That runs counter to your opinion on piracy.
Stealing music is no worse or better than stealing movies and TV shows, it was just easier to do back in the late 90s

Piracy is tricky because if it's easily available legally I have no problem paying. I pay for Spotify premium every month. I use spotify a lot. I also pay for HBO Max (17 dollars a month) instead of Netflix
The times I have to turn to unauthorized sources are when shit isn't even streamed in America like NPB
That said I can easily pick up Premier League in America but prefer watching in Korean

Advantage players in slots are individuals who seek to gain an edge over the casino by identifying and exploiting loopholes, patterns, or favorable conditions in slot machines. These players rely on strategy, knowledge of specific games, or timing rather than pure luck. While slot machines are generally designed to be games of chance, there are specific situations where advantage players can increase their odds. Here are some common strategies and the advantages they offer:
### 1. **Exploiting Game Features**
Some slot machines have bonuses, progressive jackpots, or other features that can accumulate over time. Advantage players wait for these features to reach a point where the odds are tilted in their favor, such as when a jackpot is high enough that the expected return on bets exceeds 100%. This is called "banking" or "scouting" slots.
### 2. **Identifying Malfunctioning Machines**
In rare cases, slot machines may have a software glitch or malfunction that makes them more likely to pay out. An advantage player might recognize this pattern before it's corrected, allowing them to profit temporarily.
### 3. **Tracking Cycles**
Some slot machines (especially older models) might seem to follow patterns or cycles in payouts. While most modern slots use random number generators (RNGs), a knowledgeable advantage player might still be able to exploit occasional vulnerabilities in how these RNGs are implemented.
### 4. **Team Play**
In some cases, advantage players work in teams. One team member may monitor several machines, waiting for bonuses to accumulate, while another plays the machine when it's primed for a potential big payout.
### 5. **Bonus Hunting or "Couponomy"**
Casinos often offer promotions, free spins, or bonuses to attract players. Advantage players take full advantage of these offers, especially when they are structured in such a way that the player can win with a low risk of losing.
### 6. **Progressive Machines**
When playing progressive slots, advantage players look for games where the jackpot has reached a value where the expected value of playing the game (including the likelihood of hitting the jackpot) is in their favor.
### Key Advantages:
- **Higher Expected Value**: By waiting for favorable situations, the player can increase the expected value (EV) of their wagers.
- **Lower Risk**: These strategies reduce the risk of losing large sums of money by taking advantage of promotions or known favorable conditions.
- **Exploitative Edge**: Advantage players rely on skill, research, and timing rather than pure luck, giving them a slight but critical edge over the casino in certain scenarios.
It's important to note that casinos are aware of these strategies, and they often update their games or policies to mitigate such tactics.

Sports and horse betting can be beaten by placing arbitrage bets, which involve placing bets at different bookmakers who are offering different lines (odds). Many online sports books now offer bonuses like free bets or free money. These bonuses usually come with a stipulation that the bettor place a certain number of bets. For example, a site may offer a bettor $50 free if they deposit $100 and place a total of $1000 in bets. These can reduce the vig taken by the house or even offer the bettor a small advantage.

waiting until machines have a prime bonus or major is dumb

Wrong about that word not having racist overtones. Your team went to great lengths to change its name and culture but still wants to hang on to whatever bits & pieces of the past that they can just to appease the few that are still mad about the name change.
