This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad's credit card was awesome.
15 years later and YouTube doesn't even know what gambling is anymore, lol.
Don't you dare remind me how long ago 2010 was
The Matrix is 25.5 years right now.
Jurassic Park came out 32 years ago...
You're going to hell for this 🤣🤣🤣
I hope I am! I named my dog Lucifer 😈
I want to gamble on Balatro.
Wheel got you covered
Nope!
I wish I had your restraint. EVERY time!
First three times I got the wheel it triggered.
I didn't understand the memes.
Then it never happened again.
But poly is going to fix all my problems!! At least thats what the OF model told me.
I don't care what the dev says: that thing ain't 1:4.
It's 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts, so fuck knows what the actual odds are.
It's 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts
Of course it does, or the odds wouldn't be 1 in 4...
If you flip a coin, you "start" a new set of 1 in 2 odds too -- that's what makes it always 50/50
Humans are bad at probability, and that's mostly why they gamble too.
Every wheel draw is supposed to be independent (it's not totally so because computer "random" is really a pseudo-random algorithm, but close enough). So every time you draw, the odds are 1:4. Previous draws don't matter.
On an infinitely large number of draws, you'd see a 1/4 success rate. This doesn't mean you can't fail a dozen times in a row (the probability of that is (3/4)^12, about 3%... It happens).
It's always 1:4 then but that doesn't mean in 4 goes you're guaranteed a win.
YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications "not certified by Google."
It's literally on the Play Store, rated at M.
Dunno why it's even rated M. Seems high for what it is
It's rated M because of moderators poor understanding of 'gambling'
Yet still youtube allows lootbox opening videos
