- It is easy enough to correct errors in your favor, but often difficult
- or impossible to correct errors against you. The first time a dealer
- erroneously paid me off at blackjack, I gave the money back. But
- after a few experiences having my cards and my money snatched away
- when I should have pushed, I decided to let most errors slide and hope
- that it all evens out in the end.

- Not a very noble attitude, but there isn't a lot of nobility in most
- casinos that I've seen. Maybe that's why the Divine Masters disapprove.
