When Luck Turns Your Bankroll Around (Slots Story)

[Maslate]

So just recently I got bored and spent most of my time spinning slots. Honestly, I already expected that money to be gone because we all know slots are bankroll killers. But this time I got lucky, my disposable bankroll shot up to almost 100x. Ended the day full of excitement, used some of the winnings to hang out with friends, had a few drinks, and of course I left a bit aside for the next session (once the hangover fades). 

The point I want to share is we should manage our expectations when playing games where we don’t have an edge. That way if we lose, it’s easier to move on. And if we happen to get lucky, like I did, the feeling of victory is even sweeter.

This is the right attitude that I see in OP.
A win is never guaranteed to manage your expectations. The amounts we play with should be expected losses really because if it's something we can't do without we'll be having a hard time recovering from the loss and the spiral it can create.

If you have disposable income you could do without, sure, gambling can be fun. But also do note that the money can be gone so fast you won't even realize.

So for these times you must have restraint and good bankroll managment.

Being able to gamble just for fun is probably the best achievement we can have. Even when we lose, it’s not a big problem because we understand that losses are part of gambling. As long as we continue with a managed budget and discipline, even if we gamble daily, it won’t necessarily bring problems. In fact, it might even inspire us instead of dragging us down.

I understand perfectly well what you are trying to say, a winning that is unexpected is always way way more sweeter than one we have been anticipating about and looking forward to it happening, whereas if it ends up not happening, we are left in utter disappointment and all.

So, I perfectly understand the feeling as I too have experienced this type of win some time back where I played some game the previous day, I wasn't winning, I got tired of playing and logged off the casino with my remaining bankroll in there, the next day, I remembered I still have some balance on the casino, so I went to simply gamble it off and empty my balance there, but fortunately, I won, I made over x70 win and I felt really good but I hadn't expected this to happen, I ended up withdrawing a good amount when I initial plan was to simply gambler away the balance and leave.

first of all congratulation to you by hitting 100x after a long losing streak, but what i would like to say is that managing expectation to me is just a way of bearing it in mind that all staking should be considered loss till you are lucky to win, because if we dont manage our expectation properly by zeroing our mind, we might become aggressive when the wining is not coming forth. but zero mindedness as proclaim to be managing expectation should be considered as a major factor,  so that when luck plays it part it becomes victory as yours.

But why is it always a case similar to the story you shared now for most gamblers. You cash out big, use a substantial amount of the money for hang outs and the rest is kept for another gamble which might still end in losses. Why can't you used the money you've made over there for other investments like to start building your bitcoin portfolio or growing your existing one.

Many people around me and online who give their accounts of making it quite big in gambling say they spend the money lavishly on material things and hangouts with friends which is indeed a rough practice in my own opinion. There should be something more financially beneficial to you that you use your gambling gains from.but I guess the reason why it's easily sellable by these individuals is because they did not suffer to accumulate it since it was based on luck so the brain also process it as free money you can send it without being so stressed on the accountability side.

Slot games are beneficial but "if lucky", if not, we only continue to play and play without regard to our budget has been drained.

If all gamblers say about honesty, all gamblers will admit that eliminating expectations in the slot game is difficult and certainly curiosity or want to get big profits always appear in our minds. Like my previous experience initially lost but after that getting maxwin and indeed it was fun but the expectations were higher pushing to continue to play and lose in a row. I often get maxwin but if I count again not equivalent to the losses that I experienced.

And for me it is not an expectation that makes all this fun but bet on a slot game with a small amount. If you get a big multiplier, we will feel the pleasure and when we lose we will not feel disappointed.

100x is solid dude.

Sounds like you had a great run! That’s really the best way to look at it and just treat slots as entertainment and don’t expect anything back. Wins like that are rare, but when they do come, it makes the experience way more fun. Good call on using some of the winnings to enjoy with friends instead of just putting it all back in. Keeping expectations in check definitely makes gambling less stressful. This is the fun I am looking though I dont expect this when I go to Solaire or Okada hehe.

Exactly, gambling just for fun is a good achievement, because this way there will be no excessive gambling, such as continuously depositing money after experiencing losses. With the OP who won, he replied that at that time, luck was indeed on his side. However, even so, the OP may have previously lost a lot of money gambling, but that is common because the chance of losing is greater.
Congratulations to the OP who has managed to win, because that is one of the pleasures of gambling. In the future, don't think that big wins will always come easily because luck is not always on your side, so there must still be limits set.

