and his friends saw what was happening and were telling him to set aside some of the millions but he didn't listen and went down to zero. when he reached 40 million USD peak (couple million at pool then by winning at dice & poker (maybe marking cards?), he ran out of players wanting to take him on at poker thus he turned his action to dice), then he made the mistake of taking on baccarat where he went to lose 20 million USD in 10 days. By the way some Chinese high rollers these days are losing 10 million $ in 15 minutes at baccarat. Karas said this "Money means nothing to me. I don't value it. I've had all the material things I could ever want. Everything. The things I want, money can't buy: health, freedom, love, happiness. I don't care about money, so I have no fear. I don't care if I lose it."

what about this guy Anargyros Nicholas Karabourniotis commonly known as Archie Karas, is a Greek-American gambler, high roller, poker player, and pool shark famous for the largest and longest documented winning streak in casino gambling history, simply known as The Run, when he drove to Las Vegas with $50 in December 1992 and then turned a $10,000 loan into more than $40 million by the beginning of 1995, only to lose it all later that year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jIL3KLy1jM

did you manage to lose 8k at betsson already, was it on slots?

it's a little risky and it did lead to the 3rd relapse (costing -39.51e) when the FS paid rubbish (0.93e) but at same time not accepting it would be like finding free money and not picking it up and there is a tiny chance I could win a progressive jackpot with those FS. Also would be nice to get a trained monkey to do the spins for me, maybe will look into setting up an automouse clicker for that purpose cause the skinner box of clicking a button and getting a random reward is still messing with the brain just as they did with pigeons and rats even if the reels are covered the spin wins could be showing or could cover that too and only let myself see how many spins are remaining.

here's some videos I found when people rage against the machines. enjoy. Guy smashes roulette machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pls0TiPyTk Old man breaks slot machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXw1MlzvGJU Man takes revenge on slot machines with axe after losing 5,000e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVTLegQ2qVk

from a slots documentary there was talk about how sound is used to keep people playing slots and one guy that composes the sounds for the slots had this to say: "Everything is in major key, so happy sounding, if you lose there will be no sound, you don't want to reinforce that you've lost, the winning sounds they feel good about what they've done, and they keep plugging away".

Solving it on my own, so I thought of something to help prevent relapses so here it goes: going to start keeping a track of how many days I am going without spending cash on slots (only free promo spins/free bonuses allowed with no sound/no screen), this will help to prevent relapses cause of not wanting to break a streak and more. I might update it daily or weekly will see how it goes. Day #1 completed 29.12.2019

even if he makes 50 or more tenner deposits in a day , he can always say it was from a tenner while not mentioning the previous 49+ x tenners deposited during the 24 hours. It will make the slot miracle story sound more amazing and is something the casinos love get promoted, e.g first time depositer deposits a tenner and wins a jackpot on their first time playing to get many people to deposit a tenner after all nearly everyone has a spare tenner they don't need.

there was this video that showed up at youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKIICpqEJzY it's about What's way more addictive than people think? and after watching it doesn't mention gambling and I went to see the comments and someone pointed that out. Rhoda Watkins (6 hours ago) Gambling. Can't believe no one said that. They must all be at the casino. it did however show that Video game loot boxes and how some people can dump thousands of dollars into trying to getting an item they wanted. Video game loot boxes are kind of like gambling for some people and it's targeted at kids.

Slot features used to mean something where you would have a drink and watch the slot dish out decent wins after all the spinning you had done to trigger it, but now what good is it when you are lucky enough to trigger a feature it most cases churns out most rubbish payouts, in land based back in the days getting a 2xBet feature would be unheard of (people would have taken a sledge hammer to smash them if they pulled that on players back then (theres a video of some guy doing that tho you can find it on youtube as well as other acts towards the machines), the features would go on for minutes and minutes as you sat and watched hundreds/thousands being added to your balance but now for example those 3 epic ape features, paying just (4.5xBet on 1.60e bet, 20xBet on 1.60e bet and 2xBet on 2e bet). and to rub salt in the very next spin at end of that 2e feature, the slot spat out a base game win of 2.5xBet just for a laugh and mockery.

