Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time)

[|MINER|]

To say that way, it is like saying that all kinds of gambling is a waste of time. Because in all gambling there are chances of winning as well as chances of losing. However, in this case, slot games directly depend on luck, on the other hand, in the case of sports betting, the probability of winning is a little higher if you keep the knowledge of the touch relationship.  Even then I would say that gambling is only played for entertainment purpose, then I call it slot game or sports game, I don't call it a time waste.

The higher the difficulty of the game the better your odds. Poker is probably at the pinnacle of this list, but sports aren't far from the top. Slots and dice are at the very bottom, but at least slots can entertain you with themes and music, so if you have to complain, complain about dice.

Of the four you mentioned, in my opinion, the most difficult are poker, slots and dice because sports betting itself will be easier when we have sufficient knowledge and experience because it is not like games that rely on luck and unlike poker which requires playing strategy.
Sports betting has different way of working from other betting options, but we must be able to collaborate between knowledge, experience and also beliefs or feelings.
Honestly, I don't really agree with you statement.

At the end of the day, slots are probably the games with the worst odds, that's why casinos are filled with them.

That because there are no opportunities that can be easily obtained from slot games because there is an RTP that is uncertain at all times and slot games work randomly.
Unlike other games, gamblers can use various strategies and slots don't really influence strategy.
What can be done is to determine the right time to have high RTP so that the returns in each round can be better to minimize significant losses.

That's true and that's why we have to be able to control ourselves by not gambling excessively and guarding the money we have so that it doesn't run out quickly in one day. We do have a chance of winning, but we also have a chance of losing, where the chance of losing can become big quickly if we can't control ourselves. Slot games can make people forget to restrain themselves from using too much money because that will only make them experience more losses. We also have to remember that slot games require luck to win, so we can only win if we have luck.

Yeah, slot machines are probably the most profitable ones from the casino's point of view.

I think most slot machines have a similar algorithm, and you can't really time then, or get one that is "due".

They are simply random all the time, with bad odds for the gambler.

The risk of a completely luck-based game like slot machines is huge and it's very frustrating, if you get involved but don't bring control and some strong boundaries to be honest I'm not sure you will be able to survive completely, even more often than not you will easily lose money very quickly. On the other hand, as you suggested about not going overboard with this type of game, I think this is a game that is too hard for people who are not mentally tough.

Of course then I hope that if you really want to get involved there then at least you have to find out first about the biggest impact that can happen and befall you, you can see many examples from other people's cases, for those who are too serious in putting hope by always chasing defeat in order to achieve recovery is very difficult and impossible in my opinion. So if you are not ready then I think it's better to look for other bets that are safer and not too draining mentally and your money such as maybe skill-based sports if you really have knowledge in the world of sports.

Yes, and I think most people prefer playing slots compared to other gambling games. Maybe there is an advantage to the slot itself, namely that you only need to bring a gadget and it is easy to play anywhere with friends while hanging out together.

Basically the same, namely there is no playing time limit and there are no rules for placing bets, so people will find it easy and free to run their slots. And if gamblers don't immediately realize it and stop doing it, it will have a bad impact on their lives, because in gambling actually more people experience losses than those who experience profits.

But unfortunately, I ended up losing the entire $55 dollar while I still had about $582 dollar in wager requirement, I am not confident enough to deposit and continue chasing, so I'm giving up.
What about you?

In this case, indeed, the best and wisest thing is to stop it. Sometimes, gambling really makes us full of joy because we gamble just for fun. But, not always, because, sometimes, the lure or temptation of money smells very sweet. So without realizing it, we have lost a lot of money in slots. Indeed, there is no doubt that slots are quite dangerous, especially for those of us who cannot really control ourselves and understand the risks, sometimes we chase results to get $100, and we feel incredibly happy. Meanwhile, in fact, it turns out that if we add it up, we have already spent $1000 on slots.

Slots are the very definition of luck-based gambling. We get their appeal - bright lights, exhilarating sounds, adrenaline rush! However, these games are meant to capture, attract, and trap. The risk? Massive. Your boundary focus is vital. Without them, one descends into loss and frustration. People chasing losses, a vicious cycle that spirals out of control, is common. However, what about fun? Slots are fun if played sensibly. The key? Moderation. Limit time, money, and emotions. Remember, there are many entertaining ways to gamble, like sports betting, where information is power. Gambling should be fun, not for recovery or profit.

When we're having much fun we forget that we've been losing a lot. I think it depends on how you take that loss if that seems to be fine and you're enjoying the game. Think of the losses as your payment for the entertainment that you've taken from slots or any game. But we don't want to be losers at most times and even we're enjoying, it's no fun to keep on losing.

So without realizing it, we have lost a lot of money in slots. Indeed, there is no doubt that slots are quite dangerous, especially for those of us who cannot really control ourselves and understand the risks, sometimes we chase results to get $100, and we feel incredibly happy. Meanwhile, in fact, it turns out that if we add it up, we have already spent $1000 on slots.

Those who have no control over themselves won't notice that they're losing a lot so they need to check themselves before continuing. Because they will keep on losing money as the paced of this game is very quick to the point that you're fine to lose money because all you think about is having fun. And if you're okay with that, you gotta have a lot of money and it's not going to affect you a lot when you're having that position when you gamble and losing a lot.

But for normal folks like me and you, we don't need to realize that we've been losing even if we're having fun. Because those that are in control will already see that we've been losing a lot of money and we can't take to have that on a continuous mode especially if there's a big money involved.

It's surely true that the importance of establishing strong boundaries and maintaining control to navigate the frustration and potential financial losses. The cautionary note about the difficulty of surviving without these precautions underscores the need for mental toughness in engaging with based-luck games. Your suggestion to avoid going overboard and highlighting the challenging nature of slot machines aligns with the idea that it requires a resilient mindset. That is a wise advice for potential players to understand the potential impacts by learning from others' experiences. It's good to emphasize the difficulty of recovering losses through persistent chasing.

