Exactly!  Great!  A great example of exactly that.  And they are reinforced to the millionth power when they get those 10 out of 13 or 15 out of 20ish correct. 

Then when the 4s or the 7s or the two events of 11 to 15 repeats in the same shoe and they lost, while others won tens of thousands of dollars, everyone looks at each other and gets flustered and mad, at least the majority of them anyway.

The cut/chop player sees all the money he could have won and the streak or camaraderie or crazy stupid player wagering on what the actual event is and exploiting it, becomes a tad bit reserved as they are set to wager thousands and that cut/chop wagerer is down there wagering the opposite side for table min with his eyes attempting not to make contact with all the others. 

The story goes on......................but it is reality at the B&M guys.

Good video, makes a lot of sense mathematically, has been proven statistically by both Zumma book to be true.  I designed my own method around this type of play back in 2004 and was positive after 3 months of play. it didn't involve sitting on ones behind at any the table, yet still managed to engage in some decent camaraderie with the regulars.

The video above is also promoting column / templates, Hmm, I always suspected I was on the right track while avoiding this guess the shoe section turning point baloney.

I agree that it's a great little video which makes you think.
If let's say on average most people can only interpret random in their own head to between 25% to 50% of how it really manifests itself, then is it any wonder that most people fail miserably when trying to guess the outcomes. Years ago I used to rock up to the casino with a mate of mine and he would only ever dabble on the outside chances on roulette with a £5 stake. You know that I can honestly say that I can't really remember him winning more than a couple of times. So it's not like he lost in the long run. He kept losing in the short run because he sucked at predicting randomness.
