        -  Those patterns are also useless, it still appears in the end that our winnings are still based on luck when we play gambling. So the auto bet is just a big joke.

So what others have said is still correct that it's better to just enjoy gambling at the casino here with the crypto gambling bonus only if you win suddenly in the games that the gambling platform has.

For spins that seem hard to spin, wagering conditions apply to winnings from free spins. Once the free spins are used, the winnings are transferred to the bonus account. This money can be used to play various casino games but players have to bet a certain amount before they can cash it out. This is why casino spin bonuses have wagering conditions and cashout restrictions. That's why it's easy to do manually. Before starting the game with spins, they must be analyzed carefully.

As humans, we are conditioned to look for patterns in life and we gamblers try to make predictions based on what we see, while we are gambling. The reality is that these patterns does not exist, but we like to pretend that they do because it helps us to bring order to the chaos that are gambling.  Roll Eyes

I don't believe they don't exist, there's lots of spiritual energy in the world and they all have their role to play. Just like we had lucky socks when we were younger and it gave us confidence when we were about carrying out an activity like sport.

That's the same way this beliefs help us in life, even though they're not true as you said but they give us hope and with hope you can achieve many things in life. For example when playing the slots game, I go with manual spin and it works for me.

If I try spinning on automatic mode, I won't win any of the spin and would just have wasted all my money or in a situation when I win, the payout will be small when compared to when I spin manually and that's how I play when I want to win.

I only have betting strategies and using martingale strategy at times after I knew it is very risky.

Most of my strategies is about how to risk little and lose little or to gain little, not even martingale that can go wrong at times and lead to big loss.

Betting should be fun, when using just little amount of money, not going beyond the budget set for it and if I noticed that I am winning as I am gambling, not that I am losing all the time which can make me suspect something wrong going on. I do not think there are superstitious ways to win casino games.
For me personally I don't prefer Martingale strategy at all because you are at risk of losing more with it but don't know how some players find it good because they want to win no matter how much they wager.I am also of the opinion that you place small bets and even if you have decent win not too big that's really good for you giving you joy instead of losing more in high hopes.
We all know that there is no guaranteed win in gambling, any strategy applied to get a guaranteed win can also lead to losses. Though we are often encouraged to use the martingale method. But here a gambler must keep a special concern on his money. Using the martingale method, if someone lose once, have to bet higher than previous bet money and if consecutive lose there, someone have to bet more, which is very difficult for most gamblers.
Neither strategy nor prediction maker can ever guarantee victory in gambling because it's all just a way to be able to gamble well and in fact what can bring victory is only luck.
No matter how good a gambler is and how accurate the strategy is, if luck is not on your side, you will definitely get defeat.
Several defeats in gambling can affect the mentality and psyche of a gambler which will raise a high curiosity that makes them try hard to win.
Even though the martingale is a pretty good playing strategy, in this strategy gamblers have to prepare an unlimited amount of money in order to survive with the aim of winning games at high bets, it's just that some gamblers don't realize that by using the martingale strategy they can spend money very large amount.

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

In a luck-based game patterns never exist, what's good for you today, maybe not good for you tomorrow or in the coming days, one example is the use of martingale this is the pattern or method commonly used by newbies because there is a logic behind it but logic do not apply in gambling when it comes to luck based game, unexpected things happen, this what makes gambling very exciting because you never know when you are going to hit the jackpot.
Martingale is not a good strategy if your purpose is to recover your previous losses, instead it can only drain your funds fast especially if you have a limited bankroll.

I'm a Baccarat live game regular player and though we believe that these patterns are just in mind of a gambler as working, my strategy when playing is, i'm following these patterns because of the thought that it can actually work. For example, if the winning bets are on side of banker for 3 consecutively, then followed by 1 on side of player, I tend to follow it and see if the next winning bets would be the same. Sometimes it's working but often not, though it's not accurate, somehow it can help you to choose what bets are likely to win.

I belong to a highly superstitious culture where gambling is also prevalent. Superstition and gambling shouldn't go together, but they seem to be deeply intertwined in my culture that things are getting both funny and unreasonable.

Patterns form part of this superstition. I sometimes bet on cockfighting. This brutal form of gambling is also deeply cultural. And this is also where bettors look for patterns everywhere including the color of the fighting cocks' feathers, the color of their legs, the phase of the moon, and so on.

At the end of the day, many go home bringing nothing. LOL!
Are you serious? Do people bet on cocks based on the colors of their feet and feathers instead of their fighting abilities?  Grin That's hilarious, no wonder why they go home with nothing at the end of the day. Superstition should never be taken seriously when it comes to gambling because it's purely a game of luck and none of these things have anything to do with winning or losing.

