| Low Maxes Players or Owners fault? |

|
CaptainPlanet is back and Im here to talk about the casinos once again. But this time it is nothing that is wrong with the game, but rather the players of the game. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the low nature of the maxes and how people with a ton of money hold the popular casinos with low maxes. Even I have been a owner who held his BJ with a low max, but then I began to open up this reset and had a max around 35K whenever I was able to be in my state with my BJ. Now we will take a look at the arguments of both the better and the owner.
The owners argument is that A) They do not have enough money to hold a high max bet or B) They raise the max bet of their casino and nobody plays on it, as I have seen happen once in a while when they say so on the GF. For part A, I say that if you are going to hold the casino and not have enough money to actually do anything with the casino, then why are you holding it in the first place? All you are doing is making a casino stagnant and basically you have shut down the casino, without gaining or losing any money. Being a casino holder should be as much as a gamble as being the gambler. For part B, I see the players as the fault of this, for you know that the only reason people complain about low maxes is exactly how Sabin put it in BL Buzz #12, they want to make a double up theory without having any means of losing money for 8 or so bets. I used to do this, but when I realized that on the 6th bet I was betting 200K to win 5K, I quickly stopped doing this. Enough of my (bad) betting strategies, on to the players arguments.
Players argue that owners A) have low max bets even when they have a ton of money or B) that owners hold casinos just to have their name on the states page. For A, there are 2 exceptions that I can find when a low max bet is ACCEPTABLE. First, they are offline, and I find this OK so that they do not lose their casino. However, if they are on like once a week, its stupid to own a casino. And second, they are not in the state that their casino is in. I liked to lower my max if my profits were going low and raise my max when profits were going high, and it makes you feel more secure. For part B, does anyone find it harder to find your name on the states page now that we have the new configuration? I do, and if someone finds it infuriating enough that they alway see you with a low max, you might find yourself demoted to the stats page right below.
Now, I dont get to mad at owners who have low maxes and a lot of money, but I get disappointed, for I see a casino turning into a worthless property. Mastersam2, my old Team America Boss, made $10 million in 5 minutes with an unlimited max bet on a RT once, so the money is out there for the casino owners. Its just if they want to gamble to get it.
Until next time, CaptainPlanet signing off.
