So the person, Wizard or whomever is putting up a thousand dollars NOT to wager.
And you only play when the variance (luck) is known to be good in advance. So basically you don't play.

Why is it that almost no one here understands your proposal? Normally when 10 people don't understand what you are saying it's probably dues to the fact that YOU haven't explained yourself correctly.
I'll ask again, aside from someone putting up 1k as seed money are you offering a 100% free roll?

When you put it that way I guess it's a wager. And that's exactly right, I only play when the variance is in my favor and when it's not I don't play. This is why suggesting that I might lose is so ludicrous.

Good grief. Someone gives me $1,000, I turn it into $1,500 and give the $1,500 to them. If the absolute impossible happens and I lose, they get the $1,000 that is in escrow. So yes it's an obvious freeroll. I make nothing from this transaction and it doesn't cost me anything either except some time. But I am buying something with that time. Guess what that would be.
Quote: EvenBobIt's entertaining going over some of these old roulette cards from 15 years ago from the casino. Some days I would make 18 or 20 or 25 units and the next time I went I would make two units. It was very confusing for me because I didn't know what was going on like I do now. I always thought it was my fault that I was doing something wrong. I didn't realize that it was because the outcomes were not playing my specific game which is blatantly obvious now but it's amazing how the obvious can escape you. I remember reading about Thomas Edison trying 3,000 different types of material for the light bulb filament before he finally found the right one. Later on it was obvious to him that some of the things he tried were ridiculous but it was not obvious at the time. In hindsight everything looks different.

Actually I thought there would be more pushback than there's been. I thought I would hear Bob, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Bob, nobody cares if you can do this or not. Bob, anybody can do this, which of course SooPoo has already claimed and he's got some ding dong bet going that he thinks I'm going to get involved in but I'm afraid I've moved on from double dare you bets that kids do when they're 10 years old.
Of course I'm waiting for Mike to get back, he gets first crack at this because he's the only person on this entire Forum that I trust entirely. If he doesn't want to do it personally then I'll pick somebody else but this kind of thing is right up his alley so we'll see.
link to original post
We are told that if EB succeeds, the 500 profit goes to the challenger. But the challenger would have lost in his wager with EB, so what becomes of the funds he sent? Is that EB's reward?
Mike would have to be insane to have an even money bet with EB that EB can't achieve a 60% likely event.
None of what EB is clear and none of it will happen. Just more distraction.
No meaningful challenge. Just more Yada Yada.

If EB fails to turn $1000 into $1500 the details of his failure WILL be disclosed?
I know EB says he won't fail but that means the same thing. No matter what the details will be disclosed.
In essence EB, what you are saying is, no matter what the details, the outcome WILL be disclosed (because you claim you can't fail then the details must be disclosed) even if you do fail.

No, the challenger puts up $1,000 in escrow, presumably with Mike. EB also puts up $1,000 in escrow.
If EB accomplishes the challenge, the challenger gets $1,500.
If EB fails the challenge, the challenger gets $1,000.
It's literally a no-lose situation for everyone involved - the challenger can't lose money and stands to gain $500, and EB proves to the forum that he can turn $1,000 into $1,500 by playing roulette, which many here doubt he can do.
On top of that, he claims he will post the results of all the bets that take the bankroll from $1,000 to $1,500.
I see that EB has now painted himself into a freeroll corner.Quote: darkozSo just to be clear.

Still nothing will happen. No demonstration of anything. Unless EB treasures this thread so much that he's happy to take a 33% chance to pay $1000 to humiliate himself.
I see he's already tried to persuade us to forget the 80% claim. To put that behind us and accept something meaningless. Just like when he posted the nickle and dime progressives results.
or from $1000 to $0.Quote: TigerWu

Of course, when he finds himself down to 100, maybe the 'table won't be playing his game'. Or maybe he'll get 86'd.
No meaningful challenge will occur.
That's exactly how I interpreted it. Bob said no one would accept because they don't want to know the truth. Well, I accept, and I will send or give Mike 1k based on my understanding. I don't care how he achieves his goal. If He wins me $500, I will contribute $250 to the forum for one of Mike's' screw your neighbor type of games or whatever. Perhaps a free roulette tournament. Who knows but $250 will be given back to the forum members.Quote: TigerWuQuote: OnceDear

I still don't know what you would stand to lose in your challenge, test, trial, demonstration... or whatever the suitable name is.
A put-up-or-shut-up would seem to require all participants be subject to an element of risk.
link to original post
No risk. I will put up $1,000 in escrow against the $1,000 put up by the Challenger so they have no risk whatsoever. Now SooPoo will say, haha, Bob doesn't have $1,000, Bob doesn't play roulette, Bob doesn't do this and Bob doesn't do that. Like he would know. Here's a picture I just took 10 minutes ago of $1,000 with the date, WoV and my name. If this isn't good enough give me a code word and I'll take another picture with the code in it. What do I stand to lose, I don't stand to lose anything, I'm going to make $500 for the Challenger to show that I can do it. If you don't think that proves something, let me know and I'll think of something else. I posted my test results from the casino, nobody believed it. I posted my roulette cards from a real casino and real play for real money and everybody said haha, big deal. Now we're letting money talk we'll see how that goes. My guess is it's going to be rejected because you people don't want to know the truth.

It also sounds like there are more details to work out.

I would also put up $1,000, and donate $250 of the winnings to charity. I would also change my signature to read "I gave EvenBob $1,000 and he won me $500 with his Roulette method in ____ days!" and keep it that way for a year.
EB said if Mike doesn't take the offer he will pick someone else. So now he has at least two people to pick from.

The only thing wrong with this is I will put $1,000 in escrow. The Challenger will deposit $1,000 into my PayPal account for me to play with. The $1,000 in escrow is to guarantee the Challenger will get his money back no matter what happens. I'm sure Mike will do this part of it, the escrow part, even if he doesn't want to be the Challenger. When I think about it the best thing to do will be for the Challenger to send the $1,000 to Mike and he can put it in my PayPal account. This way everything is covered and we even have somebody everybody can trust in the middle of it. I trust Mike completely. Way back when he was collecting money from donations I sent him $100 and he refunded it after he sold WoV. He didn't have to do that.

I suggest that the logs be examined in a way that can't be disputed(I.E. A private live stream with Mike with you logged in, where he can screen record it and go back later and analyze it) and that you establish what casino you'll be playing prior and declare when you'll start.
