Topic: Don't be an idiot,don't play slots (Read 82 times)

For me it is just that,the fact that they in most slots add some extreme multipliers which can go to big,I mean really big wins is what bring people to chase them,personally I think that these complex software developing teams are making the games even more tempting by adding new elements to the addiction.

There is Pragmatic Play which is happy with their shitty multipliers up to x21000 max as far as I know and there is Play n Go which lately is really pushing the limit,they had the x100 max multiplier but to that they added sticky wilds in games with such multipliers making the chance to win huge.These are the elements which deceive people.

Perhaps not all the people who play slots are playing to win, some are actually playing for fun which the game can provide believe it or not, and will not mind that they have lost more than they have won from slots.

 Continuing to play slots even though you lose does that make you an idiot the only makes you a gambler who is not gambling for money but gambling for fun especially to enjoy themselves and ease the daily pressure that they may be facing.

When often playing slot machines, the sense of addiction will be easier to absorb than sports that sometimes have boredom, because slot machines will not know the time as long as you still have a lot of balance in the account, I have how to feel this happens when too complacent on slot machines.

That's because we like sports so we can win with bets even though it's with a small chance because at least there is analysis you can determine which bets are sure to win.

Honestly, every week always starts with single/multi sports bets when there are more winnings then it will be switched to another game if it's boring.

I do not find convincing reasons why a person would prefer to bet on his luck in playing slots, especially if he is convinced that it is a waste of time and that no one has won or will win more than he lost. I also do not understand why people refuse to be convinced that these games are nothing more than software controlled by developer teams and complex systems that can be controlled. The explanation that I find logical in this case is that users enjoy game designs and are tempted by the coordination of colors and elements. Otherwise, why would someone refuse to actually bet on their luck in sports betting?

I consider that these reasons alone are sufficient to make me immediately stop practicing it, and in the most extreme cases that I become addicted, it is possible to compensate for it with betting games or even roulette. These games are designed to make you addicted to them and there is no other way to profit from them than that.

The slot game and most of the casino game was based on the algorithm,So if you correctly predict the betting your betting will be multiple to 2x,3x,4x,6x.But the saddest part is the initial will be loss on every betting in casino for the wrong prediction.Casino game is based on the prediction and more risk.If you don’t want to risk,kindly avoid of playing casino.You can have the sports betting,the casino had the huge possibility of increase the money like 5x or 6x of your initial betting money.The gamblers who doesn’t want to take risk in the gambling site should choose the sports betting.The sports betting was based on the sports knowledge.

Aren't we aware that slots game is a chance-based gambling game?  And the result is already ready even before we press the spin button, the thing is what result script we can get.  It shouldn't be compared to sportbetting because they are two different types of games.

I believe it is not the slots that are the problem but rather how players play slots. The problem I see with slot players is that they are not contented with minimum multiplier wins.  Many of these slots players (including me) do not stop playing until we hit 1000x+ multiplier.  Others even try to get more winnings which often results in a loss.

But yeah, I agree with @OP that if we want to have a better chance of winning, it is better to engage in sports betting if we are sports-savvy or have friends that know a lot about teams and players..

Gamblers like slots because it's a brainless game. They just want to relax and have a good time with some chances of making profit in the end. Of course it comes with a price when compared to sports betting, for an example. In slots all you have to do is to click the roll button, while at sports betting you have to carefully analyze the teams and players involved, recent news, the pros and cons of each competitors, what inevitably demands a long time from the gambler.

In the end, you may hit more consistent results on long run when compared to slots, but for someone just willing to have some fun it might not worth at all considering results aren't guaranteed. First, because sports might not be a subject of their personal interest and second, because it's too time demanding, and they might not have this time disponible due to another appointments from daily routine.

Well one person that plays everyday will not call that often a big win if he hits it once every month,he will not think that he is asking for to much at least this is my logic when playing slots,since I play every day I think that once a month I should at least hit a max win especially if I play the same slot all over again.Pragmatic made me learn the hard way there is no such thing unfortunately and although I agree there is nothing wrong chasing the big win and don't expecting to often to hit it I know that with the passing of time this will lead to addiction which is better to stop it before it gets there as once there then there is no way back.

How does playing slot make someone an idiot. Its part of gambling, if so then you should just say everyone should stop gambling if anyone does them he is an idiot. The so-called slot your talking about there are people who are successfully making money from playing it. Just say you have been unlucky at it and perhaps you should try something different im gambling or rather quit gambling.

Odds are easy to see that slots aren't your friend.  But people Chace the big win and if they find it entertaining than why not?  I'd say the same about the lottery.  The odds are so bad but people dream of the big hit.  I do admit slots are a little more entertaining than some basic table games.  So long as you don't expect to beat the house all that often I don't see an issue with it.

Exactly.We need to focus on sport betting because as long as our focus is on slot machines no one of us can say that he is free from addiction,the fact that we always go back to play slots shows a form of addiction which unfortunately hit us hard,really hard in the long run.

