Hit-and-run posting
Hit-and-run posting refers to a tactic where a poster at an Internet forum enters, makes a post, only to disappear immediately after. The term comes from the hit-and-run crime with auto vehicles, in which the driver hits another car or person causing an accident and then flees the scene. It is also known as making a “drive-by” posting, a play on the phrase drive-by shooting. The post often consists of a lengthy text making lots of claims that can be, but are not always, on topic.
To drive a car, you have to take a driving test, then you get your driving license.
The same should apply when using the internet. Those who fail to comprehend what is being said in a YouTube video would have their license revoked.
Wounded mate, wounded.
I remember Reel King on Sky Vegas 10 years ago. My budget was £25 and I was playing Reel King on 50p stake. I was down to my last 25p, so I switched to 20p for my last spin and it gave me 4 carpets that went for 70x (£14). Gutted that it didn’t happen on my normal stake, but at the end of the day, you are at the mercy of the random number generator!
1I think it’s subjective. If you are a Video Slots account holder, you can go the “RTP” section of your account settings which lists your personal payout percentages per slot from top to bottom. So those who played Bonanza will see a different RTP on their tables based on how well they fared on it.
@Stevie25 – I completely agree with your list too!
It’s nice that a lot of gamblers on here have similar views.
@Dune2000 – I sympathise about the gym / eating thing. I had a colleague once who was addicted to online games (Eve Online and World of Warcraft) and we had office jobs, so a fairly sedentary lifestyle. He would bring 2 rounds of sandwiches (so 4 slices of bread) for his lunch, would eat crisps throughout the day, and in the evening, he would always have a takeaway and drink at least 3 pints of beer. He weighed only 9 stone!
I would like a lot of waste cut from the world. Examples:
1) Where I work in the NHS, it costs close to £100 for our in-house department (Estates) to change a lightbulb. In the private sector, someone just gets a spare tube from the warehouse and bring a step ladder.
2) Big pharmaceutical companies charging £1000+ per box of medication because they hold the patents for those meds.
3) Investors buying property in London but leaving them unoccupied because they know the value will go up.
4) People who own more than 1 house.
5) Bankers who earn £16M plus bonus. Surely it would benefit more if 16 people were paid £1M each instead and they job-shared the role.
6) Perpetual wars.
7) Staff having to throw away excess (perfectly good) food, because if they eat it they get sacked at worst or their tax code gets changed at best.
8) Police resources being used to crack down on cannabis use when there are more serious crimes happening.
9) Millions being spent on trademarking or defending a certain shape such as the Kit-Kat 4 fingers, or Cadburys trademarking the colour purple. Those excess millions could have been spent homing the homeless.
So yes my wish is for some of the above to stop. Won’t happen though as we live under corrupt regimes.
1) I think the slots tease far to much especially the ones with character animation.
2) The rounding off the balance thing I can relate to its a nightmare
3) The ones that make a big fuss over a 15x win
4) The jackpot games that will let you get two of each pot then your next picks are all the mini pot
5) Slots that take far to long to bonus
6) Bonuses that pay very little or zero what’s the point it just a long way of giving you a small win you could get with a 5 of a kind low symbols.
Does anyone else look at the bonus and look at the amount spins it awards you and say well its gave me £xxx of spins for free. Do the games count that or is it just based on your stake x whatever the systems decides your getting?
Jackpot bells when you get a 15x win. Even worse is when 10x is classed as a big win! I think Blueprint and Big Time Gaming got the right idea where “big win” territory on Bonanza / Diamond Mine etc starts at 30x or 50x.
1Hey Sportsbetpunk, what was the outcome for this in the end? Fingers crossed for you that it quickly died a death. I’m guessing that you’re on Feb half term now?
In the Origin of the Outlaw section, there is an introductory thread called “El Bandito lays down the law!”
The obvious rules are no direct attacks / bullying, don’t post racist stuff and don’t post anything that is illegal. Could we extend this to begging-type posts too? Begging includes posts like “Hi please take this survey for my uni course project about online gambling”, which can come across as insensitive as we are gamblers here. These are normally posted by people with a post count of 1, so a way of stopping this is to make it so that you need to have made 10 posts minimum before you start a thread. I have seen this on other forums.
1) Certain bonuses where 4 scatters isn’t necessarily better than 3 scatters. An example of this is Sphinx Wild. 3 scatters gave me the initial £3 trigger and the bonus went for over 500x. A few months later, I had 4 scatters which gave me an initial £10 trigger but the bonus went for 0.
2) Zero bonuses in general. Any output of 0 from the RNG should always be displayed in the base game. A bonus should hold some substance.
3) Eye of Horus in general (bookies slot). I’ve given this so many chances and I’m absolutely rubbish on it. I’ve bonused it just once and it went for 10x. Yet I’ve seen people sat on either side of me hitting the £500 jackpot on a number of occasions now.
4) Watching people play Raging Rhino online. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a big hit on that slot.
1Very kind of you Lou.
@Diamedi they won’t take it down but they will remove the GFM link. You can only refer to it by the name of the fund raiser that people can then search for. Hope things turn around for you.
I clicked on the GFM link and it only gave me a blank page anyway. Just solid black background.
That Chilli Fiesta slot looks pretty much on par with what Red Gaming used to do with the fruit machines. You either had 30p standard play or you could play a 30p or 50p super wheel. Basically a pie gamble and if it won, then you would play the base game.
I was going by the thread question “What is everyone spending a month”.
