[Blindtlk] question about card games

[Jude DaShiell]

braille cards are not used by casinos.  Those have several new decks in 
a shoe for games and every so often the decks get changed.  Also 
depending on the dealer you get some of those dealers are border line 
nasty and make that nastiness part of their act.  Card playing in 
casinos is a very low probability activity for anyone hoping to win too.
You'll do better at the craps table and remember only bet on 5-6-7-8 and 
take full insurance when you do it.  The dice at least have holes.
There was a program on one of the science channels called How To Win 
Just About Every Time and that's what it recommends with cards and dice.
  Slot machines are also best avoided for the same reason to avoid card 
games.  Roulette can be played but just bet on colors only.  There is a 
slight variation in when those colors come up and you take advantage of 
that variation when you do that.  Finally observe gambling economics. 
Keep play money separate from bus money at all times and add a 
percentage of winnings to bus money regularly.  Good luck, I'll be 
interested to know how well Fortuna favors you.  Oh, maybe you've heard 
of a character called Lady Luck, well that has since the Romans had an 
Empire also been known as the Goddess Fortuna and many a gambler since 
then has offered up a few prayers to her.
