Faith play a role in your gambling?

[Proofreaders2000]

Does your faith play a role in your gambling?  I know when I first started, as a Christian it came to me I should exercise self-control.  (Bible, Prov. 16:32). 

[MauiSunset]

As an Agnostic ultra-conservative Republican I must confess that the only faith I have is in the odds displayed at every Roulette table; they don't change no matter how good of a person you are or if you are a mass murderer.


They don't change if you pray or if you offer a human sacrifice.


They don't change if you wear a white collar around your neck or a bow-tie.


Faith in a supreme being can't help you with Roulette.


Sorry to break the news to the true believers.


But I believe many here put faith in the silly idea that Roulette can be broken - it can't folks......

I consider the money I lose and the poor I could have helped.  Not a good enough person to quit and help them in the future; I'll still gamble.

....and then there's the guy with the $75,000 worth of bass fishing equipment.  And the guy who spends, what, $500; $1,000, on a new driver.  And the woman who pays $25,000 for a face lift and is still ugly.

I consider what little I lose as a form of entertainment.  My preacher drives a $50,000 pick-up and he could be driving a Kia and give the difference to the poor.

We only get to Christian heaven by the Grace of God, anyway.

And while God doesn't help me win, He's there with me betting virtual.

Balance.....

Can you be more specific other than just a one word answer?

It would be like.....posting at an Irish Food forum but you are NOT Irish and you hate Irish food. It would make ZERO sense to post there.
Usually (not always), the "you cant win crowd" have put in a total of 9 hours testing/studying roulette methods. After the 9 hours...."f**k it, I give up".

Most here believe that Roulette "can be beaten" - no proof is ever offered nor is there just ONE scientific paper proving this claim.  This falls into the category of "faith" - something has has absolutely no scientific proof but folks want to believe in it for various reasons - kind of like Santa Claus.

I'm just a Roulette gambler that believes the best you can do at Roulette or any game of chance, where you are playing against the casino, is the stated odds.

For whatever reason folks believe in the opposite - I consider myself the other side of the crazy belief that "Roulette can be beaten".

If you have proof in the insane idea that "Roulette can be beaten" please present it - I can't wait..............

"I'm just a Roulette gambler that believes the best you can do at Roulette or any game of chance, where you are playing against the casino, is the stated odds" >>> Yes but we *ALREADY* know where you stand on this issue, so AGAIN, your POINT of posting here is what?

Oh, I get it - this is a debating trick.


OK, well then answer me this - why do you post here if you can't prove what you believe in?  Show me the proof that Roulette "can be beaten".  You know you can't and have to deflect that question with silly questions.


Can't wait for the same question - I will just reference back to this post.....


Come on you've got to be better at debating this using this old trick....

[MrJ]

You seem to be low on sleep or something, lets try again....


YOU >> You have *ALREADY* stated (many times) that roulette can not be beat ('beat' is open to interpretation by the way). So if we know your view (I do respect your view), *WHY* continue with the same message? Its a SIMPLE question, no tricks.

WE >> Continue to discuss, share, test, play, study etc. methods. Your VIEW does not/will not slow us down. We (in general) do NOT say...."all method players win at this game and you can't".

I have brought this point up dozens of times before >> I find it strange that the "you can't win crowd" will continue on and on and on with their message (you gain nothing repeating yourself) BUT the folks who study methods, simply post......"here is my idea guys, try it out if you wish".

That's all, very little jamming it down other posters throats. In a weird way, the "you can't win crowd" feel threatened or something, odd as hell is all I'm saying. Now I'll watch your next 25 posts and MOST of them will be....."You can't win at roulette", okay, we know your view and we thank you for it.

You sound paranoid to me.....

[MrJ]

Wouldn't 'paranoid' be....posting the SAME message (you cant win) over and over again? I'll make you a GREAT OFFER !!!

If you never post here again, I'll put in my SIGNATURE, your name and your message of...."you cant win at roulette".

Deal? I dont see a big difference sir. Your SAME message will be getting out and it saves you a ton of time posting in the future. Think it over and get back to me on that.

Like I said you, sound paranoid - maybe you know something we don't???

[MrJ]

Like I said you, sound paranoid - maybe you know something we don't???

....and you see, your MESSAGE continues on.

So the ANSWER to my offer is what? ......YES or NO?

[MrJ]

The ***ONLY*** people who continue on with...."you cant win" have been burned quite heavily in the past and this is their way of venting. It does not put the lost money back in their pocket but it makes them feel a little better, misery loves company.
