Quote: EvenBobWhen I was a kid I used to love shooting arrows with a bow. But I would lose arrows sometimes and it seems like I never had enough. I had this recurring dream I was in a field that was covered with arrows stuck in the ground and I would run around getting armfuls or arrows as many as I could carry until I realized in the dream how many arrows do I need.
This makes me *ahem* "quiver."

What I said is the patterns are not real, our mind thinks it's seeing a pattern but it's really not. Humans are all about pattern recognition whether the patterns actually there or it isn't. But that doesn't mean they can't be exploited. Random outcomes do not create patterns they create pseudo patterns, and a pseudo pattern can be exploited for very short periods of time. And that's all I care about.

So it's in your mind.
You see patterns. The patterns are only in your mind. And you exploit them.
Norman Bates mom was in his mind. He saw things his mother saw. And he exploited them.
Then he wound up in the loony bin.

Norman Bates did not go to the Loony Bin. Because Norman Bates is not real, he only exists in our minds because we all watched a film based on a fictional screenplay and based on what was in Alfred Hitchcock's mind.

Quote: EvenBobQuote: rawtuff"The logic in observation" of it being red/black/odd/even/low/high/whatever not being "the same" is coming from where exactly?
link to original post
It comes from experience, study, and observation of the outcomes over a long period of time. We aren't dealing with a lot of numbers here, 37 or 38 pockets. There's only so many things that it's going to do, it's not going to go hog wild crazy like it would if you were dealing with 100 pockets. If you observe it long enough you will see that it does the same things over and over again, it repeats itself constantly because it doesn't have a choice, we're dealing with limited number of outcomes. So you see something happening that you've seen many times and you make an educated guess that it's going to keep doing that for at least one more spin. It quite often keeps going longer than one more spin but I don't care about that. That's a big trap and it's a trap everybody falls into. I cannot count the number of times where I made my bet and won and then played virtually and I would have won the next 10 in a row. You can't feel badly about that because that's greed. Because it worked that time doesn't mean it's going to work next time so I'm just happy getting one unit. I used to keep going with it just to see how much I could make but in the end it's not worth it. You'll bet 14 times and end up making four or five units. It's much safer to bet more money to make just one unit.

Well, we live in a physical reality where every thing that is is determined by causality except maybe for fully random quantum jumps.
On macro scale an effect has a cause that has a cause that has a cause etc.
You cannot explain how, for example, a red colored slot on the roulette wheel has a higher chance of stopping that spinning ball than usual just because the previous 13 outcomes were rrr bbb rrr bbb r.. and your brain has spotted a pattern which, as you rightly say, is only in your mind and not a real entity in the reality with any kind of predictive or causal power, precisely because it comes from a string of outcomes of a random number generator device.
You cannot explain it because there is nothing to explain - there is no causation nor correlation between patterns in your head and future outcomes on a roulette wheel.
And the number of possible "patterns" that the 38 slots of roulette can produce is, one, mind boggling (I believe Dieter has posted the number elsewhere once) and, two, irrelevant. If you had an endless stream of "just" heads and tails of a random coin toss you might think it's even simpler to "exploit" the virtual patterns to predict the future outcomes better than 50/50 and you'll have the same success as with the roulette patterns, none.

You left out the best part. Alfred Hitchcock exploited all that fake stuff in his mind that wasn't really there to make a ton of money. If you think you see a pattern among random outcomes it doesn't matter if it's really there or not, what matters is if it repeats can you exploit it. This concept seems to be out of the grasp of a lot of people.

Sure I can explain it. Patterns have a tendency to continue, not to quit. And it's not just one red colored slot, there are 18 of them. You have to look at the roulette wheel as having two options, two slots, one is red the other is black. If there's a zero or two those are inconsequential. When you know that certain patterns always have a tendency to continue rather than to stop, what your betting on is that it's not going to stop right then. And you're not dealing with 36 pockets, you're dealing with two. The concept behind this is simple beyond belief, the execution of it's a little harder. All it takes is time and practice which most people don't have the patience for. Now somebody will say but Bob, in the long term everything is equal, that pattern will stop exactly as often as it continues. Fortunately for us, we aren't playing in the long term we are playing in the extreme short-term where anything can happen. I say that again and again because nobody seems to have the ability to grasp it.

