Yep one has to considered the odds when rolling the dice. Is it real or is it memorix? Then there is the bet to consider on the line. One has to figure that the bettee has set the stakes for time, effort and a decent return if the bettor wins. To feel good about the decision to have made the bet in the first place if he loses. Yet the bet isn't so high that it isn't soooo tempting to the bettor to take the chanch. Now if the bettor declines the bet, then the next time the dice are rolled the bet is going to be much much higher. So high that the bettor can't justify playing in the big boys game. Dice in the bettors hands, does he roll them or does he decline the bet. This is a test of faith on what the bettor thinks he believes.
And they say I don't exist...and am not a man of wealth and taste...Just ask the bettor what he thinks while he agonizes over this one. ![]()

Nope...Mother maybe laughing at me on that one, but I am used to it...this is something a little different. The bettor is agonizing over a decison that has to be made. He has got his thinking cap on. He has to make a decsion one way or the other about the courage of his convictions. He may roll the dice right or he may roll them wrong.
