I understand the "feeling of comraderie" on a blackjack table. I've
experienced it and, although I've almost never played craps, from the
screams I hear every so often, I'm sure it happens there, too. I have
a certain objection to a newcomer interfering with that feeling, also.
But you're also making a statement about mathematics that ma18ks and I
disagree with. When you wrote that "all of a sudden some rube plops
down and makes an outlandish bet or play that effectively the tables'
luck," I assume "changes" should have come after "effectively" and
"worse" was implied. Maybe, a few times when you've experienced this
change in feeling, your luck also changed for the worse. Do you have
a theory for how that happened? Can you show, scientifically, that
the change in mood and the change in luck wasn't a coincidence? Might
the change in luck have caused the change in feeling? Doesn't the
theory that such things have no correlation, so that luck would change
for the better after such a change in mood as often as it changed for
the worse, even if, in your experience, it has always changed for the
worse, make intuitive sense to you? If a scientific study were made
after, say, 1000 such mood worsenings, how many of them would show a
worsening of luck? ma18ks and I would estimate 500.
