But again… It’s a raffle I would say almost like a raffle at your local school or community. Nothing stops a group of people to conspire to pool their tickets they purchase to share the prize. In EVE’s case it would be the use of alts.

Don’t like it don’t use it. I haven’t played hypernet at least 6+ months now. The outrage about this should be over by now.

Never underestimate the ability of the internet to continue an argument.

its advantageous for the cassino to have “fair” games  
that way people win and they have free advertisement  
if i could make a hypernet raffle super cheap and fair for the players i would  
the problem is the 5% hypercore + 5% taxes + profit that make hypernet a bad game

btw i will start to make raffles again  
others are a SCAM …  
im the only legit

This is exactly why states are forbidden from buying their own lottery tickets, IRL.

That is different, as nobody can prove that the owner of a real life lottery isn’t cheating when they draw their own ticket.

In EVE the owner of a raffle is not the one doing the drawing though - CCP’s hypernet system does that, which cannot be cheated as players do not have control over which ticket wins.

Therefore the rule of '_not being allowed to buy your own lottery tickets IRL’_ has little to do with buying your own raffle tickets in EVE: you can cheat as lottery owner IRL, but players do not have the tools to cheat the raffle draw in EVE.

Is anything truly random? Even in Eve, the hyper net owner might be using occult magic or astrology to improve their advantage.

Truly random? No, it’s probably semi-random and using a seed. But as we players have no insight in the randomness of the hypernet it wouldn’t be any different in practice if it were truly random.

i used to play the most expensive slot 24/7 + raffles even sleeping (on iPad)  
one day i won alll ships in the game in a prize  
one day 70 billion isk  
back them isk became meaningless to me… like a acid trip or sumting  
why do anything else in the game? Im not a F hobo pfff  
wen EVIL CCP banned gambling they F me hard because all gablers mess with Uber variation  
never grinded again anyway

thats wat they say but Sklansky lived well by gambling  
negreanu is better  
i know the old stuff

edit:  
people say that poker is a skill game  
Sklansky was not a poker player , he was a professional gambler  
he start the book saying , poker is gambling , he loooooooves math  
nowadays negranu used the old knowledge and developed on top of it , new concepts , new stuff , is beautiful , but i don’t play anymore , i prefer to watch 4 hours videos on philosophy an psychology

edit2:  
and in how to get chicks OFC  
i don’t need it ( i had chicks since my 18s , thats some 20 years ++++ )  
but old habits die hard i guess 😛

Revisiting this thread regarding the Hypernet Relay one month later

My findings are;

Very addictive fun and exciting.

Hypernet is a great idea, maybe some bad implementation here and there.

e.g. the opening, blue you lost, golden you won. Ofc CCP is stoopid, took all the rush away. Also make the animation optional.

But, the real culprit is the fact people think they know statistics, but they don’t.

Winning a Gila with a 1/512 is very satisfying. 🕶 Ofc it’s not going to happen a lot, to be honest I don’t think it’s gonna happen again (to me)!

No worries guys, statistics is hard, and no irony here, just be humble and accept you don’t understand it.