People who look at patterns and believe they might have an influence on their games and luck are basically living in a world full of dreams and are not able to see things practically. Nothing other than luck can make you win in gambling unless the game is skill-based.
I have only seen one time cock fighting because it's forbidden in my country except in few overseas areas but I don't think it's stupid to care about the color of their feathers or the color of their legs because there could be a correlation with their ability to win fights. Statistics must be monitored before claiming it's right or wrong IMO. I agree with you about the phase of the moon, because the moon is the same for all cocks, but any individual characteristics have to be taken into account, and can lead to a better Profit and Loss. I guess performance-enhancing/doping drugs are given by some owners and it's an important thing to know though.

Everything is about patterns. Avid cockfighting bettors are very observant. They will see patterns in everything. If previous fights saw white-legged cocks winning over yellow-legged ones, they will take note of it. But that's not the only factor. For example, white-legged ones are winning over yellow-legged ones but only if the former are the favorites, or if the latter are red-feathered. It's more complicated than it seems.

As to the phase of the moon, they also have patterns like it's a full moon today, bulik roosters are expected to win over white roosters.

In cockfighting, you can't bet based on performance. You will bet beforehand; you don't know how they will fight.

It's funny how gambling has significant effects on gamblers' psychology that they tend to be keen and creative in their imaginations.

If they think it's BS they will never use or believe on it. Not all patterns are found randomly but a gambler can record his gambling activity to have an accurate pattern. They will then use it and expect the same outcome will come out as the past. There are times that they will win again but it does not mean their patterns are working fine. They win because they only got lucky.

To have a confidence in gambling is important because you know what actions you will be doing and you will never regret and say that you should choose the other one that's on your mind earlier but confidence can come in within our own self. No need to fake it by using patterns.
And that's why I say "deep down", cause people will never admit to the patterns or "strategies" they follow as something useless. Even patterns that are based on past games are just bs, if it actually worked then a lot of people would be swimming in cash right now. As you said, they win only because they were lucky, and that's all you need to take into account when talking about gambling.

I don't blame people for using (or pretending) to use it to boost their confidence, it isn't wrong anyway and I myself use it at times. It's part of the fun sometimes anyway, looking for dumb patterns that may (or may not) exist and then suddenly going "hey, that might actually work" only to sink the rest of your balance down the drain.

Auto bet is ok but I still wouldnt leave it running for an extended period only as a way to place many small bets while you do something else briefly, it can be useful and the results are the same as spinning manually I think is fair to say.  I've never noticed a difference but there is also the valid argument if you really arent paying attention maybe its best to stop, as I said I only use it will small amounts to bet multiple times and advance the game hopefully.

Gambling? It's like a tremendous, mysterious chocolate box, folks. You never know, but with strategy, you can boost your chances of sweet victory, or a winning streak, bigly. Think of it as chess, predicting opponents' moves. But there's a twist, a blend of luck and tactics. Imagine Mario Kart and Scrabble had an incredible, unpredictable offspring! Feeling lucky? Go ahead, toss those dice, whirl the wheel, or unveil the card. Who knows? You might strike gold, and etch your name in gambling history. Believe me!
like looking for a golden needle in a huge haystack. as long as we continue to search carefully and thoroughly like gambling, we will definitely find that luck.
but here the problem is that sometimes every gambler has a slightly strange psychological habit in every bet they make, such as using patterns in slot games and pressing the bet button before the reels stop. this is a psychological habit that gamblers may become addicted to because this habit seems like something comfortable to do.
Superstition shouldn't be brought into gambling in my opinion as that probably makes someone lose even more. Luck doesn't go a particular way that a person might think or believe in but it just happens when it has to, so having this kind of mindset where one thinks they might get a big win if they stop the machine before its usual time, etc. will not do any good at all.

One should think realistically and behave that way too in gambling or even anything in life so that one can easily accept and digest whatever happens. It becomes more difficult to accept losses for people who are superstitious.
If you are that someone who does have that kind of thinking on which you are really that trying to pursue on making things to work.We know that luck isnt something that we could really be able to influence nor
able to control and since we are doing or engaging with gambling then we know that it is really that a huge factor for us to win. There's no such thing about superstitious beliefs or behavior or whatever things that you would
do for you to make yourself having that advantage or making yourself to have that winning phase or condition. Just go with the real essence of gambling which is for entertainment and never expect or anticipate
about having that sure win because this would really be just creating that kind of desperation which is something that we should really need to avoid.

Play according into your leisure needs and play according to entertainment. Gambling wasnt build for making people do make rich but rather it would really be just good for some past time.
Winning some money is really just that a bonus in overall and with this kind of mindset then you wont really be making yourself that addicted to it.

