There is a small percentage of gamblers that I would define as you have up above. The overwhelming majority of gamblers couldn't calculate a probability if their life depended on it. They crave action! Las Vegas wasn't built by a bunch of smart gamblers losing millions of dollars. If the estimated percentage of winning horseplayers is less than 5% what does that make the other 95% plus players not so smart or just down on their luck?

Who but a FOOL would undertake an "intense workload"...in order to learn how to beat a dying game? I think the younger generation has rightly deduced that their "intense efforts" could be better rewarded somewhere else.

You were careless when you initially read my post. Read it again...and you'll see that I was talking only about those who are NOW attempting to learn how to beat this game.

If the game were actually dying , then you would be correct.
But as discussed on Byk's show , the game is quite healthy in other parts of the world, notably in Hong Kong.
Even if all we had were a few super tracks with big handles, the game will not be dead within anyone's lifetime.

First you misunderstood what I wrote...and now you call me a "POS Ultracrapper"? When did I ask "Dahoss to speak for me all the time"? On second thought...forget what I just asked you. I wouldn't want to "bore you" even more with my replies. I'll try to post more "exciting" things in the future...

Randall is probably upset because no-one commented that they missed him, when he didn't post on this board for a few days. He is the "sensitive" type...
