Tripling My Money

My dad told me that all casino games were rigged against the player so that he had no chance over the long run. He suggested the only strategy that had any chance of coming out ahead was to make one bet in your lifetime, e.g. bet on black at roulette. I studied probability and statistics at university and came to understand the math behind his advice. When I was taken to a casino, I decided to try the strategy. I put a nickel in a slot machine, won 15 cents and have not gambled since. I am one of the very few people in history who tripled his money in a lifetime gambling at casinos.
