I was reading the chapter on the Floating Advantage last night and was again confronted by something I continue to find amazing.

Without all the aids of modern science, how does a guy like Revere -in 1969 -determine the existence of a concept this small?

Did he sim it up on some old IBM main frame? Did he use a calculator? Pencil and paper? Did Griffin or Thorp chip in on the idea?

Or are some guys just born to gamble and can "feel" the advantage?

I think it must be the latter.
