Ion Saliu started in earnest the enterprise of self publishing his major works in philosophy and theory of probability. The main method is via self-publishing book companies. Having a book in print helps a lot the cause of copyright protection as well. You get an ISBN (International Standard Book Number), registration with the Copyright Office, and registration with the Library of Congress.

I accomplished a great goal: I published my first book. The title of the book is Probability Theory, Live! Evidently, the book deals with theory of probability, a branch of mathematics.

From the publisher's press release:

Read a formal review of my book in ForeWord Clarion Review, kind of a little bible of the publishing industry. Then read a strong opinion regarding the Clarion review — kind of a short review of a review. You know, I like what they did…the ClarIon(s)! They chose a woman to review my book. She gave me an acceptable 2 of 5. Chances are, a man would have "rewarded" me with "zero out of five"! I'm not kidding! I am notorious for bringing out the worst in men! That really feasts my ego! I must be really good…I mean really great…if I make some men feel like dying out of hatred towards yours truly!

The world governments at all levels are hostile to winning gamblers because they lose money in tax revenues. Even governments in the United States hate winning gamblers, including computerized lottery players — who pay at least one-third of jackpot wins to federal taxes.

The governments want you hear their shouting message loud and clear: "It's a tax on stupidity … stoopid! You win — You R a criminal!"

The physical casinos in Atlantic City record staggering winning percentages that defy theory of probability. Is this the effect of blatant cheating or the result of stupid gambling by most players? Bad gambling systems promoted by the casinos themselves, including card counting at blackjack? Tipping... way too much tipping, by gamblers during winning streaks? A combosnation of factors, to be sure...

New blackjack software precisely generates all favorable cases (busted hands) and all possible cases (total blackjack actions). Thus, mathematically precise calculations of the blackjack odds and house edge are possible for the first time ever. The historic algorithms are here for everybody to see, read, comprehend, and fully verify.

• Blackjack Dealer Bust: New Software to Calculate Odds, House Edge at Blackjack - August 31, 2009; updated August 10, 2010.
  The odds (probability) for dealer's bust are (is) significantly higher. Instead of John Scarne's 28%, the dealer bust odds fly to at least 41.97%. That affects a player's outcome by a lot ... negatively speaking! The old — and incorrect — house edge was .28 * .28 = 7.8%. The new and much more accurate house advantage is .4197 ^ 2 = 17.6% — a 10% boost for the casino! That's the reason why the generic blackjack player loses faster and more than the generic roulette player. The so-called gambling gurus or experts will never admit that to that … truth!

  New blackjack software precisely generates all favorable cases (busted hands) and all possible cases (total blackjack actions). Software available for sale, including the source code … as per the article above.

This is the most powerful roulette software application anywhere. It bundles in a convenient system the most important pieces of sport bet software created by Ion Saliu.
Version 1.0; software category: 5.4.

There have been questions in my forums (a message board hosted independently from SALIU.COM). Also, I've received questions from readers of my book. Why don't I present clearly and in detail that lotto strategy that hit a jackpot in 1986 (although was not played)? The detailed lotto strategy follows, plus instructions to apply it today.

To this date, the blackjack odds are the same as John Scarne calculated them in the 1950's. The computers back then were not the commodity they are today. And John Scarne was NOT a computer programmer! The way he calculated the odds made sense for the first two and three blackjack cards on hand. The game of blackjack, however, can have much longer hands: From 2 cards to 10 cards per hand (up to 11 cards for two or more decks in the game).

Yours truly, Ion Saliu or Parpaluck, has finally emitted light on this dark matter. The odds (probability) for dealer's bust are (is) significantly higher. Instead of Scarne's 28%, the dealer bust odds fly to at least 41.97% (skyrocket up to 64.89%). That affects a player's outcome by a lot ... negatively speaking!

The streaks will be worse for the player under these new circumstances (which I believe to be the correct ones). No wonder so many blackjack players are dismayed to hear that blackjack is almost a 50-50 game, if playing basic strategy! The players lose far more than the so-called mathematical expectation. I did hear casino players at the blackjack tables expressing anger after quickly losing all their chips. It was better to play roulette, some said. I certainly agree with them right now. The house edge at roulette is better than in blackjack! Yes, some will always stigmatize you: Roulette is a sucker's game! Not anymore!

If you play blackjack, be sure to sit in last chair, just before the dealer. The more players at the blackjack table, the better you are. And be sure to chip in with at least the table's maximum limit (to withstand long losing streaks). Try to play no more than 100 hands at the same table (higher probability for shorter losing streaks). If you and I happen to be at the same table, be grateful and let me sit at the third base!

No, the casinos couldn't resist reacting…once again! They should know by now that I don't get intimidated. Yet, they keep reacting every time I publish something of great importance. No doubt, my new research in calculating the blackjack odds of busting is ground-breaking. The new figures will surely have an impact on the game of blackjack. They even make me a criminal by association! They compare me to the criminals who become their own lawyers! You can read an hostile email I suspect originated in a casino highly paid office.

