He told me that I could watch him in action as much as I wanted to...and I should pay him only when I was 100% convinced that he indeed had a winning system. And here is where we stand up until now:
I have watched him play a total of 40 times...and his playing sessions last about 2 hours. 70% of his playing sessions are winners...his winning sessions average more money than his losing ones...and I've never seen him increase his wager after a loss. He alternates between "Banker" and 'Player' in a manner that I can't comprehend...and his bets fluctuate between $25 and $200. He only increases his bets after a win...and always decreases his bet after a loss. Overall...he profits to the tune of about $250 an hour.
Is this enough proof that the man has uncovered the rarest of all finds? Should I now pay him for my disbelieving wager?  |
His wagering scheme is eminently logical, I'll say that.
And I would suspect that since mathematics, generally, or probabilities, more specifically, no doubt play the central role in his system, he most likely can beat the game just the way Blackjack can be beaten.
I know you're the Skeptic Extraordinaire on this forum, but I think the honorable thing to do is pay up.
