While making this test, were you able to sense changes in the atmosphere (vibrations, aura, ambience) of the casino?
In conclusion, the oracle bone approach would not work on this because it is bad science. The Yi approach is certainly useful, but only to tell you about whether gambling is really a good idea in your current situation, how you can find an alternative to it if you are trying to use it to make money, etc., etc., with the answer varying according to the state of the universe at the moment you ask and who you are.
cjgait:
I got your point about Shang method, boardering "vodoo" or "wigi board". Even if it does work, I would shy away from using it as its side effect could be more than I am willing to accept.
Per your experience and understanding, if I structure my unquiries in form of "what will occur to my well being...", will my intention and belief afect the accuracy of my readings?
One piece of information I need to supply. I read my result by making inferences from the text I got. For example, if I asked "...bet on red...", and got 20-2,3-57. 20-3 contains a very neutral text, and 20 is a very neutral hex. 57-2 has some favorable lines in the text, so overall the answer is "favorable". But maybe such "stretchy interpretation" could be the problem as well. You stated above:
"...The Yi produces one answer, with changing lines reduced by a mathematical formula to give a single text."
Could you elaborate on this maybe point me to some reference materials? Thank you.
I have chance to re-do this experiment in the near future. How would you suggest I can better take vibration, ambience, aura into account in such experiment?
It might be interesting to ask the I Ching "What can I do to increase my gambling luck?"
I just asked, "What can I do to improve my gambling luck?"
I received 15. Modesty, which in this case I think is a similar message to 60. Limitation.
So thus we see the I Ching can not predict the future but can only help us make informed decisions based on humanities' past experience.
jzy, here are a few hints:

Good luck on your journey down the rabbit hole. Just please be sure to learn about both aspects - gaming and the Yi. It does work (~80%) but you do need to have extreme discipline to be able to benefit.
1-eleven:
Comparing the roulette experiment to forecast stocks, I find a few key differences:
1. The Casino environment is not as comfortable, my concentration may be affected;
2. My subconcious already know the game is in house's favor. In stocks, since I did my fundamental research, the odds can actually be in my advantage.
3. My questions for company stocks are usually more intelligent, frequently may be related to some "catalyst". In roulette, the questions are simple but answers are frequently ambiguous to interpret.
I wlecome your thoughts on these.
To me the message suggests chicken foot soup before gambling.
I know that ultimately the house always wins but I just wanted to say that I've experienced how sometimes trusting feelings pays off.
Just one additional note about "luck". The entire IC text is kind of teaching us how to be luckier: be righteous, steering toward no regret, avoid misfortunes. Reflecing on my own life experience, I did feel luckier when I was moving forward righteously and encountered more misfortune when otherwise. Thus being righteous is an important part of my belief.
When I conduct this experiment, I was testing out how IC accuracy correlates to righteousness. According to your responses, righteousness or not may not matter that much. I will have to think about this and digest.
jz is there any chance you ask Hilary for a more human kind of name...it is hard to call you jz369.
