| The Secret Prayers of Gamblers (Mark Pernice) |
Entropomancy initially appears to be surrendering yourself to chaos. However, when you look at how you get charges, it's more about taking calculated risks. In an ideal world, you'd find an activity with an exactly 10% chance of injury or monetary loss. However, that's easier said than done. Casinos try to keep a player's chance of winning a game below 50% so that they can make money in the long run. Your best option is to wager large amounts of money at blackjack, where with perfect play you can have a 49.9% chance of winning or breaking even. Though if the house uses multiple decks and certain rules, that can drop down to just 48%.
