poster bias
Thread Rating:
Is this something you think people need to show and have verified before they post?
Many of us learn through time about people on here and then determine what you do with any information they provide. I believe most of us know not to believe everything we read on the internet.
I'm in agreement with this. We have a few verified casino employees here who have been helpful, upfront and positive posters.Quote: BozMany on here has stated what they do and what segment on the industry they are in.

But as I've said at least a few times, I deal craps in Las Vegas.
Quote: AlanMendelsonIt might be worthwhile if we knew who has a relationship with casinos. The bias of being a dealer or manager of a casino might come into play in various discussions. I would not ignore the danger of disinformation.
What about the bias of people with pre-conceived ideas of dice influence, casinos being bad, dealers not deserving tips, dice being unbalanced, etc etc etc. Is everyone supposed to label themselves for your convenience?

Your implication appears to be that casino employees are more likely to be liars than the average person. Is this really what you believe?Quote: AlanMendelsonIt might be worthwhile if we knew who has a relationship with casinos.

Granted it's not reuqired to fill out, and anyone can put anything. And, if a casino was dead set on putting a plant on here they would be intelligant enough to work around any occupation filters that there were.
But biases can come in any form, sure employees might be more keen to give casinos the benifit of the doubt, but likewise APs, might be keen to always side with other APs... everyone has a bias on touchy issues relating to legal actions in casinos.
Attempting to vet people to prove they have never been a casino employee would be impossible unless the site demanded SSNs and full personal history, and ran an employment history and background check, and even that is not full proof, and casinos can easily hire contractors to post in their favor, so that would be almost pointless.
And, if the site demanded all of that info, they would probably lose the majority of the current posters.

What "danger?"
What"disinformation?"
Alan, if you seriously believe that casino employees come here to deliberately plant false information in hopes of furthering some murky agenda, I'm afraid you're probably experiencing a paranoid delusion.
What specific post or series of posts caused you to distill this belief?
However, I suppose there is something to fear of AP's on here giving out truthful info on plays and casino employees recognizing it pertains to their casino and moving to surreptitiously shut down such activities.
There is nothing to do in this scenario except keep lips shut. Loose lips sink battleships (and since Alan asked in another thread, there is an example of the word loose being a real word).
EDIT: he actually said loosing is not a real word so we can't have AP's go about loosing secrets to the world haphazardly, we never know who's listening :)
Assume no one works for the casinos if it doesn't matter. Example--the stuff on the gaming commissions position on dice sliding being a way of cheating and dice setting/influencing/control being a means of rolling the dice randomly just like everyone else (until real scientific proof of an individual's ability...blah, blah, blah....) is public info.
Edited for ugly typing mistake, sorry

The same could be said for those who are adamant believers in systems, DI, magic monkeys or other aspects of gambling.
Should there be a classification for those with gambling addictions? casual gamblers? poker players?

How about one which reads egotism from all directions?

Sounds like a boner not a bias. :)

Well, this might be the most unproductive thread from you ever, Alan. I like very much that we have a mix of pros, from those in the casino business directly, to those who supply them, to those who use them, and most everybody has self-identified their role. I would hope no one took themselves to be less than welcome here with this kind of pot-stirring. And I do think it's worth knowing a little about most of the regulars so their "bias" can be taken into account, but anybody who posts garbage generally gets called on it, Like now.
We also need an label for everyone regarding their attitude towards gambling in these categories:
"Advantage Player"
"Recreational Player"
"Betting System Player"
That way when I ask a question and get an advice from a "Betting System Player" I know I can safely ignore that.
Quote: NeutrinoI fully support the idea.

This would be higher on the list than "where do people work" is.
Quote: JohnzimboPlease...nobody ask Alan what is the only casino game the player fully controls. That lame discussion might never end
Are you saying he might be bias, without the availabilty of proven facts??
Now I'm starting to agree about this declaring your bias thing. I am asking anyone who has a bias for or against cata, dogs, casinos, dice, dealers, religion, vegitarians, police officers, politicians, construction workers, the USPS, bigfoot, France, the NHL, corn dogs or spiders to disclose this before commenting on any and all posts I participate in.
Thank you.

I love bigfoot: he was the first DI, and the Captain's mentor (Alan scooped it and reported it first).
what exactly IS that DANGER?Quote: AlanMendelsonIt might be worthwhile if we knew who has a relationship with casinos. The bias of being a dealer or manager of a casino might come into play in various discussions. I would not ignore the danger of disinformation.

How about if you combine more than just one category? Crossover hybrids should be allowed. And in my case the percentage of each category varies from session to session.
J/K: That's no more absurd than Alan's original suggestion.
