Should WOV users who refuse to renounce claims of beating negative EV games have a Scarlet letter affixed under their Avatar? (or under the spot where the Avatar would be if they don't have one). Note: The original idea of a Scarlet letter allows redemption. "The scarlet letter is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes a powerful symbol of identity to Hester." But it would, in this case, require proof to have redemption.

I'd like to see EB with a Scarlet letter

I hear a rock concert has 2-tiered pricing. $18 if you're vaccinated, and $999.99 if you're not vaccinated. But nobody has to know what you paid. You can get everybody sick like a serial killer should.

I thanked you for paying absolutely no attention to the topic. Because there's no thumbs down.

What letter do users get who can't figure out how to beat a negative EV game. I can think of a couple..

Better yet, you could take half their money, go out back, kick them in the nuts, and call it a day! 🤪

Define, "Refuse to renounce."

you could educate the world on this subject if you chose too

you would be famous world wide - no one has ever done it

but I'm sure there's good reasons you don't want to be world famous

just as there are good reasons you don't want to be fabulously rich from your methods




but everybody knows the real reason you don't reveal your methods

it's not because you don't want to for some reason

it's because you don't have any method for beating a negative EV game





it's all nothing but a fantastical fantasy

Okay, that's probably fine. I didn't know if you meant that, or if you were saying something more like, "People should be required to argue against every single betting system post."

When I lived in Queens, my neighborhood had a guy who dressed like Teddy Roosevelt. Most days he wore khaki shorts,a khaki shirt, knee-length socks, sandals, and a pith helmet. He also almost always carried a sword. Occasionally a cop new to the neighborhood would hassle him but everyone knew he was harmless.
No one ever worried that some naive tourists might stumble into him and think all New Yorkers were batshite crazy or that he might sell the Panama Canal to some innocent.
Every neighborhood and every forum has at least one such person.
No one is going to cure them, change them or get them to modify their behavior so it is more acceptable to you.
Who cares?
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Come to think of it, math even supports cheating. Cheating literally only changes the odds but doesn't change how math works.

Can't get away from it.

(Maybe there's some exception I'm not thinking of.)

C'mon man! The point is, to hammer the truth nail. Until it goes into their head.

You can win at -EV.
You can lose at +EV.

A scarlet letter, flag, whatever... may help 1 in 20 change their ways.
I doubt that the juice is worth the squeeze.
May the cards fall in your favor.
