This sounds dumb but I've noticed a real pattern with https://chicken2.casino/ and it has nothing to do with the game itself. It's about me.
I tracked my sessions for two weeks. Same difficulty (Medium), same bet size ($2), same cash out target (3x). The only variable was time of day.
Day sessions (noon to 4pm):
12 sessions
Average result: down $6 per session
Longest losing streak: 5 rounds
Walked away frustrated: 1 time
Night sessions (10pm to 2am):
10 sessions
Average result: down $24 per session
Longest losing streak: 11 rounds
Walked away frustrated: 7 times
The game didn't change. The RNG didn't change. I changed.
At night I was:
Tired from work
Sometimes had a drink or two
More likely to say "one more lane" past my target
Faster to rage increase my bet size after a loss
During the day I was:
Alert and focused
Sticking to my cash out target
Taking breaks between rounds
Actually closing the tab when I hit my loss limit
The game isn't rigged. But playing when you're exhausted or emotional is basically self sabotage. The spacebar doesn't care if you're tired – you still have to press it at the right time.
Now I only play Chicken2 in the afternoon or early evening. If it's late and I want to gamble, I play something slow like video poker where decisions aren't split second. Nighttime crash games are a trap for me personally.
Anyone else notice they play worse at certain times? Or is this just a me problem?
