How can you be so sure there are not any psi effects at casinos? Have you done statistical analyses at casinos yourself? Have you interviewed casino managers?

If I remember it correctly Dean Radin did do an analysis of psi effects at casinos and did find an effect. I don't know if his calculations were valid, I'm not a scientist, but on the other hand, I haven't seen any research of this kind from skeptics. So on what basis are you claiming that there is no psi at work at casinos? You are only speculating, saying that if psi were real casino managers should have told the world by now that this is the case, that they should have let scientists conduct analyses and tests, and so one.

You're the one talking about doing science and not basing your arguments on speculation and anecdotes etc, so why do you invent all these scenarios?
