Topic: do you lose on slots? - page 4. (Read 6630 times)

That's what we should do when playing slots because if we keep trying to chase wins, we could lose more money and go bankrupt overnight. But many gamblers don't think about this because they still see that slot games can give them big wins, so they keep trying hard to get that big win. They should be able to realize that slot games can drain all their money in an instant without being able to win a small amount of money.

Perhaps they can win some money, but compared to the amount they lose, there will be more money lost than money won. We must be able to accept the losses we experience, and there is no need to try to recover from those losses because we could experience even greater losses. Instead of experiencing bigger losses, we should immediately stop playing slots and rest, which is more important than continuing to gamble.

If you think about it logically, wouldn't it never be worth what they do because big wins or jackpots can only be obtained if luck is really on their side, whereas they spend lot of time and money with full uncertainty about when that luck will come.
But they already have mindset that is filled with excessive ambition for victory so that whatever they do, they continue to pursue victory as much as possible and of course they forget about the risks that can come at any time.
What more, in games like slots, isn't having too big ambitions also just in vain and just look at how many gamblers experience big losses from slot games, even many people in the country I live in experience mental stress and destruction.

Yes of course and I say that based on reality and also my experience playing in several casino games.
Playing with lot of money but at certain time the money is almost gone with the final ambition and hope of deciding to reduce the bet amount, then without realizing it, winning can be obtained very easily.
From here there will be desire to play longer so that all the winnings will be completely used up without any remaining, this is the real working system of casino games.

But I will continue to recommend gambling without any ambition to make money and we must always be wise gamblers where the goal is just to have fun and continue to maintain control and also limits in managing time and finances.
This would be much better than having to give up more money and time but getting nothing but regret.

Slot games must be used as a place to have complete fun and never hope that you will win the match, slot games must be treated like that, because if considered as a place to make a profit, it is like betting on sports or cards.

I agree with you that slots are a game that will definitely make you lose, and it is true that people will lose more in slot games, that is a certain thing, in any casino because the system is the same, so losing is something you have to accept, budgeting Money is of course money that you have to be prepared to lose, and never want it back, because that will only increase your losses.

They do this because maybe they still believe in the luck that exists if it still applies to them, but even though it could also be that the luck has disappeared, and makes them lose the winnings they have obtained, gamblers tend not to feel satisfied with what they have achieved. get it, where they choose to continue the game when they have won, where the action they take carries a big risk of losing their winnings and their capital, this also happens because of the encouragement of their greed. Self-control is easy to say but difficult to do, that's true. because in my opinion, not everyone can do this or apply this well, it's possible that they don't have self-control which causes them to suffer a lot of financial losses, they get caught up in gambling which has big risks, and they themselves have also made themselves trapped, it will also be difficult to get out of this trap, because it has a strong temptation so that many people are easily attracted and fall deeper into gambling. It is true that the temptation to gamble is strong, many people cannot stop themselves from gambling because of the advertising that is tempting and the winnings are said to be promising, but even though gambling is not that beautiful, there are many risks and bad impacts that will occur if they are trapped in it. in gambling and especially it will be difficult to get out if they are not themselves aware.

To avoid defeat in my opinion, they must have discipline as you said,  where they must be able to control themselves when they win or lose.  Winning is immediately cashed in, losing is immediately left behind that's what they should do to avoid big losses in gambling, because even though they spend a lot of time gambling it doesn't guarantee they will get a win, but the factor of losing is something that cannot be avoided. That's right, all gamblers cannot avoid this, where all new and old gamblers cannot possibly avoid losing in gambling, because there is also a bookie who acts as a host who always wins. so I don't think they can beat the gambling machine,  let alone beat the dealer who acts as the host.

What you say is true: it becomes a trap for a gambling player when they win a large amount of money; it causes them to become greedy, which drives them to continue gambling. Instead of stopping because they already have a win,.

So in this situation, I remembered what I read here in our gambling section: that it is important to have self-discipline, or what is called self-control, in these situations. When we win, we avoid winning, and then in the end, we lose.

Slots games are very risky and totally dependent on luck, so betting here means you have to accept the loss.  And since it depends entirely on luck, you should bet as much as you can afford to lose. Even with your long experience you can't do well in slots games if you don't have good luck.  But you have a chance to do well with your experience and skill in other games but not in slots.  So I think there is no one in the gambling world who can say that he has not lost at slots

I'm not really a fan of superstition so I don't agree that it helps you in a karma way to tip the people near you when you hit a win, all slots are programmed to do the same thing and the probability that they have in there are all the same, unless the machine Gods and machine spirit is real, then those stuff can't be true about slots and if they're true then you're still fucked because you're the unlucky one.
Wow, Second Life is that old? I just see their ads recently and didn't know that they're that old. Haven't played it long enough to explore it, just do some chats with other players and some trolling and that's about what I did there and finally just dropped playing it. That slot machine wins is definitely a programming bug, it's most likely as you've suspected.

