My Casino.. The good,bad and the uglyFollow

#1 Oct 25 2004 at 1:34 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, let my first start off by saying I just started to try out the whole casino thing in Jeuno. Many people have flammed/yelled/emoted me again and again crying about how stupid it is. I would like to know where people get off saying that it is wrong and unfair.

Yeah so instead of farming/camping/crafting i'm going to try a different approach and I am called lazy and dumb for this! I don't get it, how can all of you people complain about it? Yes I spam in the city, but it's JEUNO, get over it. I don't see people on here crying about the 1-6 teleporters who every 2min fill up the screen with the same offers. I spam not more, but less than these people, I might hit my macro every 5-10 minutes depending on how things are going. So there goes everyone's first flame fest about how we are spamming to much.

Now another thing that kind of makes me laugh, I play with odds of 60/40 and thats a ripoff? Look at real life, take scratching/lottery tickets for exmaple, then range from 1-20$ The odds on basic scratch tickers are 1-5~ to just win YOUR money back and maybe 1-10 to actually gain a profit. The same with lottery tickets, but in order to win anything the odds range from 1-20 to 1- hunders of thousands. Do you see people crying about the guys who created this and just sit on their A$$ while the money rolls in? So there is point number to, My casino is in no way a huge disadvantage to the player.

So far my bets range from Min-250 Max-3500, this is not a bank killer, It isn't my fault, or anyone else's if you keep playing again and again and lose your bankroll.

So please someone, tell me what is so wrong about this? I'm not here to start a huge flame war, or to be flamed about what I said. I am just telling you guys the facts and hoping to here some intelligent responses.

Thank you for your time... See ya around

I personally don't care if someone does this or not. It's not my thing, so I don't participate and if the so called spamming is annoying me, I'll add whoever is doing it to b-list until I leave the city or filter out shouts until I leave the city so I don't have to put up with it.

But when you try something like that, you have to know that some aren't going to be accepting of it and know that getting harrassed is going to be part of it. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is. People often can't agree to disagree and feel the need to fight with someone they share a difference of opinion with. You have to decide if the payoff is worth the headache. But you can't expect some people to not have a negative view towards it. I know people who have a negative view towards all gambling, including scratch offs and the like. Some people are like that, and that is their right to have that belief.

I honestly, no offense wished you wouldnt do this. Its really no fair to others. Farm like normal people instead of forcing people to filter shout or blist you. Just my 2 gil

You say it's not fair? How is that. Instead of spending the little time I have farming I can sit in town and do this while I do homework and such. This is unfair? I lost over 60k tonight in my casino I can tell you what the people who won weren't crying about how unfair it was. Some of us dont like to kill the same mob for three hours straight, or to sit near the Mog house teleporting for hours.

So you go ahead and give me a reason why it's unfair

Edit- One more point, you talk about filtering in jeuno, I don't know if you have noticed or not but even if I didn't spam there 5 other teleporters and a random amount of other people would asking for help.

I can't envision a way that this is unfair. No one can force you to do anything. If you are having a convo jeuno and there is too much spam, try going into your moghouse or port jeuno. I see no reason to /blist someone for this. -.-

[/My 2 gil] =)

My ls members were getting a kick out of it. It seemed to be a nice distraction for them. My husband broke even and I think one of my friends took you for 4500 gil. Sorry you lost so much money. I was cracking up as I would pass by and hear "Winner winner winner!" If someone doesn't want to play they don't have to. Just keep walking by. Slipknott isn't the first casino in Jeuno and he won't be the last. It's just something...different to do. Best of luck to you Slipknott. I won't gamble in your casino, but I'm also a tightwad in Vegas too. I'll let my husband give you all his gil instead. :) Thanks for the entertainment.

I personally think it is great that you have found an easy way to make money in this game^^. I see no problem with it at all. It looks like it would be fun for you and everyone that plays. I do not see you spamming at all. Like you said, I might see your shout once every 5-10min unlike the tele shouts.I give major props to you on finding a unique way of making money in this game. Sorry you lost so much the other night tho^^.Good luck with your Casino. I might try and stop by once to try it out^^

Hey again, sorry for my double post earlier. ^ ^
I would like to thank the people that did post here and defend/support me. I would also like to say that yes i'm making decent money so far but I also decided to try this out because I think it is fun. I have made a few new friends already who stop by once in a while for a roll or two and its a blast :)
Well I guess I will see you all in Jeuno!

PS- Whoever rated me down, be my guest. I think this is the second post I have ever made here so... have away at it