When we focus on sport betting the desire to win instantly is somewhat forgotten and the feeling or urge to gamble goes in remission which means we are recovering little by little.That is why I decided starting from today not touching slots again as I lost really big during today.

The game is difficult to control when you start to feel comfortable then the defeat will continue if you force it, here I feel how the sensation of playing slots is more stressful especially when you have found a high multiplier the feeling of wanting to continue the game is always there.

Now more focused on sports betting sometimes multi bets that become something different with small bets can be profitable and from that little profit is always played back in slot games to find luck again.

Slots will not be a priority in betting but sports will be the most bet at this time.

I also used to play a lot slots and I was happy when I used to Play n Go slots in the beginning getting x1000-x3000 a bunch of times during summer 2020,then I switched to Pragmatic and I got a near max win at Fish Eye slot there as x9833 multiplier.I came back to the Return of the Green Knight and won x11339 multiplier there,maybe I am asking a lot to win and I am asking it all at a short amount of time,judging from what you guys are saying I am starting to consider myself lucky,nevertheless it is much wiser to bet on sport rather than on slots and that is why I created this thread.

I’m a mixed player - I bet on both sports and slots. One thing I have realized over the time is that each time I make a correct prediction and then switch to slots thinking I can increase the money there with some lucky multiplier, I always end up with nothing.

It’s as if I just switch to slots and lose everything - while sometimes if I’m quick to realize after some wins and losses I’ll quit the game and continue my sport, if not my balance will also be drained. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a 100x multiplier since I started gambling before all I get is 5 - 30x never more than that.

All have their own perspective in assessing a game in gambling, including in this case is the slot.
Indeed, when looking for a game sometimes we also have to pay attention to the benefits but on the one hand we also often find people who play slots just to make their minds happy because they see visualizations that they think are very worth seeing.

I personally have now reduced the slots a little because I really prefer sportsbooks but indeed on several occasions I also still play slots when I'm bored and have free time.
In terms of profit, it is a little difficult to predict because after all they are just a game of luck and we are also difficult if we force the luck we have but on the other hand, there is another thing that is obtained from playing slots because sometimes I have realized that I will lose in this game but I still do it even with minimal capital but I really like visualization and the losses I get in the game I consider as payment for seeing the visualization of the game I did.

I feel you, bro. My highest multiplier in slots is x200 and that happened recently. I was supposed to be amazed at how large the multiplier was but when I consider all the losses, I am still unhappy with the results.
The saddest part is, after that x200 multiplier it took back everything including my capital. That may be the worst experience I had playing slots. I mean, I totally know that could happen but there was this little thought that I might win back all that I have lost in that game. Sadly, I don't think that will happen anytime or even in the future. I may just be wasting my time and money from my expectation that I can win it all back.
Slots have a losing streak that is sometimes unbelievable. For the 100 rounds, there won't be any wins or bonuses, there are times it could go further than that.
One of the good reasons why I stick with sports betting. I don't like long-losing streaks like that because I don't have deep pockets. My capital is just enough for playing original games and sports.
The minimum requirement in slots is just too high and buying premiums to increase the chance for bonuses, multipliers, and other features is not in my capacity.
I am not saying to stop, just make an amount where you would stop. Don't bet everything in one go.

I'm also a slots player, but I think you're missing the point of what @swogerino said. There is nothing wrong with the statement he made there, I don't know since when you actually played slots, but I'm sure that I have more experience than you. Be objective in assessing things, we have to be honest with what really happens in slot games, it's really just a game of luck. This is different from sports betting which requires effort, analysis or whatever to increase your chances of winning. Can you increase your chances of winning in slots? of course not, it's all luck and just waiting for your luck to come.

I am angry at myself not slots,being an idiot trying the luck there when a simple search and studying of events can bring you great results like that above,6 out of 8 multi tickets and I am in about 300.000 IDR or 20 dollars profit without getting angry at bearing the losing of slots.

I am happy that you can control emotions but I have come to a place where I don't like anymore that much to lose,I have been playing since 2007 slots so most likely I have had enough of them although I occasionally will continue to play a bit of slots.

I am a slot player, of course in our rounds we often lose, but it will pay off when you get free spins, I have been playing slots since 2022 and I still control my emotions playing, I don't lose too much in slot games, sometimes I pocket profit, why are you angry with slots?
it's just a game of luck and patience is really needed

I am starting with this title as today I made an experiment,I studied what bookies consider favorite in the games with low odds and I think I have achieved great results,won like 5 bets out of 8 multi tickets.I used to play slot machines and kept losing in the long run,and no matter that I started 2024 with an over x11000 win on January 3rd I have lost a whole lot more by continuing playing slot machines.In slot machines you don't control a deep shit and rely completely on luck which on the long run is totally against anyone of us,name me one person who have won more than lost over time,yeah no one,even those who won jackpots.
