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 certainly agree. No matter how deep your faith is, and how knowledgable you are when it comes to mathematical thoery and algorithms, if you are not lucky in betting, your strategies will not work. Anyone, even those who are not skilled or educated can get rich instantly if they're destined to be lucky.

Yes, I agree with you! 

This is the meaning of gambling.  You can get rich even if you do not have a higher education, know nothing about the mathematical theory of probability and do not have a high IQ. 

Luck in gambling is an entity independent of other factors.  Luck just exists.  Some people are lucky in gambling.  They win big sums of money.  That is what fascinates people.  Single combat with fate (luck). 

And that is why many players are superstitious.  That is why the principles of feng shui are often used when organizing a new casino.  Gambling and superstition are very similar concepts.
