    Hello there... I was a professional gambler for my life. If you have any strange question, I;m the guy...

    Normal questions...not so much.

    Luck exists, it is a word that in English people use to make retrospective comments on past events. In Mandarin Chinese the word is thrust into the future-tense as babies with no track record can be born "lucky" in the year of the dragon. In Greek "luck" means you're an idiot that has no business having experienced the success you have. ~FK 2008

    I have a question: What's this I read about Asian baccarat players saying superstitious stuff like "monkey monkey?"

    Do they actually believe that makes a difference?

    One other question: is the mob "really" gone from Sin City?

    It's just in Chinese culture, monkeys are considered to be lucky and smart animals.

    1. YES saying "monkey" is form is saying "good luck". However, it's only used for yourself. Chinese people would not say it with other Chinese. Obviously, the word in Chinese is".猴 Hóu"

    2. I would have to kill you if I told you...:)

    My best friend's best friend was the son of the famous mobster, "Tony Spilotro". My friend even had a drive-by-shooting story.

    These day--I don't know.
