First...Sam, mighty good of you to reduce the condors for us. The game is more enjoyable this way, and I think it's very cool the way you respond to your fans' requests this way. (Now, while I'm at it: could I have a can of basilisk repellent, imperviousness to trapped treasure chests, and a special treasure-eater-killing sword? Thanks much.)

The thing I really enjoy about Enchanted Forest is that although I pretty much have my various strategies down cold by now, there always seems to be room for a little tinkering and improvement. But there's one area where I've never figured out the right strategy, and I'm looking for some advice: the ogres' gambling sites.

Maybe the best strategy is just to leave them all alone and never bet. The thing is, I'm fairly convinced they pay off better than the stated odds indicate. I only bet if the odds are "2-1", and I suspect I win at least half the time.

How do others of you deal with the gambling issue?
