Topic: Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time) (Read 1485 times)

It depends though, if the "clarity" comes right after they win, then maybe they will be able to keep all that money, and actually exchange it for real money instead of tokens.

That is the main thing in the casino, if you are able to separate your feelings with what you are doing, then you might win something.

But, you need to be able to walk away without betting again. Few do this.

It becomes very difficult to control yourself while gambling until you make a big loss. Because when someone wins at gambling, the desire to win more works in him and he continues to gamble for a longer period of time. Then it doesn't work in him that if he withdraws his winnings he can enjoy a lot of profit but if he loses playing again his original budget will be lost. He starts to regret when he loses the gamble and loses the original budget along with the profit. So of course only self-control can save a gambler from big losses

How many times do we hit the snooze button when our alarm rings first thing in the morning? Gambling can be cherished the same way we do to sleep. Gamblers who have lost control over the fun they get through gambling won't be able to obey the alarm when it rings, provided they still have some funds left on their card. I prefer telling compulsive gamblers to stay clear from their cards when gambling. Maybe keep it somewhere they won't bother about looking for the money. Or better still have a disciplined family member hold the card, and instruct them never to release it until when the card is needed for something else other than gambling. Left for the gambler, he won't stay without depositing more money to his gambling account. Most gamblers may be able to control their urge to chase losses, but the few minorities who can't have been loaded with more funds. Gambling can't be played without money.

And most people who stop to gamble, do so, for money reasons or purposes. Hence, they tend to stop, because their money has been exhausted, and they have nothing left even in the bank. So, when a low roller who has lost his money in gambling, and only depends on money to control his urge for gambling. That means he's lost control, but money helps him enforce the control, by dismissing him from gambling for the time being. If the player is faced with other financial responsibilities and needs to buy food or pay bills, he'd have a regret on why he spent all his money on gambling. But once he gets another money, he'd forget he's not solved some underlying pending problems and rush to gamble some more. With the belief that he'd get some jackpot to cover all his bills. Gamblers in this category are mainly slot players as they enjoy the fast return on slot games. The results are instant and they'll have to hope on their next spin, to be a breakthrough.

Many people, when they bet a little and see that they win a prize, mistakenly think that they are on a winning streak and continue betting, in the vast majority of cases, only to end up losing their winnings and more. The house edge makes long term loss inevitable.

Healthy gambling should be considered on an occasional basis, putting a limit on the amount of money and/or time spent betting, and if you win a big win after a while you'd better get out of there and enjoy the money. You have many more days to lose, so once you win don't screw it up by continuing to gamble.

All of us with lot of experience in gambling of course understand and really know how gambling games or casino games work, everything has programmed way of working and of course there are algorithms that gamblers cannot guess or solve.
This understanding can actually make us realize that it will be very dangerous if we play for too long using too much money because in the end we will always only lose.
Gambling games = luck, this is statement that is in accordance with reality and there is no gambling game that can be won without luck like slot games, except in games of skill perhaps luck is not that influential.
But here what we are discussing is slots and this is game that really only requires luck to win.

The only way to be able to play well is to be able to have time and financial limits when playing slot games and of course this is much better and can minimize the number of losses.

Well, you have to see that the things behind each game there are always stories, there is a lot to talk about and say, I don't deny that the slots are made so that you can win even more money , yes, but you have to give some things that I attract them to the person , because with a minimum bet you can win a lot and Spend a lot too , but it may be that there is a lucky chance and you really walk away with a good amount and it multiplies, that is something that will Always be possible and can be have as a basis for anything, now, if we can think for a moment , we have seen everything in the stake.com thread ann that players will always manifest themselves with their players who become very millionaires, and those millionaires how much will there be? period? because they also lose a lot, that's what we don't know and they are things that we must at least imagine, because that's what this is about, having full knowledge about a game as Popular today as Slots.

