Ed, Your 2 to 1 rule is what I did with MSFT options for a
long time!!! It was something like that.
Hate to try it at a casino.

Well, there is some way to make you rich in Vegas.
I call it 2 to 1 rule on black Jack.


BLACK JACK SECRET - Done it many times over!
The way it works is to wait for 7 or 8 Black or Reds in a row. Then start betting $ 100-200-400-800. If you use the $ 12700 you are talking about, you then would need 15 Black or Reds in row to loose, and that will not happen. Never would while you were at the table though, as the odds on 15 of one color in a row, (with a wheel with a 0 and 00) is (file in the black _______ bazillion) If it is a bazillion, then it probably happens only 2 times/year on earth, and you'll never be at that table betting anyway. That table will be in some Indian Reserve in the middle of nowhere!

Now the issue is, you will only see 7 or 8 in a row in Vegas at a casino that has say 12 tables going, and even then only about 1-3 hour, so you can only make about $ 100/hour.

Ed, I am starting to rethink my 200 by April prediction.
I have upped it to 200 by end of March----and it seems
very realistice to me!!!! (split date Mar 26)
However, I hope we get to 200 by end of February as you
have predicted.
Hoping you win this guessing game. If you don't, I hope
my guess is correct. Either way I am happy.
