Bet with the streak, or not at allWritten by Shawn Tinling
Have you ever been drawn to a roulette table because of display board? The one that says black has come up 6 times in a row? Ever have urge to put your money on table in that situation? If so, what do you do? Bet red, because it's due to hit this time! That answer, while it is a very popular one, is absolutely wrong! You should always bet with streak, or not at all. Betting red in this situation is wrong for two reasons. The first reason's mathematical: no matter how many times a color comes up in roulette, there's still (roughly) a 50/50 chance that red or black will come up on next spin. It doesn't matter if black came up 5 times in a row, 500 times in a row or 5 million times in a row. Every spin in roulette is an independent event; what happened before or after spin doesn't change probability of a certain outcome. The idea that an event can become 'due' over time is known as 'the gambler's fallacy', and has contributed to demise of many a player's bankroll.

This book talks about a society that has fully learned negative effects of using money. It reveals many of current day deceptions that are being perpetrated on people of world by use of money to enslave and control population of our planet. People are totally unaware for most part of what money really does to them. The ideas presented by this book are understandings as taught by spirit for people of today to move into harmony of tomorrow.This book was written to offer an alternative to way life has become in our present reality dealing with money. It is so bad today that it is impossible to know whom one can trust. Remember American Indians did not use money. They lived very peacefully until they started to trade with other tribes but especially with white man. After that their life style was ripped apart. Since money is root of all evil as we all know, it only makes sense to get rid of it for a better way where everyone will be living for their personal growth rather than always striving just to maintain. This book has a slow progression from everyday mundane of today to not so mundane of a future way of a people sometime in 23rd century. This story is set in a high school sociology history classroom that is looking back on our present day, as our time would be their history. It compares a society that uses money to future society that no longer uses money as driving force of existence.
