Since you seem to like to time things, even the tables, I thought you might be able to relate to this (credit to disu on the "Laugh" thread.) www2.uclick.com tim ct@allmystockseverseemtodoisdip.com

I do this in craps sometimes too: let's say the point is 8 and I've bought the 10 as well, but 9 keeps hitting again and again. I've been known to put a few bucks on the damn 9 at that point just to stop getting annoyed. If it keeps hitting, fine; if not, it'll push the dice to my 8 or 10... Just a few thoughts come to mind on this one: 1. I like craps too; but playing Rambus ain't akin to craps. 2. You're widely admired as a "words" guy; by reverse logic, you ain't no "numbers" guy, as supported by your anti-logic above. When the nine hits, the chance that it will hit again is always 4 chances in 36. If the 9 hits 4 more times, the next likelihood is still 4/36. Putting money on the 9 doesn't do jack for pushing the next roll to 8 or 10, except in your cloudy thinking head. 3. I look forward to getting together with youse people someday, and playing a friendly game of poker. ca

If you played at mine you would see that if you put money on the nine, it inevitably causes the dice to seven out immediately. I agree with the comments on the squat guy with jewelry....also watch out for the elderly gentleman who is swearing at the dealers even before he has lost his bet. cSlacker....who has since become a true curmudgeon and now plays the don't.
