The internal clock29 January 2019
Bear with me here. My normal day goes something like this: I wake up between four and five o’clock in the morning. After my toiletries I make a half-cup of coffee and then I head for my computer. I answer e-mails for about an hour, occasionally go to Facebook for about 10 minutes, say good morning to my ... (read more)
When to quit playing22 January 2019
When to quit Last week I showed how the cliché of “quit when you’re ahead” really wasn’t and isn’t the be-all and end-all of knowing when to call it a session or a day or a trip.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays25 December 2018
FROM ROBINSON: I need a Christmas gift. Do all bets and all games have a house edge? If so, that means no game can be beaten. So why are casinos so serious as games are being played? Are they that worried players or dealers will cheat if given the chance? I have seen so many floor people frowning as the games are being played that at times it makes me uncomfortable. ...

Pursuit of the dream11 December 2018
Mankind is the pursuing of dreams animal; even when we are wide awake, our dreams can drive us forward. Indeed much of man’s accomplishments on this planet come from such pursuits of dreams. Our books and movies reflect our pursuits – often ending in loss of some kind. Indiana Jones feverishly pursued the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark. ... (read more)
