If you want to quote someone famous historical figure, at least use their proper name. It wasn´t Buddha (not Budda) that said that. It was Gautama Buddha, or Siddharta Gautama.

Buddha is merely a denomination given to beings of an immense spiritual awakening, known as Unexcelled Complete Enlightenment, in classical Sanskrit also known as,  Annutara-Samhyak-Sambodhi. ( In my youth I lived for a while in some Japanese Zen Buddhist Temples so I picked up a few things.)

You seem to suffer from receptive aphasia. Even given time, as an illusion or non-illusion, time itself cannot cure that. Proper training combined with a specific set of biochemically based medicines (read drugs) can. Oh, given time to have an effect of course...

The process of aging is a chemical process. Any chemical process is a thermodynamic occurrence and any thermodynamic occurrence demands a spatiotemporal continuum (second law of thermodynamics) or a direction of time.

If this was not so, your body would not be able to take a single breath as the lungs you carry around must function through a biological process, supported by a gravitational field that acts on any particle, from a subatomic particle or waveform, up to an overgrown petulant child like yourself, via sheer temporality. The last part, Einstein himself tried to prove via his unified field theory but failed. Latest discoveries in Quantum Physics though might succeed where he couldn´t.

Now, where was I, ah yes,  thank God the Timeless, I have a computer clock that shows it's time for an afternoon snack.

..in a way time is human invention and exists only within us.

Really? So those assumed beings (calculated from a mere Drake equation POV) living in other world systems, in this Universe, look at each other and go, "hey this thing called temporality is claimed and patended by those damn humans. Bummer, that means I 'll never get to my job in time!"  ´

By the way, what has time done to your face and body since you stared into that mirror, 25 years ago?

Ha,ha,ha...nice one Dane.

How many Rolls-Royces and Rolex clocks did he own now?

How many followers did he screw over (financially and bodily) at his TM ashrams?

In any case, the post was meant as some nice Sunday reading. Greetings from a rainy Sweden.

Have a better one.

Best of luck and good measures of skill, my Viking neighbor.

An adjacent question would be, does time-symmetry, as we know it imply retrocausality?




In 2012, a little-known physicist and philosophist by the name Huw Price presented a theory which basically stated that if the strange probabilities behind any given quantum state mirror something real and if nothing restricts temporality into one direction, a reversed causality could be an equal given probability in the blurry cloud of probabilities permeating our Universe.

A Physicist, or Mathematician, well versed in Quantum Theory in line with Huw Price´s revolutionary discoveries, on the other hand, would certainly be able to explain the appearance of this "Future" rather than the one expected and belonging to the old world of classical physics.

Recently, In a new paper published in Proceedings of The Royal Society A, physicists Matthew S. Leifer at Chapman University and Matthew F. Pusey at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics have lent new theoretical support for above argument that, if certain reasonable-sounding assumptions are made, then quantum theory must be retrocausal.

From a roulette players view, Huw basically said particles or waveforms do not act like a solid roulette ball rolling on a predestined orbit around a wheel before it hits a pocket and rests there once its kinetic energy is dispensed, but more in an obscure cloud of countless possibilities shifting constantly depending on inter-dependent occurrences around in the Casino.

From his own theory of probable retro-casuality, the ball could in one possibility jump back into the hand of the dealer as much as it could land via a Classical Newtonian predetermined ball decelerating orbit and stop in a pocket of the wheel corresponding to said orbit and kinetic energy dissipation.

If we, for example, take a future probability 1, of n futures, in this ongoing possibility in our Quantum Cloud, we have this drunk player at a roulette table who suddenly pushes the table with his mass and kinetic energy due to his biochemical inability to control his strong desire to win this specific spin,  and the very vibration spreading through the various molecules constituting the table, the bowl, the upper and lower ball bearing mechanism and the wheelhead itself. results in a slightly shifted path where the ball hits a certain dust corn of a certain density, sufficient to change its orbit a millimeter lower, which makes it hit a diamond from a certain incoming angle, that redirects said ball of certain mass and kinetic energy, into the dealers hand, instead of the previous predestined pocket 0.

