I don't know if it's the same issue as with you guys, @michellee and @Haunebu, but I got this
after following the latest link for the Black Wolf Hold and Win.
That's a great approach to slot games. I play them with my wife sitting nearby, and yes, I either lose an amount we can easily afford to lose, so no regrets whatsoever, only de-stress and fun for both of us, OR I win. And even if it's a small win like $4-$5, we are still delighted, because if the bet size is $0.10-$0.20 it is considered a big win, and it triggers this heartening animation, which, in its turn, triggers a feeling of well-being, which we need so much sometimes after a stressful day.
I actually highly recommend doing this,,, as in find a partner to watch your betting.
I have a friend in real life, we are not even so close, but together we tell each other what money we put in and what we do. Things we cannot really tell our real friends and families because well, we could be judged
Then we make sure we tell the other person to stop when it seems bad. It does not always work but sometimes it does and we are happy to help each other like this. I think this is really important in gambling overall because on our own, we have no discipline!
You have a good friend, because I heard stories(on this forum too) that some "friends" encourage you to continue with your betting, like "Go! Go!", and then when your balance is empty, they are like "Oh, sorry, bro! Bad luck".
So, yeah, when in a casino, it's better to have a good friend nearby, a friend who can stop you in the right time, or at least have such friend inside of your head.
