That's not the formula for house edge.

No it is not. A math guy gave me this formula years ago on Gamblers Glen as a simple way to figure out what my working edge is. It includes the zero per 100 bets and of course will be different if I was using a double zero wheel. It's easy enough to reverse engineer the number and come up with what that number means.

If you like 'Tosh', you might also like the descriptive noun 'Lobblocks' which is one of my own creation that I'm particularly proud of. 'Spout' is a pretty good verb to put in the mix.

OK for the adverbs, but for us colonials, Lobblocks and Spout doesn't quite get down and dirty.

On a realistic basis that only works for people who are usually past 80. Calling somebody 65 elderly to their face might not get the result you're hoping for. I've been around elderly people in their 80s and 90s, they are totally different than people in there 60s and '70s. But if you want to call yourself elderly at 65 knock yourself out.

Yesterday, delivering to a client, we noted that it said 'Elderly lady alone' on the delivery sheet (Vulnerable clients or those that need assistance are so noted). My colleague thought he'd pay her a compliment and almost immediately, to her face, said "You don't look elderly at all". She was not amused and asked him to explain, to which he just kept digging a big hole for himself. I could barely control my bladder for laughing.

No, and no.
BBB popped in a few months ago and her participation had been decreasing over the period of a few years. She publicly posted about being her mother's caretaker, possible interactions with her ex-husband and, I believe (but don't quote me on) her own health issues.
I certainly wish her well, but haven't spoken to her off-forum anytime recently.
As far as Face goes, I'm not certain he and I have ever communicated off-forum, so I would have no idea. Face has not been logged in for more than two years and has not posted for more than three. His final posts were during the time that Covid started, or, I should hope that, 'Most recent posts,' is applicable rather than final.
Face has always been a very active individual who likes to be out doing things, but also lives in NY (I believe) which had some of the most stringent lockdowns. One can only assume that these same lockdowns might have had a negative effect on him. He posted on DT a few occasions after his most recent posts here, but not since late-2020. He also last visited DT around the same time as he last visited here, which was more than two years ago.
You could definitely shoot either a PM and see if they respond. I'll probably PM Face. As you might know, I was openly critical of Babs' handling of your posts (and implication that you were to be Nuked) back when you were discussing certain plays. Even if you were discussing them purely as a revenge tactic, which I doubt, I have already publicly stated that you CAN'T nuke someone from a gambling forum for discussing gambling, whilst following all other rules and also that you were goaded into it even if it had been for revenge.
For those reasons, I suspect that BBB absolutely does NOT wish to hear from me. Given (public) lack of responses to me in other instances, I assume this to be true. I do wish her well in all things and hope that things have improved for her since the last time she posted about her various troubles.

It may be prudent to add a note to your papers that your next of kin should email your username and a link to an obituary to one of the "secret" email addresses.
I know when I went into the hospital a few months ago, there was a real possibility that the only way anyone would have known what happened was a relay of scant details from a text message that got through and an utter lack of further communication.

