I don't think making x10 feel easier to many gamblers. Those who have luck can get it while the rest will not get anything except loss. I don't know if there is a psychological trick but slots are very tempting and could make it difficult to stop. Playing slots games relies on luck so it's difficult to win much or even for small wins. That could also be the same as in sports betting because we may see a change in the match in the middle.
I think since slots are largely dependent on game of luck, I will always maximize my profits to target x10 so that when I'm winning, I will win big and when I'm losing, I will lose with the funds I have used to enter the gain which should usually be from my discretionary funds and nothing outside. What I've been trying to practice lately is financial discipline and management and I now have an account I send money to that is placed on a POSTNODEBIT, an instruction I ordered the banks to carry out myself. This account does not do anything but to save money for me and I cannot access it to debit from it, I can only credit the acct. So that I don't use all my discretionary incomes to play slots and other lifestyle expenses.
