If anyone does want to try out such ideas, I wish them the best of luck, and deep down, I really feel they'll need it. So far in the history of card playing, no one has come up with a successful strategy that runs counter to the laws of probability. ESP, paranormal stuff, quantum theories, and the like, are fine the laboratory, but have no place in a professional gambler's repertoire, at least, not until they become provable strategies.
We should take a strong stand against this stuff on the Forum. It's insidious and can infiltrate all the clear and provable methods and techniques discussed here. It is better left to some other type forum just to ensure that we don't mix up our p's and q's. Too much of this discussion may lead newbies to put some degree of faith in silly notions.
