do you lose on slots?

[len01]

Even the best of gamblers will tell you of their serial losses before they decided to adopt a strategy that has helped them to keep their winning streak constant.

Everyone should accept losses as a part of the encounters everyone must go through

Its rare for professional gamblers to talk about their losses, even ordinary gamblers will only talk about their wins, they will cover up their losses from the public. Its just that those who are experienced can give advice to those closest to them not to continue gambling because gambling is always closer to losing than luck.

slots are a game that is truly based on luck without needing to ask that the chances of losing are greater, but those who are experienced already understand how slot games work, they can control themselves so they dont lose too big.

We gamblers, do we not? We always show off off our victories, but we ignore our losses. We seem to be protagonists in our own tragedies, like lucky and fortunate stories. Don't you find it funny how a gambler's journey is shaped by their losses? They are the unread passages, the unsaid teachings in the gambling book.

Now, those flashy, beeping devices called slots are pure of chance and luck. Experienced players of slots understand it. They seem to possess a sixth sense; they are able to judge when to press the button and when to back off. Although they can't control the game, they still have power over how they play. It's similar to dancing with the uncertainty that the music might end at any moment. Experience has taught us to know the game and play it intelligently, not hard. It's not just about pushing buttons; the actual trick, my buddy, is in controlling risks!

I didn't know real casinos give you free food and beverages if you're playing there
but makes sense, specially for alcohol which will make your impulse control a bit worse and probably will make you prone to bet more and be a bit more careless.

Me too, I do not know if real casinos give such free meal for gamblers but if it is true, I believe there is at least a requirement to get the free meals.
Maybe it can be something like entry fee, or minimum top-up balance because it will be not profitable if the free meals is given without any requirement.
@nullama, have you experienced it yourself of getting the free meal/drink in land based casino?
If you have experienced it, could you confirm that those free meal/drink is completely free without any requirement? and maybe mention the name of the casino where gamblers get such benefit?
Back to topic, online slot casinos give more benefits for me especially because I do not need to move from one machine to other machine as what people should do in offline slot casino.
Other benefit and can be the biggest benefit is privacy, which is worth much than just free meal/drink.

There's also a point, I think they will get free food and drinks with certain conditions. because also they must make it an advantage over people who gamble in land-based casinos.
An interesting question, is it true that he ever got all that for free? And if so, it means he has been to a land-based casino.

a question for you,  do you prefer online slot gambling to offline slots?
Because as you said online slot gambling is more profitable in terms of games that do not need to move machines.

~snip~

I do think that real life casinos and slots have actually an extra positive side compared to online ones.

You can get free drinks and food from those places as long as you are playing. So, if you don't bet too much, you might end up with a free meal, as long as you don't gamble more than the cost of said meal.

But even if you just break even, you still have a small chance to win something, so it is an interesting proposition.

Whereas online, you don't get any freebies like drinks or food. Or things like toilet access, music, electricity, wifi, etc. It could be sometimes a good spot if you need to wait for a bit.

     -    What country's casino gives that free food and wine? What I also know is that everything inside the casino is paid when you are in a land-based casino. There is nothing free about those because they are really simple businesses, to be honest.

Well anyway, if that is true, then the luck of the players who are there in the casino like that, then now because in the online casinos I rarely win the slot games every time I play, even if the purpose is just for fun. I.

are you sure about that? have you ever been to a land-based casino? and can you be sure that it's all paid for? not like what @nullama said, because he said there will be free food and drinks at land-based casinos.

I also think like this anyway, there is no way they give free food and drinks just like that, even if it is true there will definitely be requirements to get free food and drinks, because it is likely that they will also make this as more profit from people who come to land-based casinos.

One of the reasons why the negatives far outweigh the positives is because bookmakers create casinos not to feed gamblers for free but their goal is to profit from gamblers who like to go overboard in acting out of control by providing a temptation through the opportunities provided which is basically nothing more than a trap for gamblers to come back soon. As evidence, we can see that many are now suffering from large losses and that means we can conclude that they are trapped by something that has been designed by the casino.

The events that they experience, especially those experienced by addicts, can actually be used as examples and lessons so that we do not overdo it, and as you said it is better to gamble normally, meaning by putting small money that you can afford to lose, because usually disappointment from results that do not match the wishes that can make you act out of control, so it will be very useful for a preventive measure.

