They look like an old couple having fun playing with life, leaving behind a bunch of affirmations and a bunch of unanswered questions.

Statistics are a form of possibility, but it quickly becomes a kind of religion. All the time we hear people talking about the advantages of the casino on us and that this bet is the best as if we had to play this way if not there is no salvation… and how we must play to succeed in winning.

There is no magic way to succeed in winning at the casino or more precisely to win is not mathematical therefore not a statistic so if there is a tool that you need to know even better than statistics and well it is instinct. Why the instinct simply to better understand chance, because in the casino he is the master and he knows nothing about statistics or the laws of large numbers.

On a roll of the ball in Roulette or of the dice in Craps there is on average one chance in two of winning or losing … but on 2 rolls there are now 4 possibilities and 3 rolls there are 8 possibilities and 4 there are there are 16 possibilities etc …

Casino Statistics and Chances

You see it is the job of chance to perpetually modify the path of gains and losses and not that of the statistics which serve to understand that one path can be like a better choice in doubt than another, because the chances are supposed to swing on a grand total.

Instinct (not the divinatory sciences) is like a sensitivity to be in the game and to try to follow chance … which, let us remember, is not an enemy and has no connection with bad luck … to follow the chance or following the game is a skill that is much more beneficial than following statistics based on the long term.

Often it is the superstitions that deceive us and guide us most of the time on a path where losses are in order …

With instinct there is also the language of the table, there are also the tables called on bad or good passes like in blackjack when we talk about the croupier who seems to win every time …

I will not name all the other situations that are more possible to win at the casino … but woo your instinct developed there and you will be surprised at how it is possible to improve it and how certain day or nothing goes how it can do the the difference between knowing how to play and knowing how to win …
