18 yo's in a row (split-off)

Please stay I really enjoy your posts

Would still love to know whether it's more probably to lose 30 hands of roll 18yos

Do you skip over pushes in blackjack, or do they break a streak of wins?

Alan, you knew going in that your claim of seeing eighteen elevens rolled in a row would be met on this board (of all the gambling boards!) with absolute disbelief by many.

You've long been somewhat of a "lightning rod" in that some of your posts have been a bit "over the top."

I assumed you enjoyed being provocative, that you enjoyed the attention your posts engendered, that you enjoyed playing "the gambling board game" and were thick-skinned and secure in your beliefs.

To see you say you will now leave due to you taking umbrage at comments which you presumably expected and arguably encouraged is a bit baffling.

Good luck.

By my estimation, it's more likely to lose 73 Consecutive hands of BJ in a row (with NO pushes!!!) than to roll 18 consecutive Yo's

or 21249555777717.5 times more likely to lose 30 Hands consecutively with no pushes.

(0.491)^73 > (1/18)^18

Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong

If it isn't at least possible that it happened, why do the math?

No-one said it's impossible.
What was said or at least massively implied is that it was incredibly, massively, unbelievably unlikely, and far more unlikely than Alan spouting a false memory for any reason such as maybe promoting his forum, hallucination, intoxication, dementia, posturing, self-agrandisement, trolling, you name it. ( Any one of those things far more likely - you choose.)

Will do as requested. Although your opinions on anything to do with dice were often controversial, to put it mildly, you always acted like a gentleman here, in what must have been for you a hostile environment.

Feel free to say hello at DT anytime. I'm still hoping to resolve our lunch wager sometime.