For standard free food and drinks it might be possible, but for alcohol it's unlikely. I don't think they'll get it for free with alcohol. Besides, alcohol can make us unconscious or a little chaotic with our thinking. So it's best not to gamble while drinking alcohol anyway, because the possibility of our performance will be impaired from the effects of alcohol itself.

oh, yes, I totally understand it's better not to gamble if you're under the effect of alcohol
that's why I though it'd be something the casinos would be doing, it's on their business model to make you spend
but you're right, maybe they're not as evil as I though hahaha

The effect of alcohol can be very big on consciousness and emotions because alcohol itself has the function of eliminating consciousness and also making the heart pump faster, which can make person do many things without realizing it just to get what they want.
Moreover, gambling while under the influence of alcohol is just like someone who is willing to lose money because they are careless in their actions, are not aware of using excess money, and are not aware that they are too brave to take risks.
This allows gamblers who are under the influence of alcohol to experience condition where their performance in activities is only controlled by sudden increase in emotions.

However, casinos provide alcoholic drinks, both for free and branded alcoholic drinks, which are sold at high prices because from these sales can also get number of additional profits.
But talking about gambler who is affected by alcohol reminds me of the case of young man who was addicted to online gambling and sold his car directly just to be able to get money and be able to make deposit to gamble.
He gambled while having an alcoholic party with his friends.

I've been in a few casinos around the world in which they absolutely give you free snacks and drinks.

Of course it is not a buffet, but if you stay there playing for some time, you will be able to get some free food and drinks.

Again, it's a courtesy, so it's just a bit, not something that you could simply go and grab anything you want.

The people at the casino basically have to see that you have been playing and then they offer you something.

Everybody lose on slots unfortunately no matter who they are,the slots are so addictive that rarely the slot lovers can quit them and as soon as you can't quit them you will lose money in the short and long term.Even if you hit that max win you will spend it in a such a fast way that you will keep losing no matter what you are able to do with your money.

That is why it is recommended that people stop playing slots otherwise they will lose money in the longer term and there is no coming back from playing slots,do not be deceived by those guys showing you the streams where they win as they are playing with sponsored money so quit as long as you are able to as once you jump in the wagon of slot addiction there is no turning back.

There is a small, tiny fraction of people who actually get the big win from time to time.

That's what makes it attractive to many people, the chance, the hope of winning it.

Yeah, you nailed the idea. It's similar with lottery. You often hear the lottery winners, because they are a story, special enough to be told. Everyone wants hope and as everyone has same opportunity, it feels possible and fair to win jackpot, even if it's unlikely. But in comparison, if you put a story of every single player that lost in lottery in a story. That story wouldn't be possible to read by anyone as it would be so long.

I wouldn't however tell anyone to stop playing just because winning is rare. That's why the jackpots are big in the first place. If winning would be easy, casinos would not have any money to give.

eh but maybe casino companies can also do that, because the goal is to drain the finances of the gamblers they have, and maybe by them drinking alcohol makes them gamble with no limits so maybe they will spend all their money because they are under the influence of alcohol, maybe if there are casinos that provide free alcohol the goal is that, but I don't know  hahaha

only people who have been to a casino know about it, because I myself don't know how clear a physical casino is, because I have never set foot in a physical casino, I only do online gambling. even if I have a lot of money I won't go to a physical casino, because I prefer online gambling which can be done anywhere. and also in a place that I think is comfortable for myself. because gambling should be enjoyed as best as possible, also not necessarily I can be comfortable in physical casino gambling.

that's right, alcohol has an effect that can remove consciousness, and not with alcohol, people who gamble without alcohol alone can lose their good mindset, especially if they gamble while drinking alcohol of course this will make them lose their consciousness and good mindset even faster. and the possibility that if they drink more than their fair share of alcohol they will be under the influence of alcohol which is not good for them. even though the casino provides alcohol in its premises, it is only to get additional profits like you said because it is impossible for the casino company to force the gamblers who come to buy what is already provided. so they only sell it there is no element of coercion.

The incident that your friend experienced must have been a defeat, because victory is difficult to obtain, also added to the alcoholic allows them to continue gambling without thinking about other things because of the alcohol they drink. and even if they get a win they will not care too much because they are under the influence of alcohol.
So in my opinion, if you are gambling, don't invite things that will cause more problems. don't cross the line.

Well, it's likely that because we've played, they give free food and drinks, and I think that's a requirement.
I've never been to a physical casino at all which is where I prefer online gambling at the moment which is crowded everywhere, because by gambling in land-based casinos also does not guarantee I will get a sure win. therefore I prefer online gambling which can be done where I want to do it.

I've read yesterday in which tread, someone said "physical casino gambling is easier to get victory". and I don't know if it's true or not, as far as I know all gambling cannot be separated from luck so online gambling or physical casino gambling in my opinion is the same, the victory is under the control of luck.

It's a personal preference.

In the end different people prefer different things. If you only look at it as a rational choice where only money matters, then it's not a good idea to gamble, because the expected return of any bet is negative. That is, you're expected to lose money over time by gambling.

