Quoted from houseofpin:

Your hundred dollars is a thing of the past. I say go to the local casino and put another $100 on black and try to win it back. If that fails then do $200, $400, $800, $1,600.....your odds are excellent that you get it back that way (well over 90%). If that doesn't work well just think of the great story you will have to tell your friends for many years. Trust me, I have quite a few....LOL !!!

That's called the martingale and it's been a mantra of the suckers who keep casinos open for 300+ years. My surprise that you are championing this "strategy" is null.

Good luck to you....second thought play RED....however, wait for 5 blacks in a row before you lay down the $100.....that always works for me.....LOL !!! Or is it play Black and wait for 6 Reds in a row.....,

Because then you know for sure the laws of probability and physics have suddenly changed.

Quoted from houseofpin:

let me check my notes and get back to you.

You do that dude. Let me know what your notes say about palmistry and astral projection while you're at it.

It's at least a little bit poetic that in a thread where people are trying to help you after having been scammed, this dude is trying to volunteer you for the martingale, one of the longest running scams in history.

Quoted from Erik:

100% with you! Once I found out he wasn't just some Pinside jokester's alternate identity I actually read some of the posts.
If the pinball reality show gets made HOP has to be on it. B_R still #1, of course. And please let me see HOP making air quotes with his fingers when he says things like "penny fraud" and "personal visit"

Obviously he could just shout all the caps, but I wonder if he'd be able to vocalize the ellipses and the oft unclosed parenthetical aside.

Quoted from jjsrt8:

I don't know what you do for a living but 100 dollar is not something we just throw away and say oh well where we come I come fro neither if I were well off would I let it slide. Its the principle of this you can't take advantage of people like this weather its 50 dollars or 50 thousand it should be treated the same fraud. Good luck to you and your money you have to throw around I come from a lower class home you wouldn't get away with taking 100 dollars from me.. you'll have a bad time.

Dude. Don't feed this guy.

Wait, who am I kidding. Feed him, feed him. The results are almost tirelessly hilarious.
