What the heck is an individual process! Either you have a positive EV play or you don't. There are bankroll cosiderations of course, but I sense some sort of voodoo process in this email.
At most casinos these days there are no positive EV plays without promotions, so you must be able to evaluate promotions to be an advantage player.
Newbies beware of this misleading information.

That being said, it's hard to turn down 150 in free play, or even 50 , for me when I know it's on the table. It slightly increases the risk I can take. It's influenced me to take trips or not, in fact, I built one of my methods around collecting free play from many venues at once. The RFB also factors in.

See, promotions have a way for me of potentially producing a snowball effect of breaking rules. I say potentially because it doens't happen much, but it still can happen.

Our brains etch that information in cause a royal, i don't care how seasoned you are, is a big deal to our brains and bodies. It imprints, and it's always a huge boost.

The key is not to keep taking that large risk, because when the winning stops, you open your bankroll to large drawdowns. If you have taken a large risk and won, get back to the original method as quickly as you can. I believe this way you keep more of those windfall wins and build confidence as a successful gambler at the same time.