However, there are other factors, such as entertainment, hope, etc. Those are hard to value, and change from person to person. Even from time to time for each person.

so they use this rare wins as a way to give people hope so they keep betting

It all depends on each person's perspective on using gambling, and that means if someone can use gambling as intended, they will not lose too much money. They can even enjoy gambling as entertainment and will not try to chase wins like other gamblers. They know that they only enjoy gambling as entertainment, and if they want to make money, they can look elsewhere because gambling is not a place to make money.

But if people use gambling as a place to make money, they will be disappointed and regretful because they can't make any money at all. Instead of getting money, they actually lose money, and the amount of money lost in gambling can increase if they lose control of themselves and only follow their emotions.

Marketers or some people who can be called special agents or casino partners know about something whether it's a way or anything as a leak from the casino that most gamblers don't have. No more some big wins that they get and show just to attract more audience to get involved in the casino they are promoting. I often see that promotion is done by some people who have good prestige or are quite famous in their world which of course has quite a lot of followers who will indirectly become their target market.

The big wins seem endless when they do it, logically it is very impossible for someone to get such a good win or luck, you have to really suspect before finally putting interest in trying it. It's like a brainwashing event and scenario through several rounds that look very tempting, and obviously the sensation that is shown can really change the mindset and beliefs of someone who sees it, they want to have the same fate, without realizing that there are third parties who arrange everything behind the scenes, the house always has the upper hand, that's clear.

I almost always lose if I play slots, I'm more interested in sports betting because it's difficult to manipulate even though it can still be manipulated by bribing players who compete but it's still difficult to do.

[Dickiy]

I almost always lose if I play slots, I'm more interested in sports betting because it's difficult to manipulate even though it can still be manipulated by bribing players who compete but it's still difficult to do.

It seems that we are the same, the algorithms in games like slots are very difficult to solve, out of 10x attempts I can only get 1x or 2x wins and not even get a win at all, that's very often. I honestly don't know why this type of gambling is really difficult to conquer, but it certainly seems that I am very far from luck.

For the past two months I have tried to always limit my activities on slot gambling, because I really feel that there are a lot of problems that occur with my finances, so limiting the budget and time to gamble that I prefer for the past two months as a precaution so that my losses are not too big. Honestly often hear people who choose to switch to sports betting like you said, it's quite interesting but I don't have such good skills in sports and that's the reason why I don't choose this type of betting. If you feel that you are far from lucky in slot gambling and have skills in sports then obviously there is nothing wrong with you trying, with good skills that you have then at least you will not lose too much like playing on slots, but you have to remember something that whatever the type of gambling luck is still a very important factor for a determination.

[goxcraft]

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.

This is the most important piece of advice one can give. To set your limits and to not to chase looses. I would only bet the amount I can effort to lose not what I might win. In addition to that, limiting my budget helped me a lot. Because if you were careless enough, you won't realize when you lost everything you had. Lastly chasseing loses can be the most stupid move. I remember one time I was trying to win a bet. So I bet multiple times but still lost. In the end my balance was almost close to zero. As for myself I never liked slot, that's why I try do avoid them as much as I can. Slots is not my thing.

I strongly agree with that point however in order to maximize it use a currency like IDR to play more than normally as 1 USD over 15.000 IDR and also find a slot where it keeps you in the loop,it keeps you playing and give the bonus round often.Personally lately I have found the perfect game to be Big Bass Christmas Bash as it keeps you playing more as it gives you the bonus quite often although 99% of the time the bonus,what you get there is not that worth yet it is enough to keep you playing longer and longer,and as you stick to the initial budget maybe you can also hit some big win during this time.

[ndutndut]

Its rare for professional gamblers to talk about their losses, even ordinary gamblers will only talk about their wins, they will cover up their losses from the public. Its just that those who are experienced can give advice to those closest to them not to continue gambling because gambling is always closer to losing than luck.

Of course, professional gamblers won't say anything about their losses, especially when they get endorsements from certain sites, I've seen a lot of this on YouTube and other social media. In essence, all gambling players have experienced defeat, especially slot gambling which in fact only relies on luck. The most effective advice comes from yourself first, followed by those closest to you and other people's experiences.

slots are a game that is truly based on luck without needing to ask that the chances of losing are greater, but those who are experienced already understand how slot games work, they can control themselves so they dont lose too big.

To be honest, I really avoid slot games, because I have difficulty understanding how slots work. It's true that money is earned quickly if you win and money is spent quickly if you lose. I myself prefer playing sports betting because I like watching football and occasionally playing in the casino.

[Lucasgabd]

yes, slots is a big numbers game where you'll lose most of the time and win some, not many
you're right when you say that sports betting is harder to manipulate, specially in big results like "one team winning" or over and under goals.
I'm on the same boat

Yeah, they use all their tricks to get you to stay longer at the casino.

If you are losing and planning to go, they can see that and send you a snack with some drinks.

Or, if you just won big, they might come and celebrate with you, give you free drinks, etc, so that you stay and give their money back
