I recently discussed the unusually bad results I had at a casino.

There are 3 assumptions I can make:

1) I was just unlucky that day.

2) The casino tampered with their machines so I could not win.

3) A combination of #1 and #2 above.

It's not productive to try to answer questions when the most important factors are never revealed to you. The VP machine won't give you a bell curve printout showing the position of your results along with everyone else (whose wins offset your loss). We can all truly never know for sure if we are getting a fair deal. Logically, if we always felt that we were not, then there would be no point in playing.

I would rather take my chances elsewhere after a strangely negative experience. I may not win. But, the odds are smaller that each time I will continue to always pick the unscrupulous casino and therefore generate odds-defying negative results. If I'm that unlucky, then it's time to call it quits anyway.
