Speaking of snake oil salesmen, I hate to bust your bubble, but in Catlin's book "The Truth Behind the Numbers", he says "most of us don't know the nature of these games or the math behind them or, yes, how to most effectively play them".
How about that, your hero thinks there is an effective way to play MM and PB too.
"Have you ever considered blanketing Vegas with your resume?"
Chapter One of Catlin's book tells of his experience of seeing a long line of lottery players purchasing Super Lotto Plus tickets at a store just across the Cal/Nev state line near Prime, Nevada. If I wanted to bore some people in Vegas, I'd write "how to play" articles for the tourists in the Casino City Times. People ought to get a free copy of Catlin's book with ever bottle of Nightquil.
"Since you seem to think your understanding of gaming is superior to Don Catlin's,"
Go to any book store and there are hundreds of books explaining almost every form of gambling known to Man including high stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors. I'm not knocking Catlin's mathematics resume or knowledge of casino gaming, but he isn't The authority on the subject. As far as being a gaming consultant, for over 20 years, the casino owners are more interested in what their stock did yesterday and their bottom line.
The one thing you don't seem to comprehend is the majority of members on LP play lottery games and enjoy sharing ideas of how to better play the games they are already playing.
