Under Cardinal Rules: You must know the rules of the game you are playing. You must avoid Neptune, eg, alcohol. You must know why you are gambling (for fun? for money? to loose?). Be reasonable in your greed. Under Casinos: Slots in public view pay better than slots in out-of-sight corners. Slots with three reels have better odds than slots with four or more. Dollar slots pay off better than others. If you are losing when you should be winning, the other side may have a better chart than you do. If so, change dealers, or change casinos, or go home & wait for the next good moment. When you win, you should always tip. Regardless of the game, you must know how to bet, and you must have a birth chart accurate to at least one minute of time (instructions how to do this are included). Michelsen's postscript describes his own Winning experiences.
Genevieve has emailed, asking what I know of this. In thinking about it, I sent her this reply, which I share with all of you:
My thanks for your note. Some 20 years ago I was told that after Joyce died, her family, whom I were told were Christians, quashed the book as being not of the faith.
Then about ten years ago, and after I had written my blurb (which you quoted), I heard that before she died (said to be from raging, untreated high blood pressure), Joyce had a conversion and quashed the book herself.
This is all very murky. Some years ago I tracked down some Wehrmans who were living in XXX Canyon, NW of Los Angeles, but did not contact them. The address given in my (photo)copy of the revised Winning is in XXX, which is east of San Diego. These are two very different places. (I've suppressed the names of the two towns, I don't want to disturb these people.)
From her obit at the Astrologer's Memorial, I deduce she was married c.1960. Four sons would be born in the early to late 1960's, which today makes the eldest of them 50, the others in their 40's. So they should all be very much alive at this time.
She was a PMAFA, which isn't handed out casually, though I forget exactly what the PM means. Logically her book should have been picked up & published by the AFA, if not while she was alive, then certainly after she passed. The person who could tell me - Bob Cooper - passed away before I thought to ask him. That he did not is, on the face of it, a strong argument that he was denied permission, in other words, that the book was squashed, as Cooper published everything he could get his hands on. If Joyce herself had a deathbed conversion, then her family would only be carrying out her final wishes.
And if that's true, then after the passage of time - 22 years to date, the family might want to reconsider. All of this leads back to the AFA. Who might know where the next of kin can be found.
So far as I am aware, the Matrix Winning program is unique. It is still available. It started as a DOS program back in the mid-1980's. The program it was based on - Blue*Star - first appeared c.1985, but was not stable until late 1986, as I used it extensively starting in March of that year. Winning had to have been developed in conjunction with Wehrman, which puts her conversion no earlier than 1987. If she actually had one. I am trying to remember this, exactly. I was using the Winning program in 1988, and had heard of it in 1987.
So what kind of "conversion" was it if the Winning program survives intact? This story is beginning to smell a bit. Wehrman's work had to have come to the attention of Vegas, who could not have been pleased with the results. (Find the right 60 seconds, win big, go home, come back the next day, do it again, etc., is a recipe for their financial ruin.)
How about this story: After seeing substantial losses, casino owners made Joyce an offer she couldn't refuse. Lots of money in exchange for perpetual rights to the book. That would quash things right jolly well. How to explain things to her many friends & followers, but not point fingers back at Vegas? Religion would do it. As well as an alleged death from raging high blood pressure. I myself suffer from high blood pressure. When it gets to killer levels, you get the most intense, pin-point headaches, as one or another blood vessel in the brain gets very near the bursting point. It's not a silent killer. You have to be stark staring daft not to heed the warnings. Which I did. If you suffer from this, avoid western medicine. A good Chinese herbalist can do lots better.
If that's the real story, then the What Are Winning Transits book, and the Matrix Winning program survive simply because they were overlooked by the boys in Vegas. At the time of Wehrman's "death" in 1989, the program was still brand-new and not well known. If Wehrman was being pressured by Vegas, she might have conceived the program as her revenge.
So was Joyce Wehrman forcibly "retired" to "Rio"? There to live happily ever after? If that's the case, then if her family is asked for permission to publish the book, their reply will be NONONONONONONONONONONO!!!, but their reasons why will be zilch.
