It’s becoming rather obvious here, when you disagree with any poster you go through extremes to take their words out of context and put a spin on them trying to make that poster always look ridicules.
I didn't say anything to "make" you look
ridiculous. If anybody thinks your post was
ridiculous it is nothing to do with me....I didn't write it.
I’m also glad your personal results have not altered much over time. But many veteran online gamers who have been playing the same games, the same way, with the same bankrolls, after a decade are noticing obvious changes. Why do you always blatantly conclude whenever a veteran online gaming poster starts complaining about results, and not results from a few bad sessions, but results from a good amount of time and money invested, that the player must be responsible for a number of factors?
Thanks for the congrats on my results
Why do I often (not always) suggest (not conclude) that a player's results may be (not are) influenced by factors under their own control? The reason is because in just about every case (even mine)
they are. Choice of game, choice of bet, choice of casino, size of bankroll, etc ,etc all have a huge impact on your bottom line.....and the reason I
suggest this is that the majority of members who constantly complain about "the games are rigged" or "something has changed" "<insert generic complaint here>" base their theories on the fact that they lost. We hardly hear about when they win, and we don't see the essential figures such as how often they took a bonus, what games, bankroll, whether they
could have taken a profit but chose not to, etc etc. Mostly I see ranting because they are mad that they lost, and I know because I used to be one of them....until I got smarter.
It's also interesting to use the wayback machine and read all the same complaints 5+ years ago......if they have been reducing the RTP each time that someone here suggested it there would be no players left because it would be about 5%

.
Not once have I read you giving a complaining veteran the slightest bit of credit other then in obvious casino rogue behavior cases. I’ll admit there are some posters we all can conclude come from Mars, but your one way street behavior is becoming very suspect. Many of your responses in these situations are logical but not confirmed either. This is why most members think you were a shill planted here to help maintain integrity for the casinos.
Not the first time you've suggested this, and once again you don't have the guts to say it outright.....much easier just to say "everyone else thinks"
Would be interesting to have a poll asking "Do you think Nifty29 is a shill planted here to help maintain integrity for the casinos?".
What a
ridiculous thing to say.
I give many "veterans" a lot of credit, because most of them know how it all works and don't carry on like a pork chop each time they lose. Most of these members understand that RTP cannot be calculated from one person's
partial results (we are never given all the information only what the whinger wants us to hear) or even a handful of partial results. It doesn't work like that.
The reason I brought up the UIGEA and the timing of that thread trying to figure out game settings, was nothing more then an assumption that these intelligent people weren’t having a contest for fun, but were personally concerned about payouts for some reason or another at that time the thread started. Your sarcastic comment that the UIGEA didn’t list mandatory reductions in RTP’s, is just another indication of you trying to make me look foolish, like everyone else who writes anything negative about the Wild West online gaming environment.
You suggested that the minute the UIGEA was passed, all the operators dropped their RTP by xx%. What the UIGEA did was force many operators to invest in other markets and the good ones have and will continue to thrive without deliberately ripping off players.
Again, if you look foolish that's down to you.....I didn't write your post.
You also know from my previous posts that I no longer gamble online almost a year now. Yet you insist on saying quote: “If you're still playing 4OAK then, based on your claims, you are knowingly being ripped off by liars and cheats who advertise fake RTPs....and that would be just ridiculous”.(end quote) Because I personally concluded online casino gaming is no longer for me doesn’t mean I’m not still interested. I enjoy staying current with the hopes that in the future it will change enough for me to feel comfortable returning, since quitting has put a big void in my old man pastimes.
I have no idea how long you haven't been gambling or that you still aren't, probably because I don't give a rats.....hence my statement commencing with "if" because I didn't know.
So, it doesn't apply to you then does it?
I guess when all these RTPs are returned to 125% like "in the good old days" we will see you back at the tables!
In addition you could believe whatever you want with RTP settings. But since you can’t confirm for fact what they actually are other then what a casino wants to tell what their hired help RTP conclusions are, you have every right. Many players would rather get that information from an enforcing regulator which by the way doesn’t exist online. You could list all the alleged regulating agencies you want that exist in all different parts of the world. But even a person with one way views like yours has to know better based on the last decade.
If you actually think and believe that for example RTG has only 3 RTP settings with the lowest being 92%, well good for you. But don’t keep trying to convince everyone else what you assume without any proof to be correct.
My information has been gleaned from several sources, one of which is Bryan Bailey......have you heard of him?? Well I tend to trust his word as it has proven to be very accurate over a long period of time. Sure, he sometimes gets it wrong, but I'll place my $1 on what he says being the truth over a few serial ranters and "conspiracy theory inventors" who claim to have "damaging irrefutable" evidence that ends up being....well.....
refuted....but hey it's more about the attention for these people right?
As for my "one way views"......LOL....I love it when people say this because it a serious case of choosing the bits you want to choose. I've supported players against casinos on many, many occasions and made quite a few "enemies" among the casino reps.
Mind you, I take care only to oppose the reps whose casinos aren't paying my salary as I don't want integrity or any other
ridiculous matter to get in the way of my bread and butter.....
When it comes to online gaming in its present form, what you, I, or anyone else says, hears, or believes, should only be viewed as an opinion, since nothing could be confirmed. You know nothing more then anyone else here when it comes to online gaming, so please stop acting like you do.
Oh, of course. It's all opinion. Some can be substantiated, and some cannot.
Actually, there are infinitely varying levels of knowledge about infinitely varying topics related to online gaming and there absolutely
are people whose knowledge in many areas
is greater than others. In my case, my knowledge comes from long experience and passionate interest and I know for a fact that I know 1000000 times more now than I did 10 years ago......but hey, if you think everyone is equal when it comes to knowledge then that's your opinion....but then you don't know anything more than anyone else here so.....
