Randomness and Just plain bad luck

[bebo67]

On line gaming is suppose to be random generated. "suppose". When you play at the same casino regularly and only have won a small amount 3x's in the last couple of years. When does bad luck get thrown out the window and randomness becomes a jackass? I know the question is why would I still play there? I have gave them so much money, I just want some off it back.lol. But yes, I did close my account tonight.

I been a long time online player. Closed many accounts during the years. Yes, randomness is a jackass. A manipulated jackass. The best thing you did was close your account. I narrowed my online play to only a few accredited casinos here on Casinomeister. Choose wisely my friend.

Funny enough, this is an accredited casino. When I complained to them about their payout ratio, they informed me that bonuses were included in the 98%. At what time do you feel enough is enough? Do you set yourself a limit and if nothing happens, move on?

That's gambling. You could have a RTP of 99.9% and still bust every deposit. Cash-out at a realistic level, say when you double the deposit.

This is a good point. I think as long as you stay within your budget, and settle on a reasonable cashout, you can be a happy player, most of the time, even when you lose. Because it's like going out on the town and spending $200 on a cab, a couple drinks and dinner for two, and maybe a film - maybe it rained, you had to send your undercooked entree back, the wine was corked, and the cabbie got a ticket for speeding. What fun, huh, when you could had a flutter at home and maybe, with luck, ended up with even an extra $100, for a fun session.

I think it's important to stick to your limits, and have a preset goal for when to cash out.

And what about casino's? What dictates when you have had enough, and are ready to move on to another? I'll have some ginger with that rye btw

The worse thing you can do is chasing your loses. Stay within your budget. When you find yourself in a major loosing streak take a break or self exclude yourself from that casino for a few months. Sometimes your luck can change after taking a break. On occasion I had better luck switching to a sister casino within a particular group. Also as mentioned here don't be greedy. Take your winnings.

Yes, in my experience over the years if you hit a bad run and start chasing it just gets worse and worse. However, if you take a break from that particular casino and come back, say after a couple of weeks your luck seems to be better.

Interestingly I've noticed that if you hit some good luck that tends to be replicated across all casinos when you play with the same software (MG, Netent, IG) Also this seems to be replicated across all casinos if you have a bad spell, which is more usual!

Also if I've taken a withdrawal I tend to try and avoid that particular casino for a while as 99.9% of the time my luck will be out at that casino until it's taken the value of the withdrawal back and usually much more!

There are certainly certain patterns which probably means that there is not randomness in the true sense of the word IMHO.
