do you lose on slots?

Back to the topic, by the way, slot games are really not doing well where only small wins can be obtained and the opportunity to get big wins more often doesn't appear.
To be honest, I'm starting to have thoughts that I should move on to other bets such as sports betting.

For example, every slot gambler wins his betting session with high win. that means, the casino will suffer unavoidable losses. As we all know, slot games tend to rely on luck rather than insight, skill, knowledge, and even analysis. therefore, every result cannot be estimated or predicted. many times, we only get small wins from game sessions. However, if luck is on your side, you can win many times the bet per spin. not infrequently, someone who is lucky can get free spins that are multiplied by 1000x. that is to say, hit the jackpot. to be honest, I've gotten it a few times, though not in big bets.

well, that seems like a good idea. you can try to bet on sports betting.

The difference between playing slots and sports betting is that with slots you never know what the next spin will bring you, while in sports betting you know exactly what to expect: you either lose your bet or you win a certain amount, and you know what amount beforehand, you know what to expect. This uncertainty is attractive to those people who choose slots over other games. You are right, big wins happen rarely on slots, but they do happen, and that's why slots are so popular.

Rigth, we agree. Overall I agree with what you said. In sports betting, we know exactly what to expect. that means, what we are betting on the results will already be known if we win it. well, this is the difference from slot games. as you said, in slot games we never know the next spin will give us free spins or profitable rewards. all of that, there is no certainty. but uniquely, this type of slot game offers fantastic rewards and even wins can be 10-50× from our initial capital.

If luck doesn't come, even if we increase the bet amount, it still won't help us to get a win, and instead, we will experience a big loss. We've had it before, but some people even keep doing it because they keep hoping that by doing it, their luck will come, which it doesn't.

And that's the point of limiting gambling so we know when it's time to stop and can secure the remaining balance. We can play gambling at other times and not spend the balance we have just for that day. And maybe we will be luckier next time so we can win some money.

Usually I also use this pattern in playing slots and most of it will stop when a few rounds don't get any results, from what I have observed the slot spin pattern is almost the same and there is almost no formula to outsmart it. So playing limits when you're unlucky is a way to avoid defeat by leaving and stopping playing, because in the end we will also experience defeat if we keep pushing it.

Slot games will usually give a quick win when you are in a lucky condition and as far as I have observed it never lasts long and it's best when you get a win and continue playing in the next round then stop to secure the win, I apply this pattern in slots though conditions of winning or losing.

interesting strategy
like having a set number of games where you'll play before sitting to play?
you say to yourself "I'll play 4 games today" and that's it
you leave after 4 no matter what the result is?

The fact is in slot machines what the next spin might bring is actually what makes it fun because you are always hopeful of getting something big out of it which might not happen very often but people tend to use slot machines more often than other gambling games and the reason as you said is obviously that it provides you with opportunities of winning big.

On the other hand, sports betting is something totally different, it is not only a game of luck just like slot machines where the outcome depends solely on one's luck while in sports betting, one will need skills and experience.

It is true is not easy but at the same time it has to be done, humans have to do all kind of things we do not like and yet we still do them, an example of this is exercise, I do not like exercising at all and I hate that feeling of fatigue I get after it, but I still do it because I know it is a good thing for my long term health, then if someone is experimenting some gambling issues, as hard as it could be to remain away from casinos they have to do it, as it is the best thing for them to do at that moment.

It is indeed the irony of life, when on the normal, people are supposed to find it easier to stay aways from gambling casinos, but still baffles me how addiction turns the table around, and make things that are easier to do much difficult, and then make things that are harder/difficult to do much more easier.

For me, it takes me much time to decide to gamble, even when I have the hunger for it, I still can only gamble on a day or week I have extra money possibly due to less expenses and all that..

And that example of exercising, that's so true, it pretty amuses me how we tend to find it easier to do things that are not important for our well being, compare to things are will keep us in good health mentally and physically.

This is why addictions are so dangerous as they invert the natural order, I like to gamble but just like you it is something I do occasionally, and if someone asked me I would have no problem staying out of it for as long as needed as I have a lot of other hobbies as well, but the addicted gambler is so immersed in the rabbit hole they cannot tell that what is happening is slowly destroying them and everyone around them, and by the time they realize this is the case it is too late to do anything about it.

