Long marathons create tilt; short cycles create clarity. The 9/3 Rule turns every session into compact loops: play for nine minutes with a fixed unit, then take a three-minute off-screen reset to log results and decide the next step. It’s simple pacing that protects your bankroll and attention—without killing the fun.

Your baseline setup

Unit: 1–2% of bankroll per spin/hand; never change mid-cycle.
Timer: 9:00 countdown visible; when it ends, hands off the bet button.
Stops: close the day at +2 units or −3 units, whichever comes first.
Vault: skim 20–40% of any new equity peak and do not redeploy the same day.

Pick games that fit the cycle

For slots, favor clear mechanics and fast rounds if you’re chasing missions or counters; for live tables, stick to rules you can execute perfectly. When in doubt, choose lower variance for steadier feedback inside a 9-minute window.

The 60/30/10 split (weekly)

60% Core: your stable titles for mission progress and rhythm.
30% Explore: new/event games at half-unit size inside the same cycle.
10% Speculative: high-volatility experiments only when Core is green.

Log what actually matters

One line per cycle: game/market, start→end balance, best peak (for vault), mood 1–5. After a week you’ll see which times and titles keep you calm. For general safer-play guidance, check BeGambleAware.

Remember: RNG doesn’t “heat up.” The edge comes from structure—short cycles, flat stakes, planned exits—not from hunches.

Quick checklist

Unit set (1–2%) and 9:00 timer running?
Profit/Loss stop written and visible?
Vault rule active for new peaks?

Bottom line: the 9/3 Rule keeps your sessions light and your numbers honest. Play in loops, protect your peaks, and let the log—not the rush—decide the next cycle.
