Chests aren't really gambling. You're promised 1-3 items in each Chests and that's what you're given.
Dice long enough and you are guaranteed a win....

Yes you get something from chests but if you only get junk from a chest, then that equals a loss.

Buying 3 idol crates for 15-30k is not what you want. Chests are a form of gambling, because you hope to win something while the chance is very small you will actually get that item from the chest.

With dicing you hope to win something and sometimes you do and sometimes you will lose.

Buying gold with plat is not gambling though as you know what you are getting...ripped off is what but at least you know.

This post is redundant.

If people want to dice, let them.

It's just a video game.

They dice because they are tempted, 60x2 dicing plays with your desire to have twice the amount of gold at the possibility to lose it all. Temptation is easy to use in manipulation which is what fuels dicing and the gambling industry in general using math to profit though probability and chance. 50x2 would not be profiting it would be break even/possible win/possible loss. That's why people don't dice 50x2, mathematically to get profit you need to be gambling at at least 60% odds

Don't dice anything that you don't expect to lose, you should always expect to lose.

60x2 really has about a 20-30% chance of winning a large bet because they will scam and log off with your money.

Further 60x2 gives a 0% chance at winning in the long term, you will eventually lose all your gold even if the host is honest or you manipulate your bet size. The more bets you make the more you lose, that's why people host lol.

If a host scammed they could no longer manipulate every player on that likes to dice on the world making their customer base smaller and they wouldn't be making as much, a smart dicer won't scam, he will pay up knowing the person will give him back most of the gold with continued dicing because of greed for more and temptation of possibly being able to get it

A good chunk of the hosts are level 5-10 burner accounts that don't suffer from those problems. even on mains of a significant level there dosent seem to be any real concern over rep, at least on my server. It's too hard to determine if the host really did scam or the player was just a sore loser, virtually no one records or plays back dicing so it becomes a he said she said situation. Besides you never know when someone will sell thier account, then the new owner just rip people off untill they couldn't hold another gold piece or ley because of all the 'loaned' items.

I just don't understand why people do it. As much as I hate victim blaming - If you dice don't go crying to anyone because you are asking for it.