I agree on this, most of my big win was acquired when I’m playing just for leisure time as in I’m not expecting to win anything.

While experience my big loss if I’m using a huge bankroll with the intent to win the game. The difference is I’m getting good result when my goal is just to kill time.

Yeah the joy is better when you're not expecting much, the winning feels like a miracle and lights up your day. Everyday doesn't have to be a bad day right?
Congratulations to you OP.

Expectation is the addiction catalyst, when you feel it's your right that the casino gives you a good win, you end up chasing that win longer than you should and grow bitter if you don't get it thereby being the architect of your frustration. It's a mindset thing, approach gambling with the right mindset and you'll have a great time on the casino, else you're only orchestrating your own depression from a heavy financial loss even if you started off on a winning streak.

Gambling for fun is the best so that, when you are lucky to win your bet, you feel the joy and enjoy the fun more. I have feel the same whenever, I win my bet because I don't always expect anything back whenever I am gambling because I believe that the house edge always win. Every gambler will definitely ha ve their lucky day but how you soend your win is what matters a lot.

[Odohu]

I have similar story to tell, although I'm not encouraging anyone to have high expectations from slot games. The fact is that I have had my biggest gambling win from slot, something I never knew is possible and the win came when I did not expect it. Slot can turn your life around very fast and it can also ruine it at the same speed, hence it's always good to manage expectations properly.

I've been here, there's a time that I just automatically rolls the slots and just based on the sound while browsing stuff, I know that I will be losing since that's just a spare coins that I have and there's no any live games to place bet with in sports betting, so I just go towards slots and when I'm about to lose, I've managed to win 70x and fills my bankroll, and of course what I did is stop it immediately and just use it later when there's a sports I can place bet with.

It's easier to expect that you are losing than hoping to get back from what little you have, you are right. It's may easier to move on and much happier if you win  

[Agbamoni]

Your comfortable giving the advise because you didn't expected the win but you got lucky to win in the end. My first experience in gambling happened this way, in fact back then I dont even know how the casino work I just kept on playing, in the end I won a good amount. After that, I felt this is how it happens in gambling. My point is newbies in gambling listening to your story won't know the positive and negative side of gambling. They may feel, you have to keep doing it this way and one good day you will get lucky.

Firstly I would say congratulations is not really that easy to outsmart the  casino/slot not to talk of getting 100x your staking amount, I'm sure that this is a huge amount of money regardless the fact that I don't know your staking amount. And yeah hanging out with friends is also a nice way of enjoying your wining or enjoying it with your family, I'm sure that you guys really enjoyed yourselves.

That's exactly the point gambling as a means of fun or entertainment is always the best way and not going with the intention of wining from gamble because this way you might feel depressed after making several unsuccessful attempt, but when you go with the intention of having fun even though you exhaust your bankroll you won't feel depressed but to walk away.

It is the problem of inflated expectations.
When you plan to win big money, become rich fast - you mostly get dysmorality. If you plan just to spend time, get some bright emotions - you are ready to pay for it and if you win, it becomes additional bonus for you.
I play in the same way, it is really good decision for gamblers.

PS. I was broken twice in such way. Once i`ve catch odd 15+ and it seemed that i would won it, but my team lost at last minutes. The time when a called to a restaurant to celebrate.

The thing is that in the end, most people that win end up celebrating and losing all their wins anyway.

Casinos usually have lots of bars, restaurants, etc, so people can celebrate their wins just there.

It's the same for the casino owners, they either get the money from the gambling or from the bars.

Gambling should be more like if you can't risk it don't gamble it, it is as simple that which I have learnt about, you must consider whatever you gambled with to be lost this is strategic to keep the mind in a good condition where when it finally turns winning the excitement becomes maximized and of course you will never take any form of pride about it since both winning and losing can influences a gambler behavior when it comes to taken precedings for a continuity of gambling over the time for those of us who still want to be in the game .

Having started playing slot machines once, I was surprised that, yes, they can sometimes make us happy. I say this with irony because earlier, I thought that by playing, I was just throwing money away. However, we need to admit that people win at slot machines every day, and we should not be surprised that these lucky ones are not us, because there are still a lot of people who also play and try their luck. OP was on this list of lucky people today, and every time we should remember that when playing, you should not have illusions, but you should not lose hope either, because this is the very idea of ​​gambling.
