Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 8 JAN 2013

#1

Mike is WRONG. With the example I gave, a 96.5% game approximately, there is simply NO WAY a random game with such a small jackpot ($4000 royal) that hits only about 1 in 40,000 can make up the approximate $7,000 expected loss. MAYBE in a short run, but over an extended period of time, your odds of coming out ahead would be worse than the powerball lottery.

I've silently read the posts on this site for years, and never commented, but I would like to thank Michael Shackleford and Bob Dancer for the hard work and great advice. I'll take skill over blind hope any day.

I also seriously believe that some of the writers who criticize them may actually work for a casino and desire to spread disinformation. I can't imagine anyone who really understands the math would suggest you could come out ahead in the long run on a 6-5 game--THAT IS PALPABLY FALSE

THAT IS PALPABLY FALSE

You can palpate a tumor or a prostate, but not a hypothesis. If you could, your words might mean a falsehood that could be felt by squeezing. (Hopefully, it would not ooze.)

Perhaps you meant to say "patently" ( openly, plainly or clearly).

I've always felt that those who can't be bothered to check their grammar likely can't be bothered to check their facts.

Of course it's palpable I'm wrong.

TC --- If you Google "palpably false" you find it was used correctly

Which of course, no one here has remotely suggested. It's easy to build a straw man, blow him down, and then pat yourself on the back for doing so.

Palpable-"readily or plainly seen, heard, perceived, etc.; obvious; evident"

The real question is do you still feel that "those who can't be bothered to check their grammar likely can't be bothered to check their facts"?

Of course, you meant check their diction, not their grammar ; )
