Not all games require research, maybe only a few, like sportsbooks for example, whereas in slot-based games or others it's pure luck.
Oh yeah, I heard a lot about patterns when playing slots, and to be honest, I thought it was just nonsense that couldn't be proven in the slightest. I know that this comes back to the opinion of each of us, and it happened to my friend, who insisted that he would win the game, and what happened was that he still lost. Whereas I, who played without using any strategy, could be luckier than my friend.
I don't play slots because I believe that slot games only needs pure luck and little to no strategy. I'm not a really lucky person that's why I don't really play slot. I tried some strategy before that I watched on YouTube but end up losing, I'm not a profit greedy but it's just that the game is not really for me. I think that the only way you can win big on slots is hitting the jackpot because by just spinning the slots won't make you last long on my experience. Me just like your friend is confident by the strategy that we know and just like me lost on a slot game.
Not many realize this quickly, and they (my friends) still believe it to this day. If I see from what you said, it looks like you really can manage your finances, and you know what you have to do and what you can't do in gambling. I personally am a person who will do what I like, one of which is playing slots. However, I am well aware of the boundaries that I cannot cross, so that keeps me completely safe from problems, especially financial problems.
Oh yes, try playing, friend, who knows, now you are lucky to get the jackpot.
