NO, it is all about average bet and total number of hours (amount of time).

Only exception is a really big loss in a short time, lets say, $40,000 in only 20 minutes of play --- that would be taken into consideration.

Now, the one quick bet thing isn't the worst idea if you want to do an all or nothing for the $$$ type scenario.

I'll often walk up to a roulette wheel (while passing through the casino to the pool) drop $100 on black.. and then just continue on (win or lose).

So, you might turn your $300 into $600; which is far better than any comp you would receive for limited play; of course, you can weigh the downside of this scenario.
