Default Re: Why Current Online Win Rates Won\'t Persist

Tons of suckers go to vegas to play blackjack and slots every year and lose. Yet they go back year after year.

They also go for shows, meals, etc. Very few of them actually track how much they lose specifically to gambling. Many of them actually delude themselves into thinking they broke even or won a little bit. They can do this because all of their vacation expenses came out of the same pool of money.

Online, the losing player is faced with the prospect of having to refund his account. There is no way he can deny the cold reality that he is a loser, and many of them just quit at that point.
