So you overcame the math because it didn't really apply to you or your strategy? That's fantastic! In the distant future when the world finally catches on to your odds bending techniques, the mathematicians may need to invent a new type of probability analysis to truly understand your play.
"Singer" is like Marvel's Scarlet Witch. He controls probability fields near him. It's a mutant ability.
Many times, I suggested to "Singer" that he should take a crack at the James Randi Foundation's million-dollar test of paranormal abilities. Unfortunately, I believe that challenge has ended. Now he'll have to earn the money by finding another glitch.
Thank God this has become a WoV West Coast or something. For the longest time, it was just arci taking "Singer" on. Then it was mainly arci and me. Not many logic enthusiasts on the old Best Buys forum. Now, thankfully, there are plenty of people to ask the obvious questions. I feel a stop loss/win goal debate on the horizon. Like a darkening storm. LOL. Have fun with it.