You might have read Internet ads such as: "Roulette System That Won Millions". There are YouTube shows as well! The roulette system in point (or collection uv roulette systems) is promoted by a gambling vendor (or a group of gambling developers) in Australia - GenuineWinner.com, RouletteComputers.com, HybridRouletteComputer.com. Da systems represent flagrant piracy of roulette systems and software I discovered as early as the year 2000.

I did not discover that act of piracy on my own. It is impossible to know about everything that takes place in this world. I received inquiries, however, that raised the level of my curiosity. Then, a direct, blunt question: Was Ion Saliu behind that Down Under roulette system? Or did I license a group of entrepreneurs to market my strategy and software? Probably a user of the above roulette system ... guaranteed to win (or guaranteed to be an act of piracy!) It was clear to me that the gambler in cause was frustrated. The half-based roulette system does NOT work as advertised! You might not see a strong roulette wheel bias in a long, long time.

Apparently, the law had its effects: The Australian roulette pirates got really scared! They announced at their website that they decided to stop selling their roulette system and roulette computers!

Microsoft Windows 7 was a much needed upgrade to Windows Vista. Windows-7 discarded the cumbersome features in Vista, thus resulting in a far superior computer PC operating system. Even one of my personal favorites was fixed: Show the underscore for the acceleration keys in menus and context-sensitive menus!

Ion Saliu discovered that the famous Birthday Paradox can lead to winning lottery, lotto, and gambling systems. It's all about the beginning of the game, accurate recording of data (trials, drawings, spins, etc.) and calculations of 50-50 chance for a repeat. See real-life cases in Pennsylvania lottery and Hamburg Spielbank (Casino), Germany.

To this date, the blackjack odds are the same as John Scarne calculated them in the 1950's. The computers back then were not the commodity they are today. And John Scarne was NOT a computer programmer! The way he calculated the odds made sense for the first two and three blackjack cards on hand. The game of blackjack, however, can have much longer hands: From 2 cards to 10 cards per hand (up to 11 cards for two or more decks in the game).

Instead of Scarne's 28%, the dealer bust odds fly to at least 41.97% (skyrocket up to 64.89%). That affects a player's outcome by a lot ... negatively speaking!

The BJ dealer's bust probability had been calculated by the method known as guesswork. In strict mathematical terms, however, probability, p, is always calculated by dividing the number of favorable cases, n, by the number of total possible cases, N: p = n / N. New blackjack software precisely generates all favorable cases (busted hands) and all possible cases ... and then, some!

This is the most powerful horseracing software application anywhere. The upgraded bundle includes new programs, notably the powerful SoftwareHorses3.exe. It also comes with a new interface to run under 64-bit Windows Vista.

Windows Vista is a failure by any standards and Microsoft has come to terms with the truth. Don't discard of Windows XP yet, but dual boot with Hasta-la-Vista-baby to run all LotWon lottery, gambling and scientific software. Parpaluck shares with you the most effective and accurate step-by-step tips. You need to print first all instructions on paper. Then have a drink and do nothing until the following day. A backup of your PC and a rehearsal are strongly recommended.

The mathematics of gambling and lottery is intensely assaulted and threatened. Even the federal court system is decidedly opposed to mathematics applied to gambling. Read an astonishing ruling of a federal appellate court that resembles the legal decisions favorable to mafia prior to 1980's, when FBI successfully put the mob out of business.

Press Release: Zeno's Paradoxes Undeniably Solved For The First Time Ever - June 3, 2009.

For more than two millennia, the paradoxes conceived by the Sophist Zeno (Zenon) of Elea were considered unsolvable: Impeccably logical arguments that lead to false conclusions. I solved for the first time ever Zeno's Paradoxes. I, Ion Saliu, discovered the first metaphysical or philosophical or logical solution to Zeno's riddles, or aporiae, or paradoxes. I applied the logical and mathematical method known as reductio ad absurdum. I demonstrated undeniably that Zeno's Paradoxes are absurdities. There is absolutely no logic to a Zenon paradox.

A most philosophical piece of advice: Every human must immediately claim credit for what's legitimately his or hers. False modesty is a robbery tool manipulated by the lowlifes. There is no virtue in hiding the Truth and giving illegitimate credit to the undeserving. Truth is above anything and anybody. This rule is the most virtuous form of nurturing and feeding one's ego.

Three new lotto software utility programs work with single and multiple number groups for lotto 5, lotto 6 and lotto-7: Pairs (doubles), triples, quadruples, quintuples, sextuples. Presenting also more details on lotto mathematics, parpaluck (range of analysis), and potrocel (span of lottery drawings for the degree of certainty to come to fruition).

