No! This is not correct! If I play 100 SnG's today or one a day for 100 days, the "chance of a streak" is the same for that sample.

Currently on one now. 7 in a row 2- 1sts, 2-2nds, 3-3rds. This will end today as soon as I play though, unless I can hit all 8 when I 8 table. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It has to do with the way sngs are recorded for multitablers. At least for me, the sngs I finish ITM in tend to aggregate together because they last LONGER. So a typical set willl look like this [9,7,7,4,5,4,1,3,2,1].

Do you see why?

So if I play 10,000 SnGs during one year and you play 100 SnGs during the same time, you have an equal chance of getting a streak of 10 ITMs in a row?

8 in a row for me. Only 1 of them was 1st and most of the others were 3rds. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

No.

I said if person "A" plays 100 games in 1 day, and "B" plays 1 game a day for 100 days, the probabilities of streakiness for A=B over the 100 game sample.

Ah yes ofc the chance of a streak happening is the same over a set number of SnGs if you multi-table or not, but assuming the one multi-tabling has a lot more SnGs played (which isn't an awefully weird to assume), the one multi-tabling will of course have a bigger chance of running into a streak.

Psy_Mike · #19 08-11-2005, 10:15 AM

Ya ofc, but that's not interesting since that will almost never be the case.

A multi-tabler will more often run into a streak than a single-tabler and will ofc have a larger chance of having a longer streak if you use a time intervall instead of looking at a set number of SnGs.

You guys are both correct, and you're talking about different things. Now shut up. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I 4-table, so I feel like starting any kind of streak would have to be a multiple of 4. For instance, I cashed an entire set last night, and in my next set, i cashed 1 out of 4. However, my 3 OOTM came before I won the cashed sng, so my streak is WWWWLLLW, for a streak of 4. I'd have to guess my longest streak is maybe 8?
