This American Life is a weekly public radio show, heard by 2.2 million people on more than 500 stations. Another 2.5 million people download the weekly podcast. It is hosted by Ira Glass, produced.
The last part of it was the most interesting :
1) Research shows that in pathological gamblers, near-misses register in the brain almost the same as wins. This creates feedback of 'winning' even when they are losing. Non-pathological gamblers don't show this same reaction.
*Annoyingly mumbles to myself*
Thanks for the prompt reply, Flea... You have to learn counting.
yes, and it looks like a pretty steep learning curve !
... a solid card counter can, at most, achieve about a one percent edge over the house.
Interesting - that seems like an optimistic margin to me - but like I said, I'm a noob. So if we add that %1 to the rules variation which tops out at %2 something ... then
If you find the notion of card counting to be entertaining, then fine: explore it further.
Yes, I'm under no illusions about income potential :)) was more the math and concentration and even the 'blending in' aspects that caught my attention.
... MIT team lost 75 grand their first time out.
And then ? ;-0
Still would like to hear some numbers / stats RE how many non-ASM and non-CSM tables are to be found.
Are retained piles and hand shuffled decks gone ?

It probably went from a couple of times a week to five times a week, from various casinos hosts throughout the country, really.'From all over the country. But hell no, casinos aren't
predatory, they don't want all your money. Only as
much as they can get their hands on is all..
'She says one time when she was back home, despondent after a big loss, a casino host called her and persuaded her to return to the blackjack tables, saying, you'll win it back. She didn't and in fact ended up losing hundreds of thousands more.'
Swell folks. Like sharks with clothes. Always circling looking
for the blood in the water.
A high court judge said: 'From a moral standpoint, Caesars' predation and prosecution of a pathological gambler is repugnant.'
Predation means predatory. What a surprise.
was an issue on the Christian team? Even he stole.
His car got robbed of $8000 and instead of taking the
loss, he reported he lost it playing BJ for the team.
Warms my heart..
So whats so different about the Holy Rollers. They ain't holy and a California Sushi Roll about as close as they came to being Rollers.
But hell no, casinos aren't
predatory, they don't want all your money. Only as
much as they can get their hands on is all..

Excellent point Bob. Casinos are the only businesses that are trying to make money. Every other business just wants to make the world a better place, money be damned! Or maybe they are just trying to get enough money to keep the lights on and meet payroll, but they certainly would never dream of maximizing revenue and profits.Excellent point Bob. Casinos are the only businesses that are trying to make money.
They aren't. But my barber and my grocery store
and my mechanic aren't calling me at home five
days a week trying to entice me back to their
businesses by any means possible so they can
pick my pockets till there's nothing left in them.
