How to Resist the Urge to Chase Losses on Slot Machines?

Question

What can I do to avoid chasing losses when playing slot machines?

Answer 1

To resist the urge to chase losses on slot machines, set clear boundaries for yourself and stick to them. Cash out your winnings regularly, and don't let the excitement of the game or the design of the machine tempt you into playing more than you intended. Being disciplined and walking away when you're ahead is key to avoiding the trap of chasing losses.

I certainly would have more money in my pocket if I got up after a decent win instead I tend to give it all back! I’ll definitely try your tips next time I gamble! Thanks

One thing I find myself doing, is cashing out at an even number, say 213 dollars to 200. Or if suddenly the payout shows 187 dollars, you say if I can bring it back to 200, I'll stop. Before you know it, you're down to 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very hard to have limits!  You are there to play but we need to be satisfied with the little wins!   They do add up.  I do agree with this video and the methods that are described!  Self control is difficult

That’s exactly what I do when I turn my FreePlay into Cash every time I get a payback I cash it out and put the ticket up and then add it up later I need start doing it with cash