I have suspected for a long time that Bob asks someone, or half-assed reaseaches the math and gambling terms etc but he really doesn't understand them at all. He really doesn't seem to understand the questions being asked, but he will attempts to answer those questions using whatever information he attempted to gather. Oftentimes applies the wrong answers to the wrong questions.Quote: OnceDearQuote: AxelWolfYOU calculated it? I am highly skeptical of that claim, but let's go with it. I seem to recall some mention of 56% before regarding this.Quote: EvenBob
By the way I calculated my edge over the casino when I use a certain method and it's 56%. On a single zero wheel. The casino's edge when betting randomly against random outcomes is just over 2%. My edge when betting non randomly is 56%.
link to original post
How did you arrive at 56% "SHOW US THE MATHY"
link to original post
Since there is Buck All chance that EvenBob will show any calculations, I WILL. I'll take EB's final answer as true and work back.
For an even money wager on single zero roulette without 'la partage' rule....
House Edge= -Player Edge = -(WinValue x Pwin - LoseValue x Plose)
and the answer with accepted probabilities is
0.027 = -(1 x 18/37 - 1 x 19/37)
But EvenBob claims that does not apply to him, with his CALCULATED PLAYER edge of 56% = 0.56
So we have to evaluate Pwin and Plose for EB.
Player Edge = 0.56 = -(-( WinValue x Pwin - LoseValue x Plose))
We know WinValue = LoseValue =1 so
0.56 = -(-( 1xPwin - 1xPlose))
0.56 = (Pwin-PLose)
and we KNOW 1-Pwin=Plose
So
0.56 = (Pwin - (1-Pwin))
0.56 = 2Pwin - 1
0.56 + 1 = 2Pwin
Pwin = (1.56)/2
Pwin = 0.78 = 78%
SO.
If EvenBob's claim of 56% Player Edge is true, he his winning 78% of his even money bets.
That's within spitting distance of the 80% hit rate that he falsely claims.
Let's work it forward from claimed hit rate of 80%
Player Edge = ( WinValue x Pwin - LoseValue x Plose)
Player Edge = 1x0.8 - 1x0.2 =0.6 = 60%
Therefore I conclude that EvenBob is backtracking a bit on his claimed 80% hit rate and only achieves 78% hit rate.
Now. He states the Standard Deviation on his 56% is about 4 or 5. I take it he means SD = 4% to 5% NOT that he is doing anything 4 or 5 standard deviations away from the mean.
I would LOVE to see how he derives SD of about 4% to 5%. If ever there was a challenge. That is it.
Footnote:
Everything about any of EvenBob's claims, numbers, or math is complete nonsense. I just did this exercise as a courtesy to AxelWolf who wanted to know how 56% could be arrived at.
EvenBob has no player advantage of 56%. EvenBob has no player advantage. PERIOD.
EvenBob has NOTHING. If he plays roulette, he has less than nothing.
ANYONE claiming a 56% player advantage over roulette should be called out as claiming the absurd. Such claims MUST not go unchallenged.
It's nonsense. Some say Bullspit and some say Lies or Delusions. EvenBob ( and only EvenBob ) says it's true.
DYOR.

AxelWolf,
Something happened here that you may not have realised the significance of, but which supports your observation. Read carefully.
So, first we have EvenB assert that his calculated his player advantage as 56%.
Then Unjon asked...
Quote: unJon
What do you calculate the standard deviation of that edge to be?
link to original post
to which EvenBob replied ...
Quote: EvenBob
I ran it through an AI and it's between four and five.
link to original post
Note carefully that EvenBob did NOT say his 56% was 4 or 5 standard deviations away from any other value, such as the accepted mean of -2.7%, but he stated the SD as having a value of 4 to 5. He didn't use the % symbol, probably because he did not understand the value he was giving. Taking the 5 value, to a mathematician or scientist, EvenBob was saying that 'within one sd, his player advantage is 56% +/- 5%
But then Axelwolf seemed to misinterpret EB's reply and said ...
Quote: AxelWolfWhat data did you enter to get between 4 and 5 SD's?
Do you understand the significance of 4.5 standard deviations?
link to original post
Which, as I mentioned above is a misinterpretation of EvenBob's assertion. EB had said that the VALUE of sd was in the range 4 to 5 and did NOT say that he was 4 to 5 standard deviations away from the mean.
So what did EB do? Did he come back and correct AxelWolf, saying that he had quoted his sd as being 4 to 5 and what the heck has that got to do with 'significance of 4.5 standard deviations? ' Does he hell!
Because EvenBob did not show understanding of his own 4 to 5 value and shows no understanding of AxelWolf's errant question. No. What EvenBob does is find a quote that talks about a result that's 4.5 standard deviations away from the mean...
"A data point that is 4.5 standard deviations from the mean is highly unusual and significant in statistical terms...."
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/general/3831-how-much-gamble-do-you-have/14/#post903062
Why would EB answer the totally inappropriate question if he understood the topic at all?
I assert that EvenBob has no understanding of what Standard deviation means, how it is expressed and how it is used.
Is Evenbob's Edge 56% +/- (4 to 5)%
or is it 56% being 4 to 5 standard deviations away from the accepted mean value of -2.7%
There are ways to calculate (estimate) the standard deviation of 4% to 5% quoted above, but EvenBob won't have any idea how that is done. Here's a clue. It involves sample size.