Nobody on this forum or other forums except for a few honest people talks about the sad reality of slots and how they grind people down to nothing and take everything from them, that is the ultimate goal of slots by design, people like to talk/show about the wins they get but you won't see them talk about their losses cause most won't even track that. the fact is vast majority of spins are dead and if you add that to the losses disguised as wins you have an unbelievable high number of losing spins. The high variance slots will just have higher number of dead spins vs losses disguised as wins spins/profitable spins. And the low variance will have higher number of losses disguised as wins. See in the recent session combining the dead and disguised losses for epic ape we get 416 dead + disguised losses 31 for a total of 447 of 513 (87%) that's the reality folks. In addition to that is the numerous times you get where just one symbol away could have been a mega hit cause a missing symbol on reel 1 or 2 or 3. Usually the ape/diamond. As for Halloween Fortune 76% of the spins were losing spins (135 dead + 97 disguised losses = 232 of 304 (a whopping 76%). Triggering features can take hundreds and hundreds of spins cause designers know that once a feature is triggered the player is likely to leave the slot cause that can be considered the conclusion to the session so by not allowing the feature to be triggered it keeps the player playing there longer while being allowed to sink hundreds into it and teasing with plenty of near misses on the 5th reel in the case of slots that require to hit a symbol on 1st and 5th reel, or other slots that require three scatters you will get the double scatters sprinkled in just enough to keep you playing. And if you get lots of features you will get the low paying ones as seen in the 3 ape features paying just (4.5xBet on 1.60e bet, 20xBet on 1.60e bet and 2xBet on 2e bet). So even though the average number of spins for a feature on Epic Ape was a reasonable 171 the joke was that they paid only average of 9xBet, that is clear and utter theft. A high variance slot with very high number of dead spins then has the audacity to dish out disgustingly low paying features. Slots have changed and they have changed for the worse. What about the sessions of how a slot will play, they will play with the player not the player playing the slots its psychological, the balance was dip, then get back up close to starting point before again dropping then again go up close to starting point while carefully not going over the starting point cause the player would then consider leaving and thus less chance to fleece the player of more money. The inevitable drop occurs as the -ev takes its toll and the dead spins/losing spins come crashing down like a tonne of bricks before the balance cannot recover, the song is almost always the same. Anyway stay on the same slot for long enough and the swamp of dead spins combined with the disguised losses will take you down and swallow the balance. Some people like to talk about hit and runs where they test the waters hoping to get an early win and then run before the tsunami of dead spins/disguised wins takes over entirely as it is by design and how the slot makes its money. But the slot has something else in its arsenal it knows how to keep players stay for longer than they should and that is using the tricks put there by the designers, psychological tricks that keep players playing for longer to trap them in the swamp of dead spins/disguised wins, near misses, the sounds of disguised losses as wins, all these and more play a part in separating you from the funds that are being extracted carefully and expertly while you sit there and watch wondering or not being even aware of what's taking place. In addition to that is the trap that players don't like leaving a slot when down on it the slot so they will have one more spin and one more spin to get up a bit on the slot or try to cause that feature could be on the very next spin. Slot designers know this well so sprinkle in those near misses. No win is ever enough and no loss is horrible enough to keep players away (except for the few that manage to beat it and those that work on it and put barriers in place, set rules). /rant.

Did some further checks on the slot stats for the above session and more shocks are reveal to show how much of a scam slots really are. the 3 Epic Ape features had 7of8 dead spins, 15of18 dead spins, 7of8 dead spins. Epic Ape had 416 dead spins of 513 (81%) (dead spins does not include the spins that triggered the FSF even tho the triggers on all 3 occasions paid 0) the dead spins occurred 60 of 73 spins @ 0.80 bets (82%), 215 of 273 @ 1.60 bets (79%), 140 of 167 @ 2.00 bets (84%) Losses disguised as wins: 4 of 73 @ 0.80 bets, 22 of 273 @ 1.60 bets, 5 of 167 @ 2.00e bets combine the dead and disguised losses then we get: 64 of 73 spins @0.80 were losing spins (88%), 237 of 273 spins @1.60 were losing spins (87%), 145 of 167 spins @2.00 were losing spins (87%). equal returns: 1 of 73 spins @ 0.80 bets, 5 of 273 spins @ 1.60 bets, 4 of 167 @ 2.00 bets. profitable spins: 8 of 73 spins @ 0.80 bets (11%), 29 of 273 spins @ 1.60 bets (11%), 19 of 167 @ 2.00 bets (11%) (HBGW=Highest Base Game Win) HBGW on 0.80e = 40xBet = 32e, HBGW on 1.60e = 40xBet = 64e, HBGW on 2.00e = 18xBet = 36e ...

