In fact, they switch that part of their brain off.
When they win a bet, they feel nothing.
That's the whole point.
They turn that side of their brain off.
What they get a positive feeling from is coming up with a new idea, testing it, quantifying it, taking it into the casino, and then seeing their idea borne out in reality.
That's an incredibly satisfying feeling, especially when you know you're the only one doing it.
And then when you walk home at the end of that period, which might take a year, two years, and you've got a million dollars in your pocket, you feel like a superstar.
I think I was fascinated to discover there are gamblers who apply a sort of scientific, data-driven, statistical mindset to the act of betting on blackjack or roulette wheel or horse racing.
Those things always seem...
inherently random to me.
And I had no idea there was this secret community of people doing genuinely world-class science and pioneering technology for the purposes of making a bet.
Now, I don't gamble myself like you, I don't really go in casinos, but I kind of love the idea of people using technology to get an edge.
Yeah, a couple of things.
Fundamentally, they are devoted to science.
Science is their religion.
So if the data is bearing out their belief system, they will believe they can do things that are said to be impossible.
And the second thing is this amazing confidence to go to Las Vegas and go, I'm going to be the one that beats the house.
Maybe a little bit of arrogance, but certainly like rock solid self-belief.
Yeah, but if you do what I do, my only casino bet whenever I go to a casino is I bet on black at the roulette table.
So my chances of winning, basically a coin toss, a little less than 50%.
