That's why we have "provable fair" casinos these days. There is no way to exploit the human behavior with "Provable fair" method. Hence why you guys see all these deposit promotions etc. That's their new way to "exploit/lure" people in. I mean if you look at the moral of the story it was that the dude stopped betting at the right moment instead of letting his emotions take over and if you ask me its still valid today and will always be. Knowing when to stop pushing your luck is the only difference between a "good" gambler and a "bad" one.

I don't know any stories like that but yours reminded me of a question I was wondering about: why aren't casinos making the bets in favor of the player at first? They could then turn on this house edge thing and probability, but I am pretty sure that they would profit from it more than they'd lose. Would it be considered as cheating? I mean, if the casino is at first helping one to win and then just playing fair, I don't think anyone could accuse it. And even if people knew about that, they'd probably not be able to resist the temptation to keep playing.

I want to share with you story about street gambling game from before WW2 war
It was a way to make money for smart guys from uptown area
Smart guys without incomes stream
Game was played on bazaar or straight on the street
It was very simple game.Three cards two of them were black and one was red red was wining one black were losing
Guy was presenting cards to gambler than he was mixing cards gambler was choosing one card trying to find red one

At first look it was very easy to find red one
And it was like that because casino  guy was allowing gambler to find red one
But he  knew gambling psychology and  he knew that gambler after first easy win will like to win more
So gambler was wining first attempt second or even third and was betting  bigger and bigger money
At some stage casino guy was mixing cards that way that it was very hard to find red card and gambler was losing
Finally smart guy was winner and gambler lost all money what he had in his pocket together with watch

But sometimes some smart guys was coming to play.He knew very well how it works
So he was showing himself like a newbie and when game entered  in final stage he was
the winner over casino guy
