Haha you are very correct in pointing out that the mathematical expectation cannot be changed by Fenshui.

In my opinion, the most correct solution that will benefit the gambler is the study of game theory, mathematical expectation and probability theory. This will really help you to understand what are the chances of winning in this or that game.


Plus just have COMMON SENSE. In a time line long enough, if a player keeps playing, he/she can never win against the house which has a mathematical edge vs. him/her. He/she can position himself geographically in accordance to "Fengshui", still it cannot break the laws of mathematics for the player. There are no miracles, and there are no accidents in the physical universe.

I don't quite agree with you. In gambling, as in real life, there are accidents through which a person can get rich without knowing it, but it does not depend on his religion, faith and his choice since randomness is built into the casino algorithm.

Someone can participate in the lottery his whole life, but did not get a lot, and someone can buy a ticket and get fabulously rich. That is what randomness is all about.

I agree, the house has the edge against every the gamblers who plays in their establishment but that same edge is not a guarantee to the casino that they always win against every gamblers who play and there will be always some of these gamblers who will go home smiling because the won a great amount of money.

If that is truly the case that the mathematical law and the house's edge is unbreakable then I bet there would be no people playing in the casino anymore because they know that they have no chance of winning even a slightest chance.
