HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY BE DESIGNED TO TRICK ME.

HOW CAN I LOSE / OTHERS GET MORE PROFIT?

Visual examples for "fair-looking" games which have hidden design or rely on your lack of understanding.

-------------------------
NON TL;DR / EXTENDED SECTIONS BELOW:
-------------------------
I found lots of people (even great people) thinking money is somehow fair and that it's only for us to get it...

I have found people (on Mastodon) who didn't trust (banks and government) so much but somehow think money is just a tool.
Sort of not really a problem or main problem / actually quite neutral / just numbers / designed fair!!!!
but the answer is something to ask EVERY TIME...

1. A TOOL FOR WHO?
2. WHO DESIGNS IT?
3. IS IT CONSTANTLY CHANGING?
4. WAS IT DEVELOPED ALSO FOR OTHER THINGS?

Thinking life is unfair isn't my aim here only IT'S TO REALLY WAKE UP AND NOT BE NAIVE!

It might be you underestimating how much over the years people thoughts about the massive profit they want and to make it as low-key as possible... (not to hit you over the head but slowly or using games/transactions siphon it / draw the %'s out)...

If games are made fair perhaps you don't understand them yet- so allow me to show this video - it touched many of the points I touch on in my posts... and provides a simple kind-of equivalent to how you can play things easy and wonder why you fail or why you almost just about maybe kinda of get the prize probably at the cost of more than you paid....

I was really sure technology can be developed to trick you and well look at all the videos online it's a real education!

And in turn this is much like money games- you just don't see it behind the numbers, formula they constructed and even change every day or regularly without making it clear.

List of games as a simile / metaphor for life (in order of video):

Balloon / Dart throw [soft balloon, needs massive speed / accuracy, prizes are in the corners and therefore harder to hit)

Duck Pond Game (wins every time but not jackpot as 99% are not wins).

Free Throw / Basketball type games [Different rings, over-inflated. different height, non-standard distance, not the same park free-throw]

Tricky Tubs (2 balls in tub) [plastic tubs, angled tubs]

Bottle Toss [weighted bottles in Pyramid, Ball isn't equivalent to bottles, need hitting at very bottom]

Baseball toss [radar is slower than standard, are tweakable by booth owners like many modern games like Claw Games],

Ring Toss Games [rings are plastic and light / bouncy, almost impossible even if you did it above bottle)

Shoot The Star [BB Guns + paper] not well powered gun, sight off + Paper can't be ripped when floppy

Rope Ladder (essentially is a Tightrope because it's fixed only at one point in the wall... the rungs also is misleading as putting hands and legs in tht position off-balances you),

Cheaper prizes than cost to play
[entry fee covers prize]

Perhaps this last one people know and people play for fun, but the rest is people not realising the soft-cheating / physics at play which I think is what is happening in life.

Life equivalent = house prices
Houses are built and people pay over and over for simply the same house paid off (even with profit still infinite profit goes on)
It doesn't need anyone to pay it off at some point but banks and government get endless money just for people living in a house... they 'lease' and encourage house prices to sky rocket just to get the tax off each house each time someone buys or sells or own land. Just wasted 10's of 10,000's

Hope you get some of this
or can list your own... thanks
