Notes from Tutorial:

My tutor mentioned areas for improvement in the report:

1. The introduction lacks specific details about the problem or issue. It needs a more detailed explanation regarding the problem being addressed.
2. It could include information about stakeholders, such as providing more details about the individuals interviewed.
3. The report does not sufficiently mention the target audience. It is necessary to clearly define the audience.
4. In the first intervention, the phrase “people willing to participate” should be replaced with a description of our target audience (for example, individuals interested in experiences related to divination and gambling). Additionally, since I haven’t tested my platform, the cultural and educational aspects could be moved to the next steps or explained after testing the platform.

Research Update:

I had interviewed with the Chinese astrologers about the her perspective on the gambler and divination.

Here is the interview transcript:

Me:Do you have any clients who ask you for advice on how to win money? For example, do you have a habit of asking you for a fortune before gambling?

Cyyy:Yes, there are a lot.

Me:How do you deal with people who say they want you to help them improve their chances of winning?

cyyy:Well, there are two views. For example, the Chinese Bu Gua can be considered as a trigram, a short-term one. And then there’s the way I’m going to look at the little horoscope dynamics of it. I will try to tell them which time is more Geely, luck will be more prosperous, let them try to choose this time. Then I will analyze their character and tell them that you should know when to stop it. Because gambling is actually a state of mind.That is, in fact, the mentality of fate, the psychology of the mind is the moon inside the astrolabe, it is actually a direct analysis of personality, that everyone’s habits are different, a kind of gambling. The state is not the same Well, give him a hint ah, or remind them will be better.

Me: There is no guest is according to what you say to do the results did not win the case if encountered this situation is generally how to deal with it. From your point of view, divination on the probability of winning gambling how much 0-100% can take a numerical value?

cyyy:I’m not bragging about this.Including my students, who go up according to the fortune, or my customers, such as gambling in Macau, the general probability accuracy reaches 80%. If according to my way to do, there is no win, the loss should not be great, and then we open to analyze it, if that is to say ugly point, I really did not calculate accurate, I usually direct refund, I will allow myself not to be accurate, can not be 100% completely accurate.

Me:What do you think are the advantages of using divination to help your luck?What advice do you usually give to your clients?Well, I think try to find a way to resolve, for example, at this time, the luck is very easy to fly, then I will suggest customers to move around or what, you say to use the way of divination to completely improve. This is impossible, unless you are a Taoist temple, people do this kind of ritual.My advice to my clients is to quit while you’re ahead, don’t be greedy.

Me: From your point of view, what are the factors related to gambling luck? Is it something you’re born with or can you work on it?

Cyyy:I think this is innate luck, is not to say that some people you really work hard, you will be able to succeed in business, successful people do not say he is really good. I only recognize twenty or thirty percent that you can work hard, you rely on their own diligence, but can not change the general direction.

Me:So if you see a person who has a bad luck but still insists on gambling, will you advise them not to gamble?

Cyyy:I will persuade, but people’s obsession or things that have not happened, they will not be willing to believe, they will still go to gamble, but it will be better, that is, they will accept, they will lose, they will indeed accept, they will not continue to go down as before.

Me:So if a lucky customer comes to you and loses money, and you see that he will lose again, will you persuade him not to gamble?

Cyyy:Yeah, usually a little more persuasive.

Me: So what do you think is the reason for this? Why is it that the lucky gambler who always wins will be more persuaded to stop in time?

Cyyy: This is just like students, good students are willing to listen to the teacher’s advice, bad students are broken.It’s just like why so many rich people believe in feng shui and auspicious days.
