Daniel began asking questions to his students, gently pushing them to think. If you play at casinos, he asked, why do most people lose while the casino always stays in profit? How does it work? Why do some people win sometimes, even if rarely? The students opened up. They talked about their lives, about their parents working multiple jobs, about not always having enough to eat, about wanting to take a date out, help family members, or save for a house or a car. They spoke honestly about trying to earn through games, lotteries, and sometimes small wins in gambling, and he began to see the human side of probability
For Daniel, a mathematician, this became more than a question. Mathematics is an exact science, he thought, numbers don’t lie, probabilities have rules, and yet here were young people winning and losing in ways that didn’t seem random. He decided to study it. He started visiting physical casinos, observing how people played, how the algorithms seemed to operate, and how behavior influenced outcomes. He traveled to different cities, visited multiple casinos, and began testing his own methods. Each time he applied his carefully developed system, he left with winnings. It wasn’t luck. He understood timing, decision patterns, and behavioral cues. After repeated success, casinos began banning him. Not publicly accusing, not claiming he cheated, but quietly preventing his return
