In the past week, I've been watching confessions and sad stories of slot players on YouTube. How did they lose everything, from a motorbike, house, cars, gold, and savings, just to play slots? As a player myself, I can't fathom how this game sucks away so much money and forces people to ruin their lives in a relatively short time. I remember one of the guys got wrecked in less than a week. I thought slots would only ruin someone's life if they were a regular customer and played every day without taking a piss or something.
As a fellow slot players, yeah, you will get REKT if you're not careful playing games as obviously, it's based on pure luck. I even know someone who is in the middle of doing renovations in his house,. But unfortunately, it was still not finished as he become so addicted to slot machines games that the money that he put aside into building his dream house are now in casinos as he lost everything.
The reasons may vary from person to person, such as chasing losses, greed, emotions, etc., but the next step they took is all the same, i.e., betting way more than usual. It all begins with the x100 - x1,000 minimum bet that they usually do. For example, I usually bet $0.1/spin, and then x100 - x1,000 means that I bet $10 - $100/spin. That's stupid! One guy took a loan with his house as collateral for $5,000 only to lose it in a few hours.
And as I have said before, gambling is based on emotions. Anything that will make you gambling it has something to do on what you feel inside so it's very hard to control it.
High rolling in slots is quite dumb in my opinion, since the probability of hitting the x100+ multiplier is too low. Thus, the most feasible strategy is to maximize your number of spins instead of going for YOLO. Thus, if you REALLY need to do martingale shit or progressive betting for whatever dumb reason, 5x from your usual bet is your maximum.
YOLO it is, this is also what I have learned from a experience gambler here, I wouldn't mention his name. But when I read his post he always talked about it. Just remember to control ourself as gambling is really base on luck and nothing else, even if you YOLO, chances are, you are going to lose more.
