How to hit the $ 1.5 billion jackpot?
"Secret" strategies for making money in casinos are mostly developed ... by the owners of these very casinos. Try to cheat a gambling establishment, relying on statistical laws, - a bad job.
It is much more productive to treat the game as a game, not expecting manna from heaven and not turning it into an investment.
However, one pattern still exists. Jackpots drop by, who deserves them the least. The biggest winnings go to those, who has never dealt with such fabulous sums, and therefore is simply not able to preserve and increase them.
The more we crave to win, the less we leave ourselves a chance to win. Luck will never come to that, who lusts her. With much more eagerness she will stick to that, who never dreamed of her.
That is why only people with a clearly fragile psyche - adolescents or pathological gambling addicts - can bother about winning the jackpot and even more seriously count on winning a billion dollars ...
Adults and successful people usually bypass such establishments or risk money., which are specially allocated for these purposes and are not a pity to lose.
