My HiLo Obsession

[Etude]

Hello everyone! I would like to in this topic express about my own experience in regards to the game that I love to play the most which is HiLo. In comparation to other games available on Stake, I would without a pause say that I play HiLo at least 90% of the time when I am online on Stake. 

So what of HiLo that interest me so much to keep going back to it? I believe it is the thrill of being able to stack consecutive successive cards in order to compound the multiplier that can be obtained over your basebet amount! Every successful card choice selected especially the ones which are on the more difficult odds/lower chance side gives a very fulfilling sense of achievement to press on in increasing the multiplier even more until it is cashed out or in a worse case the wrong card which gives a bust.  

Typically of a gambler there are often times where I just YOLO whatever small amounts I have on hand in my bankroll balance in lower odds HiLo cards, and to my amazement often times the small amount has became a considerable amount! (e.g. 10k satoshis basebet, with the starting card of A and I choose to go down again for either another A or it is a bust; a successful selection would give me a multiplier of 12.87x which brings my 10k satoshi basebet already to a whooping 128.7k satoshi / 0.001287 BTC! ) '

On the other hand when I choose to play a more less risky game for a YOLO bet, I would like to often start with a starting card of 6 or 8, and choose consecutive higher chances (more likely to occur) sides several times to stack it up. 

The one thing that I am currently anticipating would be the overhaul in terms of design layout for HiLo that will be happening very soon, and it sure looks pretty good in the preview shown. 

So there we go, this concludes an Etude's short HiLo Memoir.

That is correct as this would be my entry topic for the season challenge.

Indeed HiLo can be giving at times and when it is not .. it can really be rather brutal though.

f@@k hilo period.!

I hit a couple of triple aces, and triple kings the other night with some nice bets, and came away rather pleased with HL. Now how to hit 5 Kings, Faris?  

[zeriko]

I used to love Hilo , until it stopped playing Nice, noe I despise it for some odd reason

[Shaniqua]

From the anount you wrote and how much enthusiasm you showed it truly is apparent you are ObsessedTude or hilotude kek

[williamshennie9]

It is a very exciting game, even for me. The fact that you control your payouts by opening another card based on the previous one leaves all the control with the user, as well as when you cashout. I also really love Hilo

[Snike]

The pressure of an Ace or King as a starting card and you having to choose to yolo or go normal mode is super big. Everyone knows the feeling to just YOLO it

I also play hilo most of the time when I'm online!

Hilo is the worst game until now lost 300k sats there in a row hate that game

I used to play hilo for its high multiplier, I think it is addictive game.

[rack001]

i have been only playing hilo for a few months now , and it sucks 😜 , the thing about hilo is that it looks very predictable but it isn't . You think its gonna be lo but it would be hi . i can now say i am addicted to hilo too, its really fun to play and profitable too sometimes . Its a perfect balance of unpredictability and rush , the more cards you open the more it increases  .

[polor12]

HiLo as name says...you can win Hi but the wrong choice will keep you Lo..pick your poison..

[Kate]

It is a very exciting game and a very stressful and outrageous game because when you go for high and you think it's gonna be low and click low and then the card goes higher then we are like oh damn this game is stupid i knew it

Lol yeah totally true, i was addicted to hilo too back then but not anymore. It's blackjack now

Well, I've the same Hilo Obsession while Hilo is the game I mostly play while being on stake. However that doesn't mean that I'm on profits but at a 0.05 so far. As you mentioned, I prefer betting like YOLO while it might give you a way better multiplier. I've said to myself that I'll stop playing hilo, but there is something that pulls you there.

[actmyname]

It is a combination of the jackpot chase and the binary interactivity that shows near-misses. "If only I picked the other option" is most likely a common thought.

[KiXxnTRiXx]

bah, i think i might start pkaying hilo again.. my obsession with keno and plinko is a wate of time lol xD.. atleast i win occassionally on hilo.. i just dont like it when it takes you on a troll loop.. where it cycles same sequences but changing 1 or two cards.. its a mindfuk.. drives me crazy.. also when i can even open 2 cards..

It is one of the games where you determine your own payout. If you are on 2x for example, you have the choice to cashout or risk it for a higher payout.
