By this rule, even a gambler has 1% edge over a casino,(50.5% vs 49.5%)
If he can't control his each bet under 1% of his total capital, he will
still lose all his money.
In reality, when a casino has edge over a gambler, how many can control
their each bet under 1% of their total capital? Whoever can brings $1000 to play
blackjack, but only bet $10 each time?
So a gambler lose his money not mainly because of the edge casino has over him,

automobiles, watches, and tickets to NBA games with a total value of over $
400,000. Bob immediately “sold” the “gifts” back to the casino for chips
, which he lost shooting the dices.
请问， 是不是应该report the “gift” as gambling income？谢谢大家 |

大家可以很简单的这样看：
call = casino
put = insurance
买了call就相当于买了彩票，lottery，casino 的chip
买了put就相当于买了保险。
而卖call的一方就等于是开设了彩票公司，开设了casino赌场
卖put的一方就等于是开设了保险公司。
这样就容易理解了。 |

their each bet under 1% of their total capital? Whoever can brings $1000 to play
blackjack, but only bet $10 each time?
So a gambler lose his money not mainly because of the edge casino has over him,
but because o |

tables for PokerTek, Inc., making it the first casino to have the dealerless
tables in the stake of New Jersey.
The tables have already been implemented at places like the Mohegan Sun in
