Re: probability and EV question
Before moving here I once brought a date down here for the weekend - frighteningly intelligent girl with zero instincts for gaming, math, etc.
We stumbled upon a craps table and were having a very nice run about 20 minutes in.
While the dealer was paying off a winning line bet, she turned toward me and said, "you understand this stuff - what gives the house an advantage in craps" ?
I replied that it was the fact that "seven" appeared every sixth roll and that 7 was [obviously] a bad number for the average player.
She then proceeded to clean their clock (true story, I swear) by calling her bets "off" on every sixth roll.
- Do you see a parallel here ?
