Shit things that has happened to you today

[Lucky Cris]

I had an epiphany. 

Gone are the days you could drop a few coins in a casino with the prospect (however so slight) that there’s a possibility that you could get it back and more. Even the most reputable casinos seem to have taken a turn for the worst - if I didn’t know any better, I’d think I was playing at one of those fly-by-nights nowadays. But then again… part of their market strategy is to build trust, isn’t it?

You seem confused. The odds are the same as they ever were. You've always had the chance to walk away with less than what you started with, in fact it's probable that you will, statistically speaking.

The odds have always been against you, and they still are. You know what house edge is right?

Of course I do, and I'm not confused but thanks for the offer. Hence my statement: "... (however so slight) that there’s a possibility that you could get it back...

But perhaps I could've been more clear. More or less I'm referring to the abyss of your deposit address on some of those 'scam' gambling sites.... you know the ones where your coins just seem to disappear even though you're playing 50/50 and about to lose 20 times in a row? Yeah, those sites   I'm just giving my observation/opinion that some reputable sites (those who actually allow a few to win every now and again), seem to be tightening up quite a bit.

Does that make better sense?

No, because they are provably fair. If you think they are rigging bets there are things you can do to make it impossible for them to do so in the dark. Of course they can always steal from you once, but at least you'd have proof of it. Of all the accusations I've seen, I've only heard "20 in a row!!!" (statistically possible) and the like over and over again. I've never seen hard proof, as in fixed rolls with all the seeds.

If you don't use those checks and balances to be sure you aren't being had, well that's on you. The table has always been against you loosing though, you've never had the chance, no matter how slight, of coming out ahead after many bets. Placing more bets just gives variance more of a chance to screw you, as it is supposed to.

I don't play betting sites, but I know how they work.

Okay... so this was my epiphany; why are you trying to rain on my enlightenment? Here's my emoticon with X's for eyes and the tongue sticking out just for you:  xx-P

But on a serious note, what are the checks and balances? Changing the client seed that can be changed by a quick hiccup on the server side? I've done that just to check my proof and it wasn't what I entered. I understand losing and odds -  I certainly don't expect to win 1/2 of the time even playing 50/50. But what I do expect is to be given the fair chance - the odds I pay for.

Besides, the issue isn't the fact that I'm being had, the point is it's getting hard to find a casino where you won't be had. Perceived or real had. We wouldn't need those precautions if the 'had' don't exist, right?

Because for every post like yours I see, the guy making it really doesn't see the issue. I've tried pointing it out before, but it never seems to work. I'm not trying to rain on any enlightenment, just make my point that you were never in a situation to come out ahead, the odds were always against you. I'm not sure if you see that now, but it would probably be a good thing to know. Hope you don't get mad that I thought I'd point that out for your benefit.

You are making a claim that a popular site is ripping you off, yet you don't have any proof. If you have proof that a roll should have been a winning bet, but it came up loosing, you'd have a case. Either you don't know how to check them properly, or you actually have proof. If you were to continue using these sites I imagine such a skill would be most beneficial to learn. Confirm that you were ripped off and make it public (best be sure though, I don't like to look foolish any more than I have to myself.)

All casinos are set up to take from you, please learn that now. Even the "fair" ones, they all have a house edge. You might win, but the thing is you don't complain then. When the odds go against you, all the sudden it's "fixed!"

Can't you see that madness?

It's unfortunate we've taken this thread on another level... But I'm not mad at all, you're actually looking out. I know the house eventually win; by design. I'm also not making a claim that a popular site is ripping me off, please re-read my original post. I said "seem to have taken a turn for the worst..." This implies my perception of the usual game play. You've driven your car long enough to know when there's something wrong, right? Well, maybe that's not the best analogy. But you hit it on the mark... in a 'fair' casino, I might win. Full circle, right back to my original point.

Also, please don't generalize that people think that games are fixed because they're losing; this is ludicrous to anyone who gambles, it's a gamble after all. But it's of no wonder your message to others isn't being well-received, it could be your presentation. But I get what you're saying. Oh, and for the casino that I know for sure are ripping me off, yes I make it public. Read my previous posts.

This thread was crap from the get go, it's no big loss.

No, my man, you still don't get it. A random throw of the "dice" is not like a car going bad from wear. Thinking any different is nothing more than gamblers fallacy. It feels different, but it's not.  I don't really care to read about your proof, but I'm sure I would have heard of it were it legitimate and from one of the big dice sites. There are a lot of straight up rip-off casinos though, and it seems you may have found one of those.