Few gamblers at the table, even the most experienced professional advantage players, would even know the precise reason why not number 0 or its closest neighbors did not come up and why the ball landed back in the dealer's hand for that matter.

The majority of the human mindset still believes and perceives a distorted reality of a Universe devoid of the everchanging probabilities in a blurry continuum of possibilities this normal human mindset call the world and its apparent illusion of the three times known as past, present, and future.

Of course, there are, and has been, a lot of critique of Huw´s theories,  where the loudest ones claim that the strange things that take place in quantum mechanics cannot ever be explained by actions taking place in our spectral interpretation of said reality. i.e that which we call our world. and then other stubbornly holding on to old adage´s that there is complete time-symmetry in classical physics and no apparent retrocausality. Why should the quantum world be any different?

Huw basically said that the ongoing quantum entanglement between particles resulted in a myriad occurrences of where actions took place somewhere else in a spatiotemporal continuum, a property of the other instantly affected the one in our closest perimeter could be measured and proven to probability wise correspond in its action to the former, while other particles didn´t.   

Einstein called this strange cloud of distant impervious particle behavior, spooky, and I call it a natural behavior of phenomena based on the interdependent origination with the so far obscure dark energy substance that governs our Universe and many others from a level even below the subatomic.

If you seek proof -  the very game of roulette is an excellent source and proof enough that should open your eyes and mind to an underlying absolute reality taking place as a myriad ongoing realities of sheer possibilities , on so many minute levels, it goes way beyond your wildest imagination.

Hence Imagination here is an obstacle and not an instrument of proper perception. One could in a way say that the "imageless" mind, on par with the actual reality of the Universe taking place is the proper mindset for a good roulette-player.

The Magician

The derivative of Ed´s lengthy proposition is very basic Roulette. He advocates simply to play straight ups (numbers) that are, as a bet selection, in a positive variance curve. I used plain, good English when I described that in my previous posts. What Ed wrote about is the only working method. He calls it Anti system, or whatever, I apply a more suitable mathematical expression on it. The way is still the same. He may use a strict approach with some notations, I use advanced platforms with good graphics describing the curve and the right moment to bet and win or, even better, when won, also when not to bet.

Your mental inability to understand that,  and your childish way of using "rebellious" expressions as to show your disdain for those that you feel  do not choose to see and embrace the distorted reality you perceive, is not my problem. It is yours.

Your mode of reasoning is flawed. Next time I suggest that if you have a question you state the question only, and not as you by habit seem to do, mix questions with set opinions, otherwise, the reader and target of your post might feel its better to abstain from responding than trying to enter such dialectical traps.

Now, as I am a generous nature I ´ll respond the question/s.

If the Casinos, who always consult mathematicians (those practicing applied math), thought what you wrote in your post,  was even remotely possible they would never open. It is because of the math behind the Strong and Weak law of Large Numbers is irrefutable and also proven through countless spins all over the world from thousands of roulette wheels, all showing the same thing combined with the carefully calculated odds the Casino offer you as a gambler that makes them winners in the long run.

Sure, you might have some "system" or a conceptual idea of what you believe to be a superior bet selection, but the Casinos know that if they can keep you long enough at the tables or make you return frequently, they own you, or more correctly, your money.

You know very well something about my own extensive research over the years with my team. I have lately proven to them that the only way to beat the Casinos at their own game when it comes to Roulette, is to only play the variance curve formed on any given bet selection.  If you play this curve correctly it means that you basically understand its mathematical language from a graphical point of view and can swiftly apply a bet selection that shows a positive variance which means the odds of making a hit during its temporal duration is maximal.

Equally, you save money by not playing when the variance curve of your bet selection is negative. This is as far as I know the only way to beat any given roulette wheel at any given session.
You may, of course, refute this, but I speak from empirical proof provided to me by my team both with thousands of simulated and real money sessions.