"Halloween Day was meant to scare the hell out of the odds," sez this native of Dracula Land. BRRRRRRRRAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Oh, my! I am having so much more fun than in any of my previous lifetimes! Ay, qué...BRRRRRRRRAHAHAHAHA.....

This website had a Shopping page from its inception. Things change so rapidly in the virtual world! Online shopping has become a major form of commerce worldwide.

My old online shop had become outdated. I just made some major updates, by becoming an online affiliate with famous and outstanding firms. The variety is also great, even at this time of starting up.

Shop gloriously, but without bidding: Encyclopedias, books, textbooks, magazines, CD, DVD, desktops, servers, notebooks, software, electronics, appliances, apparel, footwear, sportswear, fitness, outdoors, personal, financial, gift cards...

Presidential elections, dirty tactics, partisan misery... The Joe with a gun in his hand goes after the opposing political candidate by committing the crime of slant or libel. Forget about violating the intellect of an independent voter (a U.S. citizen who is not affiliated with any political party). I know that the dirty mailing campaign of the Pennsylvania Republican Party is after voters such as myself. The party base is never enough for any political party to win. All political parties badly need the independents. Or even the independent-minded members of the opposing political party. It looks like the political party in despair has to apply miserable tactics. The trailing-in-the-polls party desperately needs the independent voters.

I came across two recent legal cases against the casinos. One was posted on the BJ21 forum, another one on the blackjackforumonline. You know what really made blackjack card counting such a loud myth? It was the legal case of a revered blackjack player named Ken Uston. In my book, he was a crook, a casino mole.

Prediction is a mathematical science founded on the number of trials and Ion Saliu's concept of degree of certainty. Nothing comes in absolute certainty, and the tragedy begins with weather.

Lottery mathematics in a nutshell for most humans to comprehend and take advantage of. Nothing without mathematics!

The summer of the year of grace 2008 (since tribunicia potestas were granted to Octavianus Augustus) was a tough time for the grand web master. Yours truly had to do lots of corrections and other changes to the grandiose website of the entire world. A master's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

You might have wanted to see a complete list of all the files in the /messages/ directory (folder). I don't allow such a feature for security reasons. On the other hand, it is a bad idea to list all the messages on one web page. It is hard to view, and the search engines detest pages with more than 100 links. Therefore, I will list here only the archives of the message board.

Dating history brought to my attention a shameful act committed by the Western Civilization. The Western World, being predominantly Christian, adds BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini) to years. It is wrongly assumed that AD represents the era beginning with the birth of the mythical Jesus of Nazareth, considered by the Christians to be the Christ or Messiah.

In truth (historical truth, that is), the dating of years starts with the Roman Emperor Octavianus Augustus. More specifically, year #1 of Our Era or Common Era (wrongly identified as Anno Domini or the Year of Christ) represents a specific moment in history regarding the reign of Octavianus Augustus: tribunicia potestas.

See the entire composition of the guests who are kind enough, and some not nearly kind enough, to visit my hou'. They all started the journey some 35000-55000 years ago in the heart of Africa. I can say they have been really fast, all things considered! It is a super wonder that they were able to leave the House of Lion King unimpeded.

Are they evil, or are they saint? Yes, we are! BRRRRRRRRAHAHAHAHA... Our good friend across the timeline, Publius Terentius Afer, put it better than any Homo sapinens:

By the way – A quick answer to an intriguing question always leveled at yours truly. Why do I respond like I do on some occasions? I got a quick Latin answer for you, Super Crocodilule!

Better late than never! I didn't pay much attention to that mole who posed as a teenager, Jackal, with gambling interests and who was also a drunkard. I thought first it was a conspiracy committed with the chairman of MGM-Grand Casino, John Schroder, to throw me in a dangerous legal situation of condoning underage gambling and alcohol drinking. I let them off the hook...

Several years thereafter, I realized who the Jackal was. None other than a noted gambling system developer and gambling book writer: John Patrick. The ultimate casino mole himself! When I warned would-be gamblers interested in buying casino systems, I was referring chiefly to the John Patrick "casino gambling systems". I had a casino gambling CD of his. It was shot inside a casino, with real TV cameras!!!

I am glad I never succumbed to that mocking reaction towards yours truly: "You are paranoid!" I've had sooo many first-hand experiences being attacked by moles and exposing them! I might have been wrong in very, very few cases! Conspiracy is the most common fact of life and paranoia is the most common defense.
To be suspicious is not a fault. To be suspicious all the time without coming to a conclusion is the defect.
Suit your manner to the man.

A New Commission to Regulate the Internet Casinos and Online Gambling: eCOGRA - June 20, 2008.

Yet another self-appointed governing body of Internet online gambling. Beware! Fraud still rules! I already saw the list of online casinos that received eCOGRA seal of approval. If you don't see what they do, you do not play!
