Is it luck?
Every slot player knows what “that certain feeling” means. It’s that itch, that tingle, that gnawing at the back of your mind or hand, that “absolutely” indicates that this slot machine is about to pay! We’ve all had that feeling. Walking into a casino we are suddenly and mysteriously drawn to a particular machine, or a particular kind of machine, hearing the ringing and seeing the jackpot even as we reach for the money to put in the slot.
Are such “mysterious” or “psychic” moments real, or is this just a coincidence - the kind of “blind luck” which strikes some of us while leaving most of us untouched? I confess that I’ve had such feelings myself. I’ve even acted on them. I’ve seen other people act on them. Did I win? No. Did they win? Sometimes. Was it because of “that certain feeling”? Realistically, no. Was it just a sudden strike of pure luck? Mostly yes.
So, my friends ask me, how do you win? Is it luck? Sure, I am lucky, sometimes. But mostly it is knowledge, patience, bankroll, selection, discipline, and win goal - the Keys to Winning. Put all those together, and apply them correctly, and you become lucky. At least that’s what people will say when they watch you hit the jackpot and wonder how you did it, or how you can do it that often.
