    It's not my opinion that Australian law doesn't prohibit players from making bets online, it's objective fact. It's not my *opinion* that gravity exists. It does.

    from https://www.legalgamblingandthelaw.com/au/legal-australian-online-casino-sites ...

    Yet again, the laws you referenced apply to OPERATORS, not PLAYERS. It is NOT against the law for PLAYERS to make bets online. Neither the 2001 or 2017 IGA's prohibit PLAYERS from making bets. This is not an OPINION, it's fact.

    Instead of your crappy, source, let's use the actual government of Australia: "The Interactive Gambling Act sets the rules for companies that offer or advertise gambling services." (emphasis added)

    You finally made it to Google (congratulations), but you didn't evaluate the quality of your sources.

    It is. It's been provided to you multiple times. Just because you variously won't look at it, don't understand it, or dismiss it out of hand doesn't mean it hasn't been provided.

    This article, provided to you before, isn't definitive, but it does contain strong, compelling evidence about why betting systems can't work. If you demand something stronger than that, then you'll first need to show why either the two main piece of evidence in that article are wrong: that the average of any set of negative numbers can be positive, or that past results have no bearing on future results.

    As to the former, you've been caught up on not understanding what negative-expectation means: you think that some results are negative and some are positive. That entirely misses the point. Here's a primer on how casino games are negative-expectation. Until you show that you're able to follow that junior high-level math, stop complaining. And once you *can* follow it, you should be well on your way to understanding why betting systems can't work.

    I wouldn't call it a ridiculous conclusion. the essence of the post is that tg is asking whether the math can be challenged? there is no need for mb to get so intense about semantics.

    I didn't miss it, I addressed it head-on. Like I said, your source is crappy, I cited the actual GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRALIA. Read it. Then again, you might think some worthless gambling affiliate website is more definitive than the actual government.

    There is no Australian law that prohibits players from betting online. Neither of the two laws you cited has any such prohibition, according to what's in the actual law. If you insist otherwise, quote the supposed section of the law that says that players may not bet online.

    Mods, if this thread is getting too hot, may i suggest you deal with the poster making it so. i am happy to discuss things in a calm, polite and respectful manner. i don't think the whole thread should be penalised for one 'aggressive' poster. and, is this poster deliberately being so, to scuttle the thread? i'll leave it to you to decide.

    Exactly. You ignore the evidence when it's presented, offering some excuse. And you wonder why people won't keep spoon-feeding you the answers you demand (as though they haven't already been provided).

    I'm not sure why you're asking me that q axel. The part of the article you copied clearly mentions 3 laws that prohibit online gaming, not online betting. Gaming, meaning online casino games. That's not the same as betting on races or sports. Online lottery is also permitted in Australia. Again, online casino games is not permitted by any Australian in Australia, as per the 3 laws stated in the information I (and you) copied above.

    Poker players in NYC are subject to having their chips confiscated and sometimes will receive criminal summons for being in a disorderly premise. Same with crap players, and others. Being in a poker parlor when the cops raid it is the same as being in a whore house when it is raided. The cops will take your money and may issue you a ticket or they may let you walk. Either way, good luck getting your money back.

    Being in a disorderly premise.
    My evidence is I've seen it in action, or you can search down an interview Alex Rodriquez gave about why he stopped playing, or you could search the internet just like I'd have to.

    https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/23106-nypd-arrest-organizers-of-meetup-com-1-2-poker-game

    Keep in mind that if a drug dog smells drugs on your money, it is seized.

    Poker games are not cash games. You exchange your cash for chips. Cops raid and seize the chips as evidence. Place is shut down. If you are lucky, they let you walk. Who do you see about getting your money back? Lets not forget that these games are illegal and are prone to being robbed. Sometimes they are even robbed by the very people hosting them. There have been tales of more than one phony police raid with the patrons all hustled out by "cops doing them a favor".

    If you've seen player money confiscated, I believe you. It makes sense that if cash is exchanged for chips, the cash isn't retrievable once seized.

    I *did* Google it but couldn't find much. Even in both your links, there's no mention of players being arrested, only operators. I wouldn't argue that it's impossible to be arrested for breaking a non-existent law (it happens all the time), but charges always get dropped in those cases. I also couldn't find any law about "being in a disorderly premise". Some forum suggested ABC 106.6 but that doesn't address players.

    Getting back to the point, you chastised me for (correctly) reporting that there's no law against players gambling in New York:

    Quote: billryan

    Your article says it is okay for players to gamble in NY, that the law only says the operators and the game itself is illegal. So when the cops bust the game and confiscate the players' money, they should feel good knowing they didn't do anything wrong.

    Regardless of other ramifications, my assertion remains true: there's no law against players gambling. What, you think I should report that gambling in NY is illegal when it's not?

    I have no opinion on what you should or shouldn't report.
    I'm trying to think if I've seen cops actually take cash from players. Most games are strictly chips. I know they take the chips and the players lose whatever they had.
    I'm not sure what the law is exactly, but NYC has a way of shutting down premises found to be a nuisance. They use it on whore houses, crack dens, gambling houses, after hours clubs and the like. After X amount of police activity, a judge can declare it a nuisance and anyone in it can get a summons. When enough police activity occurs, the city can take away the CofO , which means the landlord can't even rent it to someone new for a period of time.

    The people running the game are running an illegal enterprise. Since their apartment is being used to run an illegal enterprise, it is a nuisance. As you are patronizing a criminal enterprise in a unlicensed facility, you can explain to the judge how you weren't doing anything wrong.

