OnceDear's Method : As it applies to Roulette, Baccarat, SicBo and any games with a games history Marquee.
That there is a marquee present is of ZERO significance or value. If that marquee indicates a trend or pattern it's of no more importance or use than if you spill some ink spots and see a picture of a butterfly. No Value at all. No Ifs, No Buts, No giving a damn that some trend seems to be present. It all means NOTHING. It adds NOTHING. It has no part to play in OnceDear's Method. The Method stands on it's own without any game history display.
You'll note that I like to play BlackJack with my Method. Blackjack has no game history marquee.
I'll probably refer more to marquees and history displays after a few more (winning) sessions.

A grand accomplishment at showing screenshots of incomplete or missing pages, cherrypicked data, adding and subtracting casinos from your data. Sounds very scientific to... NO ONE.Quote: EvenBobQuote: odiousgambitI wish Bob well, generally, but not in this matter. This is exactly the matter of a "freeroll" had there been a bet involved. You can't allow someone to back out for free, I'm sure I don't need to go on. Since there was no bet, I say it still can't be "free" so I am glad you said this and I am piling on. It is outrageous and this piling on is deserved

I don't know what's outrageous but if you're piling on because you think I crashed and burned, you could not be more wrong if you put your mind to it. The polar opposite happened, it was a spectacular success there was not a single crash, not a single burn, not a single losing session. The entire experiment was a grand accomplishment, and once again your wishful thinking is dashed to the ground. You should be used to that by now.

Why don't people understand how easy it is to show you are winning while playing a -EV game without an advantage?
It's hard for me to believe people can fall for this. I should just sell betting systems and whatnot. I can show what seems like legitimate proof of consistently winning thousands and thousands on everything from slots to the big 6.
I could even show actual legitimate proof using +EV methods.

The difference between BJ & craps is that I can play 200 hands of BJ and come out even after being down the entire time. On the PL in craps, I think I'd multiply by 8.5 or something, not sure what, to get the number of rolls it would take me to go through 200 shooters and get the same result. So 1700 rolls of the dice to get nowhere, or nearly 19 hours at 90 rolls per hour. I feel I'm wasting my time at the craps table and I need to either make more bets per shooter or switch games to play BJ.

link to original post
Is OnceDear's Method a betting system? I'm not arguing either way. There is a method whereby something is done methodically and even repeatedly. It is rule based and Betting is done. Yayyy even GAMBLING is done. We could call it OnceDear's Gambling Method. So if a system is a method is a system is a method, I'm fine with that. It certainly belongs in the BS subforum. Call it what you will.
Is this thread a parody thread? Absolutely NOT.
Is it my method of showing Bob's method is nothing but a -EV Betting system?
It IS my method of demonstrating how some 'Method' can give the appearance of being useful and of some dollar value when it is not.
Stealing my own thunder a bit, there will be revelations which will show how deceptive a 'method' can be.
EvenBob had his fun. He had his chance, briefly demonstrating whatever it was that he demonstrated. But he never demonstrated or explained any of his method, so we'll never be able to demonstrate any invalidity of his 'Method'. Frankly, I could not care less. He had his chances and declined to be put under scrutiny.
This thread is NOT a demonstration of Bob's method. It's not about or related to his Method.
I might later reference some similarities and differences between my method and a few systems.

tuttigym
link to original post
Great questions which I'll gladly answer.
Not an advantage play and not a +EV event.
Before I played the Roulette wager, I had the expectation of either losing my wagered stake (40p) or receiving some winnings (20p + Stake) for winning my wager.
I staked 40p onto the table and expected to pick up 60p or 0p
I expected those events with 24/37 = 64.865% and 13/37 = 35.135% probability respectively.
For it to qualify as a +EV event, it would have had to be wager where the probability of winning that 20p was over
66 and 2/3 percent.* Or where the paytable was unusual or some sort of bonus available.
So.... Nothing was +EV and I had no Advantage play.
I just gambled and won. It happens.
*I.e I'd need to know something unusual about the spin beforehand.

