You’ve already simulated winning, why bother taking it further?


To win actual money, to do you know, what people do with money, i.e. spend it on things? I do not understand how anyone on this planet could ask a question as literally as dumb as the one you just asked was...

According to some, this world is a simulation so what does it matter if you win within the simulation or win within your simulation within this simulation? Are the rules different in this simulation than in your simulation within this simulation?

Which begs the question. In any simulation, reality or illusion. You cannot win for losing.

Sigh. You are so dense. Just because we almost certainly ARE in a simulation, that does not mean we cannot feel pain, or experience pleasure, in this simulation. Of course we can, and do. I am going to have some fun winning a bunch of $$$ gambling, then have some more fun spending it, mmmmkay? If you want to instead bang your head against the wall over and over and over and over again because you feel that is all one should do given the knowledge that we are in a simulation, that's on you lol.

One thing people forget about gambling on PC's is that it really doesn't truly simulate real world randomness. At least I don't believe they've cracked that code yet. If you do blackjack on a PC and real world side by side, you will most likely win more on the PC than in real life (not counting cards).

Yo Greenman, damned concert was not done until freaking 1230. Actually it was not even done then, that is just we I convinced the guy i was with to bail. I did the system on a machine roulette game at $4 starting bet and was up $15 or $16, but it took like 15 or 20 minutes or so and my buddy got ancy and wanted to play blackjack so we went to play and promptly lost all of our money lol.

Just goes to show, even though its a total grind, better to stick with the system. Grow rich SLOWLY lol.

LOL wat? Even if numbers generated by a PC are not truly random, which I don't think they are, why would the be systematically BETTER for the player? Especially when the player can take almost completely different bets (like pass versus don't pass on craps, or red or black on roulette). You are either trolling or not very bright, no offense.

I would say do some research regarding RNG. It has come a long way in the last few years but it still doesn't simulate reality 100% without some sort of external random interaction.

https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/can-a-computer-generate-a-truly-random-number/


Here is an example of someone who says it is completely random, but points out it does not represent true physics because the number is already determined prior to the bet placement. Which basically means it is not identical to real life roulette. An interesting note here is that there are some that actually do live roulette.

https://www.quora.com/Is-online-casino-roulette-fixed-or-completely-random



Of course, this doesn't take into account fixing. I would be very surprised if any computer roulette wheel takes into account real physics, etc, . My example was cards though, because you would be more likely to get 4 of a kind playing on a computer than in real life (at least that is how I understand it). Now that being said, it still doesn't account for fixing - which I can't really speak to for online gambling, but since much of it is offshore, it is questionably regulated.

So you were doing well, then you lost all of your money?

Looks like the casino's system works better than yours. :p

Well its better for the player when its a no money game because it encourages idiots to think that their system works and then to lose real money when they try to use it when betting for cash.

This guy lost everything the second he purchased tickets and stepped foot in a fucking Aaron Lewis concert.
Hey, I like Aaron Lewis. Not sure I'd pay to see him in concert, but I'm not much of a concert guy to begin with.
