<DIV><FONT size=2>2 or 3 decades ago a mathematician, named Thorp, wrote a
book "Beat The Dealer". At that time Las Vegas was using a
single deck. To defend themselves, the Las Vegas establishment hired Thorp
to come out with a counter strategy. This was multiple decks and arbitrary
reshuffling. With these rules your chances of winning are about the same as at
Keno, and less than winning a state lottery.</FONT></DIV>

edge? It seems they<BR>deal out of a multi-deck shoe, and
shuffle<BR>often. Are you able to get much of an<BR>edge when they
are doing that? With<BR>a $40,000 stake, would you be betting<BR>400
dollars per hand? It seems in<BR>Gambling as well as trading the
size of<BR>the amount of money you are willing to<BR>play with has a lot
to do with how much<BR>you make. You probably can guess I
don't<BR>gamble much. <BR> Also I don't invest in the stock
market.<BR>Because I am a real estate broker, and<BR>a mortgage broker
in California, I have<BR>tended to invest in those two things..<BR>real
estate, and discounted notes. I<BR>might have done better in the
stock market,<BR>but not my area of expertise.<BR>Have a nice
Sunday.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></P></DIV>
