Randomness versus unpredictability

GOOD GUESSING. SOME DAYS I CAN NOT GO WRONG. AND SOME DAYS I CAN NOT HIT A NUMBER.

Do you know why that happens to you?

You are both good guessers and nothing else.>>

Do you know how ridiculous that is? There's no such thing as a 'good guesser', either you know something or you don't. If you consistantly guess better than 50% of the time, obviously you have an edge and writing it off to 'good guessing' is preposterous.

I recall you saying that "educated guessing" was the foundation of your method. That the method works means you are good at guessing. How can you call that conclusion preposterous when it was your very words that led me to it in the first place? It just backs up my belief that most of what comes out of your mouth regarding randomness is drivel.

Being good at guessing is not the same as being lucky at guessing. BTW, congratulation on claiming that you can discern information from randomness.

Let's define a few things.

Spins from Roulette can be written down in a chart. The spins are from a machine that produces them and are  sufficiently representative of an almost fair representation of randomness. In other words, the game of Roulette attempts to use randomness to create fairness.

Reading comprehension is cleverly described by experts as the process of "constructing meaning" from a text.  Can a chart of mathematical equations fit a process for "constructing meaning" from a text? Then, can a chart of spins from a Roulette game fit a process for "constructing meaning" from a text? If after reading a situation existing in that chart can a trained person "construct meaning" enough to make a bet selection? It's absurd to say you can't read randomness. It's not absurd to say that most people can't construct meaning from randomness.

I'm not controlling anything. I can only delete my own posts, just like you. Post what you want.

Hello Mark, as a moderator you should have "Split topic" functionality displayed. Main idea being expelling unrelated/unproductive posts from threads and let them continue being on topic.

As a moderator we trust your judgement to take threads on topic.

Once they are splitted by you, a fellow Global moderator will move them.

Regards,
Victor
