Having read some of your other posts and now being unable to edit my original post, I think maybe your antagonistic post was because you interpreted mine as somehow demeaning you. This was never meant to be the case. I take a hard line on these systems because they lure people into the false expectation that they can get free money. Yes, sometimes they do win, but people win money in casinos without systems. However the deck is quite literally stacked against you.

If you think of me as a delusionist thats fine, but i truly believe gambling for profit is an incredibly dangerous thing. I believe it is a form of entertainment, the price you are charged for this entertainment is the house edge. I have no problem in people searching for a system that will win, i have no problem in you believing it can be beat. I was not saying you should stop looking. I would be quite happy to continue this discussion about whether this would work if you provide more details. But please, please, please do not bet any life changing sums on this. Please read everything i have written and interpret it as trying to help not demean.

The harshness is merely a function of potential damage.
