I posted this a long time ago and I am still on roll, the key to winning is to have a large bank roll and win a small amount, My method take 10k into a casino and win 1k. I am 26 and 0 using this method. I know you negative people will say it only a matter of time before I go broke, but by that time it won't matter because I have won more than my initial bankroll. Examples, using math when playing video poker , I had 4 cards to royal flush over 200 times and still to this day never hit one when I was so close to a royal flush, but for some reason I hit the royal flush holding 1 card and 2 cards and 3 cards but for some odd reason 4 to royal I cannot catch a break, odds say 1/47 and I am 0/200, this is what statistics do to you saying I am due, how does one know when one enters in the long run, the long runs is consider infinity and it is impossible to count to infinity.

My bankroll is not 36K I said I won 26 times of course I spent money in the casino with those wins, video poker and high stakes slots going for the big win. Many times I came home even due to my slots losses but on the table games, yes just pick up 1k and walk from the table games for that day.

same with me
my 9 Royals to date have all been from holding 3 or 2 or 0 to the Royal
I figured the games were rigged as they were back in the 1980s when American Coin did it and the NGC let them get away with it for over 3 years, if I remember the story details,
so we all know it is still done today but done in a more clever way, in my opinion

well, what happens if you would have hit all 200 of them?

really,
out of the 201 possible results you (at 0 Royals) are at the 10th highest possible outcome.
Not the 1st or 2nd or even the 100th
just number 10

no math shown as I pulled the numbers out of thin air

that has to make you feel much better not being so special that is
number 10 (a 10) and not 007

My bankroll is always 10k, that is what I always bring not matter what I win. I use any winnings for other expenses, when I lose that 10k then I will have to re-think my plan, but it has not come to that as of right now, just living the moment and see how long it will take to lose my 10k, maybe I can 200-0 before I lose my 10k, we shall see.

Even though the house has an advantage on any table game, I would even bet the Wizard would agree with me that, If my goal was to win 1k and my bankroll 10k going into a Casino, I would be the math favorite coming out the casino. Given that there can be only 2 possible outcomes, either I win or lose everything, and I would be a heavy math favorite that I reach my goal.

Man, don't shorten the word to "prepping", it makes one think of doomsday. Doom and Macau shouldn't share a single thought. But seriously, that's exciting news dude. I'll ask about your toss later, so as not to chap hides.

Yes of course. If you are willing to lose 10K vs a win goal of 1k, you are a favorite for that short term window, but you will still lose in the long run. Just the same as the often dissected Martingale will have you a favorite to win through one cycle. But when the losing cycle hits, you will wipe out all those small wins plus some.

With no mention of playing with an advantage, you seem to just be attempting to re-write the facts that "no betting system can over come a negative EV game". All you are doing, is redistributing the wins and losses in a way where you will have many small wins, and fewer large losses. But the end long-term result will still be the same. It is a losing proposition.

Yes in long run I will lose, but who knows when that will happen, like I said I have gotten over 200 four to royal flush dealt and yet to hit one, last week on 10 play, was dealt 4 to a royal and not one hit, that makes it over 210 times, am I due, odds say 1/47, I figure by the time I get my Royal Flush the casino will get my 10k bankroll. I figure if I keep missing my 4 to a royal , then the casino will keep missing my 10k bankroll.

I did hit a royal flush holding 1 card and that 178,000 to one, but for whatever reason every time I get 4 to royal it a billion to one, explain that. Math is very funny, on what should happen and what actual happens, I figure I should have lost my 10k bankroll long time ago, but it still did not happen yet, may be I can go 210 like my 4 to royal before I lose my 10k bankroll.

I don't think it's mindless at all. If you can consistently make 1K/day playing tables, why on earth are you consistently going and spending it on slots? Go get that 1k a day and the hell with the slots. The rest was a joke reference to your name.

Don't shoot the messenger. It's a good question.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Yes of course. If you are willing to lose 10K vs a win goal of 1k, you are a favorite for that short term window,

10/11 = about 91% against no edge
say 90% to win one time (just an examples)

one would need to win 10 times in a row to double the 10k and a loss will not take more than the 10k

so abouts 0.9^10 = 0.3486784401
abouts a 1 in 3 chance of success.

that is way easy for about 1 in 3 that try the OP system.
2 out of 3 are not happy with OP system of play they are off to do something else after a bankroll bust

I think OP could increase his win rate of doubling a 10k bank by betting (BBB) all $10k on 00Roulette - RED at 18/38 or
47.368421052631578947368421052632% win probability

maybe RED is a winner

Hogwash! In blackjack there is a very definable 'long term'. It relates to N0.

As for the rest of your post, it appears, you are basically trying to twist words and looking for 'technicality' disputes, rather than to reasonably discuss what the OP is doing in an effort to maybe help him not lose all his money. That's not my game.

Well, to be honest, I don't often look at the forum titles. I usually just respond to threads in the recent thread section as if they are legitimate discussions. I guess I will have to pay more attention to the sub forums and choose my participation more closely, to avoid participating in the non-sense discussions.

I agree the notion of playing every day is silly. Why not play 2x per day, or 10x? The "day" is an arbitrary cutoff for your system, isn't it? Why not redefine a day to be 6 hours or 4 or whatever?

Imagine if you could increase your run rate from $365,000 to $3,650,000!

But on a serious note, I think you should consider seeing someone about your problem, unless you have enough fun to last you through the impossible "long run" time when you have 3 losing sessions out of 10 and lose your winnings. I can sympathize with the thought of being up on a trip and saying, "why not chase a progressive jackpot", but if you are taking your not-so-certain-but-you-think-certain winnings and blowing them as well, I would hope you realize how much utility you need to be deriving from the experience to justify it.

