It's not gambling when you play both sides.

Playing both sides is usually called arbitrage or hedging.  For an actor it's versatility. Kill and be killed!  I am blessed to have that opportunity this year.  To take on the House and to be the House. And with it, another world premiere (I wonder at times if I am overusing the phrase "world premiere", but it's true again)....."The White Storm" a feature by Benny Chan Muk-Shing will open the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival on 25th Oct at the Star Hall.   http://www.hkaff.asiahttp://variety.com/2013/film/news/hk-asian-festival-strong-on-first-features-1200723212/Hopefully I have made the final cut as an Indonesian Badass at the Galaxy Casino in Macau.I have a long history with Casinos and I did study one game, very thoroughly, the game of Blackjack.Been at it for awhile....these chips no longer circulate in Macau.Hotel Lisboa chips from the '80 and '70's respectively.  Gambler's have their quirks.  Mine is to save one chip from a very lucky night.  I have many from many different casinos around the world.  I would like to think I was that good.Quadrupled my money in an hour at the Hotel Annapura in Katmandu.  Playing conditions were ideal.  Dealer was very slow with a two deck hand held game and I had the count plus the benefit of his lack of protection for the hole card.  As the Rupee is not convertible they have two sets of chips for whatever people play in.I thought I was a gambling God until............I came up against the real deal......And you don't take it to the man's house, because the house always wins.So if you can't beat them, join them.....Safer behind the table. Those scene's from "21" with Kevin Spacey are more true than you think.   Discovered that the years of studying the game and dealer's moves pays off.So I move behind the table.  I am the House!  BTW Casino's do employ dealer's who know the count and plays....that's how they flag the scammers.And for this last performances I am not dealing death. I am still taking your money, but to give  life and funds for AIDS Concern.Cards, Condoms, and Chips
