From Losing 37 Rounds to Mastering Aviator: A Psychologist’s Journey from Chaos to Clarity

I used to think Aviator was a slot machine with wings.

I’d sit at my Brooklyn apartment after work, tapping the app like it was a lottery—until I lost 37 times in a row.

It wasn’t luck.

It was misaligned behavior: chasing high multipliers while ignoring RTP (Return-to-Player rate), overextending my daily budget of $50–80 BRL, mistaking noise for progress.

Then I paused.

Not because I wanted to win—but because I needed to understand why I kept playing.

The game doesn’t reward courage. It reveals it.

I began tracking three invisible metrics:

1. The time between spins—never longer than 30 minutes;
2. The emotional cost of each bet—not the amount, but the feeling it left;
3. The rhythm of the flight—not the multiplier, but the silence before takeoff.

I stopped chasing ‘starfire’ events. Instead, I joined the Aviator Community—not for screenshots or bragging—but for stories like mine: someone who lost everything… then chose stillness.

One night, after BRL 150 won on a quiet spin—I didn’t celebrate by cashing out. I closed the app—and lit a single candle on my windowsill. That was my victory.

Aviator isn’t designed to make you rich. It’s designed to reveal whether you’re running from yourself—or flying toward something real. The sky doesn’t care if you hit x100. The sky cares if you remembered to breathe before you clicked ‘takeoff’.

Be the pilot who sees the instruments—before you trust your impulse.
