Roulette is all about the max allowable bet.
If you can afford to double your bet every time until you win, you will come out ahead.

I understand your perspectives much better now. On the 2 million criminals, I can’t argue they have committed the crime of crossing illegally. From what I have seen for the vast majority, crossing illegally is the only crime they are guilty of or likely ever will be. I would like to point out a lot of low skill jobs otherwise unfilled are being taken by former illegal migrants on valid work visas around here. Fast food restaurants here really struggle to fill openings and have limited hours due to that issue. Fast food is an entry level job. i like Del Taco (I know I shouldn’t) and the kitchen is visible from the front counter. A handful of times over the past couple years (I order on the app) I have gone to the front counter and no one was there. When I get the attention of a kitchen employee, in most cases, they do not speak English. They walk into the back of the restaurant and bring out someone that speaks English. Four people working, but only one that speaks English. Fast food restaurants here pay $12 an hour, FWIW.The quote is really meant to point out the issue with statistics. When I started to look up the crime stats reference in the above it quickly became a rat hole. I used to keep tons of stats on violence and gun violence. I am a pretty well traveled person and have been in some of the most dangerous cities on earth, but no wars. I can handle myself very well, but no longer like the hassle of going somewhere alone without thought or concern. Thus my questions.
The park is in close proximity to places were 2M criminals, some from very far lands, some smuggling people and some smuggling the most horrific drugs that are killing REAL americans. These people could be desparate for water and food and if dying might go to extremes to get it. Granted, if they do not steal it from me I might very well just give it to them or hand them a life straw. Who knows, I am just planning in advance and preparing. I missed the ranger by 15 min today. I will call in the AM tomorrow.
I would say that you are 66.6667% more likely to be better off if you choose one of 3 boxes.
Its a freaking forum to have fun at yeah? I agree @Blueboy
I don’t know what he was doing but he came out WAY ahead, He also played black jack, which I do understand how he did so well.Roulette is all about the max allowable bet.

May you have a truly enjoyable visit!Just called and talked to Tom at the visitor center. No problems with crimes in the area. Too remote.
I will be getting the camper ready. Will pack the telescope. Got a bit of outfitting to do on the camper in the next couple of weeks. There are some sites that do not allow booking until 14 weeks out, so that will be our choice.
IMO crime is directly proportional to population. More people, more crime. Pretty sure it is fact, but I will call it my opinion. 2M more criminals taking money aways from americans is a pity. Especially when there are tons of american citizens (veterans even) that are homeless and without jobs. None of this is going to bode well for American cities which are already crapholes. The amount of cash that Americans are forking out for these criminals is appauling.
I challenge anyone to attempt walking across a port of entry of any nation like they are at Eagle Pass. Its plain dumb.
I had lightning in a bottle for about 90 minutes at Mandalay Bay back in '21. Playing family birth dates at roulette. About ten numbers with $5 on each per spin. I started with $100 and left with $1700 when I had to take a leak.I don’t know what he was doing but he came out WAY ahead, He also played black jack, which I do understand how he did so well.
Having lived in Switzerland and Brazil you are 1000% correct. The borders are very well protected. As is the surrounding area by the checkpoints. Our Southern Border is a fucking joke. Our Euro friends ask us what is going on with your Border?I challenge anyone to attempt walking across a port of entry of any nation like they are at Eagle Pass. Its plain dumb.
This next statement is hearsay, as I heard from a friend that works with border patrol… well over 2/3rds of those illegal migrants are women and children with a very large percentage being children. I don’t want to get into the discussion of how it should be handled, clearly it is a crisis that needs solutions for which I have yet to hear one from a politician that would realistically be effective.
It actually borders two Mexicos, one is just newer than the other. But if that worries you, wait till you find out it also borders Oklahoma! LOL

We also lived in Japan yet that Border is pretty secure naturally.
That was quite an experience. Thank you for sharing that story.All this discussion about the security of visiting a national park adjacent to another country brings back some childhood memories.
When I lived in Zimbabwe in the early eighties I took a trip to the Gonerazhou area before it became a transfrontier national park. I rode in the back of a Land Cruiser FJ45 along with a Series III that had no doors. At the entrance our group declared our rifles and was instructed by the government staff to shoot at poachers. We didn't see any poachers (but found meat drying racks and destroyed them).
Our first afternoon we went fishing on the banks of the river and who walks up but a bunch of RENAMO soldiers (revolutionary group trying to overthrow Mozambique's government) with AK-47s. They explained they were using the park as a base of operations from which to launch their guerrilla attacks across the border. They just wanted us to know they were in the area and what parts of the park to avoid. We gave them a case of beer and they left us alone. I was more worried about the lions that circled our camp at night.
At that age I didn't have the experience to appreciate the risk of going on a game-viewing safari in the midst of an active guerrilla war zone, but those were different times. There are parts of Mozambique I wouldn't visit today.
That was quite an experience. Thank you for sharing that story.
A thread is a conversation and as such it goes where it goes right?I take credit for further derailing this thread.
