Have you ever walked away right before hitting a big win?

I was about to leave a blackjack table and the dealer hit a blackjack for me… felt like the casino was trolling me. Anyone else had this kind of luck?

I wouldn't know as I walked away. For me that means no more pressed on slots and no more hands, spins of wheels etc. I dont even watch how it would have played out.

A BJ will happen once in about 20 hands. It's not unusual.

But I had some golden chips to wager and chose Quantum boost roulette*1000. On this game I always include single zero, except if I only have exactly 8 GCs left then I do lucky 8. I had over 200 chips to wager at 20 a time, got no boosted and very few normal hits. On the last round I had 8 chips exactly left. Chose lucky 8, 0 was not included, it was x1000 boosted and landed. Any earlier round I'd have won.

That was a kick in the teeth.

Totally get that! Sometimes walking away is the smartest move—avoids the frustration of ‘what if’ moments, even if you never know how close you were.

Exactly! The odds are what they are, but it still feels like trolling when it hits right after you leave. Blackjack really knows how to mess with your timing .

Oof, that’s brutal . Seems like the universe has a funny sense of timing—Quantum Boost roulette clearly loves drama. At least it makes for a memorable story!

My second ex-wife

Her dad was stood in a queue of people at a One Stop shop in his home town - was going to buy a lucky dip for the Euromillions. He was fishing around in his pocket and let someone go infront of him, who just asked for one lucky dip on the euros. That person won £140million from that ticket.

He is still sick about it to this day. I take great pleasure in reminding him whenever I see him as it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

That there is some serious Karma in play @andysbetting1187 or just unreal bad luck. I personally would not want to know, if the person I let go in front of me ended up winning the jackpot. Gutting!

100% - I was made up due to what was going on at the time - won't go into the details but it was 100% karmic retribution lol

That there are levels and this is a level that doubtless anyone will ever eclipse LOL

Means nothing - those RNG lottery machines churn through millions of combinations each minute, the bloke who thinks he missed out would have had to get his ticket generated in EXACTLY the same millisecond the winner did. Which is vanishingly unlikely. Sadly no karmic retribution, but no harm in you encouraging him to believe it if it needles him lol..

I think he believes that the winning combo was fixed, stuck there ready for the next ticket buyer. It wasn't.

Now had he been in the queue for say a Monopoly scratchcard or something and the bloke let in front bought the next one off the roll which was a £1m winner say, that WOULD have been a definite miss-out!

 

[Webzcas]

Yeah you are right Dunover, but to let the person who won the jackpot to take your place, That is going to mess with one's head regardless. As said, I would not want to know.

I agree 100% mate - but it's still funny to (at least to me lol)

Oh come on, it made a great yarn at least!

Anyway I have it on good authority that lottery machines are feed a whole series of number each week. People who buy tickets at a particular store can only be allocated from the numbers supplied to that terminal that week, and the numbers are given in sequence. When not enough tickets are purchased from a terminal in a week, and that terminal was feed the winning numbers, that’s how you get rollover jackpots. It really couldn’t work any other way.

I wouldn't know because as soon as I've ran out of money or decided that's enough I've closed the game window.
