Default The ''Ultimate'' Simulation Game Right In Your Own Hometown

The thread below regarding Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, Monopoly and the rest is an interesting read...

Blackjack is my favorite game in the casino and Poker, outside of the casino. I hate playing the "flop" in a casino. I want my own cards, thank-you!

One important element which is missing from all of the above computer simulators and board games are actual emotional, physical interactions.

If any of you really want to feel the adrenaline surge... Head to your local pub!

Sit there for awhile and drink a Pepsi or Coke. Watch the people interact with each other. Try to get a feel for what they are doing. Is the guy in the red ball cap going to take the young blonde home??? Heck no!!! Look at her expressions! She wishes he'd leave already!

What about the booth in the corner??? They are holding hands and looking into each others eyes... Good for them!

But... The couple in the next booth... He's watching the game on the TV while she's trying to talk to him! Examples are endless. Watch how people act and react in situations.

Now you'll not see everything in just one evening... So tell your spouse or significant other, you need to do more research for your business tonight! LOL (Just kidding! Take them along with you and make a game out of it. When was the last time you two went out without the kids anyway?)

Here is the adrenaline part... Watch a certain table or booth for awhile... Then walk over and introduce yourself and begin a conversation about a different topic within their group. See how they respond and act. Do they follow your lead? Are you petrified? Can you hear your heart pounding in your ears? IS your breath becoming short? Do they blow you off and you walk back to where you were?

Ross made the most valid point in the whole thread. He posted in regards to actually getting out and doing something. Ross talked of people buying the Chattel Report, but have all of them put it into actual use? Most likely not. Ross is correct! Most haven't!

As for games, there are great Daytrader Simulators out on the market. Also the very best Flight Simulators money can buy from Microsoft! Even though I own both... Never would I attempt to actually fly, or daytrade, with just simulator experience. Too much to lose. It's safer "playing" at my desktop!

But then I also have casino games on my computer! And when I head to the casino... I wil experiment. Because I can afford to lose some cash. Not the $10,000 daytrading though... Nor my life while trying to pilot a plane. Just because I can takeoff and land safely on the simulator, doesn't mean I have the know how to do the actual thing!

Walking up to strangers, introducing yourself and begining a conversation will cost you nothing!!! Nothing but your pride, ego, adrenaline dumps, and a long walk back to your seat.

And sadly enough... Ross is right. Not many will risk "Having a GO!" with this one. Sitting in front of your computer screens playing games is a safe place for you.

Marketing online is a safe place as well. Until someone questions you or your product on a forum and then all logic ceases and people start flaming one another.

In the real world, when someone is questioned... We better have a dandy response to cement the deal. Attacking someone personally doesn't garner you favor in front of anybody, especially business people!

So get out to your local pub or restaurant and "Have a GO!!!" It cost absolutley nothing and will be the closest thing you ever get to "simulations".

Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee!!!

I will absolutely guarantee you... You will have a feeling in your stomach which no board game, flight simulator, Monoploy game or computer game will give you.

So....

"Have a GO!!!
