Where are my tickets?
Teutonic Paladin
I went AFK in the center ring around 4 hours ago before work but now I'm confused. I've lost 1005 games meaning I've lost 10,050 tickets. Then I've made 21,500 tickets. So why are the ticket stacks in my main inventory gone? It seems to me like I should have 40 more stacks, not be missing 8 of them.

Uhhh...happened to a guildie. He won like tons but when he checked back he lost them all...I dunno.

I wonder if they put in an anti-AFK code. I went through quite a few TOO many in the wee hours of the morning... between approximately 3:30a-9:30a. I don't have quite enough losses to explain the failure.

'Tickets won' isn't a net gain. Say if you're on an adjacent circle, you win 15 tickets but it cost you 10 tickets to play. The net gain in tickets in your inventory is 5, but towards the title 15 get added as that is the number you won.
For an example, say you're on a losing circle three times and an adjacent circle three times. That is six games at a cost of 60 tickets. Three games get added to the 'lost games' counter, 45 tickets get added to 'ticket winning' counter. But you're still down by 15 tickets in total (60 spent - 45 won). The number of tickets you have can still decrease while you're increasing the number of tickets you've won.
I have won 26,000 tickets so far yet have lost about 1.5K of them.
If you check the charmed/hapless thread (here) there have been several posts explaining the maths of it. There is a small net loss per round in the number of tickets you have, even though there is a positive gain in 'tickets won' as according to the title. The reason for this is because when you lose tickets (i.e. spend 10 and don't win any in a round) that total doesn't get deducted from the total won.

This is evil, if they're going to give us the oppurtunity they could've at least warned us...

warned you about what? basic statistical math? You do realise it's just another gold-sink in a pretty wrapper, right?

Indeed but its a great way to spend money without you having to lift a finger practically... set and forget and pray no Err=007.
