Don't understand the downvotes. This is correct. There is no debate between gambling advice and probability theory, either.
Vladimir_Nesov appears to be trying to sound deep by asserting that a piece of conventional wisdom is false without providing any kind of explanation.
I don't understand this analogy.
Gambling advice is based on probability theory, so the analogy seems to be saying that religion is based on rationality.
Not the gambling advice that has been offered to me.
