Serious question: Why do you people post your betting systems here?

"erudite"!!! What the heck!? How long did you puruse the dictionary to find that word? mmm,,, Yes, it is Monkey's Eyebrow in western KY. There is a huge antenna tower there and when we take off from the airport in Paducah(where the duke of Paducah is from) we must keep a sharp eye out for it.

Can't answer that. Damned if I did and damned if I didn't!

I have been in one of those churches and for me it is spooky enough as it is.
Then they all start that talkin in tongues and being in there, all of this weird speakin going on all around me, whew, that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Now, if someone had read my mind at the same time I would have......!!! How do you explain such a thing?? Could that have been just some kind of weird coincidence?? Is it possible? What say you???

Coincidence? ESP? Real? You'll have to be the judge, as it's a matter of belief at this point, not science. The Bible reports such phenomenon in the early church. (MAZ would have a field day with this one.) If you're not a religious person, choose ESP, although that has an eerie similarity to spiritual things. :laugh:

But, whatever I believe doesn't change what you experienced. Isn't it possible that you accidently, unknowingly, somehow, mouthed the word giberish. You was perhaps known to be sceptical and they were waiting to 'get ya'? If not, then my question is, how the heck can we tap into this
to use at the casino?? Wait..... did I actually ask that question!!!?

No, I did not accidentally utter the word. Someone clearly picked my brain.

Are these things scientifically based? If so, maybe there is a way to read someone's mind, but I don't see how that will help in blackjack, since the dealer does not know his hole-card.

If these things are spiritual realities, then we must imagine a spiritual entity who would want us to win each hand, and willing to give us secret knowledge of the dealer's hole-card. Good luck on that one. Most religions teach that the Deity provides for the creatures' needs, but as a general proposition, not necessarily in the way the creature wants to be provided for. Also, there is the ethical dilemma that you are trying to enlist God to cheat at cards. haha I just thought I'd throw that in. Arguably, He is not subject to casino rules.

So, in summary, I doubt the phenomenon will be helpful for blackjack, but for poker, hey, not bad knowing your opponent's hand. Question: Would you "out" yourself if you had this power?

My view of the spiritual side is that everyone is in the perfect place for his ongoing development, frightful as that might seem. So if you need to win, the win will be there, but try this on for size--what if the best thing for your spiritual development is a whopping loss? Get the idea? A priest once told me that the way some people pray, they think that God is some kind of slot machine, and they're just trying to say the right thing to hit the jackpot. I don't think it works like that.
