Yeah, but I still like to play a round of Keno once in a while when I have $10 in my pocket. Then again I'm also not the kind of person who believes in having set numbers, I always autopick. People get really angry about their numbers. Like they have to play it every time, and how they're watching the numbers and 12 and 33 are coming up a lot so you should totally play them today!

one of my favorite stories about casinos is that roulette was dying in American casinos until someone got the idea to put a little board showing the last 20 spins in front of each wheel

then people would see it waking past and say:

HOLY poo poo it's come up red 12 of the last 15 spins *throws money on black because it's due*

or

HOLY poo poo it's come up red 12 of the last 15 spins *throws money on red because it's obviously somehow biased toward red*

I remember hearing a year or two ago about how they're trying to develop a more "skill based" slot machine to appeal to them. Basically slots are where casinos get all their money, that's why they're filled with them. "Kids these days" basically find no joy in spending money to pull a lever, and sometimes get some money back. Me I'm partial to blackjack, which has the next worst odds, but at least there's some strategy involved in that.

i thought you could find slot machines with near 50% odds and those were the best value in a casino

that's pretty nuts.

SSI is mostly based on income and financial accounts. Social Security is, thankfully, for the most part, not needs tested, although SS disability is based on ability to work. If anyone ever tries to make SS needs tested, fight that poo poo. The $2,000 limit is largely state aid stuff, like foodstamps and medicaid. I'm specifically speaking from knowledge of PA guidelines, but I believe most states are similar.

Most everywhere is hardcore about how much value you are allowed to own, excepting your own house and property, because so many voting olds end up relying on it eventually while still being the owner of a property they live in.

:lol: sounds about right.

Luck is real to people, and I actually had an engineer tell me that it was a bad idea to not use the same numbers every time on the lottery. I just want to throttle these people and tell them that there's no luck counter, it doesn't just build up until you win.

Back in LF there was a special poster named Brother_Aziz, whom we usually just called BroAziz. Among other things, he claimed to be a gay adult convert to a Nation of Islam splinter group, living with a shut-in transgendered boyfriend in some squat in South Boston with a pirated internet connection. For reasons that are too long to go into (and would require significantly more backstory than I'm interested in typing right now) he convinced a lot of posters that the main reason he was an unemployable loser was his lack of decent interview clothing, and so managed to scam like $3000 off of good-natured idiots, which he then either blew on three pair of designer jeans or pocketed outright (his story changed several times).

During all of this I, and many other LF posters, laughed at the marks who fell for it all.
