environment is really a big part of the fun while the advice I'm sharing is a business like antiseptic approach that substitutes logic for 'fun'.

Human nature being what it is, people often set goals but somewhere along the line they cease to follow the advice and revert back to doing things as they had in the past. It happens all the time.

But if you are that one-in-ten determined to win and with the intestinal fortitude (guts) to religiously follow your convictions and practice what you'll learn on this site, then you will have a better chance of beating the slots than the next person.
