My friend is addicted to slots and curbs his addiction by watching those vids. I dont think it helps. It's pathetic to search for success stories on youtube so as to build up your hopes of winning



I’m shaming them, thanks tho

Today was a nice set of wins
I put a buck in and got 12.50 off the first spin
So I took it out and bought lunch
And now (didn’t order dinner yet)
Buck and nickel spins
I’m up to 5$ :D

dont listen to all these failures, spend money on entertainment as you wish. Their lack of self-control isn't yours, and it sounds like you spend very little on this vice and get a good amount of pleasure out of it, that makes it an efficient form of entertainment to invest in.

it's simple logic and you can use it to justify and expenditure which results in pleasure. Like anything, it's only a problem if you let it get out of control. OP seems to be spending little on it and that's fine. If you don't agree you must thing spending money on any kind of entertainment is bad, pirate all your games/music/movies/etc. like a parasite. Gambling is nothing special.

i was just messing around a bit. i agree gambling is just like any other entertainment or hobby thing. though gambling has a taboo (where i live at least) cause of the many people who cant handle it well
