what people do in RL is none of your concern
if they are addicts,why do you give a damn?
the annoying part is after they are down to 0,they start asking money to almost every rich player they see online n we already have a topic for that
so this topic is pointless and must be closed |
| discussing the state is almost pointless. nothing will change. |
| use roulette blocker and thats it. |
no, roulette should not be removed.
casino, the owner of roulette, can lend money to the players who lose money gambling |
joechue this roulette is for my in game gold.
I think that you can do whatever you wna5t in games |
Woah, chill peeps, I'm only hypothesizing on the possible psychological impact of in-game gambling addiction and the ways that they affect our gaming community as a whole. Pure speculation and deduction based on my own observations whereby I understand that my views may not be shared by everyone else. That's why this thread was created: To voice our views on the subject. I'd love to know everyone's take on the matter.
For WtW: I'm sorry to you or anyone else who have been led by my statements to believe that I've been kinda OTT about this. :P
For shashwatme: Chill. No need to get defensive. I haven't accused anybody nor have I insinuated and deemed you as real-life gambling addicts with problems based purely on your in-game gambling habits.
For everyone: I'm sorry for my first post or earlier posts as I have realized, as Warwick has pointed out (Thanks) that I have gone overboard to the point of almost accusing people and insulting them or their real-life status based on my observations of in-game habits. For that I sincerely apologize and I can completely understand how anyone can react so defensively or uproariously at my statements. They were a bit OTT and I hope that nobody will harbor any hard feelings toward me or anyone else. With that I still hope that this discussion can continue less heatedly and I assure you that I will watch my words more carefully in the future. :D |
| its all business..its one of the attractive things in lordwm.. |
gambling addictions are best explained by B.F. Skinner's theory of operant conditioning. the specific motivator is a variable schedule of reinforcement which causes people to fall into behavior traps. it's the same principle casinos use in RL to 'hook' addicts
happy reading |
| Thanks for the input, Dionysus. I would have to agree at least to a certain extent as to Skinner's theory. I have to say that it is true that many addicts do stem from the behavioral conditioning stated in his theory. |
Hey I have an idea: Lets have a competition which player lost the most in roulette!
No rewards though, just for fun. |
Hi, in real life I don't gamble. Even I don't buy lottery tickets. But here I'm able to simulate some famous strategies for roulette for example strategy with doubling stakes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28betting_system%29
I just wanted to try if it so good that I worked fine, until I tried modificated version by me (stake on 0-00 split but not doubling stakes just slightly increase them to counterbalance loss): I was -300k at one day. I was pretty crushed, next time I tried this modification and I hit bottom: I was -600k total. Pretty nasty! I play roulette just to try those systems, and only in virtual life. My real money are very precious for me, and I try save them on on my own house, so I'm very cautious about what can I do with them. I don't want to be -600k in euros in real roulette! :D |
| nah this game just waste of money for fun i can download alot of casino games and have unlimited money to play in it instead of wasting my game money -.- |
Thanks i guess joechue?
Never gambled IRL and never will |
u can bet what the next number can be
IF U SEE THAT THE NUMBERS OF PLAYERS ARE ONLINE AND CALCULATE IT AND SEE THE RESULTS THAT IS ODD OR EVEN U WILL SURELY WIN
CHECK IT OUT !!!!!

| Thank you, kingderrick for providing the perfect example of the failed rouletter who doesn't know when to stop. You have about 300 gold, no resources whatsoever and have incurred losses of over 30000 in roulette, a massive amount at your level. I suggest you cease rouletting until you know when to stop. |
And the irony is... being addicted to LordsWM is our RL problem, whether we have roulette here or not.
;)
A bit offtopic perhaps, sorry for that... |
| Lol, feel free to express your opinion, stoter. |
I suggest you cease rouletting until you know when to stop.
nice paradox :) |
