SwreeTak Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Frankly - it's a scam depending entirely upon who the dealer is. Which means that 90% of the time, it's a scam. :rolleyes: Exactly my opinion too. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 As time goes on, lasting impressions will establish themselves. A few dealers (or groups of dealers) will gain an honorable reputation, and will be more trusted. At least, that's what I hope happens. I don't really want to see another case of creative thinking in RuneScape get abused by scammers and cheats.Unless someone gives you 20/3 times the cash for win, it'll never be a good idea to even play the game. With duel arena boxing you atleast know you have a 50/50 chance to win, but playing this game at anything less than even odds is just stupid. And not to mention, the whole sceam reacks of scamming. At 4 times profit margain, it's a 38/62 game.In that case, let's ban all lotteries, bookmakers and online casinos. Hell, let's just bulldoze Las Vegas. No one here is denying that gambling is a form of regressive taxation. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most flower games are legit if they're offering to triple or quadruple your coins (without a minimum bet set up).If they're offering a santa hat, BGS or other items they can't offerto give away for like a 500k minimum bet then NO [cabbage] it's a scam. I played this a few times and I was given back my reward without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 So if someone wearing full green dragon wielding an oak shortbow stakes against someone in Torva wielding a BGS, and loses, it's a scam? The odds of me winning the National Lottery tonight are slim to none. Is that also a scam? I call it stupid. But it's not a scam. Scamming involves a false pretense. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scamming involves a false pretense.Lotteries and betting are regulated so what they take is around a 3% tax from playing them(on average), but the profit margain for this sort of gambling is just too large to not be considered a scam as most of the players likely don't know that they are giving their money away.

foursideking Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Controlled gambling? 99 percent of all 'controlled gambling' is in fact illegal by either the laws that punish it or the crimes that happen afterward. Flower game I guess is technically a scam, but so is every game between 2 random strangers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
