I just bought 4 $10 scratch offs and didnt win shit

going to the casino tomorrow, share your success/failure stories

You're more likely to get struck by lightning than win a scratch off.

I was winning and positive on $10 scratch offs the past couple weeks but tonight I lost

Ive heard that 1 in every 4 scratch offs is a winner

in vegas wanted to play $5 on 22 black guy says minimum is $10 was like fuck it gave him $10 sure enough it hit 22 black won $360 gave him $10 tip. It's all luck most likely you will just piss your money away your better off sitting by the bar pretend your playing and get free drinks.

>gamble, win sometimes
>gamble, lose sometimes

I'm addicted to online slots
I'm in Europe where we have lots of decent online casinos, unlike America where they are all shit
I have won and lost about £20,000 in the last two months.
This is one of my recent wins as proof

yeah seems that way

i just dont see how you could win alot just doing 50 cent bets on slots, if u bet higher you go through $100 in 20 minutes

i only play poker, but never in casinos. FUCK THAT. ill take the house online fucking over my odds compared to dealers and drink girls asking for tips every 2 hands

If slots are your game play the newest ones they want people to win to hype up the new game or play the oldest slot machines they have they need to payout a certain lifetime percentage to get rid of them. Also never play near table games they dont want people to yell that they won when people are at tables.

>gamblers
>scratch offs

lol, this is like candy crush players being counted as "gamers"

nice trips this is true although I played poker at a casino with old retired rich guys they just through money away

i had a gf, now long ex-gf, who became addicted to poker machines. she was poor, but she'd go to this club and just put whatever money she had into the machines and eventually lose it all. this was usually at night, and she'd then call me.. and ask me to drive to her place.. borrow some money off her partner - the guy who she'd replaced me with, who was stuck at home minding her kids - and then bring that money to her. and wait while she lost it, so i could drive her home.

she was usually drunk by this point, because as long as she was gambling the club would give her free drinks. once she got so drunk she started laughing and punching me in the side of the head while i was trying to drive around a corner.

pic related, it was from her favorite machine.

odd thing is, as a psych student she'd studied statistics and understood entirely the nature of the trap. but she did it anyway.

true. i mean live poker is always meant to be much much easier, but unless you're really experienced playing live it can get distracting.

Interesting, that was always my philosophy with scratch offs buy the newest ones

yeah I dont gamble much

I play here and there, there's just some things you have to remind yourself while you're playing.
You either win or you lose, there's no "Oh that was close", and it seems obvious, but you only play with what you're willing to lose. Basically always assume that the money you take out to gamble with is going straight into someone else's pocket.

Last time I went to the casino I was pretty lucky, won 1200.00 on roulette and a few thousand on slots, luckiest day gambling I ever had.

>be me

>hm, I see what you did there
>you want me to keep thinking the more I risk, eventually the more I'll win

>never become a degenerate gambler

Hi user just lost 250$ on a bet a few Minutes ago.

Fuck Argentinian Soccer fuck it

>Live in Vegas
>Become dealer
>Learn about professional slots
>Learn to do it.
>Make extra 3k a month playing slots

There is no such thing as "professional" slots
They are 100% random
Unless you mean video poker where some machines can play like 101% RTP if played
to perfection

It is a thing alright. You just don't know about it. In fact the mass mass mass majority of people don't. That is the way it more or less has to stay as well. Though video poker is one part of it.

yeah Im feeling lucky lately but reality is ill probly lose it all
ive heard people say sports are fixed thats why theyre easy to bet on but i dont buy it

>1 in every 4 scratch offs is a winner

Yes. If you buy 4 tickets one will win. You will still net a loss but at least you'll line up something...

wow that’s a boring story. you really need to be less paranoid

You can not play a game that has a theoretical RTP (return to player) of around 85 to 90 %(as most slots in Vegas are set at) for any length of time and expect to make a profit
Unless you hit a jackpot you are going to lose in the long term

>any gamblers here
Yes.