Skill-based sports bets is a safer bets for anyone who has relevant knowledge about the sport. This is a good recommendation for a pragmatic approach to gambling. It underscores the importance of choosing activities that are not only financially sound but also less mentally draining. This balanced perspective encourages responsible gambling practices and aligns with the idea of making informed choices in the realm of betting.

You are right, slot games are really the fastest way to burn money when it comes to gambling, even if one is betting the lowest or the minimum amount, it is still very possible to lose more than a hundred dollars in an hour or even less.

I personally have come to see slot games as a means of just having fun because, making anything tangible from slot that you as the player don't end up losing all back to the casino is simply by luck, and such luck is very rare.

I can't deny the fact that, many have made good money from playing slot games, that is, they won live changing amount of money, and I myself have been hoping and looking forward to the day I will also share the same testimony as those who have made it through playing slot games, but it seems that, the more I try, the lesser it looks like my chance of ever winning are 😁.

[0t3p0t]

Totally agree. It is really a waste of time and money. I personally played this in an online casino I think that was some months ago and I ends up losing all the deposited amount of money I got on my account. After all my funds are gone, I did not mind to play on it again. From slot games I jumped into sports betting.

I also think that slot games are just a waste of both time and money. Because there is not much entertainment in them.  Only gamblers panic when playing them. But as much as I have gambling experience, Dice, Crash, Plinko, Mines, Hilo, Blackjack have enough fun and profit opportunities. Here only you have to play cool and bet cool. However, there is no guarantee that you will do these things.  But it is possible to profit from them if you have skill.

[BitcoinTurk]

As someone who usually prefers slot games when I gamble I claim that this is partly a waste of time and money and partly not. For example, since the reason why I generally prefer slot games is to spend some time and have fun, I think that this isn't a waste of time and money for me because I enjoy playing slots and I already take the risk of losing the money I will use to play slots.

Although it is rare, there are sometimes I win when I play slots and for this reason I think that slot games aren't a waste of money and time. So, if I had to comment based on my own experience I can say that the idea that "playing slots is a waste of money and time" may be partially true. Since it is a form of fun for me and I rarely earn money I don't think it is a complete waste of money and time.

There is no entertainment in all games if you do not like it, if you cant enjoy it, and if you have your own preferences.
All games will also be waste of time and money if you cant control your gambling habit.
Wasting time or not is not about the game, it is subjective from our own preferences as gambler, based on ourselves on how to deal with our gambling habit.
Coming to possibility to make profit in these games, what kind of skills you are talking about and how it is possible to use skills while they are all luck based game.

I've never been lucky with slot games, never, and I am not pleased about it to be honest.
What about you?

Almost all of us know that slot games are a waste of time, but we still play them, slot games sometimes make us addicted more quickly because usually at small betting tables we often win. I've also never been lucky when playing slots because at the start of the round sometimes we can always win the bet on several rounds, but when changing tables to go up on a slightly bigger round I quite often lose the bet completely.

I'm also never happy when I experience a losing streak in slots, but it's hard to avoid this game when have money and there's almost no way to stop even though we know that winning at slots always relies on luck.

Not all gamblers in the crypto gambling industry think that slot games are just a waste of time. What if they help them get relief from the heavy problems they are going through? Would you say it's a waste of time?

That is to say, it depends on the reason why a gambler plays, especially for gamblers who see it as a source of income. They get a profit here not even every day, but when they win, they still get their money back. If you lose and still have some profit at the end, can you still say it's a waste of time? I'm just asking.

That makes sense, whether or not a game is a waste of time really comes down to each person's perspective on it. You're only really entertained when you play the games you like, like I do, out of thousands of games I only pick 1/2 that I visit every session, and that's fine with me and I wouldn't say it's a waste of money because I have an engagement plan that keeps me safe in terms of my budget.

I suspect that if you're trying out all the games that are out there it's likely that your goals are different to some people who are still fully conscious, I think it's likely that you want something beyond the fun of it, so you're trying out all the games with the aim and hope of "hopefully finding a bit or even a lot of luck (winning)".

As you said above I agree that gambling is a complete waste of money when you get involved with the wrong approach and the wrong way and also driven by the wrong understanding of gambling itself, that's clear. If you gamble on games like slots then it's entirely up to you how lucky you are at the time, some methods/strategies really don't work, I've tried it and now it's your turn if you don't believe me.

If you are not a fan of gambling, you will find that it is a useless activity and a waste of time and money. It can be a detrimental thing if played by "stupid" people who cannot interpret and understand gambling. This is because such a person does not have the ability to determine when he should play jdui and when he should stop for a while from such activities, and such a person will continue to gamble as long as he has some money. and when the person is really addicted to gambling, then he will always try to get money so that he can play gambling, such as going into debt or selling his personal belongings that are quite valuable. but not for people who are wise in understanding and interpreting gambling, he knows very well when he should play and when he should stop, without having to leave what is his responsibility.

And speaking of the possibility of winning in gambling, we all have the same chance of winning, as long as we are still playing gambling. but are we able to create an opportunity to increase the probability of winning? I think this is something that is difficult for us to achieve, so instead of continuing to chase victory, we should continue to try to minimize the level of risk in playing gambling, so that we can prevent large and significant losses. And this we can achieve, namely with good self-control and good financial control as well.

[Unbunplease]

it should be clearly understood that all your actions electronic casino monitors, and if necessary, the results are corrected. If you play often in slot games, you may be given a little win to pull you into the game more. and then it's up to you - either you take a small winnings and leave the game, or you will continue to play - and lose
