if you believe the games are rigged and unbeatable why play

This is a very good question, and when it's asked, I never get a response that makes sense to me. Usually I see no response at all, to be honest.

I've asked that same question countless times and got no answer in return. I've even suggested that players who feel that there is something wrong get a new hobby or game. As another forum member posted once before: until you poll EVERY video poker player in the world, your small sampling of people who've said video poker is rigged means nothing.

Asking 20 people if video poker is rigged and 3 people say they think it is, is not a large enough poll.

Just when you have the answers, they change the question.

Several regular posters here have all the outward signs of having a serious gambling addiction. They are in denial but they literally can't help themselves.Throw in an apparent lack of understanding higher math and you have a disaster looking for an excuse.

Deleted, double post.

I think that everyone that makes these slanderous comments about IGT/Action Gaming video poker machines be banned from this site!

[QUOTE=b74]For the people who claim that positive games aren’t being played and also the people who claim proper strategy isn’t being used, please. Is that your argument every time? How do you come to the assumption that this is evident in these claims? Ive put the years in. I know the strategy. I’ve played the best games available. Read the books. Wagered the money. Spent countless hours on end. I really couldn’t care less if anyone believes it or not. I know the truth. I’ve seen the results.
It’s conceivable to me at this point that the whole theory of applying mathematics to the games of yesterday to the games of today on an even keel may be flawed. After amassing nearly 1000000 tier points at the top level and being comped very handsomely , I’ve finally given up my card. I’ve recently turned down a very enticing offer that would include free everything but airfare. They know if I come, I will play and play heavy. The only reason I mention these things, is to give naysayers an example that I wasn’t playing as a weekend warrior. I’m not fos. I’m proud for quitting and for smelling a rat. When you’ve spent a good fraction of your life pounding those buttons and enduring all of the garbage associated with these establishments then and only then will you have a reasonable opinion. I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck ... or at least your poor experiences.How did you catch on to the realization that something fishy (or ratty) going on as opposed to you just having a down year on legitimately random games?  What statistical method did you employ?  Which were your favorite games and casinos?  Did you use the whole advantage-player playbook?  Like drawings and mailers, big multiplier days, etc.?I highlighted a phrase in what you wrote.  Why did you use "may be flawed" as opposed to something like "is most certainly flawed" or "is clearly flawed"?It wasn't until I read through your post a couple times before I realized what "fos" meant.  I don't think I'd seen that acronym before![/QUOTE]

Who ever said that they lost?
If I was given a mathematical percentage return of 100.17% and only obtained a return of 100.5%, over my lifetime career of vp then I have not obtained the promised return.
