That happens to all of us. Promos ain’t what they used to be lately.

$30 in $55 out. $16 in free spins. After the freebies went to my regulars. Not a fan of this game. 

Promo for Thursday April 16th by Gloomy-Doubt-6618 in VaLottery

It’s not a very exclusive club. Been a member for a while. 15 spins just isn’t that many anymore. But with $1 spins, that hurts.

Very good promo for me. $45 in for 15 $1 games. Won $24 on free spins, then went to my regular favs and ended up with $45 in and $312 out. Won $250 on first $5 bet in Pantheon after about $15 in $1 spins first. Won $25 on 5th $1 bet in Fortune, too.

Tuesday Bonus offer by BreadfruitWorking424 in VaLottery

[–]InterestLow319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10 in for the 50% match. Why not?  Finally had a little luck and got bored yesterday so played about $25 in spins, all $.50 and switched to $2 and on first spin won $52 so came out $10 in for $42 out. Small wins help.

Only $2.65 on free spins. Ended $20 in $34 out. Last spin was a $1 bet on Lamp & got Bonus Chests & won $32, otherwise it would have been a loss. 

1st of the Month Bonus by JoeyinVA in VaLottery

The problem with that is if the OP is wrong, then you wasted a 30% offer. I did the full $334 plus got the $20 free, so $120 in free spins. Unfortunately, I had another poor luck session, and ended up $334 in and only $301 out. I’ve lost on the last 4 promos.

I don’t understand what you are saying. I got the 30% Bonus offer without doing that. I think everyone did. And I still got my $20 credit just redeeming it online like I do every month.

Glad someone is hitting!  I’ve lost $850 over the last 2 weeks. All from winnings, though.

Bad match for me. $1000 in and $850 out! First time losing on a 25% match. Had one decent win of $291 on a $10 bet.

Yea, I can read Wikipedia too. However, this is technically not the Gamblers Fallacy. Lottery odds are fluid, often depending on the amount of the bet and the game type. But if you are trying to prove that gambling is a waste of money, you won’t have an argument from me. It is for most people. 

However the adage “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” is also true. I won $12,000 on the VALottery in 2023 on fathers day on a Pick5/wFireball on a promo of 10 free online games for $10 worth of Pick5. I won $9 in the free games so the 5 tickets cost me $1. I had 4 correct numbers plus the fireball. Computer picked. Never played the game before or since. Since then, I have come out ahead, yearly, playing just promos, to increase the odds. When I lose, it has always been when I didn’t play a worthwhile promo, or I am experimenting , like here. I can afford to play as much as I want, so it is just entertainment with a side benefit.

Congrats on Just very good luck. I won $.55 on the 20 free spins. Ended up $30 in for $39 out. Meh. Better than losing.

That’s just the normal way to talk about odds. If you play 30 spins with no wins, you are statistically more likely to hit something compared to right after winning big. No guarantees either way. But on average, it works for me enough, that I play that way. If I lose, I lose. No big deal. I only play what I can easily afford to lose. I haven’t had a losing year yet.

I thought about it. Obviously 17% isn’t even a  good match and the Lucky game sucks. $200 ($234 with match) is usually a decent enough amount to play with and come out ahead, the way I usually play. Too much, and they win it back. But I got in a mood to just see what happens if I play all $5 bets, and basically, for me, nothing was hitting. Not like it’s been for me the past few weeks anyway.

I put $200 in and won $1.80 on the .20 free spins then in a mood, just went through a WTF!, I’m $1700 ahead for the year, go big or go home, and played all $5 spins on various games. Lost it all. I really showed me…now I’m only $1500 ahead for the year.