I don't get Complicated with Slots , I Know that to win is Difficult, it's complicated and that you have to do things to be able to generate a Better Guarantee of things and that can be the determining factor of many things, because when I play slots I use them for the Purpose of de-stressing and maybe getting rid of a bad day or something, where I'm not looking for money, but for entertainment, I like the system, I like their music , I like the way the slot is , but Above all the most important thing for me I easily control it because I Always have very Little money to spare , and I don't run out of it , because I accept my loss and now , I come back another day or with other Attempts, all of that is what I basically do , but there are times when you Win and It's something Great , Because when you have a nice motorcycle, even with very little Money , then that kind of luck is why we should take advantage and get it , because it's the smartest Way to have and feel the money you've Earned.

Gamble only on the funds on which you can afford to lose then you wont really be having any problem at all. Usually people would really be ending up on a disaster if they do really just that let themselves really that forget on what are those earlier rules and conditions that they had set into themselves. Its true that you can really be able to make out those kind of rules but just like on what you had said, the longer the duration or engagement you are doing with gambling then you are really that highly chance or would really be likely on forgetting into those rules that we had set. This is why it doesnt matter on what games or betting you are dealing with because when it comes to self control then it would really be just the same whether you would really be doing things in moderation or would really be just simply be fucked up in the end of line.

Slot games are undeniably entertaining and something really that interesting but on the time that you would really be that making some few rolls then i do really get that easily get bored but im much aware about into those house edge and everything about it. It is really just that on the time that i cant really be able to hit up some good reels then i do imply skip out and would really be finding myself on playing other games like dice or even on sports betting.

We always talk about control ourselves but when we are playing do we really follow what we supposed to do? Sometimes we are been eat up by climax given gambling and we might forget about what we have just said earlier about controlling our self to gamble more.

I bet we can see a lot of gamblers actually experience this since sometimes they rise with the flow especially if they have something to chase especially if there's current promotion running in a casino.

We will really end up losing with that but what's more important there is we know how to used our personal funds since if we just separate the funds intended for basic need and for spending on leisure or other more for sure we will not get hurt if we lose.

Yeah, you're spot on.

At the end of the day most people will end up losing in gambling games, so it's really self control the only thing between them and bankruptcy.

If they keep playing, they will end up with no money at all...

It is best for those who have experienced losses from gambling to think about whether they have gambled excessively and should try to reduce the amount of their losses. If they can reduce the number of losses, it is lucky for them to use a small part of their money to play slots so that they don't feel that playing slots wastes their time and money.

What is important in playing slots is how we can control ourselves well. We can easily lose self-control when playing slots because we experience consecutive losses. It can make us want to continue playing slots to recover the money lost in slot games and there are even some gamblers who choose to deposit their money again to recover their losses. They may also need to set an alarm as a marker and reminder that their time has run out playing slots so they have to stop playing slots immediately. Otherwise, they will only experience more defeats.

These machines are adult arcades where the joy is in the action, not the payment. They're a money suck, but that's gambling 101, right? Slots usually favor the house. However, I deviate from your path: It goes beyond avoiding the revenge gamble. Recognition of the beast as a profit-driven machine, not philanthropy. This godlike gamer with amazing luck strats is incorrect. Even the best players are subject to RNGs. No one beats the system - only plays the game.

Gamble for fun, not profit. You're right, but losing gracefully isn't enough - you must play smart. Slots are actual and metaphorical gambles. You must be willing to risk your money in this arena. Even with the odds against us, we play to win. Knowing when to leave is crucial. When you chase losses and dream of turning $16 into $750, you're playing their game. Gambling should be fun, not addictive. Enjoy the journey, but don't think the slot machine owes you anything. It doesn't. It never did.

Just as chasing our loses is a bad idea, chasing out wins is a bad idea too, and the reason behind this is that the end results are very similar, so even if you begin to chase the big jackpot prize you could get with slots, there are many other people doing the same all over the world and there can only be one winner, so in the process of trying to get that win the losses which can be accumulated are too big, and in many cases those that are chasing those wins will not even obtain any entertainment out of it, since they are not really gambling for the fun of it and instead they just care about the profits they may get.

