Wow he's getting huge, he doesn't quite look as though he'd set many boundaries on his appetite either.

Pat Buchanan called him "our virtuous teletubby." Well I guess we can scratch the "virtuous" and just stick with "teletubby."

If he passed math he should know that basically the odds are completely stacked against you.

The same thing occurred to me while reading the article. This guy sounds delusional. He acts as if he has a system to beat the odds of a slot machine. How can one person pull the handle any differently from another?

The madness that grips every gambler (including me and other casual gamblers) is not that we have some system, but that we have some special "mojo" or "we're due" or "baby needs a new pair of shoes."

The odds, of course, are almost always against us (unless we're expert card-counters playing with a team at blackjack).

So there are no systems.

Just a sudden belief, by otherwise rational people, in magic and pagan gods of chance.
