ok
I had some extra time on me hands
You can thank me any time.
in my opinion, Looks like you found the error(s) yourself and corrected them without admitting to it. It is a free country we live in.
Why, I do not know.
I make errors all the time in my code but I get them right in the end
in my opinion, I say it was the same errors you had from your online simulation program that you coded yourself, the one that used to be on your website.
The rail amounts after a decision comes to mind or what ever it was. It over-shot the win goal target
I can link to that thread if you so wish
I just know you removed that program and
I thought it was a good one, maybe the best one, that no one else had online, except for the simple to fix errors it produced.
==========================================
I did run 3 simulations this morning
1st was just 10k like mine and looks good as mine did two
2 others were 100k and looks good too
the photo just shows the first 2
I ran
see
and see
the $1000 to $2000 by $10
yes I ran it all the way
my conclusion still
is your original code you used had error(s) that produced a very large error for the sample size you ran
you found them and fixed them, great job!
so here is the code I used, copied from your post and changed a few things to make changes easier
see if you can tell what I changed
I find no errors but maybe I added some without seeing them.
I also printed out a few sessions (your roll by roll) and that looked good too
Thank you Ahigh!
that was fun

I had some extra time on me hands
I finished the simulation for you.Quote: AhighSo my sim reports 40.349% compared to 42.98%.
That's close enough to indicate the sim is working and possibly I didn't run enough sessions for trials.
Run my simulation Sally.
You can find any problems yourself, if there are any. I'm not going to lead you by the hand to where the source code is. It's clearly posted in my first response of this thread.

Will someone tell me why you math geniuses can't round up or round down to the nearest full percentage? Is there something so mystical about to the nth decimal that makes it sensible to you? It's not sensible to me. Of course, I'm hardly a math genius. ; )

I explained this to you before, I think,Quote: Sonny44Will someone tell me why you math geniuses can't round up or round down to the nearest full percentage?

ask Ahigh, it is his perl code in the above photos.
I actually like them long...
