Crazy Gambling Letters from Nutty People #7

Dear Mr. Scobolete:

I have read each and every one of your books and I enjoyed them each one. You are one fined writer if I do say so myself. But I have one thing I don't like and that is your insistence that math is the most important thing in casino gambling when even a fool knows that short term luck is what makes you a winner. Without luck players can't win and casinos can't win ether. Why don't you understand how luck works? It is not hard to understand. When things are going good you bet more and when things are going bad you bet less. How hard is that to understand? It isn't hard. But you and your fellow gambling wriers don't seem to understand this simple idea. Why don't you understand it? How hard is it to understand? Are the casinos paying you to lie to us about how to really win at the games because they are afraid of losing all of their money? That is what I think is really happening. I think gambling writers are being bribed. I am never buying another book of yours again!

Dear Carter:

I fell asleep in a casino and I guess it is because they were lucky and won some ether. You were only hot in the past, you are not being hot. The next decision isn't influenced by what just happened in the past, except if you are counting cards at blackjack. These hot and cold ideas are a fallacy. I am very sorry that you got so angry at the end of your letter and have said you will never buy another book of mine. But that frees me to say - jump off a mountain you cheap creep!

Honestly yours,
Mr. Scobolete
