| On such roads, the left lane usually moves very well, until some imbecile decides that he would rather turn left and go home instead of missing his turn just so you can keep going fast. The right lane never stops dead, but right lane drivers frequently have to slow down for the inconsiderate morons who would rather slow to a safe speed to make their right turn, instead of taking the turn on two wheels. Most of us who drive such roads have come, over time, to adopt a fairly consistent strategy, and that strategy ties in directly to your gambling personality. Those who favor the left lane (we'll call them Lefties) are the risk takers. They would rather go fast, and are willing to take the risk that an imbecile might want to turn. If an imbecile does appear, they're willing to gamble that they can sprint into the right lane and zoom past the troublemaking imbecile. If the traffic flow of inconsiderate morons on the right doesn't allow this, the Lefties feel doubly unlucky. Those who favor the right lane, the Righties, prefer a steady pace. To them, slowing down occasionally for an inconsiderate moron seems far better than risking a complete stop. It shouldn't be too hard for the reader to identify himself/herself as a Lefty or a Righty. Now let's see what this means about your gambling. If you're a Lefty, you crave fast action, and are willing to accept sudden disaster if it means you have a better chance to win. That means you probably should be playing a fast game like Craps, making both Pass Line bets and Come bets, so the action keeps moving fast and furious. Of course, the problem with this Craps strategy, especially if you have a few Come bets going also, is that one 7 brings you to a halt in a hurry, and you're likely to consider the shooter something a lot worse than an imbecile. The 7 will also enable you to enjoy that "the Universe is out to get me" feeling that Lefties embrace whenever an imbecile impedes their progress. If you're a Lefty and a slot player, you should probably stick to progressive slot machines (and of course, all this lefty/righty silliness aside, you should make sure the machine you pick has been building up for a long while; playing one that has just been hit is the slot equivalent of driving with your eyes closed). Progressive machines are best for people looking for that home run of a big jackpot, the possibility, however unlikely, that they can make the whole trip without a single imbecile slowing them down. The problem with progressive machines isn't all that dissimilar to the problem with the left lane. Yes, the payoff is bigger, just as the left lane is faster, but the odds on actually hitting the jackpot are very bad. Most of the time, you'll wind up losing more by playing progressive machines. Of course, the Lefty personality isn't well-suited to slots, because the action is too steady. If you are a Lefty slot player, my guess is you'd prefer one hour of action on a dollar machine to four hours of action on a quarter machine. Roughly the same expected result, but the risks and rewards are greater during this shorter drive. Righties, of course, should stick to non-progressive machines. You won't get rich on one, but you'll get more frequent positive reinforcement, and make steadier progress. |
