You know what really grinds my gears?
People who go to a casino, bet someone, win, and then claim they haven't been paid.
I've fallen victim to this many time in the past, so when I started playing again a few weeks back, I got into the habit of recording all bets that I take/make.
So, this guy comes in, bets me a few times, and then I had to leave so said it was the last game. He won (60c), I paid blah blah, and then he claimed I didn't pay him. Now, door-scammers are quite common these days, but I was sure I had traded him and no one else (plus, he had tried to pull a similar stunt on me previously), so I said I would check the video to be sure before I gave up another 60c.
I checked the video after what seemed like a million hours of waiting for it to 'buffer' and bam - guess who I traded? It was him. So I posted the video on youtube for proof. I even got a 24 hour ban because I kept mentioning 'cam' and stuff. Anyway, even WITH the video proof he wasn't happy. So when he came back a week later calling me a scammer, I got a few people to check it (inc the casino owner), and they confirmed I had paid him.
So, I just wanted to post a word of advice to all you dealers out there - record all your bets and don't take a players word when they say you didn't trade them. Record and check the video.
Its so easy for players to give dealers a bad name.
I know its just a game and everything, but I deal for fun and when I'm bored and have no housework or uni work to do. To deal I need to have people who bet me. If someone brands me a scammer when I am not, that half an hour of fun every few days is gone as people don't trust anymore.
I know a lot of dealers out there are scammers, and they give us a bad name, but why slander those who actually aren't - you just ruin it for everyone else branding the trusted people.
Just to be clear I have never scammed in my 8 years of habbo, and I never will. In fact, I actually tried to scam someone once a few years back - someone who had scammed me a few weeks previously. Took their bet, lost and ran. And you know what? I couldn't do it. I just felt guilty, so I returned and claimed I D.C and paid him. It takes a long time to acquire even the smallest amount of wealth on that game through trading and stuff (it took me a good two years to trade up enough for my first throne), so I think it's cruel. Also, my dealer entry at that casino had cost me a couple of thrones and had increased my dealer reputation bringing me more fun and interesting games - I wasn't just going to throw that away over one guy.
Ok, rant over. Bottom line is, record all bets (dealers AND players), pay attention to the trade and play nicely!! :)