I understand what you say, because I also had fantastic moments enjoying games back then, what proportionates me very good memories till nowadays. There is one in specific which I think to be the first contact I had with gambling, even though it was a game without any real prizes and bets involved. It's not a real life simulator like SecondLife, rather it's a french adventure 90's game called Twinsen's Odyssey.

At some point in the game, there was a casino in an alien planet ran by aligators.



And inside the casino there were 3 kinds of different games: slot machines, dog race, and another game where you had to guess correctly in what hole the rat was going to enter (I don't know the name for this game). All of them rewarded coins which were used inside the game for purchases and quests, besides some other stuff like mana, life and trefoil plant which was useful as an extra life in case of death.



However, there was something special about the slot machine, because if you were lucky, it also rewarded you a key to the jackpot prize which was found in a closed room protected by a golden chained door in the end of the casino. Inside there, we found a big wheel and a giant aligator dressed in a suit and holding a microphone on his hand. He congratulated the player for the lucky winning and ordered him to spin the wheel to receive his reward. Once the played did, another aligator holding a wooden club fall from the roof on the room, and both of them attacked the player until he got unconscious, so he was kicked from the casino (the beating was the slot's jackpot).



For a 90's game, it was and still is much better than many of the games developed in our currently days.

I've been using kindle for some years (2 or 3 not sure) and mine was always like that
I think you're right about they not including ads inside the pdfs, but I'm sure that if there was an opt out from customized ads I'd opt out.

"At least let me choose my books!" hahahha already too many ads everywhere

Basically, currently all algorithms in technology such as Google TikTok or Meta all read user behavior so they seem to know what we want. I think this is a new kind of addiction. They want you to spend longer and more time on their platform. Basically it depends on your discretion in using it. If you can use it correctly, this algorithm will really help you because you don't need to think about looking for what you want. I often find what I want to search for on Tiktok, Youtube or Google thanks to this algorithm.

Gambling is a game based on chance, so it is impossible for gamblers to try to get back their lost funds because winnings that have been lost will be difficult to get back, because it is based on gambling which has a random system. Gambling is fun if we or they respond to gambling as entertainment, because many gamblers respond wrongly to gambling where they use gambling as a source of income in life and this is detrimental to them and if it's like this it's certainly not fun because it can lose a lot of their money. On the other hand, people who accept gambling as entertainment will feel pleasure in the gambling they do. because the pleasure in gambling depends on how we respond to it, even with a small win, if we respond to it as entertainment it will feel fun, but if we respond wrongly, a small win cannot be a pleasure because there will be a feeling of dissatisfaction with the win that has been obtained, because It is true that the dealer's chances of winning are greater than the chances of winning for gamblers who are just ordinary players, but they can get big wins if they are really lucky, but this is difficult and rarely happens. victory will come but who knows when because no one can predict it well. If they can predict victory accurately, I think they are people who have their own advantages.

The actions taken by gamblers determine what they will be like in the future, even though in the end it is predictable that they will lose, this can be avoided with self-control,  where when they get a win, even if it is small, they can immediately cash it in or cash out a portion of it which is equivalent to the capital they have. they initially deposited. with those who continue playing, it is impossible to easily get another win, including a bigger win, really lucky for those who can get another win with a bigger amount too, because things like this are rarely seen by gamblers, so if they get it again bigger wins then they have very strong luck. and as far as I know, most of them do this without thinking about the big risks that will occur so they are not ready for the risks that will occur by continuing their gaming session where they have already won. They should be able to cash out the winnings they have obtained and not continue the game session, but that is their right too and they themselves will feel the win or loss.

Maybe you are right and I didn't play as much as to experience the regression to the mean. Without more proof I'm afraid that I'll keep the doubt for all the life.

About the game itself, I'd always thought that the machines were owned by a gambling company, but chances are that the machines themselves were owned by the owner of the land, and odds were modified so you won a little more than the amount you played, just to make you stay on that land and improve the traffic stats. One way or the other, and although I'm not a fan of slots in general, I had a good time back then.

Maybe you were too lucky back then and didn't play for enough time until start losing, couldn't that be? Anyway, slot machines from video games are different from the real ones which are developed by professional companies which are on the gambling industry for lon periods of time.  At video games, programmers don't care too much about making the slot machine work precisely at tge house's favour, because the flux of money running is much less expressive than the one running at real casinos, where a single programming mistake can lead the house to potential losses around the mark of hundreds of thousands of dollars or even a million!

