Your friend has some good points, you know, it is about the right time for it or a fateful/lucky day but if you didn't gamble on that day, it will pass you by. Like what my brother narrated to me yesterday, he has been spinning for so long without success, but a few days ago, he wanted to spin but something took his attention for hours, and because of that, he postponed it. But some hours later, he returned, and the very first game played earned him about x12 of the amount wagered. Can you see the insight in it? There is a certain time for a particular successful betting but if you do not bet more, you may never get that time right.
My brother might be wasting his money earlier than that right time without winning a single bet. But for the fact that he bet at the right time, he won. What if he didn't bet at that time? He will never win anything, that is what your friend is trying to tell you, you bet more not to miss that right time. But this shouldn't have to be a do-or-die affair, gambling is never a guaranteed means of gaining money so I don't believe or want anyone to believe they can be making some money from it by all means. We should even delete that mindset but bet when we have the opportunity and have the fun, and peradventure we win big, it will be an added advantage to us instead of putting our minds on the money all the time. This can cause impatience, addiction, aggression, frustration and many more.
Your brother and absolutely no one knows whether the next spin will be winning or not. It makes little sense to think about it in reality and here's why. If we have no way of knowing, then why worry about it? All we can do is spin and make a deposit. Obviously, this is a negative action for our balance, because slot machines have a certain percentage of return on winnings. All we can do is choose a slot machine with the highest possible return (I don’t know for sure, but it seems to be 98%). This does not guarantee us a win, but at least we will lose less compared to others.
It is a mistake to think that we will definitely get a jackpot when we play every day. Even if we win it right away, then in the end we will definitely want to win again, and the player will return and lose everything completely and even remain in debt. I've seen hundreds of these stories, it's like reading a book in which the ending is known. If everything is already known, why enter the game at all, maybe some players think that they are the chosen ones or kissed by luck?
