raise a glass or three of Perrier-Jouet and to hell with the anti-French bigots 2003-04-15 - 6:01 p.m. Another perfect spring day. If only they could go on forever. Today is a day that I have awaited for 25 years -- the jailing of David Duke. Yes, I'll be the first to admit that I bought a special bottle of champagne to salute his (alas, quite temporary) removal from our fair community. How long, oh Lord, have I watched this 52 year old man live it up in the casinos throwing thousands in the trash can, bragging in the St. Tammany News Banner that he is a genius with a system for professional gambling, and screaming and cursing at the dealers when he (inevitably, because he is a moron) loses? I'll never forget the day when I saw his girlfriend, who we spitefully called his daughter in honor of her youth, crying in the slot machines at Grand Casino/Gulfport over all the money he'd lost. The man is a bum who has never worked an honest job a day in his life. A classic con artist. Maybe they will introduce Mr. Duke to the work ethic in Big Springs Prison...but I kinda, sorta doubt it. He's already bitching that Cleo Fields, who supposedly pocketed $20,000, has never been convicted of anything. Yeah, so? I believe Mr. Fields pocketed that money from -- yeppers! -- a casino in search of a license, which puts him way ahead of Mr. Duke in the "let's take the casinos" department. In any case, Duke stole way, way, WAY more than $20,000. He admits to hundreds of thousands. Judging from his style of play (pathetic), I'm thinking he could have lost millions. There are lots of bigoted idiots (is that an oxymoron?) out there to be fleeced. The sad thing is, it didn't have to be this way. The local paper claims that Duke claimed that he had a dice system proven on a computer by a friend. When my friend told me that he had a blackjack system proven by a computer, I marched down to the Mandeville library and, absolutely free of any charge whatsoever, I read a book by Ed Thorp called, Mathematics of Gambling. It explained, in easy mathematical terms, why there will never be a winning dice system and why card counting works. With computers, you have that icky "Garbage In, Garbage Out" problem. There is still no substitute for the actual mathematics. Now think...all the fool had to do was practice counting cards for a few hours. But no. That would have involved work. And his precious white Aryan ass is too good to work. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