Success story: made $1200 in 45 seconds on FOREX

Failure story: lost $2000 on FOREX

i'm probably down over $1k on vlts easy which is shit and down at the casino who knows. hit $1200 on slots one time and some 500-800 days but mostly losing every time. at least i don't pay taxes on any of it in canada

>I never play a slot for long.
>I only play slots when they are ready to hit
>If you are in the know you can check machines and see if they are in the correct states to hit
>Not all games have heightened win states.
>Still some risk involved but you turn the odds to your favor
>Have to understand how comps work and how to maximize your comps/free play

>didnt ask

You kinda did though. You said it wasn't possible. So I gave you some of the basics.

how do u know when theyre ready to hit? do you keep an eye out for people winning

I'm not into gambling.
went to a casino 2 times, with some friends, kinda drunk, lost 50 bucks each time, was so pissed, I never went to a casino again... that was 10 years ago... fuck this shit.

a buddy of mine goes regulary in a casino...
I watched this dumb fuck lose his entire months salary a few times now,
but he is the happiest fucker ever, if he wins loke 50 or 100 bucks every now and then.
this guy is so poor, and if he gets a new job and makes some money, he immediately runs to the next casino.
i work hard for my money, and I wont spent it in a fucking casino...

(but I do like playing the lottery, I spend 5 bucks almost every week, it's just 5 bucks, so fuck it...)

>ready to hit
fuck off retard

It has absolutely nothing to do with that. Though sometimes you do have to wait for a machine to get juiced. Lots of machines have gimmicks that tell you when you have a heightened chance to win. Other ones you have to check. For example if you know how much money moves a progressive 1 cent you can predict your EV and how much it will cost you to make that progressive drop.

Ahhh. Keep being a poor dumb ass who feeds muh machines. I love your kind.

>but he is the happiest fucker ever

many stupid people are happy
they simply don't understand how fucked their lives are and how bleak their future really is

Any of you degenerates know how I can play poker for real money online in the US?

poker fag here, play on ignition

true, youre truly winning when your savings are going up

Sat down at a hold em table as a total fish with 100 bucks. Two hands in caught a monster and big blind caught a piece too. He either thought I was bluffing or thought he had me beat but I was able to get him all in against me by the river and doubled up. Stacked his chips, smiled at him and left the table immediately.

Another time back room hold em at a bar sat down with another hundo and was even younger and less experienced at the time. Two of the old fucks at the table ran me for my buy in within ten minutes. Proceeded to get drunk as fuck and reloaded at least another five times, maxing out the ATM and blowing my bank account without realizing the two guys were running me. Called them on it and almost got in an all out fist fight before cops were called. Woke up dead broke and hungover with a drunk and disorderly charge.

Never play cards drunk

You really are a fish...

>wow that’s a boring story

wow... if i was the guy from the first hand i would be so fucking pissed that you left haha.that's so mean. sucks about the guys cheating though, i only play at casinos or with people that i know

>reloaded at least another five times
lol

Yeah man those were my younger days when I thought I was gonna be the next Phil Ivey. Gotta learn somehow..

yup I trade crypto instead of having a job

Finally a thread about this.
Played all sorts of dice games in hs and college.
Really made you fucking supersticous. Could never quite hang around long enough for my luck to turn around. Got the bug again and am learning to play pool and currently addicted to online poker.

At casino most weekends, mostly just hanging out and drinking but usually have a bet.

Lately been failing hard lol. Keep winning a couple of grand on slots and roulette and then drinking too much and heading to high roller slots and dumping it all on $100 a spin machines. Lose all, walk home and go back to shitty job for another week and do it all again next weekend. Really need to stop drinking while gambling

>I trade crypto

more action in crypto than anything you can find in a casino

True.

>If you're going to gamble play Black Jack.
>Watch an on-line tutorial about how to play it.
>You can still lose your ass if you don't know when to quit.
>The odds are never in your favor.
>Only Trump can bankrupt a casino.

I always liked pool, i should play more
I couldnt see myself going often, i could see how its fun with the free drinks and everything

This is the normal gambler. Over estimating wins.
