My Thoughts on Gambling 

Did you know that 90% of gamblers quit gambling right before they would have won 100 million dollars! Stay dedicated guys!

Thanks for the two hundred dollary-doos mate 🪃🦘

Before my parents were married, they took a trip to Vegas with a group of friends. When they went to the first casino, my mom bet just a quarter. She won fifty cents, put the quarters in her pocket, and then said "okay, I'm done". Iconic family story.

Wow I haven’t watched James in two years his animation has really improved. Great job and continue to be awesome James!

As somebody who works in a casino, this is the best representation of gambling on youtube.

Idk why it’s so satisfying to see how SMOOTH James’ animation is, especially in his show

As someone who went to Vegas this past summer, I can confirm that the SECOND you step off the jetbridge at Harry Reid, you see slot machines. And you will likely see one every 2 feet for the duration of your stay.

Born and raised in Nevada, and this is a perfect explanation of gambling. Oh this and remember that casinos are able to offer room rates and other benefits that are cheap when compared to similar offerings from non-casino resorts, but are just their way to get you into their resort

The animation in his new videos are absolutely crazy. His team is doing an amazing job

This channel went from Jame's stories in his life to now teaching lessons about life in general, and I love it

The level of creativity and attention to detail in this video is off the charts. TheOdd1sOut really knows how to set themselves apart from their unique concepts and storytelling. It's evident that the creators put a lot of effort into making their videos standout as a piece of content history.

I love how he’s just drinking a juice box while his “mates” get drunk. Beautiful.

The fluidity of the animation and the colours chosen makes these new videos seem like moving works of art.

The animation had just gotten do much more better than the last videos

I like how he deliberately makes all of the characters have huge cake 😂

James is definitely showing off his hand drawing powers now

I really like how James went from life stories to more of a life lessons content channel

In australia, its actually illegal to have a casino without clocks/windows. I think thats why las vegas was such a culture shock to me, because as james mentions, you step into the airport and BOOM casino.

1:25 I appreciate that reference

My dad should watch this

Gambling can very bad, but also bring back the game corner in pokemon. Life is complex.

That snake was so, Interesting, In the best way possible. Why did the voice, character, and animation all fit so perfectly?!! James, your legit a legend.

IS NO ONE GOING TO SAY ANTHING ABOUT THE URNALS IN THE BATHROOM???!??!?!!!!!

Don’t bring any more money into a casino that you’re not willing to throw in the ground and set fire to it

Casinos are so fascinating from a psychological level because they utilize the sunk cost fallacy and near miss effect to an absurd degree. The golden apples section is a great point to both of these.

Former slot technician; as soon as you hit the play button the entire gamble is determined in milliseconds. Even if you get 1000 free plays, the end total is known to the machine right away.

"I'm in a different country, so my parents will never know I GAMBLED!" his mom viewing the video:

0:40 I love the Kakegurui ref

top notch animation, it's so wild to see how far this has come. so proud of you for landing a Netflix show

The improvement over time of James' animation is so incredible. Good job to the oddonesout team!💖

Haven’t watched this guy in about 3 years and this dude is still just as funny and with better animation

It has been 7 years and content is always good!!

The Luigi casino mini game forced me into this life James, I can’t stop

The effect at 5:53 was amazing, all the animation it's so smooth. Great job!

Love your vids so much keep up the good work

Hey man, thanks for this video. It was a joy watching this with my girlfriend (btw she enjoyed it very much as well). Danke!

Congrats on season 2 of your show! Nice to see how far you’ve come!

Hi James! I am a casino dealer mainly for blackjack! I always tell customers who stop "It is very admirable to know when to stop" whether up or down. Of course I can't say certain things like "dude, you are up $5k and you bought in at this table for $100, walk away! Run go leave! Take your winnings go!" that does kill me lol. I do whatever i can in my limitations to encourage gaming responsibly.

