If you don't intend to be a traditional everquest casino (AKA scam people,) then please, for the love of god, use a calculator. I was just wandering through the bazaar today when I heard a shout.
soandso shout "Casino open at stables! /rand 1000, 600+ gets twice your money, under 600 gets half your bet back!!!"

Now. Anyone else see something wrong with that? Noting the rather favorable odds I headed over. I placed a 20 plat bet to start with, then doubled my bet after each win. Thanks for the 18kplat. Next time, perhaps, make sure your odds are favorable to you? It helps to have a calculator sometimes too, that way you don't try to payout 7k when you should be paying 5.5k... (I actually told her about that, although I didn't bother pointing out that her odds were less-than-favorable.

Most people don't know how to calculate odds. It's just that simple. Usually, the casino folks at using that to their advantage by fleecing people over time with the odds. Um... This one was just dumb...


(.6*.5)+(.4*2)=1.1

On average each player will win 10% more then he bets each round...