And if you are cool with losing 500k or 2 mil or who cares how much, because you enjoy spending your money in a casino, then by all means, have a blast!

So what, if the long run = forever? Every bet you make, you become that much closer to the long run.

And guess what, it's not "I'm not in the long run so EV doesn't effect me". Maybe that's what you think, though, sally -- I don't think anyone would be surprised if that were the case, judging by your posts.

After 10,000 rounds played, you are more likely to be a loser, than say, 1,000 rounds played. I don't think Sally agrees, though, since " long run = hogwash" comment. If you agree, then explain your long run is hogwash comment. If you disagree, well.....I guess my opinion of you won't change.

I wish

It takes a fool to know a fool
long run = forever
betting systems add FUN to gambling



Ok. I admit it. I didn't literally laugh my arse off, fancy wishing such an affliction on me :)

I don't know kewjl, but he knows his stuff. He may or may not enjoy his game as much as Sally or the OP, but his longevity in the game will be more likely to be dictated by his choosing rather than his bankruptsy.

I do agree that betting systems add fun to gambling. They add fun, they add danger. I usually gamble for fun within my modest 'fun' budget. I even admit to martingdaling my way from £495 to £500 when I've found myself in that position: A pointless exercise because neither the £5 or £495 would change my life.

But I really take Sally to task on the long run equating to forever. If one is risking say 10,000 every day with a 90% of winning 1,000 then think of the possible scenarios. After 10 days one would have between 0 and 20,000. If less than 10,000 then one might top up from other sources, or maybe quit gambling as a lifetime loser. If greater than 10,000 one might start risking more per day. Rinse- repeat. Whatever the choice, and even without regard to house edge, one would count in days or tens of days the lifetime of one's original bankroll. In the above example after 22 days, to my reckoning, before there's a 90% chance of hitting that loss.

So, Sally, call us what you will, but don't discount the risk of ruin without considering the cost of ruin. Some who play for fun soon end up gambling more than they can afford in the belief that ruination won't strike in their lifetime.

And I don't understand the comment about the right toe. <edit> Groan, it came to me as I slept. I'd wrongly assumed that this forum operated in English. Now I figure 'right toe'='righto'. I still cannot figure the meaning in that context but maybe that will come to me</edit.> :)
Psalm 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Proverbs 18:2 A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion.

you do not agree that
the long run = forever

take it up with this guy then
The Wizard looks to be more specific (and that is good)

"This is one of the most frequent questions I get.
You truly arrive at the long run after an infinite number of hands.

Sally

I threw some math on top of the betting system salad and they all
got mad.
too bad

and this crazy carzy code that I completed keeps following me around
 <snip> <snip>
A = matrix(0,m+2,m+2,dimnames = list(c(1:(m+1),0),c(1:(m+1),0)))
A[m+2,m+2] = 1
A[m+1,m+1] = 1
A[1,m+2]=q
A[m,m+1]=p
A[1:(m-1),2:m] = diag(p,m-1,m-1)
#A
S <- A[1:m,1:m]
diag(S[-1,])<- q
#S

T <- A[1:m,(m+1):(m+2)]
#T
I <- diag(m)
#I
Q <-solve(I-S) # Gives Matrix Q
#Q
#Q %*% vQ # gives Matrix Mu
Q %*% T # gives Matrix SteadyState

Ahigh, finish your simulation,
my code calculates!!

There you have it. You are running good on tables and bad on slots. Somewhere in the world Auric Goldfinger is doing the opposite. He thinks he has a vp/slot system.

So you have this system that makes you 1k on tables, yet you blow most of it on slots. AP's and even ploppys call that, a degenerate gambler.

Who in their right mind, with a system that made 1k each time, wouldn't do it everyday?



You can't do it everyday, this is why I don't quit my day job, and who ever said this will always work, I only said I gotten away with 26 times, and if I go gamble on slots it for entertainment only, I think you reading about gambling systems makes you a degenerate gambler otherwise you would not be reading this.

I don't think it's mindless at all. If you can consistently make 1K/day playing tables, why on earth are you consistently going and spending it on slots? Go get that 1k a day and the hell with the slots. The rest was a joke reference to your name.

Don't shoot the messenger. It's a good question.



I admitted I will lose at some point, I don't do everyday, it a crap shoot, all I was saying I got away with 26 times, It not guarantee and I don't live in a casino and I only visit casino only once a month at most. I don't live in Vegas so I can go to a casino everyday, the nearest casino about 3 and half hours and I can only go once a month if that. If you think I was stating this will always work, you need to re read my post. All I said in the long run they will get my bankroll, like one day I will get that 4 to royal flush but who to say when that day will come, if I can beat odds at 178,000 to one, and I only go to the casino 12 times a year they may never get my bankroll not in my life time.

I quit my job in the early 90's.

I never need to worry about the long run, I normally only play situations where I have a significant chance to be ahead in the short run. If i play a more long term type of situations, I play with caution and within my comfort zone.

Playing slots for entertainment is fine. However, you seem to have indicated, it has cost you a sh*it ton of your 1k a day winnings. That's not very entertaining in my book.


jamesbond007"I think you reading about gambling systems makes you a degenerate gambler otherwise you would not be reading this."

If this is true then just about every other person on gaming forums are degenerate gamblers, so it would be true of most. Since you actually start and post in many threads concerning this crap, I would have to think this is 007 true for you.

A few notable and real people will tell you I'm the opposite of a gambling degenerate.

You only have your keyboard and device as a witness to anything you claim. One only need to read some of your posts to get a good picture of your credibility.
