我和青蛙有「扭」約會(3) 故技重施

趣狐山莊也有賭場, 當然要來個故技重施, 賺它一餐才夠痛快. 問明酒店服務員, 知道最近賭場生意淡靜, 所以推出不少 promotion, 新入會有大量泥碼贈送, 哈哈! 正中下懷!!
小得:「你這樣去每個賭場用泥碼換錢, 怕不怕後來被賭場列入黑名單?」
Billy:「哈哈! 那不是更威嗎? 逢賭必勝, 然後被賭場邀請離場, 這不是電影橋段中只會 apply to 千王/賭神? 當全部賭客請望住我, 我再將件外衣在頭上轉個圈再披上, 咬住支牙簽思思急離開, 幾有型.」

去到門口, 極度冷清清, 四個「食蕉」跑來歡迎我們一行四個, 假如全世界賭場任何時間都這樣冷清清, 而入去的人都像我一樣去痴飲痴食就哈利路亞!

去過不少賭場, 未見過一個要除外衣又要放低個手袋同背包, 煩到死. 如果不放低個手袋同背包, 就要搜身. 另外, 間餐廳又細又沒有自助餐, 算! 反正不是去賭, 怕麻煩, 沒有入去就離開.

到了波屎鈍晚上遊 downtown, 走到間書店, 不少人入賭場愛贏, Billy 入書店愛書 :) 尾國買書便宜, 同一本書, 不知為何, 定價比加拿大平 20%以上. 入到去還有 buy 1 get 1 50% discount. 正!!
所以今晚買了兩本書: 1) Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein 的 Nudge 2) Daivd M. Smick 的 The World is Curved. 嘗試找 Predictably Irrational, 找到, 但沒有 discount, 還是 hold 住不買, 下次先.

Predictably Irrational is so interesting that the cost is justified by the content!!!!!! It tells you about some paradoxes of human judgement by a lot of amusing experiments!! Very imformative.... although I just read a few chapters at Chapaters. LOL

It's a predictably irrational behavour that you didn't buy it without discount. hahahaha.....j/k..(perhaps it's a good behavour though..=P)

FYI: there is an expanded edition for this book. =)
