ROULETTE & \"VARIANCE\"
I doubt that this will be quite the "revelation" to anybody else that it was to me, but consider this:
As I was "crying-in-my-Beer" about my 0 for 13 run yesterday and was almost P.O.'d enough to call 66's and complain (not quite) I realized that Zero out of 13 is actually fairly common in Roulette.....Back when I was devising "systems" to beat Roulette I thought regularly about the old Martingale system (and why in the hell it didn't work)....Well the reason that it doesn't "work" is that if you are betting red [20/18 against] you will encounter a losing streak, greater than 10 trials, at least once in every 200 trials....greater than 12 in 300 trials, etc.....Well, 20/18 against is the same as a 47.36% ITM. Yikes!....I'm no 47.36% "ITM'er" [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]......So, I'm gonna hit alot of zero for 13's [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: ROULETTE & \"VARIANCE\"
Good point! Kind of puts things in perspective.
At the rate I play, that would be like finishing OOTM for a whole week! Hang in there Skipper, I feel a heater coming on.... |
Re: ROULETTE & \"VARIANCE\"

Re: ROULETTE & \"VARIANCE\"
I think the variance in Russian Roulette is even higher.

Skip- You know you can call me for a sympathetic ear any time you go on a losing streak, get shot down by a woman, or accidentally put Metamucil in your Cabernet. |
Re: ROULETTE & \"VARIANCE\"
i have it on good authority that skipper likes metamucil in his cabernet, and that he does a couple lines of it before a sng because it helps keep the head cleared out also.............h

So, expect it alot. P.S. So how much did you lose on these systems? P.P.S Also, most roulette wheels are 18 red, 18 black, 2 green, making it 18/19, not 18/20. No wonder you lost $$$, you old coot. |
