I think almost everyone on this forum would agree that the odds
don't change regardless of whether you change machines every X
dollars or sit there all day (assuming game and pay tables were the
same).
However, I am sure there is a physiological effect in play here.
Some people might "feel" better about leaving a "losing" machine,
even though they know deep down that there is no mathematical
benefit to do this. Personally, I like to put $400 into a machine
(playing quarters) so that I don't have to keep feeding money into
the machine. I find the "act" of feeding money into the machine to
emphasize the fact that I am losing. Plus by having lots of money
in the machine I don't have to keep an eye on credits and can just
focus on the cards and get into a nice rhythm (I love it when I get
into the zen state where I can play very fast with total focus.
Doesn't happen often enough!).
Before I knew anything about VP I used to use a Martingale style of
starting with 1 coin and increasing by a coin everytime I lost. Of
course, I abandoned this quickly once I discovered it was costing me
over 1% of return (god bless the internet!).
Small points, but I guess this defines my VP style. Anyone else
have any other methods?

It is purely a personal decision whether to move on or to stay,
since
it makes no difference in venues like LV, as long aa the paytables
are
the same. A vp machine has no idea what it is doing, in terms of
what
it is paying out.
But, we have been through this before, a million times.
