Sun,
"Perseveration of thought indicates an inability to switch ideas or responses."
You are correct!!! You won the jackpot!!!!
"The belief that FASC is ever going to run to a buck is the triumph of hope over (fifteen years' worth of) experience, I'm afraid."
Correct again!!! you are on a roll. Much better than normal!
How-ever, in Vegas the thought is this, I would rather be lucky than good at anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be good is card counting, and ...
Card counting is illegal or should I say against the rules.
Once again, Tables open! Cast your bets! I bet on Brian!!!!!
He does not want to loose. For FASC to fail is far worse than loosing money to Brian.
I would do things different, but Brian runs the game.
