Idiotic App Gamers

I can't believe some of the complaints I just read on the app-download site for a game app called Big Fish Casino. People are complaining because they can't seem to be able to win on the app's games.

One person said she had bought a "couple of hundred dollars" worth of chips when the free ones they supplied ran out. And then, she carped, the company had the nerve to "steal" the gold she bought by not letting her win.
Another player said he spent more than $900 on gold coins (virtual coins, mind you) with the same result – he lost them all.
Geez Louise ... How can people be so stupid? Do they not have any self-control? If you like playing the game, just reduce the wager drastically so you can play longer and for crissakes, don't buy any credits when they offer them to you. Just say "No" and delete the friggin' game.
We live in a world of free will, but that doesn't mean you gotta be stupid about it and end up blaming the game company for your losses. You've only joined the ranks of those who smoke and blame the tobacco companies for your addiction.
I play iPad games and once bought 200,000 credits for $20. Never did it again, because I figured out how I could get more just by being patient and better managing the amount I "wagered" each time.
And, my one-time $20 "splurge" sure doesn't compare to the female's $200, not to mention the guy's $900. Stupid is, as stupid does.
