Ok, let me get one thing straight, you're probably not going to win on slots. You may at some point, some days, some weeks, but not always, not 'on average' and not in a million years going to make a living doing it. But you could. Possibly. Although it's very very unlikely.
Why? Because you're enjoying the process more than the result. Because you're a rat in a cage and you want to get more sugar and you don't see outside the cage. Because you are, basically, releasing too many damned endorphins for your own good, except that's why you're there and that's what you want. Except you don't really. But you do when you're there pressing the buttons.
Why? Because you're at the casino and you're totally immersed in the fantasy world you've created for that moment in time and you don't have any kids, parents, work, school or money issues, you aren't hungry, thirsty or desperate for the restroom, you aren't about to go to a meeting or see a show or pick up a date or get on a plane or go to bed. Not currently. You're in a world of your own and you are currently loving it, even if you're losing (as long as you still have money left in your wallet).
Why? Because you are an optimist and you think the next time you hit that button the screen is going to be filled with lots and lots of whatever-it-is you need it to be filled with, and there will be flashing lights and music and your heart will warm to the spirit of the universe and everything will be wonderful. And it might happen. Really, it might. Sometimes it does. You know its true because its happened to you before. So you know it could happen again. Soon. Really, very soon. On this next spin...bugger...next one...bugger...next one...ooh, so close, must be the next one...
Now, slowly, I'm going to tell you how you can and (unless you're stupidly rich) should, change that!
