Woh Aadmi Jisne Bank Tod Diya

Woh kaun tha

Charles Deville Wells (1841–1922) ek engineer aur aadatan dhokebaaz tha jo aise inventions ke liye investors se paisa uthata tha jo exist hi nahi karte the. July 1891 mein woh aise hi £4,000 lekar Monte Carlo pahuncha. Paanch dinon mein usne kai baar bank toda, yaani ek table ka cash reserve khatam kar diya, aur apne hi kehne ke mutabik lagbhag £40,000 lekar nikla, jo aaj ke kai million pound hain.

Usne asal mein kya kiya

Usne kaha ki uske paas ek kabhi fail na hone wala system hai, aur kabhi nahi bataya ki woh kya tha. Gawahon ko uske khel mein koi saaf pattern nahi dikha, aur koi bharosemand record kisi method ka naam nahi leta; uske naam ke saath aksar joda jaane wala MartingalestrategyMartingaleProgression jo har haar ke baad bet double karti hai.

Gaana

Fred Gilbert ka “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo” (1892), jise Charles Coborn ne gaaya, London ke music halls mein zabardast hit hua aur America tak pahuncha. Iska narrator boulevard par bade aazaad andaaz mein akadta hua chalta hai, aur tab se “broke the bank” ka matlab ek shandaar jeet ho gaya. Gaana doosri visit ka zikr nahi karta.

Doosri visit aur uske baad

Wells usi autumn wapas aaya aur phir jeeta, phir 1891–92 ki sardi mein ek visit par paise ka kuch hissa haar gaya. Usne investors ke paise se ek luxury yacht, Palais Royale, par bhaari kharcha kiya; woh kabhi Monte Carlo nahi pahunchi. 1892 ke aakhir mein French police ne use Le Havre mein pakda, aur March 1893 mein London ki ek court ne use dhokadhadi ke liye aath saal ki penal servitude di. Woh 1899 mein chhoota, 1906 mein ek aur dhokadhadi ke liye teen saal aur mile, aur lagbhag 1911 mein usne Paris mein ek nakli bank chalaya jo roz 1% ka vaada karta tha, jiske chalte woh French jail gaya. 1922 mein London mein uski maut hui. Casino ne 1891 mein £40,000 diye the aur usse zyada publicity mein paaya; use Wells se khoob faayda hua.

Yeh kahani kyun maayne rakhti hai

Yeh kisi system ke “kaam karne” aur phir na karne ka sabse saaf udaharan hai. Dono baar system ne kuch nahi kiya; kismat aayi aur chali gayi, jaisa varianceganitVarianceYeh naap ki results expected value ke aas-paas kitna faile hue hain.

Tab se bika har system apne testimonials mein ek Wells rakhta hai, aur har ek ki ek doosri visit hai jiska testimonial zikr nahi karta.