A gambling addict who does not want to get rid of addiction immediately will definitely get worse and will lose all valuables and savings.
Especially slot games which are faster increasing gambling addicts as I saw in the city say that there are some young people who don't know about gambling but after seeing slot advertisements he wants to try and ends up addicted to selling various valuables and houses.

Yeah, that's the thing, a gambling addict can cause a lot of damage to his life financially in a single session.

Even an alcoholic usually requires some time to actually make some permanent damage, but with a casino you can lose all your life's savings in a single night.

It's really something extremely bad if not kept under control.

This happens because there is still a sense of curiosity that continues to poison his mind so that what is in his mind is only betting to win and win so that when they experience defeat they will do anything to be able to keep playing gambling they want to win.
It's no wonder that young people who play slots are willing to sell their valuables in order to be able to play slots because slots are games that spend money very quickly and can also quickly produce big wins, but you need to know that no matter how much you win, in slot games it is never worth what has been lost because of losing.
An incident like what you mentioned has also been experienced by several youths in the city I live in but they didn't sell their house and the worst part was they took out a loan to be able to play slots.

Ever notice this peculiar human attraction to thrill-chasing? We're like moths to a flame when it comes to risk, salivating over the illusion of 'effortless riches', and gambling is the light that keeps us coming back. But what's the damage, huh?

True that, slot machines can behave like a black hole, trapping people in a spin cycle of wins and losses, each defeat stirring up a hunger to recoup more. But wait, is it right to pin all the blame on the games? Don't we need a mirror to look into our own faces for accountability and restraint?

Perhaps we need to dig a little deeper to understand why people are dancing with addiction. Could this be the screaming manifestation of broader societal distresses like existential crises, financial woes, or struggles with mental health? It might be a hard pill to swallow, but maybe we need to face these monsters lurking in the shadows just as much as we deal with the addiction head-on.

That is the danger of gambling and alcohol addiction because they destroy our lives slowly but surely. And before we become addicted to gambling or alcohol, we better be aware of it and try to anticipate the urge to gamble by doing many things that will help us not to think about gambling. This is important to do by doing other things. Our focus will shift to that and try to get rid of thoughts about gambling. However, it is not easy to do and only people who strongly desire to heal themselves from their addiction or addiction symptoms can do it. At the same time, others will even play gambling more often than trying to stop their gambling activities temporarily.

It is unlikely it will ever happen, this will require for the experts on the human mind to accept there are systemic problems and to acknowledge that people are responsible for their actions, no matter how bizarre those actions could be, but in my experience they do the opposite, they are always trying to find fault on anything except the person which committed those acts, blaming the family, the environment or their education instead of simply accepting the simplest answer in front of them, which is that people should be held accountable for what they do and stop blaming others for their problems.

Yeah, that's the reality for pretty much any addiction out there, it can be anything, even food.

There is an increasing number of overweight and obese people in the world, particularly in the US, and that's because of the relationship people have with food, they are basically addicted to food.

Same with alcohol, gambling, or anything else. Addictions are very dangerous because they grow slowly over time and you don't realize it until it's too late. It's always good to have a constant check of how your life is moving and correct anything as early as possible.

yes, that's the point
there's no use for hundreds of right decisions if you risk it all in one bad decision

avoiding big losses is a principle that should be carved in everyone's souls and never broken

otherwise there'll be a lot of pain.

I agree with this. You'll never really know what will be the outcome if you will play slots. There is no way to find out except waiting for the actual result of the game and basing on the rtp of the casino you can only hope to win luck based games.

Just a little remark, it's not the casino, it's provider of a slot is the one who sets the RTP.

Unlike in sports betting, you can have higher chance of winning if you are knowledgeable and strategic in placing bets. If you know a lot of information about the team and its players, you'll likely win the bet basing on the patterns, history of the team players, and their records of winning, losing, as well as the whole performance in a game.

But despite having this cons in luck based games such as slots, there are still many people attracted in playing it. This is because it requires lesser effort to play since you don't have to be smart or skillful, but rather just be lucky enough to win. If a gambler don't want to play anything complex or anything that requires critical thinking, then slots is really a good option where you can also win and enjoy at the same time.

Exactly. People engaged in intellectual work don't want more of it during their spare time. They just want to be pushing the button and waiting for something unexpected to happen. Dice, for example, doesn't require any mental work too, and it's also good for relaxation, but there's no that uncertainty in dice, you always know what to expect: either you lose your bet or you win with a certain multiplier.

