On live EQ I used to run a casino scam. For an hour or two I would post my casino messages (/roll 1-1000 deal) claiming there isnt a limit on platinum, and if they want I can post my Plat in trade proving I can payout if they win.

I proceeded to have a friend log random chars openly betting while talking in /say and /shout about winning. At the same time a second friend was openly condemning my casino, saying it's a scam and not to trust me. This went on for a good hour or so like I said, and then my friend who claims I'm scamming throughout ooc "plays" my casino with 10k bet and won triple the amount, apologizing profusely in occ that I am not a scam what so ever.

At that point people would immediately flock to me giving me platinum for bets that ranged anywhere from 100pp to 30k one time. I keep doing the "casino rolls" accepting bets and giving no payouts until they catch on. Log off, transfer all the Plat and high end loot I was wearing (more "proof" my lvl 30 Alt has a rich main that can afford to do this casino). Get another char PLed and do the casino again a week later.

Eventually I had a GM issue a cease and desist through tells and I got suspended for ignoring it while arguing casinos aren't against the rule of the game. Bastards.

lol

were you the guy who was offering a fungi if the roll landed on the right number? One number in 1000 ? Can't remember what the cost was to play.

I remember that guy spamming rolls in the emptyish offpeak tunnel til he hit the right number then posting it on the forums as if someone had just won it.... yeah right lol
