The Well: King Yao

[Performify]

A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except Wednesday, you can shout any question down that well, and you'll be told the answer" .

The stranger shouts down several questions, and all are answered. The stranger is impressed, and after thinking a minute he shouts down: "Why not on Wednesday?" and the voice from in the well shouts back "Because on Wednesday, it’s your day in the well".




I'm pleased to introduce King Yao who has volunteered to take a turn in the well.

For those who do not know him, King Yao is a former derivative trader who quit his job in 2000 and now dabbles in gambling. In 2005, he wrote "Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker", a strategic book with an analytical approach. (via amazon).

Yao maintains a blog at http://weighingtheodds.blogspot.com and is currently working on a book "Weighing the Odds in Sports Betting." Yao has also contributed articles to the Two Plus Two Internet Magazine.

Yao has long been a part of the sports betting forum, but not always the most vocal of participants - instead he's one of those posters who when he steps up, tends to step up with valuable information or insight. Its an honor to have him and please treat him - as with all Well participants except Thremp - with all due respect.