I had a very funny grandmum that loved to play slots. (She passed away 7 years ago). She was looking like Russian nannies walking around casino with tokens with her belly or hand. She literally loved slots. She was very lucky person, she could hit like 250-500 dollars profits anytime we visit casino. She always picked one slot and kept playing on it. I was actually thinking that casino may just be allowing her to win because she looked very interesting - but I am sure not. Why did I talk about this? I think slots are mainly about luck. 85 year old, traditional clothed grandma can beat you in slots with her luck.

Yeah, one time, and then they lose all that in the next hour.

The thing is that no one will end up winning against the casino.

85 year old Grandma knows where its at, experience beats enthusiasm.  Most people quit but clearly an 85 year old has the gravitas to know just how long it takes to win.   The slots have changed over the years some, its possible your grandma had benefited from seeing all the various aspects to the games.  The cycle theory to wins etc.   I've mentioned before one of the craftiest players I saw was a bar man who would hop on machines after people quit having put in alot of money but won little.  He no doubt considered it a job bonus, literally he is there for 12 hours a day and is forced to watch the full cycle of win/loss and I think this gives the perspective to win; my theory.

[TelolettOm]

do you lose on slots?

The answer is clear enough, everyone must ever get losses in slots. It relies on luck, the chance to win is very small.
The question should be "How many times do you lose in slots?"  

i play slots hoping to win 'big win' or 'jackpot' but many times it don't hits and my balance get drained after betting many times in one slot machine. i play more bets hoping it already took my so much balance it will definitely going to hit this times, but it never happens, and my balance becomes "0".

Everyone should expect to win 'jackpot', dude.  
Sure, if you chase the wins and you don't limit your funds, you will lose all of your funds. You must get a lesson from your experience, never try to chase wins, especially the big wins.

1. always set a budget for playing slots and stick to it. do not chase losses or try to win back what you have lost by playing more.

It is not only applied to playing slots. We must limit the money to play for any gambling games. If the money has reached the optimum amount for daily allocation, just stop it immediately without considering anything.

Its everything talks about acceptance because if you are already that prepared that you are bound to experience losses in the thing you've been dealing with then you wont really be making yourself that impulsive on the time that you would lose. When we do talk about gambling then of course it would really be accompanying that losses which is something normal. Dont put up into your mind that on the time that you do gamble
you would really be able to assure winning because that cant really be that possible. This is why you should really be having that realistic approach when it comes to gambling not only
limited to slots but also in other game types as well.

Losing is part of the game because it cant be called a game if you arent losing and it doesnt really impose such risks which we know that it is completely that opposite on what gambling really is.,

totally agree
like with juggling, losing is part of the way to learn and to "win"

dealing with impermanence and being able to deattach are pratices that buddhism teaches that can be quite good for everyday life nowadays...

This is probably something most people are not equipped to deal with, people for some reason always expect that things will go their way and that this will always be the case for as long as they want, and this is simply impossible, at some moment we need to accept the fact that we will have to face setbacks during our lives and that we need to be prepared to deal with them, unfortunately most people do not think like that and if a few setbacks happen one after the other then those are enough to throw their entire lives into chaos.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think something, and at the same time it is and can be interpreted as something quite wise, whoever says that they always win in slots is a vulgar lie, first to win in slots you need to have an impressive amount of money, and the people who Most of them do it because they bet a lot of money, a whale can be the example, but players who play little money it is difficult Because the tendency is to lose it, because a slot machine can be used to play in the long term and that otherwise good results.

There will be no belief if gamblers always win at slots and that is pure lying, in fact there is no difference if we look at the average winning percentage between whales and gamblers depositing the minimum funds, only if whales can play more slot bets but wise gamblers can stop after getting winning bets instead of lots of bets only dominant more loses.

It is that we always focus on that a person won in the slots, thanks to a particular effort, but this is only the tip of the iceberg, all the whales that have won these large amounts of money is because they have lost many times, and all these losses add up and make things go in another direction, so the record that these whales have can be Something impressive, and one day by luck or by daring to want to bet a lot things happened, then this It can be decisive and so much so that even a single win can solve your life and that of your Family, but they are people who have a lot of Money to spend.
