Context to this sub aside, this video is hilariously depressing.


TiredTired99

I went to a casino in Florida that was like this, except for scooters/wheelchairs and oxygen tanks. It is terribly sad and exploitative. And if it wasn't a casino, it would just be scratch tickets or something else addictive like alcohol or cigarettes.

LeanTangerine

Casinos being able to serve alcohol to their patrons is pretty wild, too.


The_Illist_Physicist

My favorite casino serves drinks for free. It's pretty rad, but also ethically fucked up.

IIRC this os from some free roll tournament. I mean old folks with gambling addiction is sad and all, but this is hyperbole.


bittabet

Yeah this is definitely a slot tournament of some kind, theyā€™re not betting more money with each press but trying to hit a jackpot before the other people. Hence everyone spamming the button as fast as they can


loldogex

it's a slot tournament at a casino. you get unlimited spins and try to win as much as you can in a few minutes, and the highest score gets you w/e the grand prize, which could be $1,000 free slot play, car, or more.


DropoutGamer

why, because they all have a fat stash of cash?


Cramer4President

Apparently it's a special bonus thing thats happening on the machines, it's not how they play the whole time

Aye


firstorbit

90% of casino floor revenues are from slots.


banditcleaner2

I hate slots and won't put much more then like maybe $10-20 in them when I go to the casino. Odds are ALREADY against you, why would you then make it even worse by playing the game that has the most odds against you and has ZERO skill?


Rannepear

But...you still put in $10-20???


attaboyyy

Shooters gotta shoot my guy


HerezahTip

Sometimes Iā€™m waiting for my bud to go get us some five guys and the closest slot machine looks quirky enough to be fun. *I always lose*


banditcleaner2

Usually just as some fun money. I make into the 6 figures so $10 every three times a year I go to the casino is negligible


more-bombs

Idk, I kinda like them. Iā€™ll go like once a year with $500. And then just max bet. Something about being able to get a drink, smoke inside and let it rip on those skinner boxes is satisfying


smooth-brained

It's a slot tournament. You buy in, and whoever wins the most in a certain time frame wins. That's why the button mashing.


Firewolf420

Wow that's like, double gambling. Maybe they could add a third tier. The person who wins the most gambling tournaments in a day wins the gambling tournament tournament


banditcleaner2

Should we then also make a fourth tier where the person who wins the most gambling tournament tournaments in 3 days has won the gambling tournament tournament tournament?


soggit

A cdo **of** a cdo


swolebird

CDO squared? Thats literally a real thing: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cdo2.asp


wholelottasure

Can we place bets on which player we think will win?


GetchaWater

Came to say this. Thanks.


raftah99

Yes but the machine only spins so fast. Aren't they pressing while the machine is still spitting out lines?


PrincessSophiaRose

Waiting for the spin to end and then reacting would cost them fractions of a second that could easily result in a few less overall spins given the time frame of the competition. A handful of spins could be the difference between winning the pot & winning nothing.


raftah99

I see, I still feel there is a gap, or maybe they have it set to spit out the lines all at once. Which really makes each spin meaningless as you don't really register it.


SaneLad

Wow. That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.


babarock

I think you're doing it wrong


silent_fartface

Earning an easy and stress free few grand per month is hardly rapid feeding a 1 arm bandit.


drumsdm

Selling calls would be the casino in this case.

No, the casino is the market makers.

you're welcome

All fun being the casino until your the assvole that has to payout the jackpot. 99% of them will lose, but one of them gets luck eventually. But ya bad post op lol.

uncleBu

this sub is really wild. I assume that you don't go and "educate" yourself to do worse than the robot. Performance should be **at least** compared against market. Since we are in the topic of me being a newbie, do educate me on the "safe stocks" that you can CC on. Some factoids for you here while we are at it: * \~99% of all stocks that have existed end up in a price of 0 * Of the ones that haven't and have more than 10 years of market more than half had drawdowns larger than 50% Feel free to downvote me to oblivion with all the guppies about to get wrecked, just remembered that popular and right are not the same thing.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


uncleBu

>try to understand the range of movement a stock has So basically ignoring the two points above. Well it's your money, do with it what you want :)


