if I start a casino with 3000 in the bank, am I a scammer? If I start with 2000 in the bank, am I a scammer? 1000? At what point am I a scammer? When I don't process withdrawals anymore without proven history of doing so?
If you can't cover the largest bet payout, then you are a scammer, or at worse in deep financial trouble.
If for example "roulette" with its highest payout of 35:1 and you don't have $35 to cover a $1 bet, then you are
probably a scammer.
You know, and I wouldn't even want to be so harsh about Royse. I do indeed concur with the fraction of people here who say there was no intent. I truly and deeply believe there was no intent. But the problem is: the numbers! What you described nails it perfectly! Roulette is probably the best example in this situation! If I offer a game and can't serve the odds that are against me, I am actually a scammer! The word is hard, but it is what it is. Very true point.
