My apologies if this is out of line in this forum, could be I'm just a little annoyed about my losses, in which case, if this is a normal execution of your algorithm i'll accept it easily, but what is up with this line of losses in RR?

I thought this was the one casino game that wasn't rigged? How am I losing to the same guy so many times in mere minutes? Is there some kind of script floating around that i dont know about?

I guess we can call this the File Drawer Problem

All the people who go on huge losing streaks post in the forums, all the people who go on what you think of standard streaks don't, so you end up seeing only the extreme side of things lol

I have seen a friend of mine lose over 20 times effectively bringing his networth from 12b to 64m oh well I have also seen him take his networh from 3b to 12b in matter of 3days. When is saw he hit 10b I just asked him to control his gambling as the outcome is either 1 or 0 and zero would mean losing it all. But you know he never listened. 

I also used to gamble before but more recently like 3 months ago I stopped cause I realized the house always wins and I’m very bad. I played poker once and I did win 10m but I have to attribute it to my luck as I just clicked the buttons on random xD

the losses aren't so much my issue, as it is the losses to the same person. (well, yeah i dont want to lose all my moneys of course). But if this is in the norm, then no worries, apologies for the whining about not winning.

 

I try to aim for the same hole each time to minimize the damage Pirate.

RR is NOT pvp. You are playing against the odds. Nothing your opponent does influences the outcome. That is the opposite of pvp. 
BEAST [2011090]

It's somewhat normal, I've lost 14 on the spin before...

Definitely frustrating though.

We all have bad streaks some times.

Sorry for taking all your money but it is called gambling for a reason.

Good luck in your future games.

Random events tend to occur in clusters - it's called "Poisson clumping" by statisticians. Perfectly normal - in fact, it would be very odd and seemingly artificial if you won every second time you played a 50/50 game of chance.
Sepulchrave [2092631]

Interesting point, and you're right. There are mechanics in RR that change the odds. All the same, my point was a general one. Statistical events tend to clump, and no one should be too surprised when they lose several games in a row.
TheGneeb [2145566]
