Just looked at FF. I'm sure the Jamboree will be fun and informative.
Except...

"GWEN MILLER, famous gaming astrologer"? The fault, dear bettors, lies not
in the stars, but in the MATH! :slight_smile:

At least a crap(s) expert can tell attendees which bets have the lowest
house advantage. As you know, craps offers a very low house edge, without any
skill being involved other than knowing which bets (pass, don't pass, come,
don't come, odds, maybe placing the 6/8) to make.

However, if I read about a "gaming astrologer" being a speaker, I would have
to think twice (or maybe three times) about attending! Astrology has nothing
to do with science, math, or informed gambling!

No offense, but in my opinion, sharing the spotlight with a "gaming
astrologer" is not good for your reputation as an informed gambler/writer. You are a
gambling expert, an astrologer is not an expert in anything except separating
the gullible from their money. If you agree, you should make this very clear
to the organizers of the Jamboree.

PS: I'm not sure about the lottery "expert," either! Hard to overcome a 50%
house edge, no matter how much of a mathematician he is!
