Of course, even though Cassius says this to Brutus, before assassinating Caesar, he changes his tune by the end of the play:
You know that I held Epicurus strong
And his opinion: now I change my mind,
And partly credit things that do presage.
Coming from Sardis, on our former ensign
Two mighty eagles fell, and there they perch'd,
Gorging and feeding from our soldiers' hands;
Who to Philippi here consorted us:
This morning are they fled away and gone;
And in their steads do ravens, crows and kites,
Fly o'er our heads and downward look on us,
As we were sickly prey: their shadows seem
A canopy most fatal, under which
Our army lies, ready to give up the ghost.
All this to say, nobody knows anything for certain. Personally, I have had three psychic experiences or premonitions, where I saw into the future. One saved my life. One saved me money (on a bet). One (involving my mother's suicide) I was unable to alter.
Good luck, my friend.
BB my friend. Thank you for actual poetry and heartfelt forthrightness in what could be a change for me depending on outcome, a poetic ending of sorts. It's funny how your threads have been true gems of late and mine, total bombs.

T6 always a pleasure
Bk thank you
Dull- CG lost everything. He is not tout. We'll see if I follow.
BWS - those were personal plays never recommended. I did post almost all the winners though (didn't get paid for them unfortunately).
Weg - he was a good man. Tried to help me. Wanted me to succeed. I don't care about money tbh. I need it but I'm not money hungry. I didn't even ask him about money. Most people do. So it really shook me when he said he knew I gambled. How that came through. And to see into the future. To know I would lose. Perhaps I willed myself to lose on poor plays. The Hillary loss will never leave me. I spent 4 years researching the potential for that play and boom...I'll never get over that one. When Pennsylvania went red. Pennsylvania. Not a single projection ever had them read. Not a single one. Ever single day I looked at the status of that state. The cockroach voters did me good. The lights went out and they came out in droves. Wow. This was the ultimate bait and switch.
Or his words: "You lose". That's what he said. Told me "No Gamble" and here I am gambling.
Jdr- the penny slot info is bumping my own thread? You do know that penny slots have significance in my life and are sprinkled throughout my posts. They have meaning. And the total take above is a testament to everything I say about penny slots.
Bb ace venez - thank you
Raise- and to add to that we do not need to win. Only get within 6.
Pick - I hope to see some sunshine.

I'll - sigh I never expected this number to rise. So be it.
1 more hour and then we begin the beginning or the beginning of the end.
