What are your gambling goals for 2021?

[cocopop3011]

Last year was probably the least I have ever played in the last 8 years or so. There are a few reasons why which include time and lack of finances. Not sure what my plans are for this year yet. We're in another full lockdown here at the moment and the schools have closed yet again. My father is recovering from Covid right now and I don't think I have any plans to play in at least the first quarter of the year, which may even be how long the schools are closed and not a lot of money coming into the house right now. 

But, who knows what will happen over the coming months. 

Tell me what your plans are in terms of gambling this year...

I look to recover my losses that i incurred last year plus fulfil my great plan of going from 200 to 10000 eurm. I know this is every gamblers mindsight to win back losses but I am not driven by it. Its just I plan to recover my losses with a 200 euro deoposit and if I win I gradually plan to take bigger and bigger deposit bonuses. Starting from 100% upto 200 to 100% upto 4000 (which possibly leads to a 10000 eur cashout). If i lose the starting 200 or lose it in later stages, I will stop. No more gambling for rest month and start next month with 200 euro deposit again.

Looking back in retrospect, the new decade of 2020 brought in new realities in this iGaming realm that we all play and live in. Slot games that we knew so well have become strangers to us...they are behaving very differently now than how we knew them before. Those occasional lovely short walks to the park have almost totally disappeared...the parks have been shifted much farther away from us now, at least twice as far away, from what I have seen and documented from my few regularly played favourite games. Within the parks itself, the usual attractions have been worn down dramatically, so much so that it is even becoming a chore just to enjoy oneself in the park itself!

In short, the new decade has shown that going to any park (feature game) needs a longer stroll to get there, but once you're there, there can be no guarantees of getting a good time either. The Covid syndrome has penetrated the parks, so everyone and everything are kept distanced away, and so is the fun!

By the end of 2020, I have cut my slotting casinos to just one casino, from about 50 in my list. All European casinos are now out...no more depositing money to play...intermittent play is only when no-deposit free spins are given, or no play at all...thanks partly to the Gambling Authorities who had recently made ewallets almost impossible to be used for gambling.

The one and only Asian casino is still active for me in this 2nd year of the new decade, but I'm determined to see that 2021 would be the final year that any casino remains in my list. Breaking my 25-years slotting habit is proving to be very difficult indeed, but closing that final door is within my sight...the problem remains in making that one small step at a time to that door...but goddamnit...I will make it there!

Aaaah...turning a dream you had recently into a reality is now your target for 2021...may need Divine intervention to get it, but it's not impossible.

The way I see how slot games are behaving lately, the way ahead may indeed be fogged...so take cautions and stride one small step at a time...like I'm doing now, hehehe. And Good luck!

You WILL Afi! Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

And yeah I completely get what you mean. For old-timers slots will never be the same. For everyone just starting out I guess they're still pretty awesome because that's all they know. Maybe we shouldn't have started playing so long ago

Thanks for your positive thoughts my dear, and I too am determined to break this slotting habit for good one of these days.

Sometimes when my mind flashed back to those days when I first saw those one-arm bandit and those penny coin-drop machines, I really wondered if things could have gone differently for me. In truth, I think it would not, simply because of my nature, tending to be so  obsessed with certain matters that interest me a lot, and this interest could fade away in time but never really leave me. Photography and travelling are two other things that got me so obsessed before but both are still deep-rooted in my heart even now. What do change is the situation and circumstances over time, which then affects how I would tackle them one at a time.

Honestly speaking, I simply love playing slots! But when these games are becoming hungry predators like nowadays, I just have to avoid them. If they could ever revert back to like being in those good old days, then I know that I would start playing them all over again!

Some things change...some things don't...my way of life.

I will @cocopop3011 The first attempt this year will begin in next few days.

My 2021 gambling plans in short: 

1/ To find time for gambling at all! 

[coders style] If plan #1=true then proceed with 2/ To test as many new slots as possible and hopefully find great new suggestions that would fit my high-variance gambling soul! 

[coders style] If plan#1 & plan#2 = true then proceed with 3/ To go back on the winning road and finish 2021 with with a hefty 10-15K profit instead of the $4K loss from 2020.

Best of luck!!!

I gotcha Afi - when I like something I obsess over it too so I totally get what you mean. Oh boy,  if slots played like they used to I think we'd all be in trouble
