I seen that done once Ted and it worked. The guy hit a royal. I always take my umbrella now in case of rain.

Allow me to return to the original subject. Since Rolanddude likes side-examples that help explain video poker theories, try this one:

Say a guy is selling some natural oil, made from snakes. He says you mix it with water, put it on your head, and "VOILA!" a bald head is instantly filled with hair! Nobody believes him. Heck, nobody even tries it! But he sends out a bunch of newsletters and even has a web site describing the product. Still, people somehow do not believe him.

Then the webmaster of a website called NaturalOilBenefits.com says he will gladly set up an event for the guy to show people first-hand if it works or not. He could use the hair, what's there to lose. People laugh and say the salesman will never show. But he does!

So a crowd gathers. The drums roll. The oil is mixed, applied to a bald head and... no hair.

Then the salesman returns home and sends out a newsletter stating that the water used must have been Canadian Spring Water, which he had't tried with the product before. But he proved everyone wrong by showing up, so try a case today.

Someone seems to be eager to keeping buying various products from this salesman, but most know better.

I get it delora. You are talking about the con rs and rd are trying to pull. I would like to see them both ejected from here for life.

No, I am talking about my stupid boyfriend who has spent a few hundred bucks on hair growth products that never work. But you're right, it's actually bears a resemblance to this example too.

Curse you all for sucking me into this with the drama. I think I enjoyed it more just reading it.

Darn.  I was going to PM you to get that website address.  That's a good common-sense line of reasoning.
 
Drs. Smith and Jones each decide to write a book on health.  Dr. Smith, in her book, writes that for good health you shouldn't smoke or drink, you should eat right, and also get plenty of exercise.  Dr. Jones, in his book, writes that the evils of smoking and drinking have been exaggerated, and there's nothing at all wrong with maintaining Diamond status at your local Mickey D's as well as spending as much time as possible on the couch watching Gilligan's Island reruns.
 
With me so far?  So, two questions --
 
1)  Which book do you think will sell more?
2)  Which book do you think actually contains better information on health?
 
Dr. Jones' book will, of course, be more popular - it says what people want to hear, and we never mind paying for that, do we?  Dr.  Smith will be pooh-poohed by Jones as a boring (yawn) conventional thinker, with all those even-more-boring statistics (double yawn).

I get that too. Dr Jones is Fa La La La La.... La la la la. Wow I got common sense> yes. Woowho.
Now lets go sell some fake pianos from our fake music store for some fake money. Two for one today only.

And Dr Jones only charges for his book because his publisher says he has to, otherwise they would be free.

Boy it is hard to get these past oej.
 
Let me try one.
 
A guy invents a new kind of taco. It has 3 times the beans but no sauces. It makes a big mess when you try to eat it but the guy says it will give you no gas. Nobody believes him. But then...
 
Actually, i can't finish this example. it made me too hungry and now i'm going to fix a taco with extra beans. back soon.

His own VP addiction is what fueled his "training" idea. He clearly understood that someone who is addicted to something is desperately seeking to justify the addiction, either consciously or subsconsciously. With his program, true believers can justify for a given length of time....and when they finally realize that there are absolutely no escapes from the proven returns over time, the trainer is already busy with the next trainee.
 
RJ Reynolds Tobacco (now Nabisco) was truly a great stock in its day, because millions of smokers were not only addicted, but also had found countless ways to justify the addiction, and thus they continued to purchase cigs. The casino succeeds by addicting, but our guy takes it a step further by offering justification for the addiction.
 
Love him or hate him, you gotta give him credit for clearly understanding the mentality of victims. In addition, give him credit for ballsmanship beyond belief. How many rational-normal human beings would have been clearly defeated in the Webman 5th Card Flip Challenge and then announce semi-victory?
 
As I recently told another member of this forum privately, the loss of a his Gaming Today column tells it all. Gaming Today made a decision that his column no longer had the credibility required for publication and thus it was dropped. He loves to say it was a mutual decision...it was not: he was dropped.

Fa La La La La.... La la la la does a lot of posting on Vegasrex.net with his stupid idiotic statements.   As soon as he opens his big mouth some guy called Koala from Australia shoots him down in flames every time.   This Koala guy started calling Fa La La La La.... La la la la a douche nozzle because of his silly rants and raves and his BS bragging stories about how great he is compared to anyone else.  Well the name stuck and now, Fa La La La La.... La la la la is known as douche nozzle on vegasrex.net.

We're not so indelicate here.  Well, not usually.    It's tough to shoot down any of his more unusual claims regarding winnings, when his "proof" is that skeptics need to "prove it ain't so!". 
 
Now I think I'll join Eduardo for a taco or two.  Got any beef ones there, Eduardo?
