The Asian do more so in gambling than Caucasians from my experiences.  As I said it is non gambling as well.  Everything from dreams, to the weather, to what you may step in while walking to or from your car, etc.  There is lots more but hate to hear the comments so I won't go into detail. It is very much part of their lives.

I clicked on the link, don't have time to spend hours reading it.  But, in reality I have lots of Asians in my family (not Chinese) and the level of superstition and belief in related areas are generally higher than I have witnessed in Caucasians. Not just in gambling but in everyday matters as well. 

Fear, General Discussion, and the relation to gambling is................I'm okay betting table max at times at $10k or $15k, whatever, no fear---none whatsoever, sometimes I want to wring the guy's neck who is peeking at the cards, anticipation......but no fear, so I bared my soul to see if anyone had a magical fix for what I do fear. 

I hear you I didn't take offense to anything said, I do have a form called "Field Notes" that does get notated as an official record for each file.  The past year the State Patrol and some select Sherriff's have been enforcing the Move Over laws, at times. 

It's totally amazing with the or State Troopers or County Police gone and the huge scene still there how many motorists will do say 70MPH in a 55 or 65 MPH zone to begin with and those limits are without the emergency situation.  With the police cars present, it's a whole different, 'I'm a good motorist story'.

There are a few states, I think Indiana might be one, that has the 'kill a highway worker' and it's a felony with a 14 year minimum mandatory prison sentence.

Al - you ask "how can writing that down in a journal help?". I'm surprised at you! You claim to be a professional at what you do and the fear you have expressed is based on real experience so - how can you NOT try to mitigate this circumstance? Writing it down in a journal is good for both you AND your peers and co-workers. It provides a of experience, number 1, from which others in your business can learn. Number 2, consider mitigating factors - you can scan the scene with this particular fear in mind and do any number of things - put people on flag duty, put flashing lights in the direction of on-coming traffic, put wheel spikes after the barrier and before the scene, increase the brightness of lights.  Jeez - and I'm not even an expert in your business!

Great constructive answer!  In response.  We are all conscious of this #1 hazard/danger working on an interstate/2 or 4 lane highway, etc.  Flaggers are frowned upon and disallowed in most of everything we do because of the 'liability' of a person engaging in a roadway, etc., we are not a construction site is the reason.  Every vehicle we have has LED bar lights, strobes, etc., at times we have to turn them off--just too much and in conjunction with DOT and the State Patrols.  We do put a blocker vehicle after the lane taper if we are taking out a lane.  But the problem of crashes has seldom or ever been someone crashing through a barrier and continue straight up to the work zone, etc.  It has been sideways or veering off their open lane somewhere between the taper/lane closure and the work zone.  Warning signs and closures start at 1.4 miles back front the work zone.  Lights, well technically we can not work after sunset unless we are talking about an emergency with something that just happened.  Well proven facts on the highway, lights whether flashing or solid attracts drunks and drivers in a stupor, so darned if you do and darned if you don't tape of thing.  Then the police, county or state is usually there for the first hour and then they demand traffic control so they can leave.  It is not as easy as it sounds.

I don´t know if a few old quotes from his Bobness can help you. Anyway:

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

"I´ve got a thousand telephones that don´t ring. Do you know how I can get rid og this thing?
And Louis the king said "Let me think for a minute, son..Yes. I think it can be easily done:
Just take everything down to Highway 61".
                                                                      (Bob Dylan)

I heard that song a million times I think.  I looked it up in WIKI under "Highway 61 Revisited" and the explanation is downright awesome/scary.  BTW----as I feared Highway 61 runs through my state!!!!!  Well don't know whether to thank you are smash my computer screen.  I am pondering my next move as I type.  Adding LED's to the florescent green or plastering the bulls eye on my back?

Nothing to do with gambling, just work. 

My fear is the interstate and highways.  I was pushed out of the way of a car that crashed into our wreck scene which was illumined by all the emergency vehicles present, but of course the lady driving 75mph or better failed to see the interstate filled of stopped vehicles with all kinds of blue and red lights flashing.  That was a few years ago.  Since then, it has been a fear of mine, my only fear.  Yesterday, a co-worker was killed by a car at a current scene we were working on the highway.  Yes the driver was arrested for endangering highway workers (a felony) and reckless driving, talking on a cell phone while driving, and homicide.  Now I am even more fearful than ever.  How is writing this down in a book going to help?

SO, what the original poster is saying, they are attempting to sell a program that illegally cheats, at best, if it works and so on and so on.

SO???   Almost everyone and I do believe you (the person reading this) would be wagering the average way almost all of you do on Baccarat as well.  Which is: Playing for the cut, the cut that might be 30 hands or spins away.  So, what's it matter>

I've never made more money, calculated over the long term, than when I actually LOWERED my base units sizes.  Loosely translated:  The LESS that I bet (size-wise) the MORE dollars I'm able to procure over the long term of my play. 


Stay well.

To a certain point if we are talking about the same thing.

I used to play larger and a bit more haphazardly, but the wins when they came were always larger and longer.  Now I play a slight bit smaller than before and less haphazardly, but the wins when they come are not quite as large or as long.

Real play in live casino is only for the elite because there are so many distraction and if you don't have a solid method and discipline to stay focus then play on line but those places are not to be trusted.

To a certain point and coupled with the wrong acquaintances at a casino-YES that can be vital to the extraction of all the cash in your pockets.  HOWEVER, on the flip side, with the right acquaintances and support you can very nicely line your pockets with the casino's money! Personally during the 2000's the number of serious players have dwindled only to be replaced by today's rude-crude-know it all-unfriendly and disturbingly lacking serious knowledge type of players.  Not all-just most.  Sad but true. 

They told me I would find the real Santa here!

Some of the tabs you carry are garbage.

Basically, it's saying that what is true in "the long term" is also true in the short term, which isn't the case.

Long term may or may not happen in the corresponding long term results record being recorded as you play.  Likewise the short term results may or may not happen according to previously recorded short term results while you play the short term.

I still say play 2,000 or 5,000 or 10,000 shoes and the results will always be different.  In random games, they factually have to be.
