What happened to "Law of the Third"?

[admin]

Hello there. What happened to "Law of the Third" systems? they were heavily discussed some time ago.
It is said to be inherent to roulette (hence the "LAW", but more of an average in my humble opinion).

Anyone still using them? Great sucess [smiley=im/thumbs_up.gif] [smiley=im/aol16.gif] or Empty pocket at the casino [smiley=im/2003_20.gif] [smiley=im/thumbs_down.gif]?

I have studied hard on the so-called "Law of the Third"  I Googled it and it came back as an idea in photography.

Here's the way I see it.  You have a hundred ping-pong balls in a Keno machine numbered, oddly enough, one through one hundred.  As each ball pops up, you record the number and put it back.  When you have recorded fifty different numbers, on your next ball you have a 50/50 chance of hitting a number your have written down.  When you have written down 75 numbers, you have a 75% chance of hitting one of your numbers.  After 99 numbers are written down, well, you're almost certainly going to hit one of your numbers.  Chance is 99-1.

Now consider this:  You could have just wrote down numbers one through fifty and still have the same 50/50 chance.  So why all the waiting?

I know you know all this.

My question is this:  What does one do with the "Law of the Thirds"?

LOL.

All I knew about the law of the third is it states. In a cycle of 37 spins, 24 numbers will show, 11 (or 13?) of the numbers will repeat, and 12 will not show in that cycle... Something like that.

twocat,
All I know about the law of the third is that when my son uses 2/3 roll of toilet paper I'm left with a third.