    I'm unfamiliar with that and I don't doubt it. But I do doubt that someone can be successfully prosecuted just for being present as a player in a gambling den, since gambling in NY isn't against the law.

    If you are interested, here is a fairly even accounting of the law. It is prone to abuse. I've been on two sides of it, from a tenant and from the landlord side, and could only imagine having to love next to some of these.

    I know of two police raids on poker houses in my home city during the past month. These residential houses took a rake and employed dealers (which makes them clearly illegal.). Both chips and all cash on all players were confiscated. Players were arrested by the police in addition to the people running the games.

    And, no I was not involved! But I know people who were.

    And, Billryan's point should be re-emphasized. A person may be able to establish an account and gamble online, despite state law. But when you try to withdraw your money, the casino will suddenly pretend to notice that you are in a state where online gambling is prohibited. And they will close your account and "put a freeze on your assets." And, why not - the temptation to confiscate your money is deliciously irresistable.

    And VPN is not enough to obscure where you live, you are usually required to use a credit card to deposit money and the credit card has a residential address of record. There may be ways around this, but it is not trivial to avoid having your funds confiscated by an online site if your locality prohibits online gambling.

    Gamble: play games of chance for money or things of value.

    You basically play video games online that may or may not use the same "randomness" they use when actually placing real wagers.

    Congratulations, You have figured out absolutely nothing, nada, zilch.... when it comes to a system that could actually be used to profit from gambling.

    When is the last time you gambled online?

    I would say a majority of online casinos accept bitcoin and other crypto. Among those, there are places with good reputations that don't care if you use a VPN or care if you are from Mars, they don't even require you to give a name, phone number or address. And again, if you found the holy grail of online gambling who cares if some of those places confiscated your money?

    Back in the heyday of online bonus hunting individual AP's had 100's of thousands confiscated/no paid and yet they still profited 100's of thousands.

    Even if you were not legally able to gamble there, have you heard of an Air Plane? A powered flying vehicle that's able to transport things( including people) to another location fairly rapidly.

    Wellbush, airplanes are real.
    Sometimes the first one doesn't get you where you want, but you can take two, or four, or eight... and usually get where you're going.

    .there are some proofs that martingale won't work that I found while searching but I have not linked them because they're very scholarly - probably done by PhDs or PhD candidates, and frankly, I can't understand them

    however the image below shows what a guy found using a computer script - he doesn't say clearly but I believe each player's inital bet is $1.00 and a "time step" is a bet

    -
    to me, this is pretty convincing


    First, let me thank you for the very nice compliment. I want to reinforce my position that any "system" where the user wagers identical betting schemes over and over again will NOT (emphasis) result in profitable results. A "system" by its very nature repeats betting patterns which can both win and lose within the same session, but will eventually collapse under the weight of multiple factors depending on the game of choice being played. To be sure, winning does happen if the "gambling gods" align properly with streaks of positive outcomes or the "hot" shooter" appears or the longshot numbers hits, but in general, losing happens much more frequently, and hope does spring eternal.

    The graph and information posted while somewhat convincing is not truly authoritative because: It is a computer simulation which cannot truly imitate casino action, and ignores the potential of a player changing up his betting scheme during play. At this point, I also want to say that I am not a Martingale fan simply because those pesky uninvited streaks would wipe out a very finite bankroll in a hurry especially where table minimums would require a buy in that most players could not afford to start with.

    Quote: lilredrooster

    I also have provided a link to the posts of "thatdonguy" - if you look thru them you will find he has done many computer simulations of many different systems and has also provided a great deal of mathematical insights into gambling - he is an extraordinarily bright guy who has provided a great deal of useful info


    Thanks for the link, however, not to be rude, computer simulations, as I previously stated, are not real or authoritative in nature. They are a lazy way of creating results without putting in the real work of a longitudinal, in depth, personal study that includes trials using real gambling in real casinos with real money at risk.

    The true results would be players going broke at a rate that far exceeds any of the "math" produced by those computer simulations.

    I would like you to answer these simple questions and then there will be a "second round." This is not any form of entrapment, but I want to make a point that will go against the "conventional wisdom" and "establishment" approach to craps.

    4th grade arithmetic:

    1. On average: does the 7 appear once every six rolls of the dice?
    2. If the answer is "yes," is it likely that after 300 rolls of the dice the 7 will appear approximately 50 times?
    3. If this trial were to be extended using 4 shooters or players doing the exact same thing, i.e., 300 rolls of the dice, would their results be more likely or less likely to have similar results?

    By the way, anyone reading this can jump in.

    Live cards and roulette wheels have a sentience that makes their behavior impossible to simulate or mathematically model. Whether this sentience was imbued through mystical means or is extraterrestrial in origin is irrelevant.

    I imagine it has to do with the human factor. Since humans are known to do stupid things and computers aren't, some people are convinced that any computer simulation of human events is off.

    a slight against a nation is racism.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

    Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.[1][2][3][4] It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity.

    Therefore, racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to a United Nations convention on racial discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms "racial" and "ethnic" discrimination.

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ethnic&t=newext&atb=v252-1&ia=definition

    ethnic
    ĕth′nĭk
    adjective

    Of, relating to, or characteristic of a group of people sharing a common cultural or national heritage and often sharing a common language or religion.Being a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture but residing outside its national boundaries.Of, relating to, or distinctive of members of such a group.

    does WOV think that MB does not have sufficient ability to take care with the vocabulary he posts?

    First of all, Wikipedia is a poor source, since literally anyone can edit it. Even me. Even you.

    Second, it doesn't support your assertion anyway. For a comment about Australians to be racist, Australians would have to be a race. Do you truly think that Australians are a race?