I like the dont hug me im scared reference

It’s weird bc ppl go to the arcade or whatever and spend their money there but they won’t get any money in return In a way gambling is like going to the arcade but you can actually get some money back

As somebody who noticed right away at 18 that I was prone to gambling addiction when I started having unhealthy thoughts at the scratchoff machine, you did a really good job portraying it. All the excuses and convincing yourself, it can become a really vicious cycle, especially when you use your debt as your new excuse for gambling cuz you gotta get outta debt somehow right? Luckily I had the self awareness and stepped back from it at 18 when I realized how much those scratch offs sink their hooks into me. I'm my mid 20s, and I've still never stepped foot inside a casino

As a gamer, I gambled a lot of loot boxes in the past. Now, I lost interest in wasting my money on games. To this day, I still regret doing it!

7:49 that part was savage

the clock from DHMIS = nostalgia aslo trauma

It’s kinda fascinating to have grown up with this channel and watch it go from talking about elementary school activities to warning people to not gamble irresponsibly.

The red 23 number popping to Arin going crazy was a perfect Easter egg 😂

This is why I host 5 dollar buy in for poker with the bois. At the end of the night, most you'll lose is 20$ for two games and maybe a rebuy. Great job in emphasizing that its only for entertainment!

At the end of the exchange in 3:13, James still owes Maaz $5.

I remember my first and only time in a casino. It was a birthday party for a family member and I walked in with a $200 limit I set myself. Sat at my very first machine and won $382 on a $10 bet, spent the rest of the day at the buffet, wasn't taking anymore chance lol

this is crazy impressive props to the animation team

3:45 don't forget the fiver you still owe him.

This video perfectly explains why I love games that are similar to gambling (like that luigi game or collectables) because I LOVE the idea of gambling and the entertainment of it but i would never bid actual money

It’s always interesting to see someone’s thoughts on things

“See gambling lets you pay off your debts” That’s all I needed to hear

i love how the animators made everyone caked up

I quite literally spit when i heard the first line of the video. Its just "i bet this'll be a nice thing to listen to while i get some stuff done" and out of nowhere; YOU SHOULD GAMBLE

Your crew and you have gotten so amazing at animation, as the years go on and each new video comes out it seems like you guys one up yourselfs everytime

*Ah yes, Arin’s legendary big win. What a moment to be alive.*

0:13 One of the many reasons why I hate gambling in general (even my religion prohibits gambling) I'm not a mathematician/statistician, but that doesn't mean I'm bad at math; in fact, science and math is where I excel the most, never getting grades below A in any of them. I will not gamble, knowing full well that no matter what I do, I'll lose money in the long run. I can even calculate how much will I lose over time, given enough time and paper.

My first time gambling was on a Cruz when I was 18. It was this little shop of horrors themed slot machine and my parents gave me a $10 budget since the buy in was so low. I lost most of it, but then won $27 back and then walked away😂

The golden apple thing is not a coincidence. That's how con artists work. They give you small successes at the beginning: "Oh look, that worked, look, it worked again, there's NO way it'll fail now--" and then they run off with your biggest bet yet.

James. The level of detail in your animations that you and your team achieve is absolutely stunning. It’s always a good day when you guys upload

I had a whole 7 sentence paragraph rebuttal to this video before making it to the end. LMFAO im so glad i waited before making myself look like a silly goose, very great content friend. I'M GOING TO VEGAS THIS WEEKEND FOR MY BIRTHDAY, BUFFALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I love this channel to much!

The animation in this video is incredible! The animators made this video so well!

My uncle works security as a bouncer at a casino and he sees the SAME people every day. Not the employees, but the customers. He's seen people win HUGE jackpots, only to gamble it all away in the same day or the same week. Sure there are people he sees once and never sees again like tourists, but since he lives in a small town and it's an Indian Casino, the regulars really stand out as people with gambling addictions.

Some things on rulete actually do matter like if there are scuffs on the board that means that it can changes the likeleness to hit a specific number

I live in ky, gas stations used to have slot machines. My mom played them all the time but limited it so she will never come out negative. She won $2.6k twice. Then $500 like 6-7 times. Not all same day or month. Once someone played a game and hit the middle jackpot for $500. Top jackpot was the 2.6k, my mom played the exact game and bet and a couple spins later she hit the 2.6k.

I am astounded by how good the animation is on this one. The team deserves all the kudos, it is absolutely gorgeous, smooth and dynamic. Great great!!

7:09 I love how Bingo’s head is on the Dingo Bingo. The fact Bluey is produced in Australia makes this even better

0:43 AMOGUS

Arcades are like casino but you get prizes at the end

I’m happy that he wore the Kakegui outfit and said one of the main lines in the show 😊

Congrats on Oddballs season 2, man! Y'all really deserve it!