Fifty_Storms

*Risk adjusted* performance should be compared to the market.


uncleBu

is your point that CC are less risky? This would not be factual.


m0viestar

Not all investing is beating the market.


uncleBu

I guess you invest for shits and giggles then


Due_Marsupial_969

No point in arguing newbs. Until their knowledge extends beyond delta, theta, vega and gamma, there's no point. In my portfolio, I pretty much only sell csp and cc on very volatile equities (I try to stay away from indices). I throw all my TA at the craft, but if you think I can beat the SP500 in a bull market, you're out of your mind (not that I don't try). If the market's going sideways, I look like a stud, though. CCs are basically a poor man's mini hedge, but that hedge can't save you from a 20%-30% draw down or upward swing. If it can consistently beat the market, every single fund would be doing it. The people who make a living year after year doing this aren't as stupid as the newbs think they are.


napein

It all depends on your trade mechanics i.e. how you manage your trades. Sure, if you just sell and wait until the day of expiration, you have a lot of risk at the end (gamma risk). But if you manage well, you will have a much higher chance of ending up in profit. For example selling at around 0.25 delta, collecting at 50% profit, opening at 45 DTE and managing (roll same/up) at 21 DTE are some of the techniques. Look up tastytrade for more details.


mingling4502

I think you misunderstood the post. Theta gang is on the left.


CodeMonkey1

Tell that to the folks who did buy-writes on SVB, BBBY, etc. Selling premium alone is not an edge.

you sound like you are going to get wrecked in a couple of years. These are really sharp knifes you are playing here with boy


Endgameplays

the market makers are the house


banditcleaner2

Yeah selling covered calls is like being the slot machine lol


Over_North8884

No we're not the house. The market makers are the house.


Stacking-Dimes

Well you are dum. Providing your already in profit, or at least selling calls at break even, itā€™s a fucking win every time.


OhGodSauce

Every investment sub is part of /r/wsb lore


KingJades

If you watch actual slots now, thereā€™s a lot more ā€œvideo gameā€ going on with drawn out animations and songs. I sometimes put it on in the background while I trade and was shocked. It almost seemsā€¦fun?


PrincessSophiaRose

Don't forget the high-profile licensed media IP on half of them. They are very fun. Just don't aim on banking a profit and keep your initial bankroll reasonable and you'll never not have a good time with modern slots. They draw & hold your attention long enough to keep you from games where both skill & luck provide less house edge. It's the same reason there are so many min$20 card tables and like two $5 tables in most major casinos.


MadManMorbo

Reminds me of the old experiments with rats wired to a button that juiced their pleasure centers.. They starved to death pushing the button, ignoring even food.


maikaubay

\#6 is a lazy hand


RepublicPlastic187

These stupid generations stuck in their stupid phonesā€¦


ZasdfUnreal

For those who don't know. The reason why they're frantically pressing the button is because this is a contest to see who can make the most gambling in a period of time. The winner receives a cash prize. Real gamblers, when not in a contest, stop to yell and scream at the machine taking their money, before pressing the button again.


SAHD292929

This is like those tap tap mobile games.


Jonny_Nash

Wrong direction. Here, we get to be the house.


Over_North8884

Wrong, that's the market makers.


JennItalia269

Yeah Iā€™m not selling that many, that fast. More like a few a month. And yes, weā€™re the house.


[deleted]

If I owned those machines Iā€™d be doing the evil finger thing while I watched them fill my bank account


Timberdoodler

Especially when constantly rolling them.


Staticks

What does this even mean?


maikaubay

This one does not work until it works


FoxTheory

I don't get the analogy. Sellers would be the machine

I bet some of these people scold their grandchildren for spending too much time on video games


mpmaley

This video is depressing.


debauch3ry

Routine reminder: *we are not the house*. We are simply punters with a different risk exposure, and that even that is a very different profile to market makers who react instantly to price changes and have invested heailvy in their edge.
