Spinner Wheel is ridiculous...

Did you go to school and learn about statistics and probability at all?

Yes, when I learned statistics and probability, it was determined by how probable something was, not by whether one thing was the same size as another. Just as an example, if you have a roulette board where all the slots are equally sized, and then put a magnet down on the #34, the wheel will appear to have an equal chance but will (or can be made to) in fact be statistically more likely to fall on 34. In this case, obviously there is no physical thing, so I would say that the best way to get the accurate statistical likelihood would be to look inside the programming and see what each possible prize has set as the probability, as people have done for every previous event (and non-event, like the track stuff, for instance). Based on how sure you were, I was assuming you did that, but based on your long rant about all of the assumptions you made being wrong and how it's everybody's fault but yours, it looks like you didn't (so my assumption was wrong too!).

The cash prizes (once all snowmen and Christmas lights are collected) take up 3 spaces of the board, on which there are 10 spaces, hence there's a 30% chance to land on them (or so they'd have you believe).

Assumption.

Your argument basically backs up my point that the spinner is rigged.

Incorrect. If the spinner stated odds at 30% and was in fact hitting at 10%, that would be rigged. But you can't tell me what the spinner is *supposed* to be at, because you didn't bother to do a single bit of research. You just assumed that the first thing that popped into your head was accurate, then proved that it was inaccurate, then got mad at other people for the dumb assumption that you made.

My God, man, try working on your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, please.

If you are going to be condescending, try not to be such a total idiot, it makes it hard to stop laughing at you long enough to explain where specifically you are wrong.

EDIT: Seriously, though, if you are actually half as angry as you are acting, and not just playing it up as some bizarre Tapped Out cry for attention (as plenty of people do), you owe it to yourself to shut the game off for a day or two and walk away. Go outside. Or if it's too cold, watch a movie. Do something to take your mind off of a game that is clearly causing far too much stress in your life. Or celebrate the fact that the primary source of stress in your life is a stupid video game. As much as I am making fun of you in the rest of this, I'm not here; take a break, this game is not worth anywhere near the stress you are causing yourself.