Have you pressed the "bet" button, before the reels have stopped.. thinking that it will give you a favorable outcome on your bet? Well, I have news for you... the outcome has been decided in milliseconds after you pressed the button for the bet, the GUI interface happens long after that to display the outcome of the bet to you.  Grin (Go into the developer mode of your browser to see this)

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

I strongly believe that these so-called patterns are made by the gamblers themselves in order to pacify the situation that they are facing. They are looking for ways to at least mitigate the damage as they are bargaining against themselves about it. When they see at least a glimmer of hope, they attempt to view it as a "pattern" and convince themselves that everything would be alright in the end.

Though this may be the case, I definitely agree with you that the outcome has already been pre-determined by the casino. Due to the presence of house edges, this gives the casino at least a tiny bit of advantage whenever you try to gamble on their respective platforms.

Back when I used to gamble, I used to believe that my every 3rd bet would win. So made bets that were divisible by the number of 3 and continued it. It at least gave me comfort but at the end I incurred significant losses.

I also know a lot of people who think that the auto spin thing is real and they can actually get better results if they spin it manually instead of putting it on auto mode which is obviously a myth but people won't believe it.
It's totally a myth.

I second this stance.  I have been playing in a gambling casino for years now and no matter what approach I do, it don't change the result of a game of chance gambling game.  All the result is random according to the script that is present in the system.  I tried slow spin, auto spin, fast spin and even the fast-forward spin by pressing the spacebar.  The result is still random.  Sometimes I get into the bonus round through auto spin sometimes on manual spins and so on.  What constant in my observation is the longer we stay in the same game, the longer the losing streak we experience.


Quote
We're just having that feeling that we thought that something is wrong because we have put it on auto and what an another coincidence if we did it manually and the results are perfect and good for us.

Out mind is just looking for a possible instant where we can have an advantage so when it is delivered on some pattern, we thought that we find the secret pattert to succes but eventually, our bankroll will get depleted using that key to success thing.

No concrete logic on the slots, it is matter of luck to hit big multipliers. Sometimes it takes over 1000 spins to hit bonus feature but it doesn't pay even 10% of losses back, unfortunately. Maybe your friend had bad luck with auto spins so it makes sense why he hates auto spin and prefer to spin slots manually. I don't believe in patterns in gambling, it can be good idea in crypto market but not on gambling.

we should always remember that this is luck-based game, so yeah, auto spin or manual spin, it doesn't matter. you are just psychologically setting-up your minds when you do the manual spin. or better yet, you have the chance to skip some rolls and go to another one just like in any other game of chance.
if all the known strategies like martingale or d'alembert or any other strategy really works in long-term, i bet, a lot of players are already rich from these known strategies. and yet, no matter how they use it, they are still on the losing side if they don't stop playing. that means, the strategy may work for quite some time but the magic disappears in the longer run.

I don't see a pattern in playing gambling and just press the "bet" or "Spin" button and then submit to the results that will come out.
If I just pay attention or make a pattern, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy gambling itself and will only waste my time gambling.
But I guess some gamblers do it because they have their own reasons and we can't blame them because it's their choice.
I also often hit the "Auto 50x, 100x, or other" button and just sit back, enjoy my coffee, and watch the results.
Whether the pattern exists or is just our imagination, our job is only to enjoy gambling as a temporary pleasure and when it's all over, we have to stop.
If you notice that you have a pattern that you get personally it is more fun in gambling, everything is systematic and has the assumption that success is greater even though it is not certain, but if what we do is considered a pattern in gambling and we do it and have luck when using it makes us feel more comfortable and happier, i am long enough in gambling i understand that pattern is bullshit but it gives better psychology in the gambling we do.

If it were me, do like what you do it, this feels dry gaming experience and uninteresting, just watching the rounds go by without having anything to rely on in gambling to make it more fun.

Well, you have a point. It's much better to play without worrying about anything because if you are thinking so much, you'll lose the fun. Overthinking can cause anxiety and some people don't really have the mental headspace to even deal with such. Hence, there are people existing like you who don't give a damn about strategies or techniques because you're just after the entertainment, not profit.

Personally, I think it's much better to have a strategy in playing to somehow increase the probability of winning. I'm the type of person that when I gamble, which I rarely do, I'm after the combination of fun and profit. I can spare some change and not expect anything in return, but I can't risk so much without assurance I will take and make some because after all, earning money is a challenge nowadays. But it's good for people like you that you have nothing to ponder on because all you want is to have a good time and it's just a bonus if you will win. Just still be reminded that do everything in moderation.

There is no cure for Superstitions. People believe in something which makes no logical sense but still, they will feel comfortable betting based on their Superstitions beliefs. Sometimes they will win the bets and this will make their Superstition belief more strong.
Such people will never listen to you if you say that they are emotional and these Superstitions do not make any difference in the result of the game. I would suggest leaving those people to their beliefs as they are happy with what they are doing, meaning not make fun of them or spend time proving them wrong.
