| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5726 | Bob - Yeah, I checked out those images. One of them has the Emerald City I used. You'll note that some are radically different. Some have a double halo instead of a rainbow. And some aren't even green! Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Ever tried to get to the end of the rainbow? It's always just out of reach... "Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept through nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire, for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829 |

A few months ago I was treated to a complete bow, unbroken across the sky, both ends diving into earth. First time I ever saw a complete one. "Baccarat is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home. If I could have borrowed his oar I would have stayed." Mark Twain |

| boymimbo Member since: Nov 12, 2009 Threads: 12 Posts: 2533 | My parents believed that they drove through the end of a rainbow once. I voted number #4 followed by #7. I like the histogram over the Emerald City. -----

The Wizard ought to register the trademark though. There are (were) other folks using the, "Wizard of Odds" or "Wizard of Vegas" monikers on the web. Remember the in home massage guy? There's also a listing for a "Wizard of Odds Gaming Consulting" on Sienna Vista, but this may be our patron's. |

I think I did register Wizard of Vegas and Wizard of Macau. Wizard of Odds I didn't because it was used before me, for example by a game show starring Alex Trebec, preceding Jeopardy. I used to live on Sienna Vista Drive. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| Paradigm Member since: Feb 24, 2011 Threads: 14 Posts: 217 | I voted 8 as I think it looks cleaner and I like the more realistic Emerald City graphic. I get the Rainbow reference and the fact that often it is present in pictures of Emerald City, but I think you get the point of the Emerald City without the rainbow due to the yellow brick road and the realistic image of the City. |

| belleepoque Member since: Dec 9, 2011 Threads: 2 Posts: 17 | Even tho im new here and roaming thru the math and gambling posts i agree with Evenbob...artistically the rainbows look kid like...the first few look like graphs to me...i actually like the last one. When i found the site i had no idea what the green was about. Simple is best. Imho. |
