Is OT Now Being Moderated?

I just responded to a thread where some guy who is now banned was
trying to teach somebody a horrible gambling system and after making my
post I was greeted by a message that after approved by a moderator my
post would be posted.

Anybody know anything about this?

    Steve,

    It is moderated. Apparently right at the time you posted he was getting banned. I saw the guys's post before he was banned and the post deleted. He was banned for insulting you and Alexa. He didn't like how you dissed his gambling "system". Thanks for watching out for us.

      I was thinking maybe I was in the dog house again.

      That system really was horrible. Imagine plunking down $896 hoping to
      win $4.

      A real fools bet.

          Thanks Alexa. I just hate when I see gambling systems that are so
          horrible that only a mad man would use them.

          When I go to AC, which isn't often anymore, I am very conservative and
          never gamble more than I am willing to use.

          That's why they call it gambling.

    I'm confused Steven, what is this "I am very conservative and
    never gamble more than I am willing to use." system?
    Is this a new system? How much for you to teach me?
    My old system was never gamble more than I was willing to lose, but your method sounds so much better!
    Thanks!

      Actually Kim, I meant "lose"

      It was a typo.

        Steven,

        Every section of this board is moderated. The amount of slack in use is different depending on the forum, but there's always someone watching.

          Thanks Paul. I'd just never seen that message come up before other than
          posting a WSO. Usually, posts go through right away.

            Steven,

            Oh. You meant pre-moderated. No, it's not. As far as I know, the only sections like that are the WSOs, classifieds, and War Room (sort of).

            That was probably just an oddity of timing.

        Seems like every attempt I've made at humour the past day or two has strayed off the mark.

          It helps if the person reading your remarks has a sense of humor, so not
          your fault at all.

          I'm just a little dense sometimes.

    I posted to a fw threads at the very time they were being pulled before and just got messages that said I was posting to an invalid thread.

    I also lived with a Gazelle/Shaheen Family member for 7 years and can assure you there is no real system on the market. You can improve your odds here and again, and that's as far as you'll ever make it - the rest is just common sense. Never bet more than the return will make worthwhile - put part of your winnings back but save two thirds, If the machines are giving 70 - 90% odds, you only should have to pull the handle so many times before getting a return or they have just been hit or are just about to - sometimes a well tipped service attendent will answer that question for you.

    If there was a "SURE SYSTEM" it wouldn't be called gambling, it would be called "INCOME" and casinos would have no reason for existence.

    I bet on the dogs one day and I was guaranteed I would win.

    I got fed up betting on one dog to win and always losing, so in the next race I bet on EVERY dog to win! There were only six in this race, so it cost me $12.

    Wouldn't you know it? I WON!!! Woo-Hoo!

    What's even more cool? It was a longshot that won and I exchanged my winning ticket for a nice $73.

    Now if I could figure out a system where that would always work out like that...:rolleyes: (I'll be sure to offer it to Steven and Alexa first...)

      Sounds like my first season at Saratoga Flat Track playing the horses.
      I'd bet every horse in the raise escept for maybe 1 or 2 and loose.
      One time 3 of us boxed 3 horses in an exacta, cost us 3 bucks each and we won 1.50 each
      I did learn how to read a racing form though
      I also learned at Saratoga you can stand within feet of the horses when the jockey's mount them. If you can half way read horses, if you watch them before the race you stand a pretty good chance of placing a winning bet.
      Still I never brought anymore money then I could afford to lose and never will.