I fully agree. I understand that you know that I too could demonstrate real +EV methods.
You and I both know that OnceDear's method is -EV. Maybe as I demonstrate it and explain it, a penny will drop in someone's head.
At some point we might have to explain YET again the value of the definition of Expected Value. EV has been defined by many renowned mathematicians. (Check it out on WikiPedia ) Sadly, some of the better ones were French and modern translations of their definitions and analysis are a little complex for the participants in this subforum.

Hold the phone there. You make an accusation against me and I answered it and now you're saying it's not relevant to the thread? You don't get off that easy, you can't go throwing accusations around and then weasel out of it. Did I or did I not tell exactly how my method works and exactly what I do. It's like I was a Wall Street expert and I wrote a book on the stock market I told you exactly what I did but I did not include what stocks you're supposed to buy for that day. So then you accuse me of not demonstrating anything in my book. Of course I told you what I do, quit denying it. What you mean is that I did not give you an exact step by step second by second education on how to win. So you're going to use that to say that I told you nothing at all about what I do.

In that instance, a 66 and 2/3 % probability of the wager getting paid at 1:2 would have made that particular wager 0EV
Any higher probability would have meant the player had an edge and it would be +EV.
Any lower probability would have meant the house had an edge and it would be -EV.
With roulette, the probability is 64.865 which is lower than 66 2/3 therefore the house has the edge and it's -EV.
The 'establishment'? I don't know about that. But Mathematicians define EV and how it's calculated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value
Simplified for a simple wager with two possible outcomes where one outcome is a win and one outcome is a loss.
But someone, I think it was you said something about the application of EV as overly complex.
I may come back to it later.
OnceDear's Method is -EV and has no Dollar Value, except as a concept to be sold to suckers or as content on a monetized web platform.

However as you no doubt noted, posting logs of your betting for the purpose of supporting this claim sent me over the edge. In particular once I recognized that such a thing is wholly a template for "freerolling" whether or not you intended to do so. Yes I know there was no bet ... well , actually there was, the stakes were bragging rights and saving face.
Looking back on it now, when you had the Wizard looking at your live betting, I consider that an exercise in freerolling that you got away with. The Wizard was duped I'm sorry to say. And even though I think it possible you didn't have the intent, each time of the three instances I have in mind the event was terminated at no cost to you meanwhile before termination there was a chance you could have gone on a lucky winning streak
I respectfully suggest to the moderators that in future no log-posting that is supposed to support any claims other than 'lookie here I got lucky' be allowed

Hey, you people asked me, almost begged me, to post logs of what I was betting. So I do it and I get mocked because I'm not betting enough money, like that has anything to do with it. And because I'm not bending over backwards to post every single jot and tittle of whatever proof I could lay my hands on just so a bunch of people who could give a crap less and don't like me anyway MIGHT be convinced that I had a winning method. I did the minimum amount possible for the time that I had to give to it, not enough? Oh well. There was a chance I could have been on a lucky winning streak? Why didn't I think of that, I've been on a 16 year lucky winning streak! That's the ticket, thank you for clearing things up. Good grief..
And if somebody wants to scream this is hijacking this thread, the OP opened this can of worms a few posts back and now he gets to reap the benefits of it. If he doesn't want this stuff in his thread, he should be the one to leave it out of his thread.

Hey, you people asked me, almost begged me, to post logs of what I was betting. So I do it and I get mocked because I'm not betting enough money, like that has anything to do with it. And because I'm not bending over backwards to post every single jot and tittle of whatever proof I could lay my hands on just so a bunch of people who could give a crap less and don't like me anyway MIGHT be convinced that I had a winning method. I did the minimum amount possible for the time that I had to give to it, not enough? Oh well. There was a chance I could have been on a lucky winning streak? Why didn't I think of that, I've been on a 16 year lucky winning streak! That's the ticket, thank you for clearing things up. Good grief..
And if somebody wants to scream this is hijacking this thread, the OP opened this can of worms a few posts back and now he gets to reap the benefits of it. If he doesn't want this stuff in his thread, he should be the one to leave it out of his thread.

What happened to this thread, the OP hasn't posted here in 3 days. And he's been on the Forum, he was here today. I confronted him about the fact that he was posting crap about me and he disappeared, poof. Oh well, I have the canons loaded ready to fire and now they just sit here, unlit.

