Researchers Create a Statistical Guide To Gambling
New submitter yukiloo writes "An early Christmas treat for the ordinary Joe who is stuck with a Christmas list that he cannot afford and is running out of time comes from two mathematicians (Evangelos Georgiadis, MIT, and Doron Zeilberger, Rutgers) and a computer scientist (Shalosh B. Ekhad). In their paper 'How to gamble if you're in a hurry,' they present algorithmic strategies and reclaim the world of gambling, which they say has up till recently flourished on the continuous Kolmogorov paradigm by some sugary discrete code that could make us hopefully richer, if not wiser. It's interesting since their work applies an advanced version of what seems to be the Kelly criterion."
Whos tail do I have to pull to get some gay cock around here?
It's really hard t find gay cock because when farmer's find out their cock is gay, they kill it and eat it. At lest a gay hen will lay eggs so they don't kill those.
Or try this....
Gay cock? What is a *gay cock like - are they so happy that they crow all the time?
Gay: merry - cheerful - jolly - joyful - blithe - mirthful - as in the "gay" in Jingle Bells.
You didn't think that in Jingle Bells that "gay apparel" meant dressing up like a member of the Village People did you?
That's why the only true statistical guide to casino gambling would be very short. One word, in fact: "Don't".
You want to gamble, look to parimutuel betting or at least a good sports book where you know you're going to pay a fixed percentage.
I find it simply astounding that American laws find casino gambling or lotteries (mis-named "gaming") acceptable, but refuse adamantly to legalize even a relatively harmless herb like marijuana because it has a mild euphoric affect. It shows a) the godlike powers of corporations in America and b) the ridiculous ongoing effect of stifling puritanism in American life. And not just regarding recreational drugs. You cannot show a nipple on broadcast television, yet Americans consume more pornography than the population of any other developed nation. I guess the fact that the heavily Christian "red" states consume the most pornography should not be surprising. The more you repress publicly, the more the pornographers (and abusers) go to work privately. You end up with football coaches who are revered as priest/kings while they rape children behind closed doors, leading to institutional protection of said child-rapists. Slavish devotion to "hard work=financial success" leading to the enormous profits of a "gaming" industry that is designed to defraud. An entire "free market" economy designed around institutionalized fraud.
Nobody should be surprised that the false front of this economic empire is starting to wear thin, showing the flimsy foundation underneath. It was never real.
You are welcome on my lawn.
