I said this before, but still want to say this again..

"Kimo Li is a very good marketing strategist, a very good marketeer, good marketing script writer, a very good advertiser...."
His principle of roulette wheel. betting is good.but not hg, only high probability that also lose to HE.

caveat emptor.
Your response, with all due respect, is exactly what one would say when one does not possess a strategy that makes money consistently. One of the questions that I may ask when someone is interested in learning a lesson is: "Do you believe a roulette strategy can beat the House Edge?" If your answer is no, you will not qualify for a lesson, reason being, you already have defeated mindset.
If one enters an endeavor and believes they cannot succeed, they will not succeed. I had a student that learned the lesson but had a hard time making a profit. He wrote to me and said some really hurtful words. I tried to help him but he blamed me for his misfortune. My response was of encouragement and reinforcement of what I had taught him. I pointed out the rules of engagement and said to him, "If you do not follow what I said, you will not win. I cannot control your actions, only you can do that." He was very angry. I was sadden by his experience. I had failed him. Then, I received an email, a year later.

"It's ... from .... You gave me some lessons beginning about 2 years ago. About a year ago I wrote you and told you about my frustrations as I was not doing well. Well the reason I wasn't doing well is because I was not following your exact rules. Still trying to go for the big hit on my favorite numbers. In other words playing like an a$$hole as I call it.
Over the last few months I refocused and just concentrated solely on ... Tracking ... I usually focus on .... I have been doing amazingly well. Just focus and probably the hardest thing of them all. Just be disciplined. I have been buying in for 200 and playing dollars. I will bet 2 dollars on each of the numbers. I know you usually encourage negative progression. I admit this is the one part I have trouble pulling the trigger on sometimes. I sometimes do a positive progression like if you are in a big run just adding one chip. I know this is one of the big disputes in strategy. Should you flat bet? Negative or positive progression?
What I am stunned by is no matter what even through rough stretches I almost have chips in front of me. It can survive those stretches. Then eventually you usually hit a big run. I never lose the 200 buy in. I end up in positive I would say 8/10 times. The other two I may lose 100 and just not feeling it. I but in at another table. Yesterday I won 800 in 3 hours. The thing that has stuck with me is you said you don't need a computer. You have one. Your brain. I have been studying more then I can explain. I now can look at the last 4-8 spins and know exactly what to bet. If I do t get a hit change to another .... I think this is one of the most difficult things to do. Especially when the ... you have just lost on hits on the first spin!! But I have told myself just to ride the ship. Eventually it will break. A streak will come.
I just wanted to say I am sorry about going off last year. I am really getting it. I believe I have become a very good player but at the same time just scratching the surface."
In my book, I state, "Fact or Fiction," you decide.
