That is a darn good story--and you know what...I actually believe it!!

Ok--I was about done with this topic, but have a couple of other comments. I'm also a poker player too. And in poker as you know we talk about odds and implied odds. I think that you have to take implied odds into account as well when talking about ties. I'm saying to break even you must hit 1 in 8 tries to break even which is 12.5%. If you get into those rare situations where the likliehood of a tie creeps above or approaches 12.5%, contrary to popular belief, you should bet tie based on implied odds. Kinda like moving in on a flush draw and getting called by the straight. Most times youre gonna miss, but when you hit it will be a good hit. Not a perfect analogy but I think you see my point.

You got it right my friend.
The same thinking applies to any situation involving risk, be it poker,
any gambling, investing, real estate speculating, starting a business etc.

The gamblers I have met who really are good, they actually win, and are not just compulsive, or satisfied to lose and call it fun, also happen to be successful in these other types of activities.
