They even have interest groups, but I hear they try to talk you out of it so they can get all the money.

Actually gambling is more like a math equation, which is also what programming is so yeah I guess you're right.

because if you do it right your bets go from slightly -EV to slightly +EV which hurts the casinos bottom line and then they ban you. its not illegal but the casino will bar you from entering if you do much of anything that hurts their bottom line unless they explicitly tell you its okay to do, its a business after all

yeah, but people spend MILLIONS on phone games and never win a dime. by comparison, gambling is a much better use of your money. a 'whale' gambler at least might get a free buffet, while a 'whale' farmville player just has a fancy virtual lollipop tree or some poo poo

I'll let you in on my foolproof scheme only if you can find my shack in the eastern Kentucky foothills. Big Injun is watching me electronically so that's all you're going to get. Be sure to come with a check for 100 bitcoin.

I keep putting money into candy crush but I never win any back but I'm pretty sure that means a big payout is coming soon, what if it only takes one more try to get the big payout?
