HyperNet Relay Welcomes Scammers 🎫

What does this have to do with the Hypernet?

I really need to toss a stick of chewing gum into the crackers for the parrot.

MB ThePhotographer’s momsister let them get on the internet and brag about how their state’s lottery is among the most profitable, and I pointed out how this is like bragging about how your state’s for-profit prison system has the most meth addicts. It’s at least as relevant a discussion as the OP’s idiocy and failure to understand math.

Ok…
Since it seems like you have difficulty reading. Let me ask again.

Nothing. But this thread has no further purpose so we might as well discuss off-topic things until it gets locked. It’s been more than sufficiently established that the OP is an idiot, as is anyone who tries to “scam” people by buying their own lottery tickets.

Thank you.

Lotteries

Are a tax on the stupid. And there are a ■■■■ of a lot of stupid people here in the first world (read: Americans). Else state lottos wouldn’t be a dime a dozen.

You can do a rough multiplication in your head, or just press WIN, enter calc, hit ENTER and do it yourself. Why would you want to help people who refuse to help themselves, or potentially don’t even care?

NO you can’t.
There is the additional cost of taking the time for it, of making errors. Those additional cost is what make it a scam.

You can’t say that one thing, is the same that the same thing with an additional cost. That’s just BS.

Hiding additional costs is a common way to make a scam. Also letting people believe something that should be true, but is not.

Example any vid of a game that does not use only ingame footage, or mix both without a clear distinction of what is the game and what is not, is a scam. So yeah CCP is used to scamming people in their game.

@Merin_Ryskin

as is anyone who tries to “scam” people by buying their own lottery tickets.

I already made a post explaining why it’s better to buy your own tickets when the hypernet offer is about to expire.

By far everyone who buys into any sort of lottery / raffle irl is not a gambling addict and it is worth emphasizing that buying into a lottery / raffle does not in itself mean that person is a gambling addict.

I did several drugs and I did not become an addict. Still tobacco, alcohol, and other industries rely on making people addict. Still I can see a lot of friends smoking, drinking, abusing cocain even when their child is in the same room (I never tried cocain/heroin, even when people proposed me).
Same for government : when they are run as a firm, they need to make their clients depending on them. With credits, with false security sense, gambling, etc.

@Merin_Ryskin

I’m not sure why you feel compelled to brag about how your state extracts money from gambling addicts instead of working for the benefit of its citizens, but I guess everyone has to find something to be proud of.

Though I agree that gambling is a net loss for the gambler, and thus making them gamble more is morally a bad thing, it must be noted that, like alcohol, it’s very difficult to prevent citizens from harming themselves. What can be done however, is to legalize on that tendency, so as to regulate, observe, prevent additional harm, and possibly heal people who are actually hurt. Just the same way that IMO drugs sales should be a public activity, restricted to government.

Many people are hiding very deep wound behind gambling, drugs, and other self killing tendencies. It’s morally better to get paid for taking care of those people, and if not help them heal, help them suffer less. Remember that if one does not want to see, rather than letting you open his eyes, he will poke them out. Your only action can be, to be present and help him, not to do stupid thing, but know that the day he needs help, someone will be here. And it will take time to remove the blindfold, but all you can give is time - some may call it love. And hope that one day people get better, but very likely they won’t realize what you did for them.

I’m not disagreeing with you on the morality of gambling benefits, however it’s important to note that the topic is much more complex.

[z0ra_Berg]

@Anderson_Geten

It’s morally

Morals are subjective.

[Anderson_Geten]

and water is wet.

[z0ra_Berg]

You’re one of those insisting ones, I see.

[Anderson_Geten]

You are out of argument but can’t accept your mad up BS, I see.

[z0ra_Berg]

Now you’re confirming you’re one of those insisting ones. Would it help you if I stopped responding to you?

@Nana_Skalski

You are still buying nothing or something. Because that is effect of the deal. Something or nothing.

I suppose you must be trolling because you can’t really be this dense. Do you not know what lotto gambling is? Last time - you give someone your money and hey in turn give you a ticket. That ticket is your “something”. It’s all you are entitled to. Now what’s special about the ticket is that it gives you a chance to win something valuable. But if you don’t win you didn’t get “nothing” as you suggest because you got that ticket. This is the essence of gambling. You get a chance to win - that’s it. Don’t like gambling don’t do it. But your suggestion that gambling is a scam because you can wind up winning nothing is idiotic, suggesting that either you are trolling or simply so dense that you are unwilling to accept the concept of what gambling is.

@Vol_Arm_OOO

Gambling is a scam when it suggest the price of the item is the price of the ticket.

Either you are trolling or simply so dense that you are unwilling to accept the concept of what scamming is.

[Wal-Mart_Greeter]

No matter what gibberish the trolls come up with… the truth is obvious. Cheating and scamming people is wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s allowed.

Think about this. A roofer comes along and scams your parents or grandparents out of $10,000.00. Never replaces the roof. Would you celebrate that?

[Uriel_the_Flame]

Vid’ya game =/= real life.

[Anderson_Geten]

And water is wet. So what ? Are you claiming that gambling in a video game won’t have any effect on real life ?

[Uriel_the_Flame]

Check my earlier posts in the main hypernet thread, I’m totally considering the hyperBet casino gambling and immoral. Still the fact remains his analogy was terrible. Nobody is scammed, everyone gets what’s agreed on, which is gambling. That’s all. If anyone, they scam themselves if they think they will magically win with such terrible odds. Still neither CCP nor the raffle creator are scamming anyone, a chance to win is offered which some people take. End of story. Don’t come up with an analogy that doesn’t fit, it will just hurt your narrative as shown in this and other threads and the opposing side will just exploit that for their advantage to discredit you.
