Nothing is wrong with that. When I go to Las Vegas, I play craps for the same reason. But I didn't make a massive blog post that implied I could beat craps, get it on page 1 of HN and after 20,000 words and numerous graphs and tables announce to the World that it's ok that I donate some money to Bellagio once a year because it's my money and the waitresses are hot and it's fun. I wouldn't do that because no amount of eloquent prose and statistical evidence is going to change the fact that I just stated the blatantly obvious. That's why everybody gambles.


> get it on page 1 of HN

True fact: not all submissions to HN are by their authors.


"But I didn't make a massive blog post that implied I could beat craps ..." He implied nothing of the sort, the headline is a good summary of the post. You are annoyed that the post is not what YOU thought it should have been, learn to read.


Less than 1600 words, three tables and one graph.
