Lost $3,000 on high limit slots

[eddie kerr]

Do you know that slot machines have the worst odds out of all games?

Apparently 75% casino profits come from slots

That's why they occupy most of floor space in the casinos.

$10000 is a lot but consider yourself "lucky" that you didn't lose a hundred grand.

Don't be depressed, just do not go back and try to make up for the loss.

Not sure haw bad your addiction is but you might have to consider professional help.

But if its not too overwhelming yet just try to pull through it by yourself.

Go outside for long walks and try to figure out why the addiction in the first place.

Try to find another hobby!

Slots are the worst game in town for sure.

If you like gambling maybe learn poker.

But really there is only one way to beat the slots.

You are so right. Slots, whether you play online or live at casinos have the worst odds to win. You are better off playing baccarat or blackjack which has the best odds, or even roulette and play odds or evens or black or red. I have been playing online poker no limit holdem for about 6 years and have cashed in over $2500. while losing about $500. Also won an entry to a live tournament in Manchester England, but had to pay my airfare, declined and took the buying amount of 300 Euros instead. My biggest pet peeve is that Ahole Doug Ford has changed the rules for online poker sites by giving licences to only a few sites for Ontario residents to legally play out of the hundreds of sites available around the world. Lastly, I am very upset seeing all the TV commercials showing how exciting it is to play Slots online knowing that it is the worst form of gambling and how young people get addicted.

Why would you watch videos on Youtube about slot machines? Unless you have a problem? While waiting for my Chinese girlfriend while she was gambling, I sat in the lobby and started looking online about gambling addiction. The problem goes deep. Luckily for me gambling is deeply boring.


"Anyone else addicted to slots/gambling? What's the most you've lost? I feel depressed, since I could have seen ten ladies with the money I blew."

Slot machines are programmed with an algorithm which ensures that overall, the house always wins. Why play something that is programmed to make you lose?

The best odds are poker, because there is some skill involved.

Black Jack can be hacked. It’s called card counting and all casinos vigilantly watch out for it.

The hardest thing to do at a casino is to leave when you’re up. Most people can’t.

Or someone may win and cash in their winnings, but eventually return a week or two later and lose what they had originally won and more.

Go to a casino and put $20,000 on black in roulette.
1 of two things will happen, you walk away with $40,000, make up the 10k you lost and then some or now you really have something to be depressed over

Not me but my father gambles on horse racing. Done it his whole life and I've seen many a night he come home with the "I fucked up face" on.

Then I had a friend that maxed out his credit cards playing slots at woodbine. His parents had to bail him out of the debt but they eventually straightened him out.

My advice is to completely stop or seek help because I am a firm believer Gamblers don't change. My father told me never gamble but he does it every other weekend.

When it comes to handling your money, this should be your motto:

Casino gambling, no
Stock market investing, yes

You can beat the casino house short-term, but you cannot beat the house long-term. Impossible!!

My friend has Parkinson diseases. He got a dopamin agonist medication Pramipexole. Unfortunately this medication has an unwanted side effects and make him a pathological gambler. Very strange but your brain couldn't make enough dopamin for you, that's why you have Parkinson, but the same brain could make more than enough Dopamin when you start gambling. No doctor told this side effect, but he figured out after he lost everything. Too late now but it happen many times if you take dopamin agonist medication. Be careful!

 

[Jenesis]

I can’t play slots. Or really even go into casinos. The noise and the lights give me a migraine headache every time so I just don’t go anymore.

it is hard when money is gone and you feel you have nothing to show for it. Sorry sweetie.

I also heard if you start winning too much at poker or blackjack tables, casinos will start banning you.
This apparently happened to Dana White. He was winning too much.
So whats the point in even gambling then, if you cant beat the casinos long-term??

When Dana White was banned from the Palms Casino for winning too much money

Dana White, the president of the UFC, is well-known for his love of gambling and has won substantial amounts in Las Vegas casinos, his adopted home.

Gambling addiction is a disease. One of my wives was addicted to slot gambling. Horrible. I never gamble.

I got a free $25 last time I stayed at a Niagara hotel, so I sat down at a 5 cent poker machine and walked away with $ 28.50.

I've tried some gambling before. I would typically make my 50 dollar donation and then leave. On good days, that 50 dollars would last an hour on the roulette table. On bad days, it would be gone in minutes.
And I can't think fast enough to play blackjack. I end up pissing off the other people at the table.
I realized that I'd rather spend that money somewhere else... a good meal, a good massage,... anything but at a casino.

When it's your hard-earned money, you really think about how you should spend it.

Casinos bore me to tears but I do wager on sports....just not enough that I go into a red ink streak.

Poker can be highly addictive, I only play at a charity event annually...btw have you meet Ceiling Cat's bookie?

im not so sure that you would be banned for winning at poker........if you are a winning player you are taking $ from other players....the casino takes a rake from each hand so it doesnt care who wins or loses

Man, I am so dead against gambling I wont even bet money with my friends in a poker game. Yup, I am that stingy.

Prudent ?

What makes it worse is that I have a side hustle, delivering groceries for Instacart. It's very hard work, and I average only $15 an hour, before expenses. In the last two years, I made $15,000, working about 1,000 hours. Most of that ($10,000) was wiped out in less than six hours of slot play.

There are help available if you want counseling for a gambling addiction.

I never play slots. Its a suckers game.
The only casino games I play are poker or blackjack. And of course sports betting.

I love playing slots to cool down when the cards aren't going my way. Order all the most expensive drinks and I'm good for an hour or two !
