I do believe there are energies out there, whatever they may be.
I have had some severly negative feelings at a table right before it took a severe turn south, but also some very positive feelings before a big winning streak. I have also on several occasions predicted that the dealer was going to get a 21 or b/j right before it happened. I have no idea why, im so engrianed with the right way to play, i never listen to these feelings and play just based on the math, but sometimes my gut feeling is so damn accurate it freaks me out.
There is of course no scientific explanation for this. But crazy stuff does happen all the time that we cannot explain. I sat next to a guy at a table once, with a $100 bet on the table, he doubled a hard 16 against a dealers face card, and pulled a 5. He looked like he had no doubt in his mind that he was gonna hit that, even though mathmatically he had just about a 70% chance of busting. Ive seen guys hit hard 20's before and get an ace. All casinos have stories like that, because they do happen.
Do i believe there is something out there, an energy, that can direct what happens in our lives? yes. Call it God, call it karma, call it the devil, whatever. We simply are not the only intelligent beings in the universe, and our understanding of time, space, energy, etc is very limited to say the least. Do i believe we can predict it, control it, etc to any sort of accuracy? No way, at least not with our limited minds and technology we have now. Do i believe in psychics? Not really, most of them are just con's. The people who are actually in 'tune' with this sort of thing, are not out to make money with it.
Math is the only sure fire and consistent way to beat the house.
