Can't win at the casino. Can't win on CVBJ.

I'll tell you what's wrong-- the standard deviation is not a respecter of persons. Anyone, no matter how proficient can run into what seems like inexplicable bad luck. I've heard people here say that they sometimes felt the house must be cheating them. That's exactly what it feels like. In saner moments (it WILL drive you crazy) I realized that no one was cheating me, and the gods were not hurling lightning bolts at me, it's just one of the many possibilities, and the more you play the more chance you have to bump into one of these unwelcome streaks. Why me? I don't know-- I guess it has to happen to someone-- why not me?

I think that's what it is. I was also thinking that the casinos were cheating somehow.
