Scepticus,

I sense that you believe you have a way to beat this game with a system?



My favoured bet is an 8 /1 shot that wins much more than it loses so I smile when I often read that I MUST lose in some undefined " Long Run" . I don't claim that I will win in the Long Run - whenever that may be - only that I win in the Here and Now. That is quite sufficient for me.
.So far as I am concerned all talk of the Long Run is just " noise" .It has no relevance in choosing WHAT and WHEN to bet and at what odds ,and it is that - and only that- which determines whether you win or lose.
My bets are variable depending on a few past results - Sacre Bleu !- so I also reject that other misconception , we can't use previous numbers in our attempt to " beat the odds ".

I am willing to bet the Here and Now will disappear when a witness is there ! All those negative vibes from non-believers.
Shed not for her the bitter tear Nor give the heart to vain regret Tis but the casket that lies here, The gem that filled it Sparkles yet

What do the last spins tell you?

[Sounds like a question to a medium !
They tell me that some things are more likely than others..

But there have been witnesses.They just think I have been lucky though they don't know how I choose my bets. .Do you really think anyone would divulge something that was steadily winning?
I bet this one on every spin and walk when I win or at break-even . Why shouldn't I ?

(Sarcasm On)Reading Gambler's Fallacy is what will make you lose, they are dependent acts.(Sarcasm Off).

Perhaps I'm overlooking a vital piece of information, but why do I get the feeling this thread should have originated in the betting systems forum?

Actually , in the field of betting , mathematicians have themselves proved some things ARE more likely than others.
So the only question is - Can we make use of this.?
