Back in the early '70's I took a class at my college in Northridge, Calif. (CSUN)from Frank's father.
The class was in "The Odds and Probabilities in Gambling".
He figured he had the key to beat Vegas.
Frank Sr. was a very funny little guy. Although he had never tried out his theory himself, he was sure it would work.
He was a very nice man, and although the class carried no units, it was very interesting.
I never tried out his theory.
BTW, Northridge is in the San Fernando Valley just north of Laurel Cyn. where Frank Jr. lived. That house referred to as the log cabin had it's own bowling alley in it. It was across the street from the house the Houdini used to live in. Which is shown on the front of one of the early albums by Love.
