I play the stupid English woman for a few hands and lull them into a false sense of security, dispose of 25% of my chips playing timid then they try and throw me off and I take their chips. Never fails.

Also I hold my cards close to the table while muttering “It’s all right for you chaps, your tits don’t get in the way of seeing your cards”.

Lol, now you have a new phrase to rollout..."10...10..20..suck mah tiddies!"

 ;D ;D ;D

I have always enjoyed listening to Art Bell as a radio talk show host. It was like sitting around a camp fire listening to camp fire stories but just around a radio.

Perfect description!

On that vein, do you remember Biospehere 2 and it's crew?

One of the principals was the late Roy Walford, a dietary scientist, insane caloric restriction guy, but also a renowned and banned roulette counter in Reno.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Walford

Walford is credited with significantly furthering aging research by his discovery that laboratory mice, when fed a diet that restricted their caloric intake by 50% yet maintaining nutritional requirements, almost doubled their expected life span.

Roulette winnings
In 1947, while on vacation during medical school, Walford and Albert Hibbs, a mathematics graduate student, used statistical analysis of biased roulette wheels to "break the bank" in Reno. They tracked the results of the spins, determined which wheels were biased, and then bet heavily on the ones which were unbalanced. The casinos eventually realized that Walford and his friend knew what they were doing and threw them out. A Life Magazine photographer captured the pair drinking milk and counting their chips in a photograph published in the December 8, 1947 issue. Their methods were also mentioned in the roulette book The Eudaemonic Pie by Thomas Bass. Different sources have the pair winning anywhere from $6,500[3] to $42,000. The high end is more likely, as Walford was reputed to have paid for part of his medical school education and a house from his winnings. The pair also bought a yacht and sailed the Caribbean for over a year.

Biosphere 2
Walford was one of the eight “crew members” who were sealed inside Biosphere 2 where they lived from September 26, 1991 to September 26, 1993. Walford served as the crew's physician. During his stay in Biosphere 2, the crew found that they could not grow as much food as anticipated, so Walford convinced the crew to follow his calorie restriction diet. It is claimed that this action “produced dramatic weight loss and improved health.”Despite this, in November of the first year the crew decided to open a cache of emergency food supplies grown outside of the bubble to supplement their meager diets.
Caloric restriction and ALS

Walford's death from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has provoked consideration about whether his practice of caloric restriction (CR) may have contributed to, or accelerated, his development of the disease.

Walford himself speculated that his disease may have been caused by the combination of chronic hypoxia and exposure to carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide in Biosphere 2.

Many of the interviews were also cutting edge, the topics being things I had never heard of. Nothing new anymore.

Yeah, that too
