PBS was doing a BBC show tonight called Supernatural Science. It was a look at ESP. They went over some old test that skeptics argue about and so forth. Perhaps the one that was most interesting was wiring a subject for brain waves. Then have him look at 4 cards - they showed 8s, 8d, 8c, and 8h. The subject makes his pick and the brain waves move about. Then a computer makes a pick. The conscious decision of the subject was not all that great. But the brain waves paterns did correlate to correct predictions - a subconscious positive correlation.
Well... as my mind runs, wouldn't it be cool if....
I dug around on the net a bit. There are some training modules out there to teach you to employ Psi in the casino - who would have thought. There is some software for sale to test your Psi ability. And I did find this one paper. The paper analyzes the drop and payout for various games over a four year period - except for one month and 5 days of data that was missing.
The study indicates that you might get an additional 2% if you just gamble when the moon is full or there abouts (page 11). How about that. I think I read somewhere else that people smoked more and ash trays were fuller during full moons. Maybe not - I seem to remember something about ash trays...
Anyway, here is the article called "Seeking Psi in the Casino":

PS - Can I get the same effect during moon dark periods by drinking moon shine?
