Off topic & small talk: Nagging Corner (Page 107)

I once knew a gambler who gambled away her pension every month after just a few days, gambled away at least three houses in her life and also pulled the money out of her hard-working husband. Was with the in sum about 8,000 €, which has gambled away every month anew. But when she went shopping, she always had discount vouchers with her and often she even visited different stores because the noodles were 10 cents cheaper than in the other supermarket, and so on.

Could already determine such a behavior with several players that they know no limits when playing, but were otherwise totally thrifty and have paid attention to every penny. Whereby thrifty is probably the wrong word here.

I don't want to put this on you and I don't know your gambling behavior. But I would be interested why you collect bottles for 5 € a month, but still gambles in casinos. The logic I just can not understand, because somewhere is a totally contradictory behavior.

I can well understand that this sounds contradictory at first and perhaps also second glance What is in any case crystal clear: the collected earnings are in no way related to my gambling. Neither anything is refinanced nor balanced and I don't take the cans home with me, so that I can at least make myself a toast with Scheibli cheese, because all other financial means are blocked by the casino or even gone In general, I don't consider myself stingy, but price-conscious. I always afford what I need and never try to act disproportionately. Not in either direction. But I can only spend the money I have and if I have an extra 5 thanks to the bottles, it's an insignificant little thing in the end, but a fiver is a fiver I really enjoy taking 0.08 glass bottles to the supermarket every now and then and picking up a lousy voucher for 1.12€. But: if I am somewhere in the pub, one sinks until morning and there is now 100€ on the lid, then that's just the way it is. No thing...has made yes fun, head tight and was worth it to me. I also go on vacation three or four times a year....rather cheap, but I drive. By the way, the Deposit doesn't help me either

Now to get back on track with the gambling, which is actually why we're here. There, too, I would consider myself to be very conservative in order to get the best possible results for myself. Actually, I'm much more meticulous and controlled than in real life. I always try to create the best conditions: whether it is to enter only at good and suitable for me Bonuses, to choose the balance always adapted stakes, to select the wager appropriate games, etc.. What is at the top of the agenda: capital preservation. I see every deposit at a casino as a new project and my goal is always 100%. When the bet is doubled, I pay out. From 100 I try to make 200, from 150 I try to make 300. If I notice that it's getting hard or something about the gameplay/machines bothers me, I pay out with less sometimes. Alternatively, the balance breaks and I look for something new. If I pay out somewhere with doubler, I can then start two new projects somewhere else with 100% again and start all over again. There is rarely a day when I don't gamble in the evening (during the day not at all) and I consider this conservative way of playing a sustainable concept: I started with OC's - after I gambled way too much in a former life 20 years ago - only in 2020 again, have been consistently in the plus for two years and that not only in total, but also now in the 7th quarter in a row. The situation is similar in the sports betting sector: there, too, I have built up my own little strategy that yields small wins and, thanks to Risk diversification, cannot or at least should not lead to high or even uncontrolled losses. Uff...Novel finished Now I'm sure some people were bored...I didn't want to go that far, but sometimes it's not wrong to write down your thoughts.

Ok, I see, that is then also something completely different than those in my examples. For you it is just a hobby to collect the Deposit bottles. And at least it makes the streets cleaner.


I envy you a little bit, because of your controlled gambling behavior. I can't do that, unfortunately. When I play, I'm usually completely hung up and I always want to reach a certain goal. Most of the time it's between €1,300 and €1,500 and if I don't reach that, then I usually gamble away the entire balance again.

Do then usually too many and too high bonus buys and if I was for example already on 800, then I can not pay out 400 more. Only after playing I realize how stupid this actually is, but while playing I'm in a movie.

That's why I'm trying to stop completely and except for a few minor setbacks, it's working to some extent. But I want to get away from it completely because, as I said, it can get pretty out of hand. The first hour, the game is usually still fun, but after a longer session, you actually have no more desire, but then continues to play anyway, because you just want to have so or so much, and so on.

Yes, my gaming behavior is already questionable, so quitting is the only option for me. But when shopping, at least I don't care about the price of noodles.

"Wins can only be transferred after 60 minutes for legal reasons"

This comes when I want to withdraw my money
I played and won at Bet at Home.

No, that's why I explicitly wrote payout . I did not want to make a credit transfer, but only the money what I won in the slot area pay out. I had also deposited directly into the slot area. And under the conditions this regulation is simply absolute garbage. Who knows who in the regulatory authority has been too close with the head on the hot stove....

I had another withdrawal at Lapalingo the other day, it was instant.
Is this really a regulation? 60 minutes can be very long for ne payout. Since you could also become weak and play a little further... Just a thought 😇