Fear not. There have been several more short winning sessions and zero losing sessions. I just couldn't be bothered to post. It's not obligatory.Quote: unJonQuote: EvenBobWhat happened to this thread, the OP hasn't posted here in 3 days. And he's been on the Forum, he was here today.

Actually Unjon, there is something particularly salient about your comment.
Most of the sessions where OnceDear's Method is applicable are short: Often one, two or three wagers. I've been lucky since starting this thread that there have been very few long sessions. Long sessions can be the more risky sessions, but they have their part to play.
A quick word about session length:-
It is what it is. The maths behind OnceDear's method makes shorter sessions significantly preferable but there is no way of knowing before a session begins, how many wagers it will involve.
Why preferable?
The house has an edge. It is a positive percentage of the total amount wagered. For a long session, more is wagered and so more is exposed to the house edge. For flat betting, the same stake is exposed to the house edge multiple times. For progressive betting such as Marty, there will tend to be fewer wagers, but the average wager size exposed to the house edge means a greater expected loss. Losing is generally deemed to be bad. Within a winning session, there will normally be a significant proportion of losing wagers.
Long term, with or without OnceDear's Method, and with or without progressive wagering, the amount lost will tend towards (Total Amount Wagered x House Edge ).
Report of recent sessions coming soon. I'm going to transcribe the many pages of game logs into text form, though unredacted log access is available to moderators or selected members of my choosing.
I'm thinking it may also be time for a chart as 'a picture paints a thousand words'

Because this thread is an obvious parody of my thread this seems to be the appropriate place to post this. I'm trying to join all the casinos in Michigan online and last night I joined Caesars and they immediately gave me a $10 bonus. I really don't want the bonus because it takes too long and you have to bet too much money to get the lousy $10 bonus but no matter what I do all I do is keep winning. You can see how erratic I was betting and I still doubled the bonus already. I must say I don't like Caesars very much because they already kicked me offline twice while I was betting made me go through the whole process of signing in again and verifying. As you can see I have $20 credit but I can't withdraw it because I haven't met their stupid requirements yet. I think I have to bet $300 to win the lousy $10 bonus. As you can see by the email I got I joined the casino at 12:58 a.m. And just after 1:00 a.m. I was betting. I'm going to keep trying to lose the bonus later today by cranking up my betting.

Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes, you are going to f*** up again in the future, quite possibly in the most spectacular fashion, why worry about yesterday's f*** up's when you have tomorrow's f*** up's to look forward to?
You are a f*** up, and f***** up is part of your growth process, embrace the process.

13 hours to make $10 sounds like about 75 cents an hour.

The 13 hours is the time required to clear the bonus -- you have to subtract off his expected loss rate from the hourly earn rate. If you choose the wrong game to do the play through, the overall EV is negative, so taking a long time to lose money is better, I guess.Quote: Dieter13 hours to make $10 sounds like about 75 cents an hour.

Off Topic.
THIS thread is not about you, nor is it about wagering requirements at a casino in Michigan.
"Your thread" ??? You own a thread somewhere? Go post to it if this is salient content.
As far as I can tell, there is no mention in this thread of Michigan or Caesars online casino requirements.

What's time got to do with anything, I played a little last night and I played a little today I didn't play for 13 hours. And I didn't make any money, the money I'm using is a bonus so the money all belongs to the casino. I started out with $10 and I doubled it. What you have to look at is that I spent wagered $62 to make $10 which is freaking ridiculous. I would never do that if this was regular play, to make $10 I usually have to wager $10, and so on. This is just an experiment to see if by screwing around I can take a bonus and run it up to where I am making larger bets. If you look I did make a $4 bet and a $5 bet which are huge when you consider I only had $15 at the time I made them. But I was 80% sure I was going to win so I did it and I won. This whole thing could go bust, I don't like the way they're disconnecting me right when I'm playing that never happens in any other Casino.

The bonus isn't cleared what are you talking about. Did you miss the pic where I tried to withdraw and it says I don't have any funds to withdraw? To get this $10 released I have to wager $300 eventually. The whole thing is ridiculous.

Whoa... 13 hours to not make $10 is even worse.
I think if the moderator pay got tripled (again), we'd almost be up to that level.

You have to scale it. If you can play 130 hours a day, it is $100 per day.
