Sorry ya'll if I have emails to reply to. I have been very busy and I may not reply quickly but, it will get done in the order of my priorities and responsibilities in life :slight_smile:

Have a Great Prosperous & Fun Weekend !!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

To beat roulette? I'm sure it's been done many times, just most people aren't talking. If you beat the casino, the casino considers it a crime and often prosecutes, so best to lay low. The "professors" Shannon and Thorp did it in the 50-60's with the first wearable computer, which I'm guessing is why gaming made a rule of no computers for customers (though the casino can use a computer, see MindPlay).

I really enjoy it when someone writes a great book about it. Check out the Eudaemonic Pie by Thomas Bass.
