[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1389700, member: 6543"] I have pretty much used up my luck by staying alive until now.... several times I have emerged basically unhurt when I should have died....... not gonna waste any luck I might have by using it on what other people might do in a sporting event... most gambling is not a matter of luck.... I sat at Fort Carson the Christmas of 1971....there were only a few of us in the barracks....there was a guy there who wanted to play cards and I had no money .....he said okay we will just play to pass the time he beat me every hand..finally he admitted that he was just practicing and started telling me what cards he was dealing as he dealt them and he was about 80% correct....I went to the PX and bought several new decks ....no change...he could open a new deck. shuffle them or let me shuffle them and he could still deal em to me telling me what I was holding. He finally told me that he was from a town in Nevada about 100 miles from Vegas and that where he was from if you couldn't do that and count cards in Blackjack then you did not want to try to gamble....for him it was just a 20% gamble....for me it was 100% gambling....broke me of the notion of gambling.... standard practice to let the newbies win to more or less set the hook [/QUOTE]