No way I saw a dhmis reference in there 😮 (The dancing clock…)❤ Love ur channel odd1sout I subbed…❤

Why is bro so caked up bro doesn’t even have cake on his back nah nah he has the whole baking industry

I love how I had to pause every two seconds so I could admire the time and effort put into the beautiful backgrounds.

as a no longer security officer for a casino and knows the ends and outs, it doesn't really matter if you keep hitting bonus for at least the casino I worked at the jackpots are paid out the more people are playing and playing penny machines isn't going to have a huge return either

I Remember Watching James and his Silly Animations 6 Years ago, and Seeing the Quality Improve so much over Time is Amazing

"Opening up a booster pack and not getting any expensive cards....is like loosing your entire life savings" This quote embodies TCGs so well. And totally gives me Celebrations PTSD.

7:30 James knew what he was doing with that fountain

Finland is one of the only countries where gambling is OK in public places such as supermarkets or gas stations. There are state-operated gambling machines in many public areas. The cool thing about this is that the money actually supports many significant initiatives such as science, arts and culture, sports, war veterans, and youth.

The animation here is ABSOLUTELY CRISP. And this just seems fun. Good job, James!

it's insane how much the quality of his videos improved. great job james

His mom reading the script "You did what now!!! "

First time I did black jack I popped off, this is mostly cause I did a bit of studying before going to Vegas. Including the best seat to have at the table. I was happy with that and glad I had someone with me cause I got a gamblers high for sure. Little tap on the shoulder like “hey you should cash that out.” So I did was up 500$!

Fun fact: I gambled probably over $300 of my parents money once trying to win a sonic plushy at an arcade and never got one, still haunts me to this day

This is the first time I’ve watched an odd1sout video in a long time, and let me say… the animation has improved so much! It’s so smooth, and now animated completely, whereas before it was only just a few frames. It looks so good 🤩

I love how accurate the vegas airports are, ive been there once and only for a drive through las vegas and going through the airport and they shove those gambling machines in your poor naked eyes

In my opinion gambling is similar to going to the carnival. You’re gonna spend aroujd 100 bucks regardless so just look at it as your fun for the night. Maybe you’ll make money if not oh well you probably still had a experience with your friends!

I love to see James' animation improve so much! Also, the design for the snake devil is awesome! 3:56

This video is so great because your experience is identical to most addicts that get hooked. I worked in a casino bar for five years, and every single one of them had DOZENS of stories just like the anecdotes in the video. They take it further though. These stories will create superstitions that completely defy rational thought as well. Had these regulars we called "the screen lickers" because one time the husband's finger was wet from the condensation of his beer bottle, and he rolled a jackpot. So then he started getting cups of water and dipping his finger in to wet the screen. And then he got too lazy for that and started licking his finger instead. And then his wife started to do the same thing. It's wild. I once tried to explain the scam of jackpots to a regular out of curiosity to see if she would understand. In my state, jackpot winners of over $1200 owe 30% of the winnings back to the state for taxes. Since regulars/addicts are statistically the most likely jackpot winners and will just put all the money back...jackpots are literally a tax on being addicted. And they just don't get it. They whooped and hollered regardless and tipped me, the bartender, hundreds of dollars for their win...on a slot machine. Because it's supposedly good luck. Gambling addicts aren't just people who don't understand the stacked math of gambling, they're actually so superstitious that logic loses meaning to them entirely.

3 seconds in and he already said something that out of context could get him cancelled

4:13 rip Tony

As someone who’s planning a birthday in Las Vegas, the rush is truly something else. Casinos are definitely built to make you feel like you have a chance rather than having you deal with the reality your more likely to lose more rather than win (hence, the budget). Still mad fun!

the little bingo heeler machine at 7:10 is so precious 🥺

Gambling is not an addiction. 99% of all gamblers quit before they hit it big.

6:30 What a missed opportunity to say “It’s Schrodinger’s Cash!”

4:01 i love the snake's animation

In my long Australian life I have NEVER heard someone say dollary-doo. That phrase is flipping hilarious I'm using it now! You cant stop MEEE
