iggiv--Let's discuss something you said.

thanks for the reply,

these questions were really borne when some enlighlened idiot at work said to me.. " if you put a group of chimps in a room with a pen for infinity then they would eventually recreate the works of shakespeare".

I had to refrain from putting my pen in the fools eye!

but imo its the same as roulette... just because something can happen does not mean it ever will or HAS to. Im yet to see or hear of a string of 0- 15 showing in sequence... let alone what IS possible.

I agree with you that no number/ street etc is ever due, but if no PROPOSITION is ever due then i guess no RUN FROM HELL can be either..  each result is a singular event then same must apply to every bet attached to that result.   
We know the run from hell exists and has hit us all but what pickles me is why?.... it doesnt have to....

as for your quote: "People, if you want to shoot birds on the wing stay away from penguins.  Find doves or quail."...  thanks.... more lost sleep :-)




be lucky.

So there is either a cause for the RFH or no cause.

Yet, you may count on it.

More for me to think on..........

G'day...

the maths tell you that if you pick a number of winners. to compensate you must then pick a number of losers. if you were to pick more winners then losers you would be predicting the future. thats why you must lose more then you win.

[Bally44]

The maths also tells you that playing with an edge means you will be a long term winner. It must suck to be in the losers group.

[TwoCatSam]

Pins and Bally are exactly right!

[pins]

as theres no such thing as a edge in roulette . the future not ours to see.

[shaineicus]

Hi Pins,

I agree that after picking x winners you will get x losers....

you say to compensate and there is a mathematical reason why I must place a certain amount on losing bets.

could you please explain this math to me.


Not looking for a row bud, just trying to understand others views..

cheers

--Run from hell?

It doesn't exist in non progressive play.
Flat bet/find a method that suits you best/
and whenever 4+ call it a day.
In 75% cases you should be a winner.

HI MCMconaco,

I refer to run from hell as those sessions where you just cant catch a bet, as in some days at the office you are on form and some you have your head up your *r*e all day. Some days i pick up the guitar and all sounds great and some i cant hit a note.

personally i play as you say, a few units a session does me fine.. think most people here would feel confident they could walk out +3/4 units most days yet a lot of people insist you will lose long term....

Someone here said not too long ago that its easier to win 1 unit of 50 than 50 units of 1... agreed, and since most of us see this as not too unreasonable it leads to what would constitute a successful strategy....

[mcmonaco]

It works for me fine.4-6 head learned methods,flat bet,swapping
it after any +=8-12+ units per session.Very rarely,in fact can't
remember last time it happened,that didn't won as planed.

75%  means 3 out of 4? Not good enough for me.

[iggiv]

what do u mean not good enough? if with EC u win on average  one unit while betting one unit -- 4 time, then lose one unit, u still have 3 units. It is like u bet daily 400 dollars and get 300 out of it on average.
