I've gambled a bit. Craps, Baccarat, Blackjack. Researched enough to know that you can't "beat the casino". Why I'm not a believer: 1. If someone had a way to beat the casino, why would they tell anyone? 2. If you were a dealer and you knew a way to beat the casino, why would you work for minimum wage? Vegas could not find any dealers. 3. If someone tells you that you can beat the casino if you put enough time money & sweat into it, why not just get a job where there is no risk and doesn't stink like a goddam cigarette factory 4. How could anyone prove that they can and do beat the casino? There's absolutely no way to prove it. They know that, and will evade the question if asked. 5. The wizard of odds had a challenge for years where he said that he would give $20,000 to anyone that would prove that they beat the casino in the long run. Nobody collected. You guys ever hear of a story called "Jack and the Beanstalk"?
