You did a good job explaining Alan, but you know arci will never accept anything that might contradict what he wants and needs to believe about how the books say the math will work out. For instance, John Grochowski wrote an article years ago when I started playing professionally about how something like 96% of all gamblers in a casino at any given time have been ahead on their visit, yet 95% of those will go home losers. Now that's pretty close to my having been ahead in over 95% of my sessions, but I only went home a loser 15% of the time. I also know you have experienced similar results regarding having been ahead in your casino visits.

Do you think arci would ever understand how reality enters the issue and trumps useless theory?
