Thats funnny. I had that happem a couple times. One time I was sitting there and down , and told the machine, come on , you took a buch of my money ,
the jackpot is due, said a little prayer, and the next spin I got the jackpot.
That freaked me out,lol Sure it was all dumb luck.

LOL
I talk all the time to the machine I tell it if your not going to let me win i'm leaving your @ and I hit something that keeps me going.
Or I tell it next time I will take the baseball bat to you next time I come here

Lol That reminds me of when I went to the land based casino with my cane.
I have CIDP and sometimes use a walking aid. That day it was tempting to use
it as a Machine correctional aid! )

I must be the worlds biggest fool for bringing on the razzing I'm sure to get but this is in line with a question I'm always asking myself?

Am I'm effecting the outcome or predicting it?

like if I'm playing blackjack I'll call for the number I need and visualize it and sometimes get it (by that I mean more often than I'd expect - ... I know, some call that luck ).

and when I don't think I'm going to win ... and I don't. I am left wondering if I did it to myself or if I had a premonition it would happen that way?

sadly in either case I lose my money .

but yes, I am pretty good at guessing when I'll hit a win and though you'd have to have an open mind (because this sort of thing is easy to shoot down) but if you've an open mind then I will suggest to you that if you check my screen shots of wins I've had ... you'll see more of them were for a credit value above or far above the minimum value possible. You'll also see where I've won my share of minimum value jackpots too; but what I'm saying is that I will up my credit value on a game when I think I'm going to win. And I have many more wins at higher credit values.

of course, its also possible that I've picked up on some kind of pattern that I don't recognize on a conscious level...

But I think everybody has days when they know they're going to win.

What I think they need to do is try to focus on that and learn to recognize it without needing such a strong signal.

I leave you with this thought. Why is it that when you need to win the money desperately that you are almost guaranteed to lose? (at least where I come from : there is a saying if you need the money don't gamble because you're sure to lose ... which for me at least: seems good advice).

okay, now have your laughs at my expense.

brings up another thing I've often wondered...

if you had yourself hypno'ed to think you were going to win with as much deep-down confidence as you have on those days when you know you're going to win .... would you?

or are you simply on those days ,.... predicting the win rather than influencing it because of the positive expectation?

It was found that some people could influence these machines to a degree greater than chance.

Does anyone have any experience with this, I dont think I can do it but just thought it make for conversation,

hang on folks dont all think at once i can only listen to one mind at a time

Complete, utter, unmitigated nonsense. Post a link to this supposed "study".

Incidentally, if anyone does believe they have any psychic abilities, there's a man named James Randi who has a standing prize of $1,000,000 offered to the first person "to show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." That's likely to pay a lot better than any online casino win.

To date the prize remains unclaimed.

I think all the casinos have some sort of ESP with my gaming. Seems everytime I get up a little, they "know" to kick in the bad vibes squad on me!!! LOL! Seems awhile ago I had a complaint at one site or another, and they directed me to their CS supervisor Helen Waite. The email they sent me said that if I had a complaint, I should go to Helen Waite!!! HAHA, just kidding, but it does seem as if the software knows all sometimes!!!
