So this guy his suing the casino for “bad luck”??

What a moron, “bad luck” is when you lose when the odds are in your favor. Casino games have a house edge, your supposed to lose. You only win in a casino if you have “good luck”.

based on this dipwad’s logic; the casino then may have claims to sue people who win?? The bettor's “good luck” threw off the casino's Fen Shui.

I'm suing NY OTB for losing the Kentucky Derby. They switched from blue pencils to red ones at the parlor, and it threw my “Fen Shui” off. I want my 50$ back!!!

"Casino games have a house edge..."

The lone exception is Blackjack, because a card counter can turn the odds in his favor. I count cards. It's not the herculean feat that most people think it is, by the way. It just takes time and dedication to learn the basic strategy tables, and to then learn a counting system and the variations in betting and play that are necessary. I do it mostly for the fun of trying to beat them at their own game, rather than for the money. It takes a very large bankroll and lots of time (the key ingredient) to make a substantial amount of money counting. The huge, multimillion dollar hauls that people have read about (ala the MIT blackjack team) have been pulled off by teams of people, which the casinos are VERY careful to watch for.

Back to the subject at hand; the "Feng Shui" guy is just a superstitious moron. The only thing that matters in a casino is the odds, i.e. PROBABILITY. All the superstition in the world can't repeal the laws of mathematics.
