      XPost: rec.arts, alt.politics, us.politics       XPost: alt.religion       From: hyaeyhaeyhaeyhaeuhutrh@hotmail.com              Ron Paul: Why Obama Is Wrong on Libya              Never unlawfully un-constitutional CRIMINAL       with the enemy Rightards. When Ron Paul's       fellow Republican gang rapists rape more       American women, would you still not say as       an American Rightard media censor, 'that's       wrong where we once obeyed laws.' on prime       time? by not bringing up the fact that the       criminals are not doing what is asked of       ourselves being lawful? Gadaffi DID call a       cease-fire.. so, what the fuck man?                     you know what is right, though you may still       be blind, never too late to change your       mind, we are all in agreement, in truth we       rise, evil is just the deceived disguised...                     STAND TOGETHER OR DON'T              Our Gambling Problem              Instead of our government deciding what       services we need and are willing to pay for,       they'll have us think that by actively       promoting gambling to those we can take       advantage of, somehow serves them right, and       us well. This abnormal behavior is not only       destructive to many cheated players, their       families and friends, but also to our       institutions, government, and economy. You       may have heard some say, that gambling is a       tax on stupidity, and here are only some of       the reasons why. This information is for       you to judge, think freely, ask the       questions, then pray your wrong. The whole       VLT system our government uses is so deeply       flawed it's beyond belief. They count       credits as dollars, reporting to trusting       economists and reporters, a payout of 96%.       They will tell you they're needed because       otherwise the victims of manipulation would       travel to the states before the local state       casinos to spend their last two bucks, and       they should, their odds are a real deal       better. There are no checks and balances in       place as there is normally to regulate tax       revenues. Nobody in the corrupt gaming       commission, MLC, AFM in fact Canada has       looked at the computer code, and in Montana       where they have, they've made them illegal       to operate. They're not stupid. Some of       the possible new car owners at the MLC,       state that the machines run on a random       basis. They have deduced this by testing       that they are computers and can simulate a       random number concluding presumably that       every computer program is just an act of       chance. I guess the free cars to some in       management make this easier. If this is       true, how come no one ever wins more than a       $1000? If, as they claim, it is random,       occasionally one might win $33 billion by       starting at 125 credits doubling 30 times.       Get a deck of cards and a calculator and       try! Your odds are slim, but at least you       have a chance. If this type of       psychological manipulation is to be allowed,       why not physiological as well. Why not put       an odorless chemical right on the pay slips       that would leach through the players skin,       causing them to act against their better       judgment? Body and mind? Here's a tip:       Bar owners are privy to much statistical       information, that we, the general public are       not. If they play, your being really       stupid. Also the machines are filthy, wash       your hands. You see, they're trying to turn       us against each other, into one of them,       blinding us, making us lash out and cheat       our weaker brothers and their families, if       it means we can drink their blood (190+       suicides last year). But in truth, we are       all being bled. BAH HA! It is a pure       regressive tax, no attached goods or       services! Billionaires own freezers and       stacks of paper! These players are REAL       consumers, shopping and moving the economy,       if they hadn't lost all our money. Filmon       was right wing when he called in gambling       for the stupid. Was not the reason for       forcing the VLT's into our homes to protect       us from casinos? Were we not warned that if       you remove what would normally be consumer       dollars from an economy, there would be less       there? If you call the gaming commission       they take 4%, Manitoba lottery books say       30%, but in truth they take all they take.       They pull in 191,000,000- (not mentioning       92% casinos and the shut down of Crystal,       not enough money in an honest game of cards,       and all those losing free $2 ticket tickets)       in revenues each year. If you divide       revenues by 4813 odd machines, 313 odd days       a year, holy Christmas, if they return 96%,       that's close to a payout of $3000 every day,       every machine! Why don't we take 40%? We       could advertise the best odds in North       America! It works well in Vegas, where they       actually give players a chance with games of       chance, and because more than 50% of the       players are from out of state. In Oct 97,       Nova Scotia gaming Corp. head Ralf Fisk       quit claiming his concerns were ignored, and       his power was stripped. In Dec 97, 5 of 6       B.C. gaming commissioners quit stating they       felt they were made redundant and could       provide no significant contribution. I       guess the major media doesn't think this is       worth knowing! If your lucky enough to get       a hold of any of the receipts that come out       when the machines are opened, or tilted,       you'll see that if you count actual       game-ply, some bars, are taking 70%+ of the       games and giving you all the credit.       Churning of credits with many NON- random       events, and prize amounts are critical in       determining how much is actually removed and       returned to our communities. Why don't we       promise a payout of 99.9%, we can still take       the same amount of the dollar. Couple extra       play 5 win 5 backs, walla! Some gaming       (don't say lottery! VGT's?) information is       classified information, so there are only a       small tiny few, who might know all the       details, but refuse to tell anyone, some by       law or maybe threat. They destroy "gaming       operations" records (VLT's and casinos)       yearly, but keep employee's names for fifty!       (under MLF0028) Their argument, that makes       it illegal, for anyone to publicly disclose       the actual dollars, on a site by site basis       was "site-holders could gain an unfair       advantage if they knew what their       competitors were taking in" How? Don't they       already have one? If you average it out,       bars are making close to ten grand a machine       per year, Just provide an addict a seat, and       you can still pay your waitresses minimum       wage. People can be addicted to many things       like VLT's or peanuts, and they can be       equally motivating, but they have different       consequences. It's nearly impossible to       consume 500 dollars worth of peanuts in 2       seconds, and how many entertaining peanuts       are there, that leave you smiling and filled       with glee? Mr. dealer will you help these       addicts see? If you deposit a hundred       thousand and then cash out without playing,       it's now short four thousand, and the bars,       more flesh for the pound. If these bars       were ever caught committing such an act,       they'd get a wink and 2 days of profits       taken, instead of time in Stony Mountain.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
