Duphpherer:

If I thought for a minute the game was controlling a pre-determined outcome, I would have deleted it long ago. Sure there are shots I can't explain, but I think that adds to the game, not detracts. Why morph into the narcissist playing the victim to some master plan on bad shots? The coin rooms are full of sore losers, mostly the higher tiers, emphatically blaming the game for all their bad shots.

Been gaming over 50 years. This is one of the easiest golf games to enjoy without dedicating your life.

Bottom line... if you ain't having fun, why torture yourself? Try Oculus Golf Plus it's a blast.

I believe that TOPGOLF owns that too. I could be wrong, but I believe I read that somewhere.

SamSpayed:
Just because WGT has a patent for VEM doesn't mean they've implemented it in the game exactly as it's specified in the patent. This is something the conspiracy theorists forget.

Correct, Scott.

The way I view and take VEM based on my experience of playing for years is that it makes you get results you don't deserve sometimes and it works in BOTH ways, meaning good shots going awfully wrong and bad shots ending up being totally decent. So it's more like a double-edged sword. As you stated, "conspiracy theorists" often focus on good ones gone bad only while they totally forget about their "badly executed but tolerated" shots because they're so good players, thus it can't happen. LOL

I think the inventor of this game has a profound understanding of gambling aspects & elements, in other words, he knows exactly what factors keep people addicted to gambling (to WGT in this case here), the same mechanism & principles applied to casino business.

I played a coin room game about a month ago. I couldn't miss a shot if I tried. I shot 10 under on 9 holes. Best round I ever had. Next game I was 3 over par or something. I still approach the game like I can get that 10 under again. Good thing I don't gamble

Yup, maverick... Been there, done that. :)
