Not really the same subject, but similar: I just spent the weekend in Vegas for the first time in forever, playing Blackjack, which I really like. But the only thing that matters to me is making the right bet on the odds; what card then comes up interests me almost not at all. (Although there is a resurgence in single deck games, in which case you need to pay attention for other reasons.) Yet, at every table every night, the bulk of the crowd goes on endlessly about what card came up, and how that showed they were right or wrong in their decisions (or "hunches"). It amazes me. And I guess that's why they offer a game with almost fifty percent odds.
