I don’t chase wins. I observe them—like watching firecrackers fade into dawn at a temple fair where every bet is a whispered prayer.

My Master’s in Game Design at Stanford taught me that chance isn’t random—it’s composed. The ‘Feng Niu’ table? Not a slot machine. A living myth. The庄闲 ratio (45.8% / 44.6%)? Not odds. A heartbeat synced to centuries-old rhythms.
