Poker is gambling and roulette is a game of skill

Yes read the title again. This is the firm belief of a *cough* well educated person on my trading desk. OMFG !

This is derived from the fact that said person won some money in Vegas this year at the roulette tables and who's family member plays poker both online and live. The other fact said was that online poker must be fixed as their family member says every time a 1 outer is needed to lose a pot it comes up 50% of the time. OMFFG! a 2% chance hitting 50% of the time. But he said it so it must be true. But it must be true because this poker player has been to Vegas and won big tournaments. A little delving showed a $2000 win at the Wynn. HUGE !!!!!!!

Jeez, are you for f*cking real. This person is a very important position in our company and should have atleast the basic understanding of GCSE maths ffs. It baffles me how these people get jobs in finance, in trading, in areas that they should have atleast one bit of mathematical knowledge.

Credit crunch my ar$e, i say the turndown in the stockmarket is due to incompetant fools like this.

Rant over.

In general, I am a fan of roulette and online roulette is one of the most interesting casino games, therefore I most in the play casino 888 UK and I am lucky in it because the bets are won and paid instantly. Such a winning game suits me.