Now that I said that, he will say he does?
Bob doesn't like when you predict what he will say and he will oftentimes just say the opposite.
Perhaps he will just ignore the "Bob finds himself fanonating" commentss, thats probably best. Certainly he is all confused on how he should address your comment now.

Hello!! It's great that you have found a playing style that works for you and that you feel comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with being a solid edge player, and it's perfectly fine to prioritize minimizing risk over taking bold risks.
That being said, it's also worth recognizing that having some level of "gamble" or aggression in your play can be beneficial in certain situations. For example, in Blackjack, being willing to double down or split pairs can help you take advantage of favorable situations and increase your expected value. Same with, in Poker, being willing to make a bold bluff or play a speculative hand can help you build the pot and maximize your winnings.
Of course, it's important to balance this aggression with sound strategy and risk management. You shouldn't be taking unnecessary risks or playing recklessly, but rather looking for opportunities to take calculated risks that will give you an edge in the long run.
It's also worth noting that having a low level of "gamble" doesn't necessarily mean you're not a skilled player. Many successful players are very conservative in their playstyle and focus on exploiting small edges over a large number of hands. This approach can be just as effective as a more aggressive style, especially in the long run.
So, the key is to find a playing style that fits your personality and preferences while still allowing you to maximize your expected value. If you're happy with your current approach, then that's great! Just remember to continue learning and adapting to new situations, and don't be afraid to mix things up a bit if you feel like it's necessary.
That being said, it's also worth recognizing that having some level of "gamble" or aggression in your play can be beneficial in certain situations. For example, in Blackjack, being willing to double down or split pairs can help you take advantage of favorable situations and increase your expected value. Same with, in Poker, being willing to make a bold bluff or play a speculative hand can help you build the pot and maximize your winnings.
Of course, it's important to balance this aggression with sound strategy and risk management. You shouldn't be taking unnecessary risks or playing recklessly, but rather looking for opportunities to take calculated risks that will give you an edge in the long run.

The fact that you don't understand just how absurd it is to claim you can correctly guess something with a 48.6% chance of happening at an 80% hit rate is mind-boggling.

Unless you're actually doing it then it's mind-bogglingly boring. It's not what you think it is because I know you think what's happening is I just sit there and bet and bet and bet at an 80% rate. The absolute polar opposite is true as that I've tried to explain a thousand times. I bet very very seldom so 80% is not unreasonable at all.

The next time I'm in a casino I'm going to play all the games I've never played before.
I'm going to make one bet, and if I win, I'll never play that game again.
That way I can claim a 100% hit rate, and brag that my "method" is better than EB's paltry 80% hit rate.

Speaking of the paltry 80%, nobody has considered that this makes for a lot of long winning streaks. The longest one I was aware of was 42 in a row without a loss. It happened over about a 12-day stretch., but that's very exceptional. It's not unusual to have 14 or 16 or 18 in a row without a loss but 42 is my record. And of course if there is a loss or even two losses in a row recovery is extremely fast. In fact this is what I was shooting for in all those years of practicing, an exceptionally high hit rate. I'm not a gambler so winning is the only thing that appeals to me, playing is very boring and I want to keep it as short as possible. Lots of people say that winning is important to them but it's really not nearly as important as playing playing playing. I'm after the winning, you can take the playing and give it a long walk on a short pier as far as I'm concerned..

I turned $600 into $9,000 playing on my Roku BJ game last night but quickly lost back to $600 again then won back to $6,000 then lost again down to $1,500. I played 946 hands in 83 minutes and bet a total of $212K with an average bet around $225. My minimum bet was $30 and my maximum bet was $600. I didn't use a progression on each win. I didn't count cards. I even deviated from basic strategy to attempt to change up a losing streak here and there.

And that changes the reality of it how exactly. Your personal belief about something has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's true or not. That's just your opinion, and we all know what opinions are worth. This is why I never challenge anything Mdawg claims in his thread because that would just be my opinion and my opinion is basically worthless because I don't know enough about what he does. So I always give him the benefit of the doubt.

Your method is worth less than your opinion. You might have some credibility if you expressed doubt about dubious claims instead of making up your own.

When playing for real money I only make even money bets. For the 100th time I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use a progression when betting real money. I only do it when I'm playing around at Penny roulette for fun betting well, pennies.
