How to know when you have a good strategy.

[Mr J]

  "How to know when you have a good strategy." >>> Good question. This is how I gage it and YES, it might sound a bit odd. During play (assuming I'm ahead) I actually pay off a bill in my head or a partial bill depending on when I need to leave or I'll set a goal of how much the bill is.

EXAMPLE: Lets say I owe $1,200 for 'whatever'. I get to that amount (net) and leave, BILL PAID! Thats how I know I have a good strategy. NOT the neat, cool chips in front of me but how can I BETTER MYSELF once I have LEFT the casino...doing what with the net amount? Ken

How do you know when you have a good strategy?  When the thought crosses your mind....I think I'll post this on VLS.  Then you decide the majority of the members there are not worthy of receiving it.

Spike was right.  You say you'll give away your winning method.  You say and swear that....until you find it!

There is one person on this forum who has done a foolish thing, although I know he is not a fool.  He has given away something he should have locked away for his grandchildren.  I am totally certain there are many who decide not to join his club. 

See what all your hate and negativism has done to VLS? 

This forum has made me sick to my G.U.T for a year now.  Somebody ban me, for God's sake, and put me out of my misery!

Here's a spreadsheet I made for z-score calculation for the following games:

No zero roulette
Single zero roulette
Double zero roulette
Baccarat

@Victor: I couldn't attach the spreadsheet here, it says:

Hi Marven, your spreadsheet is nice but it equals the z-score to the SD.

For instance: 1000 trials, strait bet, 48 hits, result= +4,09

Is the same result for the z-score and SD.

The formula I use for the binomial SD is: Square root of the sample times the prob to win plus the prob to lose.

This formula gives us the value of 1 sd.

square root of 1000x(1/37)x(36/37)=5,12

The mean is 27

Thank you very much Albertojonas 

A mistake in the formula but, the result was correct.

You have the feet of a teenaged girl.

I bet these are your feet:

Was she born with the disfiguring birthmark?
