    Let's face reality and support responsible gambling. This is not a way to resolve financial difficulties and set boundaries.

    Я играю, чтобы успокоить внутреннего игрока, не больше ради денег, а просто чтобы почувствовать себя победителем.

    I gamble to take a break from work and life in general, but still :) I also live in this utopia where money can be made from it, even though it is difficult.

    People gamble for a variety of reasons, and those reasons can vary greatly from person to person. Here are some common motivations:

    1. Entertainment: Many people gamble simply for fun and excitement. The thrill of risk-taking and the uncertainty of the outcome can be exhilarating for some.

    2. Socialization: Gambling can also be a social activity, providing an opportunity for people to gather, interact, and enjoy each other's company while engaging in games of chance.

    3. Escapism: Some individuals turn to gambling as a form of escape from the stresses and pressures of everyday life. It can provide a temporary distraction and a way to cope with difficult emotions or situations.

    4. Potential Financial Gain: Of course, the potential to win money is a significant motivator for many gamblers. Some see gambling as a way to make quick and easy profits, although it's important to recognize that the odds are typically stacked against the player in most forms of gambling.

    5. Thrill-Seeking: For some, the adrenaline rush associated with gambling is addictive in itself. The highs and lows of winning and losing can create a rollercoaster of emotions that some individuals find addictive.

    6. Problem Gambling: Unfortunately, for a subset of individuals, gambling can become problematic or compulsive. This can lead to financial difficulties, strained relationships, and other negative consequences.
    Overall, the motivations for gambling are complex and can vary widely from person to person. While gambling can be a harmless form of entertainment for many, it's essential to be mindful of the potential risks and to gamble responsibly.

    People gamble for all sorts of reasons, you know? Some just love that rush you get from the game, that adrenaline kick. It's like a whole experience for them.

    One minute you're feeling like you're on top of the world, like you've just cracked the code on Slot77 (or any other shiny game), and the next minute you're left holding an empty bag of chips.

    It's definitely a thrill, but let's be honest - most of us know the odds are stacked against us. For me, it's about the experience, the escape from the daily grind. There's a certain strategy involved, a mind game to outwit the slots (or at least try to!).

    People gamble for various reasons: the thrill of winning, the social interaction, the entertainment value, and the chance to earn money. It can be an exciting and enjoyable activity when done responsibly.

    I gamble to win $$$. Screw all other reasons.

    I would like to win more than I have been, but that would mean I would have to put in more hours which I cannot afford to at the moment even though I live in casino hotels because of work, taking care of my kids, parents, and family, and creating a master plan after all these years.

    The problem with gambling responsibly is that when you start losing, everything goes out the door and the chase starts. I haven't yet seen a gambler who doesn't lose his cool when the long losing streak happens. Some on here would probably disagree.

    I just need to master flat betting and see if it earns me more money since it should definiltely reduce losses.

    People gamble for money. The rest you're just a sado masochist.

    Everyone has their own reasons. For me, it's a mix of the excitement, the challenge of strategy, and sometimes just the fun of trying my luck.:) It’s important to keep it balanced and enjoyable. I love slot games, one of the things that has helped me a lot is watching streamers, like DiceGirl Egle, a professional slots streamer on Twitch who's really into slots games. Slotshub and Syztmz are also worth following for anyone interested in slots.:D Have a nice day! ;)

    Didn't know you need strategy to play slots.

    I thought it was just donations to casinos for whatever little entertainment you get out of it.

    I never touch the slot machines, but that's just me.

    I'm sure there are people who believes that you can beat roulette with some strategies, but honestly how can you possible beat roulette without luck? Who the hell knows what's going to come out next? In the end, without luck, you lose. Rather simple concept.

    Noone can predict the next spin on the roulette wheel but we CAN predict certain outcomes over multiple spins no?

    Absolutely, positively, NO. It's all 100% random. You can predict, yes, whether it comes through often enough to win? No. That's just my opinion so I don't play roulette just like how I NEVER touch the slots.

    Do you know anyone who made a living playing roulette?

    I read an article once about some European player who made a boat load playing roulette, but that's because he figured out how to take an advantage of how the wheel was made and he basically sectioned off 2/3 of the wheel as the landing zone right before the deal would say "No more bets." It was a quite interesting reading and he had to be incredible quick eyed where the ball was going land and quick with his hands making the bets. What he did will no longer work since they redesigned the wheels with the bumpers which will make the ball bound all over the place.

    It's my belief that roulette is for people who don't know how to gamble in games that require skill; like blackjack.

    It's nothing but a guessing game with some type of narrowing down after a certain set of numbers come out, but again it's all random and stupid randomness can't be beat.

    Honestly, I always wondered why Punkcity would even venture into roulette if he is doing so well in baccarat.

    If something isn't broken, then don't fix it, no?

    Wait... First you say
    Then you say...


    So which is it? Because you CAN predict 24 numbers will show within 37 spins. And WAY more often than not, after 37 spins there will be 24 numbers that have shown.

    Go ahead and try it. If you find it interesting, check out Turbos forum. He goes into quite a lot of detail on how you can predict outcomes.