And THAT, in roulette is simply and abjectly not true. Not true at all. THAT is the heart of pretty much every roulette method of the last 200 years.
You can take a trend "red, black, red, black, red, black, red, black, red, black, red, black" and consider whether the trend will continue or not.
And the answer IS it will have 48.6486486486 % probability of continuing and turn up Red. Not a good bet to make.
If there was any truth to 'Patterns have a tendency to continue' then we would have a sure fire (if infrequent) winning method.
We would just wait for, say, 15 consecutive reds or blacks or odds or evens and we would bet 1 unit on the trend to continue. If such a dead simple rule as 'Patterns have a tendency to continue' and surely 15 consecutive reds would count as such a trend, then we would just monitor many tables, wait, and win.
But it would be pointless and stupid. It has no more validity than "patterns have a tendency to come to an end on the next spin"

There is obviously more to it, but yes under certain circumstances patterns do have a tendency to continue rather than to quit. Obviously I'm not going to tell you what those circumstances are because I enjoy way too much seeing you wallow around in your righteous indignation. The patterns do not continue for long, they often only continue for one more spin. For me they continue for at least one more spin about 80% of the time. For you if you jumped in as a rookie they would end half the time because you don't know what to look for. A pattern is a pattern is not a pattern until it passes certain criteria. You learn this the hard way, by observation and trial and error. Believe it or don't, and I hope you don't because what fun would that be.

So, I wonder if EB is going to report how it went? If not: Why not?
Assuming he averages one session per day and all sessions are a win, we should have something like
Session #1 7 Nov: $20 staked : Won
Session #2 8 Nov: $30 staked : Won
Session #3 9 Nov: $45 staked : Won
Session #4 10 Nov: $70 staked : Won
Session #5 11 Nov; $105 staked : Won

Session #9 15 Nov; $515 staked : Won
Session #10 16 Nov; $770 staked : Won
Session #11 17 Nov; $1155 staked : Won
Session #12 18 Nov; $1730 staked : Won
Session #13 19 Nov; $2595 staked : Won
Session #14 20 Nov; $3890 staked : Won
*All betting levels worked out quickly in my head, so E&OE
Now, EvenBob tells us that he sometimes gets multiple sessions per day, but sometimes goes several days without placing a bet. Fair enough.
Allowing for that, after the two weeks that he said he was going to run this experiment, this would be a great time for him to report his success. I invite him to stick it to us by boasting of his success. No need to prove it.
If he did succeed, then I'm sure we would all join in congratulating him.
Maybe something went wrong, or maybe he chose not to proceed. But it sure would put a lot of naysayers in their place if he simply reported how it went. Maybe he could tell us how it felt placing those bets over $1,000. And maybe he will share with us whether he plans to continue with this winning progression? Or maybe start it again from scratch? If not, why not?
I expect, that he did not proceed exactly as expected or proposed, but that's fair enough.
So, How about it EvenBob. Care to report how it went?{/b]

"Impaled upon my wall
My eyes can dimly see
The pattern of my life
And the puzzle that is me
From the moment of my birth
To the instant of my death
There are patterns I must follow
Just as I must breathe each breath
And the pattern still remains
On the wall where darkness fell
And it's fitting that it should
For in darkness I must dwell
Like the color of my skin
On the day that I grow old
My life is made of patterns
That can scarcely be controlled"

This is way way more about problems you might have then about any problem I have. Saying I do it for attention is the easy way out, that way you don't have to face reality. That way you don't have to face the fact that I've done something you can't do. I've got the edge at a casino game. If you can't discuss that logically, or you think I'm full of it, then why are you here. Like I said this is way more about problems that you have than any problems that I have. I don't have any problems, quite the opposite.

Apparently it's important to them to keep repeating it because they don't believe it themselves. That's why people usually repeat things, it's not to convince somebody else is to convince them. You think if you keep saying it then it must be true. If it makes you feel better, I can't stop you from saying it.

