New form of gambling

I just thought of this. I have a bank, events, with like 1000s of items, all from events. This will be a new form of in game gambling somewhat like dicing, accept up always win. If you see me on events, trade me, pay 1 k, and i will close my eyes, scroll up and down and randomely select an item. I have tons of rare items such as yulestaves and sunflower wands, midsummer, earthstone, and other things of sorts. So, either way,
You always win! But, then again, you could get a red crown.

This is a good idea but i think you should make it like you have 3 different banks and 1 bank is like yoi pay 500g and its sometjing closer to value, than 1k etc i people will play more and it will beifit you more for like es stuff maybe like 15k so you dont get cheated out of gold if someone gets es gear for 1k

Seems like you could just scroll through your bank until you find the lowest valued item and they wouldn't know the difference..

so the gamble part is the part where you give 1k and get a random item, or the part where you trust someone to do something just by a word? now for some people i take only words (those people know it) to be enough as reason to trust them. others i trust, but not without my own double checked security. then there are those that you randomly see shouting they are doing dicing games and you have no idea who it is, wich for many people you would fall under (not those specific people, just as in the category they belong to as well)... i doubt you would draw much clientèlle except maybe people that know you personally, or have so much gold they wouldnt care if they didnt get an item at all (referring to howxfast, amna, exile, mooocow, etc).

True, maybe not the best idea

the idea on its own is good, but there is simply too much to worry about to have a legit business in it. i mean just look how the people face the dicers, many even dare to call them scammers... dicing is a matter of placing bets, and trusting the host to be fair, this is the same thing, but without any way to varify if you are legit, while a dicer that doesnt pass money at a win, is easily reported. therefor i doubt it would stick, unlike dicing, wich is easier to verify. also with dicing, the most fun thing is to dice in low amounts, so that your total win or loss over a week is never more then 20k. with this, you could basicly just pick tons of mushrooms, and keep showing those. no one would give a -peep- about it, untill they find out 80% of your customers have been getting mushrooms for 1k each, where you made maybe 50k in a day with some unnoticing idiots that try it again or dont listen to people that tell them the trick.

to add in my previous posts:

i do like the effort you put in, thinking of ways to enlighten our server with games. just try to think them through a little more first, before presenting them.
good effort and thank you!
