14.01.2022 Gambling systems and superstitions Gambling is, by its very definition, a random event. Yet, many gamblers firmly believe that they can devise a system to win at gambling. This includes trying to predict patterns in random numbers (there are none), trying to select hot slot machines and avoid cold ones (e.g., continuing to play a machine because it is hot; playing a machine that hasnt paid off in a long time, thinking its due)
12.01.2022 Some machines are due to pay Poker machines are designed to pay out randomly. They follow no set pattern and there is no way to predict the outcome of the game. There is no technique, no combination of button pushes, and no change in the amount you bet that will change that.
