$99 for ten poorly
photocopied pages. That’s $9.90 per page. Was
the information worth that much? Not if you could
buy the original “system” and a host of
other valuable information from the book this thief
had plagiarized it from for a mere $9.95 -- and
that was $9.95 for over 170 pages of solidly researched
information. (That book would be my own Break the
One-Armed Bandits!) Unfortunately, the original
book does not “guarantee” that you will
win, only that it will give you the best advice
for increasing your chances of coming out ahead
when you play those infernal machines.
It is one thing to
promise people the best methods for playing the
slots; it is quite another to guarantee those people
that they will, in fact, win.
Take this to heart: Unless a slot machine is faulty,
it will pay back in the long run whatever it is
programmed to pay back. If it is set to return 95
percent of all the money put in it, then at the
end of millions of decisions, it will be at, or
very near to, that 95 percent mark.
Yes, in the short-run
fluctuations of play for a day, a week, a month,
maybe even a year, many players will be ahead somewhat
at the slots. In fact, some players will be way
ahead and some other players -- a very small number
-- will have had life-altering hits on giant progressives
that pay them millions and bring out relatives they
never knew they had. These players, if they budget
their monster win wisely and check the DNA of their
erstwhile relations, will be among the few who can
say as their epitaph: “I beat the slots!”
