The 50-50-90 rule when it comes to gambling.

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of winning or guessing something, there's a 90% probability you'll lose or guess wrong, if you have a negative or greedy attitude and are too attached to the outcome.

However:

You will have a 90% probability of winning or guessing right if you don't give a crap.

This is a valuable secret, don't waste it.tongue2 waving

Gambeling is still Gsmbeling and the odds are against you so NEVER gambel what you can't afford to fritter away on lazy recreation.

Considering life is a gambel I think that is all the risk I need lol.

Especially when the pay off for the same bucks in the bank, education, property, and or your health is so much greater.

One thing you can take as a safe bet is you are going to get old and it is a whole lot more fun with no morgage and a little stashed than living check to check.

I don't believe in luck. I believe in the law of attraction.

If you worry about losing and think about losing, you will lose. If you are attached to your money and fear losing it, you will lose it.

I've seen this 50-50-90 rule work over and over and over.

Using it, when I was in high school, I won the lunch money from all the tough guys, every day, flipping quarters. Flipping quarters is a classic 50-50 chance.

I won 100% of the time, and I bragged that I never lost. It really bugged them. laugh They wanted to win just one time so they could shut me up. The teacher made me quit before they did. She saw them every day not eating their lunch. They told her that I won their lunch money.

She told me not to flip quarters with them anymore. I told her they begged me to do it every day. So I would not do it with them anymore. (eventually I would have lost.)

The more I won, the more I wanted to win so I could keep my bragging rights. (I taunted them with it.) They thought I was cheating. They used their own quarters. There was bound to come a time when I became attached to the outcome, and that is the one time I would have lost.

So I quit while I was ahead. I had a good excuse. The teachers told me I couldn't do it anymore.

You can't hold a detached state of mind forever. That is when your so-called "luck" runs out.

How NOT to gamble!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy hears a voice in his head. It says,"sell all your stuff and go to Las Vegas"

So he does. He sells his car, his house, his boat....EVERYTHING.

He takes his money and buys a plane ticket. Goes to Vegas. He gets off the plane and the voice in his head says,"Go to Caesar's Palace and go to the roulette table"

So he does. He goes to Caesar's Palace and gets to the roulette table. The voice says,"Put all your money on Black Nine"

And he does. The wheel spins, and the ball stops on RED 10.

The voice in his head yells, "****!!!"
