Whilst you're gettinig (sic) a feel for changing the world in a way which will only hurt your long-term aims, I'll be wherever actually doing things that make mathematical sense.
But I will come vote on your "poll" - with my "gut" - and so will all the shills, and everyone who has a vested interest one way or another - and the end result is that you won't just have a mathematically skewed and incorrect table of results, you'll have an intentionally screwed with table of results.
Now either you understand this or you don't. If you do understand the basic logic of what I'm saying, and you insist on proceeding, I will insist on asking why? I will push you to find out what vested interest you have in creating a poll which delivers a table of false results.
If you don't understand, just ask the smartest friend you have if what I'm saying is true. Or I can give you some Wikipedia links to educate yourself on basic mathematics as they apply to variance, statistical data and representative sampling / selection bias (customers v shills):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance
(This above page on variance is actually a lot of fairly complicated and boring maths. All you really need to realise is that a Slot that pays out Jackpots which comprise of thousands of units or more - are going to be
very HIGH variance gambling. High variance = even an objective observer will get the answer wrong almost every time (except when they hit a jackpot - then they will *likely* get the answer right]).
