General Discussion / On-Line Gambling versus Practice Only, Same Website
April 20, 2020, 03:48:38 AM
On-Line Gambling versus Practice Only, Same Website
My friend did a test over the past few weeks, to be exact the past 16 days he said. He ran the same wagers for 64 sessions of 3 things:
1) Practice on-line with Free Wager game only, without using the free chips;
2) Practice on-line with Free Wager game with the free practice chips in play;
3) Real money on the website game.
#1 and #2 are different. I already talked to several people about this and it sure took a lot of explaining! Why? I do not know why it was so hard to understand, but like most things people either do not want to believe or have reason to ignore, it makes it that much tougher for them to grasp. But there is a huge difference. Please understand.
He used the exact same amount of wagers as well as the exact same units for each and every wager. He varied his wagers at times, following patterns as well as the total opposite. But, he always did the exact same thing, for the exact same amount of hands and in the exact same order. He also clearly used series of alternating wagers. Again, all wagers were the exact same for all three types as listed above and for every single shoe. He wagered exactly 25 hands per shoe with four shoes of each type. All three types were with the same website.
He won a total of 390 units with Type #1
He won a total of 2,840 units with Type #2
He lost a total of 355 units with Type #3
Lets talk about #3 first. I will not assume or claim that the website monitors any of its on-line wagers and rigs anything. I would have to have him conduct at least 50 of these to get that assumption. While I do not gamble on-line, I have talked with many people that have. Some do win, while numerous people do loose. Some of those that do loose, I know they are very conservative gamblers and very short session length players. What they do on-line, I am not witness to. I just know what they tell me.
Now #1 and #2. I have done both on-line and at the same website my friend did the above test. I have clearly noticed over the years, that I have been able to easily win on their practice Bac game. I mean, without keeping stats myself, I would assume I win at least 75-80% easily of my practice sessions using the Type #2, with the free chips producing a running total, etc. I have lost considerably lost more of the Type #1 games in comparison to the Type #2 games as well. Again, I have never played for money on-line, so I cannot comment with any personal experiences regarding that.
I do know with the amount I have played at practice on the websites, I am pretty confident that they slant it towards the player/consumer, to entice him into playing for real money on their site. I will not go so far as to say, that they cheat or rig their real money games in favor of the website/casino, but I am pretty sure that the ratios of the consumers win on the practice types without real money are higher than that of the real money Bac games.
And after all, it would not be illegal by any means to rig a free game towards the consumer/player would it? Be careful with the on-line stuff, even believing what you are calculating with their free games.
Personally I would not use their free chips for those of them that offer an option to play betting free chips versus just running the hands and watching. If you do the latter, just run the hands and watch and keep notes, you will see you might just win more when you do wager with their free chips, which would be completely contrary the reality of the game.

There are hundreds of them. This press release will outline an overview. The emails and the calls from the boiler rooms are in full effect without a doubt. Just about every U.S.A.O. District has a task force formed and in place. There has already been numerous indictments and arrests in reference to this.

I can only imagine how brilliant these people thought they were. Bet they were hip, had all the clothes and bling jewelery and everything else that they always wanted to buy. LOL.

Related But Not Related / The Lottery Scam focusing on the Jamaican perpetrators explained
April 19, 2020, 01:50:44 PM
Cyber crime and the Lottery Scam. Spelled out and detailed.
I saw a documentary on American Greed and another news show the other week. Personally I have never fell prey to any scam on the internet as far as buying or falling for something where direct money is rendered. My only actual experience was having to completely bring down my business computer system due to clicking on an email that I assumed was from a major credit card company of mine and having malware installed on my computer and then finding out, that it was all false and thus, my education in malware, etc. The only other thing I learned about the internet fraud field was in reference to purchasing things with a credit or debit card and how valuable it is to use a separate card for internet purchases so your high limit valuable cards cannot be compromised by hackers or small internet companies selling your information, etc.
I receive numerous emails as well as phone calls and texts each and every day regarding all the scams, the lower interest rates, the $500 or $1,000 dollar gifts from all the major credit cards-hotels and assorted other scammers pretending to be the national well known company. As well as the insurance company, the free vacation specials, the IRS tax calls, and all the other creative threatening scams. The list is huge. I delete each and everyone of them, each and every day. As well, I compare all of them to most all the promises of 100% money making, multi thousand dollar per day gambling systems.
But after watching those two TV new shows that were extremely well put together, I finally seen the inside to the whole lottery scam field and it is not a little thing by any means. If you have wondered anything about this lottery thing, read the following. There are so many key points in its success and those are explained.
Try and catch the TV show on American Greed, the trips to Jamaica mad by the show and the US Law Enforcement officials will show you the actual mansions the people putting on the scams were living in as well as other things that went along with all of it. But like the gambler, greed got them and landed them in prison. Just about the same as a casino gambler that starts to win and cannot control himself, greed will get you and control you just about every time.

