I don't bet in such a way so I could ever lose $800 in one day. Think about it. If I deposit even $300, I would have 1500 spins, even if all of them were blanks, betting 20c each. So, because some people bet $100 per spin, does that make the rich stupider and bigger losers? LOL

Oh, well, I tried to talk about a gambling problem. I agree is pretty hard lose too much money in slots, but it is possibly, no way with smoke, alcohol and a lot of hobbies.
My losses [and winnings] wasn't for play slots, I like table games more than slots, and that day, I think i didn't play any slots.


EDIT: By the way, for play slots (the main issue in this post) I think your reply is very interesting.

hey good post were here for each other to vent and learn control

I think the OP is lost to the point that all forms of gambling are supposed to be for entertainment. It's one of the very few forms of entertainment that actually pays for itself from time to time. The only time it's a problem is when people treat it as a means to make money. It's very difficult to actually make money gambling. If it was easy none of us would work and the casinos would eventually go broke.

Now if I make a modest deposit at any given online casino and play for an hour or so, I'm enjoying myself in the comfort of my own home. Yes, I'm paying for it. Yes, I'm probably not going to profit from it. No, I don't consider myself a loser for doing it. Not anymore than I consider myself a loser for renting a movie. The only difference is I've never heard little bells chime and tell me I just won 4000 dollars in the middle of the movie. Would be nice if I did. I'd probably rent a lot more movies.

It would cost me more to go watch a hockey game. (Specially with the 8 dollar pizza slices and the 11 dollar beers.) And I guarantee you at no time will the ref blow the whistle, jump over the boards, climb up the stands and hand me back 10x the cost of my ticket. The money I spend is gone with no chance of a return.

I could go out to a bar instead. That would also cost much more than a night of gambling at an online casino. And although I might get offered something from the cougar at the end of the bar wearing 6 dollars worth of jewelry and 60 dollars worth of make up, it won't be a huge cash win fall.

I guess the point is that we work for our money and what's left over our responsibilities is ours to do with as we please. And if we're spending it on something we enjoy it doesn't really matter if we get our money back when we're done.

That's actually quite a sad thing to say.
I hope that one day you do find that special someone - don't give up hope.

It's a sad lesson to learn how addicting ANY form of gambling can be. I'm sure I am not the only one who has at some point in time, felt the draw of being suckered in to make one more deposit, chasing that ever elusive win. I took a little break(about a month), uninstalled all the casinos off my computer, and realized how much money I was saving by not playing. I recently reinstalled one RTG casino, and have promised myself to budget my time and money better (so far so good, I just need to remember where the cashout button is located).

To use gambling as a substitute/ crutch for participating in real life activites is not a good thing. I've seen how it can destroy a person's self-esteem. Chasing the "dollar and a dream ideal" can financially ruin a person who is using gambling as a substitute for friendship, motivating imagination, and other self-esteem building habits.

It's a form of entertainment, yes it CAN be very costly! But you have to set your own limits...
How much can you afford?
How much time do you spend at your keyboard clicking spin after spin?
Is it alienating you from your family and friends?
Are you spending more than you would going out on a date?

Some will deny they have a problem, I'm not here to judge you. What may be a problem for one wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket for another. But be honest with yourself, because you are the one who has to live with the choices YOU make... Ultimately, no one else can make the choices for you.


People need to take responsibility for their actions...
In the case of the woman and the coffee from McDonalds...was she really that unintelligent to not realize she had ordered HOT coffee, and that it COULD burn her? Where does the responsibility for her actions lie?
Or how about the young woman who was driving and texting? She failed to notice the cars ahead of her were stopped due to an accident because she was too busy texting her friends. End result, she rear ended a vehicle and the mother and daughter who were in the vehicle died a horrific death. So, where does the responsibility here lie? The cellphone company because they sold her the phone? The car manufacturer because the vehicle the victims were in caught fire when rear ended?
The list goes on and on...

All in all, people need to own up to taking responsibility for their actions. Don't blame the casinos because you can't control yourself. Don't blame society because they "made" you do this...

Yes, slots are for losers.

They should only be played maybe just once a year when you go on holiday (or vacation as you yanks like to call it). You play for 10 minutes, walk away - job done. You've either won or lost.

They should be not be played full time or for grinding out wagering requirements as this is an incredibly sad and lonely pastime.

I know, I've been there and done it. I really can't believe I did that for hours on end. So pathetic.Such a waste of time. We weren't born to play slots full time.

People need to read this. They need to understand that slots are for losers.

Well, I'm glad you stopped by to tell me what the best way is to spend my time. All this time I've been sitting in front of the computer watching the reels spin wondering if someone would ever come along and tell me what I should really be doing. Finally! My free time savior! Now I can close the casino and spend my free time doing something someone else thinks is better!

Whew!

I await your wise instruction on where I should be and what I should be doing when I'm not at work or doing chores. Where should I spend my extra money? Please tell me what to do. Without these online slot games I just sit idle. My empty shell is without purpose. I am in dire need of direction. Fill me with your wisdom so that I too may lead a meaningful life.......

Ok. Now I'm just rambling.