relapsed today after a loss at bingo, and went to lose alot on epic ape 273.45e (betting 0.80e & 1.60e & 2e) several low paying features (4.5xBet on 1.60e bet, 20xBet on 1.60e bet and 2xBet on 2e bet), and then gain of 0.60 on batman catwoman cash (betting 1e) a couple of low paying features 8xBet and and 12.6xBet, then lost alot on halloween fortune (doing 1e,then 5e and 10e bets, was going to leave this one up 10e but couldnt leave and continued with 5e and 10e bets before it dropped me by about 346.50e doing quick spins... what a relapse. all cause I was chasing a 33e loss at bingo. relapse cost me about 619.35e..... The 4 relapses that I have had since I started this thread have cost a total of 1,165.86e ... (208e {24/11}, 299e {25/11}, 39.51e {20/12}, 619.35e {28/12}). Hopefully next year won't have any relapses. down 640e for today overall, that's 64 deposits for most of you. Must be so nice to deposit 10e/10usd/10gbp and turn them into hundreds or thousands cashouts as you all so easily manage to do including accidental 5e spins, Just look at johnny and his proven system, he deposits a tenner or two every week and turns it into a couple K or more easily playing 20 hours a day on starburst and koi and any other slot he touches doing 8CAD and 10CAD bets. But the reality for most players is that they will be down many many many thousands a year playing these -EV slots that can allow players to spin at 5e/10e or higher and in a few dozens of spins be down hundreds. I won't be touching slots next year (except for maybe the occasional promo spins/free no deposits), leave it to the professionals like johnny and the other players that can stick to the 10e/20e deposits a week doing 0.20 spins), whatever you do don't raise your bets to higher than those 0.20/0.25 you will then raise it to more and more and before you know it will be 5e/10e or more. after checking on the session stats this is what is found and this is the reality not that fakeness you get from posters that boast about their slot miracles: Epic Ape 073 spins @0.80e - 11.60e RTP 80.14% 273 spins @1.60e -124.60e RTP 71.47% 167 spins @2e -137.25e RTP 58.91% total spins: 513, total staked: 829.20e, -273.45e, RTP 67.02% Batman & Catwoman Cash 58 spins @1.00e + 0.60e RTP 101.03% total spins: 58, total staked: 58e, +0.60e, RTP 101.03% Halloween Fortune 161 spins @1e -14.75e RTP 90.84% 018 spins @2e +12.00e RTP 133.33% 050 spins @5e -111.25e RTP 55.50% 075 spins @10e -232.50e RTP 69.00% total spins: 304, total staked: 1197e, -346.50e, RTP 71.05% total combined spins: 875, total staked: 2,084.20e, RTP 70.28%

had a quick look at justspin casino and it says First deposit offer only valid for new customers 18+. Min Deposit €10. Max bonus €500. 50x wagering on Bonus, 50x wagering on Free spins, game weighting applies. Max bet €3 on bonus money. General and Bonus Terms apply. so your 5e bet broke the bonus terms.

Imagine how much they would have to refund for running a faulty game if number 60 wasn't included in the RNG. I never thought about if any number is missing from those being called so I dunno how you just realised that one particular number was always missing from being called.

What's the world coming to when more and more women are ending up sad, lonely and unhappy these days, there's many things to blame for this but I am seriously considering investing in cat food companies and wine companies. Even with the existence of tinder and bumble those are just places for the pump and dump, and then you have the sugar babies and sugar daddies where rich men spend about 3K+ a month to meet some college/uni student once a week while paying for all her expenses. So even if some guy is dating a college/uni girl she can be meeting other guys on the side that are her sugar daddies.

1. congrats on managing to turn 75e into 5200e that is a lot of talent/luck you have/had there. That was all on slots? 2. were there any terms/conditions mentioned anywhere prior to starting to use the 75e cash back. Usually if its a bonus then there will be some conditions attached. 3. they could have made it max 250e cashout if they wanted to so 750e is still better than nothing and perhaps they wanted to limit the cost of retaining you as a customer. 4. ask them for some set of rules they have for cashbacks if they have any at all.. 5. reason for trying to leave SpicySpins was it cause you had lost many thousands of euros on their slots?

no more relapses, (I must make sure to keep the screen covered/and sound off when doing any free promo spins/free no deposit bonus) I didn't do that most recently and combined with the poor return from the free promo spins pushed me over to relapse. The 3 relapses that I have had since I started this thread have cost a total of 546.51e ... (208e {24/11}, 299e {25/11}, 39.51e {20/12}) enough is enough.

