The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

"just being really unlucky with when you decide to bet a larger amount."

This is exactly my point though. And even if I only bet 100k's (which I have done, especially last night), I still shouldn't experience such an immense loss. You only lose out all your money if you're betting against someone who has more than you, who is able to push your limit down until you can no longer handle the high variance. This is not the case here because I've had enough to spam 100k's without worrying about the lowerbound yet.

Someone for the love of **** take my two 100k's so I can stop staring at them.

You're down 1.3M, with 100k bets that's being down 13. Across your 500 bets, that would have you at what, 237-263? That's a 47.4% win rate, which seems plenty close to 50% to me.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

That's just over time, which I agree with. On the margin, when choosing my "base point" to be at 3.5 mil, the win/loss from there is ridiculous, and that is why I am pissed.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

So you've acknowledged that over time your results are pretty typical and well within reason, but you've decided to point to a small sample which supports the idea that you are losing hard, to argue that you are, in fact, losing hard? I don't buy it.

As they say in the casnios "You're having a run of bad luck, don't worry it will turn around soon, I'm sure"

Oh, I see what you're saying, okay that's even more silly. If your win/loss rate is acceptably close to 50/50, that means that every time you've been down this far you've likely also been up that much at another time. (Say, at the end of your 15 bet winning streak) I'll notice that while you complain about being down 1.3M from your base value, you didn't likewise have anything negative to say about being -up- that much from your base value.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

I ****ing buy it because I went from 3.5 to 1 mil. That is not debatable. I am pissed the **** off.

Lost my 10k.

Down another 100k


Dev: Of course -- I am not arguing with that. I'm just PISSED OFF. I am pissed off because now that I am on the lower end of the threshold, my betting power has diminished and now I have to start worrying about high variance again.

I'm below 1mil

You know, I was doing perfectly fine until Lump showed up -- once he started betting, I started falling from 3.5 mil, and he's continuing to rape me of credits even though I started out with an absurdly higher credit count.


Someone take the 100k bets

Lost a bunch of 1k's

Lost another 300k


Honestly. Come the **** on.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

That's it. I'm leaving for good. This makes me too pissed off for words.

Good ****ing riddance.

Do what you want with my scores, I don't give a **** anymore.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

What I find most interesting is that the top 10 credit winners, in order, are also the top 10 credit losers, in order. The best winrate list maps onto the worst winrate list adding pretty close to 100% in all cases, and the ten longest winning and losing streaks are all pretty similar as well.

It actually seems like a pretty solid case study for "This is how 50/50 chances work over time"

Edit: Well...goodbye then? I'm not sure why your scores are relevant to you deciding to stop using the site because you lost a lot in gambling.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

Because I have a tournament where some of my prizes involve credits. I made a deal with Tass that if I didn't pay up, I agreed to have my scores deleted as insurance. I no longer have the credits to fend for the tournament.

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

Well, forgive me for saying so, but you shouldn't have gambled with credits that were spoken for, I suppose.

Honestly, suck it up. You could have quit at any time.

Internet credits are serious business.

I can't honestly imagine what you would be like in a real gambling situation in which you lost actual money. You'd probably end up hanging yourself or something.

Stop acting so ridiculous.

[MrRubix]

Re: The FFR Credit Gambling Thread - Whine & Gloat HERE!

You're right.

I just need to calm down for a few hours.

I'm not used to losing and I get ridiculous when I'm trying hard for something and getting raped.
