Bugsy Siegal and a friend are standing on a street corner in NYC. They see two men running for a bus, one in a black suit and one in a brown suit. The man in the brown suit is far ahead and Bugsy's friend says to him: "thousand dollars says the man in the brown suit wins". Bugsy responds: "You have a bet".
As the man in the brown suit approaches the bus, the man in the black suit puts on a huge burst of speed and gets to the bus an instant before the man in the brown suit.
As Biugsy's friend counts out the $1,000.00 he says: "I am amazed at you. How were you able to figure out that the man in the black suit would win at the wire"? Bugsy responded: "I had no idea who'd win. I just knew you'd be wrong".
Winning gambling.
I gamble a lot, I really don’t have a good explanation why. Something to kill time with? Chasing the thrill of going 10-1 on a Saturday, but then going 3-9 on Sunday?
I’ve never won life changing money, but on the other hand I’ve never lost where it hurt or I had to change other life habits.
My best advice is ignore what people do on Twitter or FB, never pay for a service, but being in some groups where people pull and analyze data can help. I was in one group earlier this fall and I made money, but the involvement was too much, I just didn’t have the time to play 75 small bets a day which was what many member of that group would do. I often asked myself “do these guys even have real jobs?”