Many people believe that if you just work toward what you want that it will appear or you will achieve it. This is nothing new, I remember reading a book around 1970 that was written in the 1930s during the Depression and I think it was called something like the Little Red Book, or something like that. It was a very thin book not more than 30 pages and it was saying exactly that, if you write down what you want and keep it in your mind and pursue it you can change your reality to make it happen. This is almost exactly how a simulation would work. It's no accident that since we discovered science and the scientific method a few hundred years ago that we've been advancing technologically at an unbelievable rate. We can now measure advances in things like medicine and computer science in increments of months instead of years. Just like we were living in a simulation.
Anyway I'm kind of stunned about this, because this was right in front of me the whole time. This method of finding a bet that works everyday to make one unit. Maybe it's just confirmation bias, how is there any way of knowing. Now the pig-piling on will begin, or totally ignoring me will start. Either way it doesn't change anything.
Quote: EvenBobI've been testing the last two days with virtual bets and in 100 bets I got 86 right and 14 wrong. Of course this does not include zeros because when you're testing betting virtually you never include the zeros because it's pointless. The zeros are a fixed event, you know exactly how many there are going to be in 1,000 bets or 5000 bets. So it's easy to figure them into the calculation. It's amazing how many people over the years don't understand this and absolutely berserk when they find out I don't count the zeros. It's because in 100 bets I could have no zeros at all or I could have five or six so that renders them meaningless if I'm calculating for my hit rate. Zeros only count in the long run when you're calculating averages. If these numbers hold true this is actually a better bet than the 80% bet I was making and it's a lot more frequent. What a coincidence this happened at the same time I started looking seriously at living in a simulation. But I don't believe in coincidences and I never have.

How do you determine 86 wins vs 14 losses without factoring 0s? If you don't bet 0s wouldn't this just unfairly decrease loss rate?

Because I don't give one fiddly flying crap what the average is for the next 100 bets. I care what the average is for the next 10,000 bets. The zeros are a rogue event, but in the long run they are a fixed amount. I know for absolute surety how many zeros I will get in 10,000 bets. But in 100 bets I could get no zeros or 10 zeros so that renders them meaningless when you're figuring out an average. Let's say I do 100 bets virtually and I get 10 zeros and then I do another 100 virtually and I get 8 zeros. If I leave the zeros in my calculation that looks like I get 18 zeros for every 200 bets which is totally not true. Let's say I bet 100 virtual times and get no zeros and bet another 100 virtual and get no zeros again. Does this mean I get no zeros ever? Of course not so what you do is at the very end you calculate for the average number of zeros that you know you will get. The number of people that cannot understand this always blows my mind. I'm not looking for a win-loss rate, I'm looking for a betting hit rate. I'm looking for how I will do in what I have control of and I have no control over the zeros so you don't count them when calculating hit rate. Zero's only count when you're betting actual money and if you have an 80% hit rate they are meaningless, they are an inconvenience, nothing more.
Quote: EvenBobGood news for Axel, I have completely given up on my 80% bet. It just doesn't occur enough for me to depend on it. It'll be working for 3 days in a row and then the next 3 days I can't find anything to bet on. So I've switched to something else entirely, I'm now a regular gambler in that I do not win every session. I win 9 out of 10 sessions, but I am able to bet every single day. I know I've always said I'm not a gambler, but now that I don't know that I'm going to win every session I guess that makes me one. But I can have far far more wins betting this way and that's all that counts in the end. It's a sad day, I've become very ordinary. Sigh..

My goal is to win six units per session. Why 6 units. Because playing virtually for 20 minutes I average 8 to 10 wins but if I can get six wins right away I take it and quit. Why should I keep playing and keep playing just to win two or three more units. Cuz you never know what's going to happen, always better to quit when you have six locked in the bank. And quite often I'll win six in a row so it's over very quickly. I noticed the wheels at Evolution are spinning more now, they must have talked to the dealers because they're all doing it. They grab the ball and watch the clock and when there's still two or three seconds to bet they spin and the clock stops. I'm sure that pisses a lot of people off but too often they would sit there and sit there after the clock ran out and let the wheel go around two or three more times before they grab the ball. Doing it the way they're doing it now they're getting way more spins per hour which is what the casino wants. 90% of these dealers have no idea how much work dealing roulette is in a real Casino. When you have to scrutinize the board to make sure the bets are correct and then you have to do payouts and not make mistakes. All these people have to do is spin that's their entire job. I laugh to think about them trying to get a job in a real Casino and saying they have experience.
