Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

ALMA director Pierre Cox noted, "Like Scotland, light goes in but doesn't come out."

I can just see you back in time as agreat exponent of the Inquisition.

if you are ever in Glasgow a meal in a posh restaurant!!

Wekll if it was that simple that would be something else but you overlook you have done the same yourself over time. Tut, tut. Get thee to Edinburgh! 

Why he's already trying to poison poor Belfrager with Glasgow cooking,

instead of sending him to Las Vegas, where we'll treat him to a full buffet. After that, we'll allow him to deposit his full life saving on a gaming table and he won't have the stress of worrying about it at anymore.

I guess I could come up with a simple system for roulette, ie if it lands on red twice in row, bet on black but it would be hard to actually come out ahead like that.

Since you, rjhowie of Scotland, were arrested or cited as suspect, reported denounced accused of holding the errors and erroneous opinions of the Protestants,  - errors which they hold and teach contrary to right faith, the state of the holy Roman and universal church, and apostolic authority - and you have been brought before us, Belfrager the inquisitor, then required and admonished by us several times according to legal form to swear that you will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth both concerning yourself and concerning your accomplices, believers and benefactors, alive and dead, as it relates to the matter of heresy and especially the errors and erroneous opinions of certain Protestants who extoll themselves in opposition to the faith, the Roman church, the apostolic seat and the power of the pope and other leaders of the Roman church, and you refuse to swear simply and absolutely, but will only do so with certain conditions, reservations and under protest - conditions, reservations and protests which are entirely foreign to law and reason - I the aforesaid inquisitor Belfrager order and admonish you once, twice and thrice, according to legal form, under pain of excommunication, to swear before us on the gospel of God in judicial process, simply and absolutely, without condition or reservation contrary to law and reason, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning yourself and your accomplices, believers, benefactors and defenders, living or dead. Acting as a witness, tell whatever you know, knew, saw, believe or believed concerning heresy, and especially concerning the errors and erroneous or schismatic opinions held by you and other Protestants, and concerning anything else pertaining to the matter of heretical depravity. And out of mercy and grace I give you as a first term from this hour until the sixth hour of this same day, and as a second term from the sixth hour until the ninth, and as a third and final term from the ninth hour until vespers, or until completorium of this day. And unless by that final time you swear in the manner indicated, the legally required admonitions having been delivered, by the apostolic authority I bear through the office of inquisition by this same written document I excommunicate you and pass sentence of excommunication upon you, and I offer a copy of it to you should you wish to have it and request it. This sentence was given in 2014, on the second day of August, with the DnD people present.

Really well done, Belfrager.

You could actually doing good with a simple system if you could always double your bet, but you can't. It 's forbidden at all the casinos and there's people there just to watch if you are doing it.
A group of people apparently unrelated could try it but you don't win too much, if any, because there's a ceiling for bets also to prevent it.