The only similar case of yours I've seen was at Play Store slots apps where we play only for fun, so the more we play, the more we win fake tokens used to open new slots' designs and themes. I believe that is a category of slots games for gamblers who have already hit their limit, and since they can't play for real anymore, they have to switch to a "sandbox" mode.

Ah right, you might be on to something here...

It's been a while since I last finished a book on Kindle, but it was most probably a book that I got from Amazon directly, so they suggested me to buy some other ones based on that title.

Maybe they are not "allowed" to read the pdfs are get the information from that book, and therefore they can't make suggestions on that.

Or maybe they have turned that aggressive behavior a bit down lately...

I remember that, 15 years ago, when I played Second Life (beautiful memories) there were slot machines in some lands I frequently visited, and that I gave them a try. I think that they were badly programmed, because the more I played, the more I won, which is not sustainable for the service provider.

It is true that, as Lindens (the in-game currency) were difficult to buy at that time, I had just a few bucks, so I didn't make a great profit. Chances are that for higher amounts the outcome would've been different, or they were simply bad programmed. But it was a long time ago and I don't think modern slots online have that kind of flaws.

is this normal behavior on your kindle for ALL books or only the ones bought on kindle store?
it never happens here... but 98% of the books I read there are pdf I uploaded to the kindle (it's funny how you can find most of the existing books online somewhere)

almost no ads popping up for me on kindle...

The house edge works like that, it offers you some percent per wager and at some point, you'd win. Casinos use this trick to keep gamblers and also make more money. It happens to every gambler, and you noticed how the urge to gamble big came like it's reflex. Players in slot games should follow a few outlined points from the Op's thread because many a time we are faced with winning tricks. Trying to garner our lost funds back, the won money would be lost, regardless. However, gambling is fun, but to the extent of losing our wins, the player may lose out on the thrills. The dealer and the gambler are competing and the dealer has a higher chance of winning than the gambler. Because they also control most of the results; it's programmed. Each slot machine may be instructed to offer a win after a player spins more than 6 times and another one after 12 spins.

Observing these strategies the decision is then on the slot player to choose his fate, whether to continue losing big or reducing the amount of money he wagers and enjoy the fun. Fine, you understand it's almost impossible to resist this urge, as it controls the brain. The dealers follow these rules or strategies, knowing that after a win the gambler would sit right back and try again. Most time with a higher amount of money.  Gamblers who use the Martingale method risk it by putting more money until the moment of winning comes and they'll win bigger money. Yet this method doesn't look like it's close to beating the dealer or house, as the win may not be higher than the lost money during the Martingale process. If the gambler uses such a method using a bad machine or in a casino that doesn't offer provably fair. He would lose out all his funds, trying to win more using the Martingale method. While switching machines seems right, the best technique is cutting short the wager money; win or lose.

and indeed most gamblers who gamble can spend a lot of money and a lot of time, the hope that gamblers have is a big win where a big win is difficult to get,  because it is also impossible to get that win easily with just a small win. It's already difficult, let alone that big win. also gamblers who just play cannot possibly predict victory or can have tricks to get big wins easily because it only depends on luck which will determine whether they win or lose but most gamblers who put big hopes on their gambling lose,  not win, because It is clear that the percentage of losses is greater than the percentage of wins, because the dealer also doesn't want to lose so the dealer as host will never lose in this case.

Is it really like that? but I once had a moment like what you said, where I gambled for quite a long time and when my money ran low, at that moment the game became good again and I raised the money that had run out,  I didn't know that was a rule, I just thought it was my luck at gambling. and indeed this is a trap for us to convince us to continue gambling  without stopping, the great temptation to gamble is very difficult to avoid,  in fact it is almost impossible to avoid it.

Gambling sites have working system that makes customers more curious and have fun and can last longer to spend all their money, and every gambler has the hope that there will be chance to win but in reality there will be only one answer, namely losing.
Every casino game has an algorithm that gamblers really cannot guess and this is one of the factors that causes feelings of curiosity to always arise and in excessive conditions, gamblers fail to understand it and are aware of things like this.

One thing I always remember is to bet longer with the fun you get and when the money starts to run low to reduce the number of bets in each round then they will give you number of wins.
But winning only when in smaller betting amounts.
This is like trap that is always present and given to all customers who start risking their money.

This reminded me of a pet peeve I have...

If you just finish reading a book on Kindle, they will immediately show you what to read next.

You don't get any second to savor the ending or anything, just consume more!

Physical books are great though, but incredibly inconvenient to store. Libraries help with this, also they keep me reading more since I have a deadline to return them!