Thank you.

Hi, Dane.


Hows the weather in dear ol´ Denmark? Any luck at the tables of Casino Aalborg or Odense?  Don´t tell me, you did a John Cusack (Oceans Eleven) took the money and ran for the exit

For your information, Mr Rodin, Author of Vortex Math and CEO of Rodin Aeronautics lives here at this address in Hawai:

https://www.google.se/maps/place/485+Ocean+View+Dr,+Hilo,+HI+96720,+USA/@19.7267688,-155.05934,3a,75y,288.53h,93.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXTF0x95QkqvIEz355Vv3zA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x79524c84a8053879:0xeed50f9392b4040c!8m2!3d19.7267784!4d-155.0594766

The rather pittoresc location and living conditions might have to be chalked up on his assumed eccentricity. Assumed geniuses preoccupied with the great questions of the universe don't always have to live abundantly, but a certain standard is expected when you expose yourself as a CEO for a company in Aeronautics.

Still, I have to confess I haven´t had the time for an in-depth analysis of his esoteric math, yet some of his ideas I have had a chance to glance at,  are loosely reminiscent of recent discoveries in Quantum Physics, though I suspect some others could be questioned from a Thermodynamics point of view.

You never play the mathematical probability of a given bet selection against the offered odds by the Casino in roulette without knowing the VARIANCE CURVE every wheel generates on any given bet selection.  Learning how to plot and read a dynamic variance curve, is like learning a new language with words and grammar. Words are here the various bet selections on the table or the wheel, and grammar is the right moment or intervals of making such a bet selection.

Unless you do not find a way to plot said dynamic ongoing variance curve (there are several ways), you will be like a blind man in a large forest not knowing what direction to walk in order to get home.

A Variance Curve shows when the negative variance of a bet selection is occurring and hence a bet is not to recommend and when the positive variance is at hand and thus the Mathematical Odds of said bet selection is at its highest probability of generating a win. The HOuse edge here becomes irrelevant at such a moment, but most relevant if you try to bet during a negative phase.

If you can understand this you will find yourself starting to win more bets than losing, and if not, you will most probably follow the common trend that usually apply the most ludicrous bet selections with horrendous progressions, that all are based on the ignorance of the Variance Curve i.e the blind man in the forest syndrome.

Well then, you are like they say, sh..t out of luck.

Perhaps you could move to the Island Malta, settle down in the beautiful east coast among the new residents around the Spinola Bay with walking distance to the Draghonara and Portomaso Casinos, not to forget the Olympic Casino and Casino Maltese a few kilometers away. Fast Internet, good food, a lot of nice night life and above all, no snooping government where thoroughly corrupt politicians seeks to fill their pockets with ludicrous laws at the expense of a poverty stricken people (who keeps re-electing them).

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried Dublinbets new site that has all the good live casinos these days?

Fitzwilliams, Draghonara, Portomaso, S:T Vincent and some more pearls, all under their proxy roof.

The new auto roulette at Unibet's Casino has an exact bet window of 60 seconds. Further on, their live dealer broadcasts from Platinum Casino (Hilton hotel Bucarest) offers bet windows of anything between 40 seconds up to several minutes between spins and depending on time of day. S:T Vincent Casinos (northern Italy) usually has an average bet window of 45-60 seconds and sometimes several minutes if their tables are crowded. Their French roulette has bet windows between 1 minute up to 5 minutes depending on the presence of gamblers at their table. It is all up to the three dealers whim at the table when to spin the wheel as they have no timer-signal in the background that alerts for a spin.

Further on,  you have Portomaso Casino that offers their good live tables that in late afternoons and evenings usually are well crowded and offers the online player anything from 40 seconds to several minutes between spins as the dealers have a lot of payouts between spins.

There are of course more good Casinos online, but the above are those I recommend as I have played myself there for years without any problems.
