As a teenager I could reliably do 'card tricks' - picking out a sequence of four or five cards in order. Also applied it to a party game once, giving the name of the card as well as just 'higher' or 'lower' - you should have seen peoples' faces.
I could describe the sensations I went through, but never did know what was going on. I once did an extensive statistical study to see whether I could affect the random number generator of a calculator as well, but that was only borderline statistically significant. Unfortunately I can't seem to do it any more.
Quoting: Wurzel That is awesome. I just hope that the youth of today read these sort of things are realise this - when your young, don't waste it. You never know when it will vanish. Some AMAZING things happen in our youth and it is just hard to explain. So I won't!
when i was young i was always able to pick the wrong thing. like if it was head or tails or roulette or whatever that had 2 options. i was able to guess the wrong option dozens of times in a row.
and i never got it figured out. like there would be something telling me 'red' but i would feel like i dont know why i think red so i pick black. and it goes on red. so the next time i get a feeling of red again and this time pick red and it goes on black. so now im confused whether my feeling is the thing its going to be or the thing im not supposed to chose. and it would go on like that in my mind with a extremely high number of perfect misses in a row.
wich when you think about it is just as crazy as getting everything right. because for some reason you seem to know/feel what is going to happen.
thats how i came up with my roulette strategy of countering every loss by raising to double what my previous bit was. that way all you have to do is eventually win. and have enough money and the possability to keep doubling up.
the key is to stick to one color.
but i have had one time where it was red 8 times in a row.
wich started with 5 dollar. you do the math. i had to bet like 1200 just to get my 5 dollars in profit when it finaly hit black again... and obviously i had already lost like 1200 to get to that 9th spin. so i needed around 2500 to make 5 bucks. but most other times i won within like 3 spins. and every win is 5 free dollars.. so that was fun while i felt like doing that to get some extra money.
i wanted to write software back then to do this automaticly on online casinos. but most of them now have a limit.
i guess there were more people like me and they figured that out really fast :P
