I am a gambling beast

[pickled_heretic]

the probability of a catastrophic, irreconcilable loss balances out any small, short-term gains you are making in the long run.

Congratulations on your good fortune, goodle. As others here have said, don't count on it continuing to last.

Or is it that he is a seed? You know someone the Casino pays to spread the "good" word so more people try to do like him.

Gambling is all about playing with people's emotions, and taking advantage of one's use of "common sense" over deductive thinking.

For example, if you walked up to a roulette wheel and saw that the previous 10 rolls were 31, would you have more of an urge to place a bet on 31? Most people would (even I'd have the urge), even though the odds of it coming up are the same before the 10 rolls, which is 1-in-38 (36 numbers plus 0 & 00 on American wheels).

Shills work the same way. They are placed around the casinos strategically to play with gamblers' emotions, swaying them one way or the other. Gambling is a multi-billion dollar business, so with that much money involved casinos are always trying to get in more revenue because they can. Foxwoods in CT earns one billion just off its slots alone, an utter travesty in my opinion, but those who play them get some time of utility cost from it I suppose.

Ya, when I go gambling irl I'm generally not going to win(although it would be nice!) I'm typically going to play some games and have a good time. When I gamble in EC it's not because I think I have some plan to hit it rich, I usually just have some pp weighing me down and I'm bored so I figure why the hell not. I mean I've deleted it plenty of times, no harm in gaming with it instead. =p

You want that book, amateur bettors.

A good place to start would be www.sbrforum.com.

But I guess you knew that already.
