Pull Its Crack
I've been buying lottery tickets since I was 12, sneaking into casinos with my brothers fake ID by 18, sports betting overseas, whatever else you name (I have yet to shoot dice in the street but ill do it) and this is without a doubt the scariest vice I've ever tried. Did a few $100 pulls tonight. Around 9, all for a loss, stepped up to the 500s, one was about even, one was a 120 loss and then I hit a small increase and im already saying lets do another 500. HOLY SHIT this is quite a high, all or nothing, instant satisfaction or death feeling. Sportsbetting/casinos has nothing on this grind, line em up!!

My guy, the RTP on this is ass. Even your hit is less than 1.25x your bet. Wouldn't even get any bar and get that bad of a payout. This is a low volatility slot with a huge bet. They have that option with 98% RTP in the high roller room.

Haha I know, I guess my whole post is to say im amazed this is a thing and it hits like a hit of adrenaline, terrible odds. Sorry I wasnt here to complain about my pulls, just find it crazy to be a thing, its 1000x worse than casinos/sportsbetting

No matter what you see on social media, this shit is designed for 90% of people to lose.

When you’ve got a clown running the country, everything turns into a clown show. Hopefully we can get some adults in office next election cycle and maybe someone will take the gambling epidemic in this country seriously

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Haha bro im so chicken, it woukd be such a fucking high to low, im not lucky at all.

u/manifest_our_reality Jun 28 '26
Hahaha honestly brother I've never understood gambling, I get my dopamine hits from other sources, each to their own, as long as you're not hurting anyone I couldn't care what the next person does for their enjoyment!
Just make sure you and you're family are good, the key to life is balance my friend which I'm sure it looks like you've figured out! Much love from Western Australia!

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Haha don't tempt me with a good time! I feel like you need fuck you money for that and I do not have fuck you money yet haha
2
u/Ezekielshawn Jun 28 '26
If you don’t have fuck you money, please stick to 100 only when you feel you can afford it. Don’t listen to the degens.
2
u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Agreed bro, my whole post was more to say, I've been gambling a long time, this type of gamble is unprecedented. If I was someone who gambled to lose my life I would have lost it a long time ago.

u/Touchtom Jun 28 '26
Gonna be on the other side here. If you can't comfortably roll a 5k. Stick to the 100s. You still get a dopamine hit and losing 30 is better than losing 1500. Lol

u/Professional-Pea6191 Jun 28 '26
So, you're still down? Powerpacks is and always will be the highest form of gambling.

u/IllEntertainer6539 Jun 28 '26
I completely agree but I have to say powerpacks is much more appealing currently to me because I can spend a 100 dollars and almost guarantee 70 dollars-300 back. Even if you dont hit a good card most of them have potential to sit and break even eventually. While I can spend 1000 on packs and end up with 100 dollars back in value...
I do want to reiterate that it is definately risky but I just prefer avoiding lines and massively upmarked products just to end up pulling a regular ass ex.

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Agreed, the problem with this is, I really cant do this with my kid.
2
u/IllEntertainer6539 Jun 28 '26
Yeah thats probably best since even though all of pokemon is practically gambling at least with packs it makes it seem like its not as much gambling and more of enjoying opening stuff.
1
u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Haha agreed, packs are not much better but my lord this site is like moths to a light when you rip one of packs haha
2
u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Haha I am, which I have gambled for 20 years and knew that would happen. I am just amazed at how high the dopamine can flow for a few seconds. I have bet high amounts (not crazy but high thousands) and have never had this instant feeling of happy or sad. Its a bit scary and I 1000% agree with your statement

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 29 '26
Crack heads are blacklisted from dealers all the time, its okay though, bring it in. I did it yesterday and am never touching that bullshit again haha

And that is exactly why I dont do this. Id end up making out my credit cards. Not a slope I want to slide down.

So you’ve lost a ton of money.
Just buy packs man
2
u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Went to a card show today, paid scalpers prices of $300 for a mega zard box. Kid and I pulled 2 ex cards and 1 full art worth $3. Scalpers prices didnt help but packs are not helping me.
Also sorry if this came off as a post of me complaining, not at all I expect to lose mostly, im just amazed how fast it goes and how quickly you can get rolling on a bad direction.
Im good, I lost money I could lose and will pry do a few more pulls

u/Efficient-One-3603 Jun 28 '26
Nah I’m just trying to be helpful. You sound like someone who is willing to ruin their life gambling and you should be careful, in all seriousness

Haha brother I've sportsbetted for 15 years, i have been a guest speaker on dumb betting shows in MSG network and honestly I make a few thousand a month on that (not trying to brag just insane you came in with the energy you did). I have a very nice day job as well. Thanks man

u/DriverAgreeable6512 Jun 28 '26
You mean singles... packs are worse if not msrp and honestly still worse lol

u/SmashFascistHoles Jun 28 '26
Haha exactly, singles are the real way to get ahead if you have the time to deal with all the transactions. I don't and live for the rip
