I think it means "there would be nothing left". Of course, I'm getting a strong and overly detailed vision of Thunderstruck, and Thor's hand on the "brown handle".

Thor should have carried a broom. He could have cleaned up after that goat.

i dissagree, you see some people post screenshots every other day or two days. are they playing 24/7? are they making deposits every hour? don't think so. it seems that they are lucky every time they deposit and it doesn't mather wich casino they use either. i am sure their are other players that make lots of deposits but never win a big amount. wich makes me go think a theory that they are winning based on their ip adres. how about that for a thought, some people always win, others never win because winnings are based on their ip. i think i better go find me a winning ip

Are they playing 24/7? probably. I do it more than not. Are they making deposits every hour? If they arn't losing as much as me they wouldn't have to make deposits every 10 minutes. Every hour sounds heavenly! Do I have screenshots that would rival yours? Most definitely. My screenshots if I do say so myself are extremely impressive. Oh! I forgot one thing! Did I mention how much it really cost me? Oops! I guess I did leave out that one small detail........

if you have lost thousand of euros then you are addicted and you have a problem. big winners all seem to give the excuze that they lose more money then they win but any sensible person would stop playing if they had lost lets say 10000 over the years. with these big depositers and big winners money laundry comes to mind as it is a perfect way to convert black money into white.
you can be the owner of a bussiness lets say a pub and beleive me i know all the tricks bussiness owners do to avoid paying taxes but then they are stuck with this big pile of black money and what better way then to play that money on the casino.

Nothing to do with the original thread question, "rtg software is it fixed", but i would like to respond to the following comment:

"if you have lost thousand of euros then you are addicted and you have a problem. big winners all seem to give the excuze that they lose more money then they win but any sensible person would stop playing if they had lost lets say 10000 over the years."

In my opinion, the amount of money you may have lost playing on-line is not necessarily the determiniation of whether you have an addiction or not--you could lose hundreds and be addicted, or lose thousands and not be addicted; everyone has a different bankroll-level of solvency.
For me, signs of addiction are, out of control playing--continuing when you know you should stop, lying to your family/friends, chasing losses, playing more money than you have available, being preoccupied, etc.

sorry, duplicate post

Just a curious question I have. Like the two proven online poker scandals, in both cases someone was able to access allegedly hidden codes so certain players would know all the cards being played in real time.

Lets allege my brother worked or owned one of these casino servers with the access to all the sensitive information. What would stop him from feeding my IP address with winning codes, or whatever to make me a big winner?

I'm a firm believer that when and where ever money is involved, especially when gambling is involved; if there is a way to cheat for personal gain, consider it done. And if done properly and not greedy there's a good chance of not getting caught. When you behave like the greedy assholes at the busted poker sites, of course you get caught. But if done right you'll slowly become rich.

Similar like that guy that collected parking fees for that zoo in England for 25 years without ever missing a day, or having a family member fill in for him when he wasn't there. He collected like 25 million dollars and just vanished after 25 years. When the zoo people called for a replacement from the government, they responded what parking attendant? I'll follow up with the whole article later.

Anyhow, my point is that I'm not sure about the ability of per say actual casinos being able to pull off cheating, but I'm certain that some form of cheating some where is being done.

I think that's a really important point to make Prindi. People should always keep in mind that the Winner's Screenshot thread is nothing more than "highlights" of gaming sessions. No one knows how much money, and time, was spent to get that one big screenie. It's crucial to keep it all in perspective.

And another great point Pam. Amount of money lost/spent is totally relative to the gambler. While a $50 deposit to me would be huge....for someone else, that may be simply one hand of blackjack, or one spin of a slot. What I spend in a month, they may spend in a few minutes, and it doesn't bother them at all (mentally or financially) to lose it.

The other things you list are really what determine a true addiction...what affects your life in other ways. I'm not saying that the financial aspect isn't important, but it's really only relevant if you're spending more than you can afford, and letting other things suffer (ie. bills, etc) because of it.

I'll follow up with the whole article later.

Here’s that article I mentioned I would post. Have a scanner, but not sure how to eventually get it here, so I just typed it.

Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England, there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses.

It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging L1 (about $1.40) and coaches L5 (about $7.00).

This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn’t turn up for work.

“Oh well”, said Bristol Zoo Management-“we’d better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant”.

“Err…no”, said the Council, “that parking lot is your responsibility.”

“Err…no”, said Bristol Zoo Management, “the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn’t he?”

“Err… no!” insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (presumably) is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at L400 (about $560.00) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over L3.6 million
($7 million dollars- or $280,000 every year for 25 years)!

And no one even knows his name.

This is just amazing! I would be so nervous EVERY day, how did he do it, why so long and why didn't the Zoo know?

An exerpt from an article at Snopes.com

In reference to the Bristol Zoo, at least, this tale is purely the stuff of fiction rather than fact. The Bristol Zoo says it has never experienced any confusion over parking attendants, and that it has several attendants and more than one car park, none open to coaches. Moreover, in response to our inquiry about the tale, a Bristol Zoo representative told us:
We have had numerous similar enquiries lately but I can assure you that this rumour is not true.
A version of this story did appear in the Bristol Evening Post back in 2007, but it was as part of a feature on urban myths published to coincide with April Fool's Day, not as a reporting of a real-life event.