I agree with and endorse everything said in this city council video made last night. We need to reopen the whole country, maybe some certain sections or some certain areas that have extremely high infection rates and fatality counts happening but 90% of the country's geographic area needs to be reopened and there's no reason why it should not be.

Alrelax's Blog / The man that lobbied for many Indian Nations regarding their casino positions
April 16, 2020, 11:32:17 PM
The ultimate Washington Insider. Had all the connections in the world, messed up went to federal prison, got out and he's right back in Washington. He was a huge player for the Indians, for their Casino advantages and things that made them a lot of money and of course, he made tons and tons of money!
Abramoff's lobbying and the surrounding scandals and investigation are the subject of two 2010 films: the documentary Casino Jack and the United States of Money, released in May 2010, and the feature film Casino Jack, released on December 17, 2010, starring Kevin Spacey as Abramoff.
Arguably one of the world's most famous lobbyists and former Washington power players, Jack Abramoff's rollercoaster life story might as well be a major motion picture. In fact, it is. Already two major motion pictures based on Abramoff's story have hit the silver screen. Dubbed on the cover of Time Magazine as the "Man Who Bought Washington", Abramoff rose to become the nation's most successful and prominent lobbyist, before becoming enmeshed in the most harrowing political scandal since Watergate.
Having served 43 months in federal prison, Abramoff is out and ready to speak. Few know more than he about how Washington really works. Abramoff once labeled the dysfunctional and Byzantine system which has become our federal government as the 'favor factory'. None can better show why this factory needs to be shuttered, so good government and democracy can prevail.
Born in Atlantic City, raised in Beverly Hills, California, Abramoff was graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in English Literature and Opera. At Brandeis, Abramoff commenced his political career, heading the state-wide College Republican group and was credited with delivering Massachusetts to Ronald Reagan in 1980, the first time since Eisenhower that a Republican would win the Bay State. Abramoff was soon elected as the national chairman of the College Republicans and built that organization into the largest student political organization in the free world.
His next position foreshadowed his rise to national prominence, as he was chosen to head President Reagan's grassroots lobbying organization. In this role, Abramoff honed the lobbying skills he would later deploy to become the nation's top legislative advocate. Under his leadership the organization moved major Reagan administration initiatives through the Congress and sponsored the world's first convocation of anti-Soviet forces in the bush of Southern Africa.
As the Reagan era wound down, Abramoff moved from the world of politics to the world of cinema, becoming a motion picture producer, making action adventure films, including 'Red Scorpion'. His international experience in structuring motion picture finance made him a popular lecturer at Georgetown University Law Center, where he had been graduated in 1986; but the siren call of politics drew Abramoff back to his roots, and in 1994, he joined the lobbying division of the law firm headed by Bill Gates' father. Abramoff set to work and, within a few years, built one of the nation's most prestigious and profitable lobbying practices. As Abramoff continued to build, his political base expanded and soon he found himself at the top of his profession.
When a corporation, Indian tribe, or foreign nation needed to win, they went to Team Abramoff, the eclectic hand-picked team of lobbying guns he assembled. Their clients rarely were defeated, and reaped billions of dollars of benefit.
Abramoff's arsenal included his Signatures restaurant, one of the Capital's finest, some of the best sports tickets in the nation, and an unlimited capacity to raise funds to fuel the political system which made his influence possible.
Abramoff had it all. And then it was gone. In an instant, his world collapsed and Abramoff fell into the abyss, eventually landing in federal prison, his name becoming synonymous with corruption and what's wrong with our government.
The fall from grace changed Jack Abramoff and woke him up. And now, Abramoff is determined to do all he can to rectify the wrong he did and to identify and help end the corruption of the system he so well played. His orations will not only serve as a cautionary tale, but as an historic platform for reform of the system.