Hey!!! I actually like reading this thread! It's crap but you entertain it. But to rebut...

1) Why do I have to be a man... although I can be a little aggressive/bossy I try to soften my tone with 'pleases' and 'thanks' and other nice shit like that
2) Trust me, I do get it! Point out one comment I said suggesting otherwise; you can't because I agree with you
3) I knew the car analogy was a bad example (even said so), but I couldn't resist... your name
4) I'm a realistic thinker; but I think you missed the fact I was referring to marketing tactics; similar to bait and switch   
5) If you skim this forum, you've heard about them way before I posted proof, and thanks for acknowledging that I found one

You really put a lot of effort into talking some sense into me, eh? If I had big brother, you'd be his voice.

i went cycling today and a few days ago.. my testis have been hurting, or maybe it's my prostate. i think i should stop, especially if i want to make a baby in the future.

Haha. My butt/balls go numb sometimes when cycling. First time it happened was quite a shock as it just felt like cock and balls had disappeared. feltbadman.jpg.

My Girlfriend 'left me' on our 4 yr anniversary (16th december). She can't tell me what the fuck is going on... Apparently things got mediocure, great... And you don't want to fix things?!?! She always told me we were perfect, we were talking about getting married and having beautiful babies together just in last few weeks ago. I wish I knew how women worked! She said she just needs her space to work out what she wants.... So I've fucked off to Amsterdam, I grew up in Holland so it's a very familiar place for me, I'm not just here for the weed . It's not a million miles away from home either.

So here I am, spending christmas all alone and fucked up in a hotel room. This came from nowhere.... How do you just give her space when you've had no explanation?!?

She is my first love, we had so many plans together. I have enough BTC and fiat to last me a long time. I quit my job recently because I knew it was making miserable... Working 75hours a week is no good for your head or body..

Any advice please?

I'm so depressed! I have no one else in my life and that's only my fault...

[Thedoubleace]

What are some shit things that has happened to you today?

I'll start it off

I lost my wallet. I have no idea where it is. Been looking all around my room for an hour now. :/

Nothing. I'm from Brazil and here are still 10 hours

She left you on your anniversary? That's cold.  I like the fucking off to Amsterdam part though haha.

[bennybong]

She left you on your anniversary? That's cold.  I like the fucking off to Amsterdam part though haha.

Yeah she wanted to go say with her parents... Like fuck am I hanging around in this house on my own! Left to pay the bills and just try to get on with things in the mean time. No fucking way.... I won't allow her to have the luxury of someone to talk to. She should talk to me!

I've been in that situation and learned the following lessons the hard way:

- Either you are in control of your emotions, or the emotions are in control of you
- Either you manage your life, or you lead it - there is a difference
- Either you decide what happens next or somebody else will make the decisions for you

There is not always a why, and even if there is, she may not even know the why herself.

She seems to making all the decisions, that's what I'm finding so hard... Do I not get a say at all?? I've done nothing to hurt her. We've both been with our lives this year but we have each other to talk to and fix things... I have a nice bit of cash in the bank. We'd planned what we were going to do next. She's not thinking straight I'm sure of it... I hope I'm not kidding myself.

Just last week I thought we had spoken about what was wrong... So we planned starting a new life together on the other side of the world. We were discussing schools for our future children and everything??! Way to give me mixed fucking signals.... WOMEN!!!!!!!

Did she actually 'leave' you as in split up with you, or just say she wanted to spend time away and with her family etc?

I had really good surprises planned for our anniversary weekend. She would've loved it, it was just what she'd always wanted to do.... So on her way home from work she just immediately started blanking me. We had been talking during the day. She switched her phone off and staring ignoring me, I was like okay.... WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. I drove around trying to find her (not sure If that was the right thing or not) I found her walking down the high street with her friend (who is practically a lesbian... you know the sort, she's obviously not help things lol). She just starting running away from me... When I finally got her to talk she was just shouting WE'RE OVER BEN DON't YOU FUCKING GET IT?. No I really don't get it. Now she just says she just needs her space to figure out what she wants. I find that very hard to take because we are really good together. There's no other guy or anything. Her head is just fucked up and I hope she comes around soon before I lose my shit completely...

So no, she didn't actually leave me as such. But she thinks we're over and she can't explain why. She's not even willing to talk things through at this point... She says she's doesn;t know what else to say... anything would be nice, because I'm getting nothing from her.

She was about to move her shit out at one point. If it weren't for my drastic intervention she would certainly be gone right now.

I think you're better off without her if that's how she treats you.

I dunno, that kinda sounds like she's wanting to split up.
