I gave the analogy about craps: if you played by the math you would only bet the pass or don't pass--- period. Every other bet does not apply to the math of the game.
So I guess that every craps player who ever bet the field or the horn or placed th 4 is a madman like RS?
This whole thing was just a silly waste and put everybody in a tizzy.
If any of the math guys ever believed in the math they'd never set foot in a casino.
More importantly how was the big date and what about a wedding?

Yes I thought we just had. You understand now that if Rob doesn't exactly follow the mathematical approach, mathematicians consider that to be disputing the math.
Therefore when you say, "Rob doesn't dispute the math", everyone jumps down your throat and calls you a lier.
Instead of: "Rob doesn't dispute the math".
Try this: "Rob chooses not to follow the mathematically optimal strategy because he believes more than math is required to gain an edge in video poker. He doesn't dispute the equations themselves, only their application. He admits 2+2 = 4 he just doesn't think it applies to this situation."
If you use this alternate version, you're essentially saying the same thing more accurately and you'll get far less abuse.

My weekend with Jess was amazing, wonderful, magical, and then it ended, with me alone in the dark crying with an empty hole where my heart had been. Nothing was resolved either to the positive or the negative and I'm left with more questions and doubts than I had before her trip, which was supposed to be about resolving our questions. Bout like you'd expect I suppose.
Thank you for asking. Ain't love grand.
Sure wish I had some equations for this one.
Oh and on whatever else you said, sure, whatever and I agree. I'm too shagged out to comment.