I mean, slot games from the get-go are made to take money off of your hands without you knowing. Plus unless you're a godlike player with insane luck strats that you can even beat the rigged system operating inside the slot machine, you're never going to achieve that 750 bucks wager requirement with a measly 16 dollars. You're always meant to deposit money and then lose it all, hence why they gave out this promotion anyway. Only problem I have with what you're talking about is that you're speaking from a place of looking at gambling as a way to turn a profit. Which is fine I guess to some degree but you gotta know at some point that it was the case in the past and it will always be the case for any type of game, be it slot or cards. If you're not finding any luck in slots and it's starting to wear out your patience, might as well look for other ways you can gamble, that way you're not forced to revenge gamble and then eventually lose your initial wager along with everything you own in the process as you slowly spiral down into gambling addiction. Which I must say isn't the best thing out there my friend. Try to gamble with the idea that you're going to lose this money anyway, might as well enjoy every single moment of it and not focus on actually earning since that's what causes you to think as if the slot machine owes you shit.

Next time, don't expect something given for free. It's associated with a wagered requirement and most of the time, the requirements are really crazy that the chance to hit those is slim and low chances. It's better to play slots with direct money deposits and chase those free spins in-game instead. No need for a wager requirement or anything else.

OP generalized right away that slot games are a waste of time because of his experience which I can't be called not a good reason.

But good for you that you treat that as a waste of time and money as you will now avoid gambling on that.

Yeah, there are clearly some casinos that are trying to get the maximum from their gamblers.

One thing that I think is too much is to add some hoops for you to get your own money. That's an extra hurdle than doesn't seem too fair.

There's already a lot of money to be made from casinos, so adding more problems to the gambler seems unnecessary to me.

That is very correct. People who are addicted to gambling and become wild they no longer find pleasure there. What they think about is about making as much money as possible. This is wrong thinking. You are right that there is a difference between people who enjoy it and people who are addicted to it. But if as OP said that people have to deposit that much to make a withdrawal then I can say it is cheating. Some sites that I know, such as Rollbit or Duelbits, never require you to make a deposit of a few dollars to make a withdrawal.

That's right, because they only see the jackpot prize which is likely to be quite large if they get it, they will try to get it even if in the wrong or excessive way. Indeed, everyone has their own views on the gambling they will play, and has their own reasons for determining what gambling is appropriate for them to do, for example, you who prefer sports betting over other gambling. Because the reason is that you place a bet on your own favorite club which you think is the best club and you will definitely support it even though the result is not necessarily a win, right? Yes, that is normal in sports betting. And besides that, you will get the pleasure of being able to take part in supporting your favorite favorite team.

The chase of winning is really on the minds of most gamblers without thinking that gambling could harm them if they keep doing that. Slots and any pure luck base games are hard to win but what drives some gamblers from doing this is because of the jackpot prize. That is why I prefer sports betting where I can get a bigger chance especially if we are a fan of this. I don't after the prize to win but having a good time betting on my favorite team/players is even better and rewarded. As a gambler, we don't just look for the prize but rather choose where we think we have a chance.

When someone has too much hope in gambling then they will be disappointed, maybe if the words "don't give up" are directed at people who run a business and their business fails or when they have problems this is a good solution but if "don't give up" it concerns gambling will be a disaster because if you don't give up and continue to chase defeat or chase victory we won't know when it will be successful and most people who experience this are increasingly losing direction and goals and increasingly experiencing unstoppable losses, gambling is a game that will slowly it will kill you if you are too ambitious to get a big win.

That why we have to be able to control ourselves so that we don't do things that are beyond our abilities. Use gambling for entertainment purposes so that when you winning or lose, you can accept it without having to chase losses or get more wins.

Because gamblers from the start only think about how to get a lot of money by trying to win, even though they already know there will definitely be obstacles there, but for people who are addicted to gambling they can't use their common sense well when playing, maybe what they think about is winning and winning. However, experienced gamblers try to maintain good control so that bad events in the past do not happen again.

From this we can conclude that awareness as well as thoughts and instincts from the heart also have an influence when we gamble, because these things are related to each other.
