gonna go with the lower variance of poker.
