I failed statistics (the first time) at Uni but even I know that (a) a few grand is no serious test of a game, (b) subsequent bets have nothing to do with previous bets, (c) if a $0 end-sum was any proof of rigged games then there are legions of gamblers past, present and future who are being fleeced at pretty much any and every game you'd care to name.
PT, you must see that your outrage is your only clear thought here. The rest of it is seriously botched.
PS. I find your request for the return of $1000 of your deposits proof that you're not quite with us on the planet Earth. Think how unbelievably unrealistic that is! If they even considered doing that they've have "me too!" requests flooding their inboxes of the next 100 years ... except they wouldn't last that long because they'd go broke long before that. In a nutshell, you're dreamin' in technicolor!

If you are a moderator, why are you wading into this debate, instead of 'moderating' ? As you say, you failed statistics, so that sort of discounts any input you might have, as I had asked in a previous post for someone who could make sense of the stats.
This post of yours clearly seems to be a personal attack. I thought we weren't going to go down that path?
Anyway, statistically, you are incorrect. The total amount wagered shows the payout ratio. THAT is a fact. Unless you can prove otherwise, why even make the statement you did? And you are wrong. At an average wager of $5 per bet, $13,000 IS a good indicator of the payout percentage! It is naive to think otherwise.
And when did I even say that $0 end sum was proof of a rigged game? I NEVER said that, so I would appreciate it if you don't put words in my mouth. I made it clear that I had monitored the results over a period, and I came to a figure of 75% payout, not 97%
Are you seriously telling me that we should just fully trust that casinos tell the truth about their payout ratio?
Are you also telling me that if a player suspects that the games may be rigged, he should just say nothing, and let other players lose thousands of dollars to the same operator?
What is the point of Casinomeister, if not a player advocate? if it doesn't concern itself with allowing players to voice their concerns without shouting them down, then the site simply becomes an advertising medium for the casinos... I'd think that isn't the intention of Casinomeister.
As for the $1k return, I could have just kept that private between me and the casino, but I wanted EVERYTHING to be transparent. i wonder if that works both ways...