EXCLUSIVE: Crown Casino exposed. S.E.X trafficking, drugs, money laundering | 60 Minutes Australia this is from 4 months ago but still interesting to see how some casinos operate. among the many shocking revelations it also mentions how the Chinese high rollers would lose around $10 million dollars in just 15 minutes in some cases. (that would probably be on super high stakes baccarat).

RELAPSED ! I really thought I was done with slots for good but the barrage of free promo spins and free bonuses and a very poor payout caused me to have a relapse today, (it was mostly the poor payout from the 25 free promo spins) I had been offered 25 promo spins (previously it was 50 tho) and this time I could use it on a slot I hadn't played before (AOTG: Epic Troy {TRTP 96.45%}) so I thought I will just play the free spins and be done with it but after the free promo spins were done I was so disgusted/disappointed with the slot that it had only given a 18.6% RTP, 0.93 return of 5e staked, without any features seen so then after taking some time to think I relapsed and used my own cash to spin on the slot at the lowest stake cause I had no confidence in the slot so 20cent spins only, goal was to just get any feature and be done with it or so I thought. so on 6th spin (using cash) I get a 2.02e win base game hit (10.1xBet), that would end up being the highest base game win of the entire 354 spin session! on 11th spin (using cash) I get a free spin feature (landing 3 golden shields to trigger it) it paid a total of 1.76e (8.8xBet) disappointing! could have stopped here but I wanted to see if there is any potential of this slot so played on. was +1.88e at this point, RTP 185.45% (while using cash) on 24th spin (using cash) I get a 2nd free spin feature (landing 3 golden shields to trigger it) it paid just 0.50 (2.5xBet) very disappointing! but still played on. Could not believe this slot was giving such ***** features. was +0.18e at this point, RTP 103.75% (while using cash) on 119th spin (using cash) I get a 3rd free spin feature (landing 3 golden shields to trigger it) it paid just 0.30 (1.5xBet) super disappointing! but still played on! there was a respin feature I wanted to see get triggered! was -14.34e at this point, RTP 39.75% (while using cash) on 188th spin (using cash) I get a 4th free spin feature (landing 3 golden shields to trigger it) it paid just 0.80 (4xBet) again disappointing! but still played on! still wanted to see that respin feature get triggered! I was convinced the design was faulty for it to tease so many times for the respin feature (you need to land two stacks of the same premium symbol) was -23.99e at this point, RTP 36.20% (while using cash) on 329th spin (using cash) I get the respin feature (landing the paris respins) it paid 4.00 (20xBet) disappointing! now that I had seen all the features I was finally done with this horrible slot, how is this slot a 96.45% RTP (includes 0.99% for the JP) During the session there were multiple jackpots going off to random lucky players 285e, 188e, 297e, 232e, as well as the extra power of 3394e went off too. at end of the session was -39.51e, RTP 39.95% (staked 65.80e)(while using cash). if including the 25 free promo spins then its a result of -43.58e , total staked 70.80e, RTP 38.44%. had I not relapsed and left it at end of the 25 promo spins would have been up 0.93e but at end of the relapse result was -38.58e thus relapse cost was 39.51e. some mind boggling session stats: there were 252 dead spins (about 71%) during the 354 spins (18/25 in promo spins and 234/329 in paid spins) there were 74 losses disguised as wins (about 21%) during the 354 spins. (6/25 in promo spins and 68/329 in paid spins) total of 326 losing spins of 354 (92%). <- that's crazy! (24/25 in promo spins and 302/329 in paid spins) total of just 28 winning spins (7.9%). <- super low! (1/25 in promo spins and 27/329 in paid spins) longest streak of losing spins was 42 ! <- how can this be legal? (during those 42 spins a drop of 7.73e, RTP 7.98%) longest streak of dead spins was 13. This is another lame playtake release. My advice is to stay away from it. Clearly one of playtechs worst releases. They should be ashamed. P.S. after being robbed like that, I regained my composure and settled into a blackjack session and was able to recoup the slot loss plus some extra.

yes very poor advert and they managed to even be included in the mr green casino review at askgamblers by having the 15K hostage complaint show up at 2:35 !

it slots in so perfectly and should be like this right?

what I find strange is how big the gap is between the 1 and 0 in the 710.76 pic.
