I am currently going for the record for most video poker played without a royal flush. I have no idea what the record is, nor do I know exactly how many hands I've played, but I know that I passed 40,000 hands a long time ago.



I'm right there with you. Never had a natural royal. Though, 90% of what I play is DW so that's not helping me.

I have had one in my life. It was dealt and it was a couple of years ago. I'm 0-for-a-lot on royal draws.

I'm a firm believer in "The Zone". That it is possible to beat baccarat if you become one in said "Zone". Without going to much into the definition of "the zone", we all know the zone I'm referring to. I bring up mathematicians fallacy because they will always say you are bound to go broke at a negative EV game. It's what "the math" says. They say mathematically what goes up must come down.

Apply quantum physics and "the ZONE" to baccarat and you cover math, as paper covers rock.



Gamblor, I want to get in "the Zone" .....
How do I do it.
Does it involve me becoming a subatomic particle or is there an easier way!!

I know how to do it:

First off, you unlock a door with the key of imagination. Beyond it, there's a door to another dimension. The dimension of sight, sound, and mind. You move into a land of shadow, substance, things AND ideas. You've just crossed into THE ZONE!

Ohhhh, I see. The problem is that you don't understand conditional probability.

Anyway, the math says no such thing. The math says that he is 50/50 to get the next coin flip right. You are misstating the math, and then (surprisingly, correctly) saying that your misstatement is wrong.

Clearly, you know nothing about math. You should stop saying "the math say this" or "the math says that". You have no clue what the math says.

The fact that you guys calculate it to be anything other than 50 50 is the fallacy.
If I'm on my 36th hand or he's on his 36th flip, it's still 50/50.

Gamblor: "If you really look at the evidence as a mathematician is supposed to, the only conclusion is 9/11 was an inside job, minimum they had knowledge of it."

Okay, that seals the deal for me. What nonsense: apply math and come to the inevitable conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job? God, I hate stupidity such as this that 9/11 truthers spew.

Gamblor, maybe if you had paid more attention to your high school math, you'd recognize how foolish your "mathematician's fallacy" really is. Then again, maybe someone should nominate you for a Nobel Prize in mathematics for your theory. No wait, that wouldn't work. That would require some rather extensive and recognized expertise in math, something which you clearly don't have.

Peddle your foolishness elsewhere.

So I'm right but I'm wrong? I've been saying the same thing the whole time. You tell me the longer I play the slimmer my odds to eventual zero. Now it's still 50/50 36 hands in? Get your story straight.

No, that is not what "you will eventually go broke" means. Your odds of winning are always 50% (in coin flips). But eventually you will hit a very long string of losses and it will wipe you out. This doesn't change the fact that each coin flip is 50% -- this is why you can't predict when it will happen, and why you have to be willing to play for "long enough".

It is perfectly possible that with a large enough bankroll, a small enough bet, and a short enough lifetime, that you won't go broke in your lifetime. You might even be ahead when you die. But that is only because you didn't play for long enough before you died.

If you are playing a game where you don't get paid enough given your probability of winning (eg, baccarat) then this is likely to happen a lot sooner, since your bankroll is always lower than it would be if you were getting paid fairly.

Mathematicians Fallacy. I'm just as likely hit a very long streak of wins.
Mathematicians Fallacy - length o time. "Playing for log enough"
A long time to you may be completely different than a long time to me. So while you think you are playing in the long term, you are really playing short term. Time is subjective. Time isn't even a constant. Time is related to your speed in space.
Time doesn't even really exist. The only thing that exists is now. 50/50

Quote:

Of course you are. But the system is memoryless. Hitting a long string of wins is just the same as having started with a larger bankroll. Even if you hit a long string of wins, you will eventually also hit a long string of losses. It can take you a very, very long time to bust out.

Essentially, your probability of eventually busting out is an infinite sum that converges to 1. Your probability of not busting out over n bets is a limit that converges to 0 as n goes to infinity. But it only converges at infinity. Over any finite-length sequence of bets, there is some non-zero probability that you will not bust out. Since your life is finite, it's possible that you won't bust out within your lifetime. But, again, that is not because you would not have busted out if you kept playing for longer -- it's just that you didn't live long enough to bust out.

Infinity is strange that way. It does not conform to peoples' intuition.

I didn't say a long time. I said "long enough". You have to be willing to pay forever to be guaranteed of gong broke. If you start with 100 bets and play a billion hands, there is a tiny chance that you will not go broke.

The problem is that once you go broke you can't play any more. If you kept playing you would eventually win the money back, but you don't get to do that since you can't bet any more once your bankroll is 0.

Also, you have to understand that baccarat is not a 50/50 game. If it was, the casinos would not make any money. Surely you understand that they make money from the game -- otherwise they would not be able to pay for all the nice stuff that's in casinos. They can pay for the nice big room, and pay everyone's salaries, and pay for all your comps, and still have lots of money left over to show huge profits.

Thanks for your valuable input. I will check out your thread for sure. While they may be very smart with numbers, using the percentage sign on the correct side of the number, math does not equal reality. That is the basis of mathematicians fallacy. The world is flawed. No one answered why on paper we can't travel faster than light, but on the other hand we have quantum entanglement. I'm going to go read those paradox articles. Thanks again for your post.

Yes. You asked, got an answer, and then insisted that the answer was wrong.

And you are wrong. You don't even understand the words that you are using.

You may very well have an edge, BTW. It does not take many dealer errors to make UTH a +EV game. I have played this game with an edge before. I know someone who played with a very big edge and made a lot of money this way.

Casinos generally let you play more than one hand in games where they can easily protect against you swapping cards between the hands. In UTH, the information from other hands is not worth much, and people share it anyway. If they don't let you play more than 1 it is probably mostly for game protection reasons. You can touch the cards with both hands, and a skilled sleight-of-hand artist could easily swap cards between hands and probably not get caught.

Without the entanglement, there is no mechanism to send the info faster than light! Thus, you can't send information vast distances faster than light, no matter how much quantum woo merchants and science fiction authors may say otherwise.

Again from the Rational Wiki:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement



Try again.
For example, if a pair of particles is generated in such a way that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a certain axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, will be found to be counterclockwise. Because of the nature of quantum measurement, however, this behavior gives rise to effects that can appear paradoxical: any measurement of a property of a particle can be seen as acting on that particle (e.g. by collapsing a number of superimposed states); and in the case of entangled particles, such action must be on the entangled system as a whole. It thus appears that one particle of an entangled pair "knows" what measurement has been performed on the other, and with what outcome, even though there is no known means for such information to be communicated between the particles, which at the time of measurement may be separated by arbitrarily large distances.

Experiments have been performed involving measuring the polarization or spin of entangled particles in different directions, which – by producing violations of Bell's inequality – demonstrate statistically that the local realist view cannot be correct. This has been shown to occur even when the measurements are performed more quickly than light could travel between the sites of measurement:

THIS IS IMPORTANT--

Recent experiments have measured entangled particles within less than one part in 10,000 of the light travel time between them.

Why don't we quote all the way to the end of the paragraph?

I actually have no idea what I'm talking about :(

But of course neither does the OP.

It's clear you have no idea. And I didn't get owned. It's not possible to transmit "classical" information. The spin of the electron still "knows" at faster than light speeds and adjusts it's spin accordingly. Double owned. Mathematicians fallacy check mate.

I can say with all confidence that neither one of us knows what the hell you are talking about.

Reality is perhaps the one thing that you are less familiar with than math.

+1 lol.


I don't want to plus one myself but that was good. You can't even give me credit for reality is greater than math, come on.
