Buddhism and gambling

I've given a Buddhist universal dharma talk a long time ago.

There is not a lot new on this subject... until I had a recent revelation.

When you have just done an extraordinary thing in gambling, say ten heads in a row, you have to ask yourself the question, what are the odds of throwing another heads.

Any statistician will tell you the odds are 50-50, but you know that the odds of ten in a row must be a thousand to one, so the odds of another heads must be consistent with your good luck.

This is a good point to get some Buddhist instruction. You are at an immediate moment in time and at an infinitesimal place in the universe.  The string of 11 heads in a row is happening millions of times right now in a million places.  Don't expect it to be right where you are right now.

You are right now, right here and that is the only fact that you can know.
